    Crab Rangoon flatbread
    Jessica R.

    TIN PIG - Perry, IA - THIS PLACE WAS GREAT! We've never been, driven past a few times and it always looked closed, but we were thrilled to find out it is open and delicious! They were great with my service dog, too (although we stayed so long he got a lil tooooo comfortable!). Pretzel Bites: w/ queso: average. Would've preferred other dipping sauces but no biggy. It was still good. Crab Rangoon flatbread: was AWESOME! All the right flavors combined, we ordered this one as a shareable appetizer, and everyone enjoyed it (even the one that assumed he wouldn't). Buffalo chicken wrap: not chintzy at all, this was loaded and delish. More than half the meal came home. Buffalo had a touch of heat and this wrap wasn't soggy, as so many end up becoming. Tenderloin: good gravy this is a large tenderloin! About a minute or two overcooked though, but surprisingly still good! Definitely would have been amazing taken out just a bit sooner. Also came home with half of this beast! Smoked BBQ turkey sandwich w/ house salad: he says it was fantastic, and very juicy. House salad great. Cowboy Cobb salad: too many onions (I like onions but it was overwhelming). I should've scraped some off but didn't. Toppings were great and loved the ranch dressing! Brought most of it home. May add some lettuce so it's not so "oniony" Excellent service! We loved the atmosphere, service, vibe, and can't wait to make our way thru this menu!! -- at Tin Pig Tavern.

    Cute restaurant. Locally owned. Love the decor and rustic vibe. Service was attentive and conversational. Food was soooo good (I forgot to take a pic of it because I was so hungry). They have everything from pasta, flatbreads, salads, and sandwiches. Had the rib-eye, such good flavor. Sides were mac n cheese, a little too watery for me, and legendary baked beans, sweet and meaty. Will definitely be back!

    Beer flight from the co-owned neighbor brewery.

    Stopped in for lunch. Burger was suggested by the bartender over the tenderloin as real good, tenderloin shown not to be that big for the price. Had the queso burger: open face, sautéed onions and peppers smothered in queso. Queso was okay, but thick and blah, liked the sautéed vegetables though. Got the Mac and cheese which was really good(large shell, cheddar cheese sauce) but portion was smaller than expected for the price point. Owners also have the brewery next door with their beers on tap at the restaurant. Is used for extra seating on weekends I was told. Had a flight, nothing stood out but the stout and marzen were the best. Untappd agrees with my opinion. Ambiance and building I liked, Service was good, also no cc surcharge which is nice. Overall sandwich burger was about $14-15 bucks high is high for this size of town away from the metro. Food: 3 Price: 3 Beer: 2 Service/Restaurant: 5

    Patio seating with shade and fans.

    Mid ride stop for sustenance. Stepped inside to see the host before sitting on the patio. Big selection of food and local beer from Gamble Block brewery next door. Service was fast and friendly. Food was tasty but no vegan or vegetarian options that I saw. Overall really satisfied. I'd come back.

    Buffalo Chicken wrap, and Texas fries

    One of my families favorite places to eat! The atmosphere is welcoming, and service is always top notch. The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. We've tried several different items off the menu but a favorite is The Griller. Also, make sure to get the Texas fries, you won't be disappointed!

    My mom brought me here after the re opening and i was really impressed with the service. Despite how busy they were the food came out super fast. The cheesy dip slapped.

    Had the mini beer shot, just like the the ones in Cancun. Crab Rangoon with chicken is a great pizza to try.

    About an hour and a half drive but well worth the trip!…read moreSaturday early afternoon and it was packed...about a half hour wait for seating was the only downside. Service was outstanding and the staff seemed to be handling multiple aspects of the jobs and helping each other out...no one just did one thing and I think that really sped up the service. Katie was our primary server and was outstanding! We ordered up a two and a three meat deal and had Campground Beans, Creamy Coleslaw, Cheesy Potatoes,, and Mac & Cheese as sides as well as a slice of Texas Toast and Cornbread as sides....oh, and Golden Corn Nuggets as an appetizer. The Corn Nuggets were good and sweet and served up with honey and a ranch sauce for dipping. The meat choices were 3) Ribs, Pork Loin, and Turkey Breast....and 2) Pork Loin and Turkey Breast. The smoke on everything was amazing and just the right amount for excellent flavors..the ribs were very meaty. Some places ribs leave you wanting but not at Watcha Smoking! The Pork Loin and the Turkey Breast were both very good as well...still tender and not dried out. I liked the Neck of the Woods sauce the best (mild tomato based) as well as the Carolina Gold sauce...it had nice kick to it. The sides were all good but the only issue was the Cheesy Potatoes were a bit dry.....I'm thinking that it must've been towards the end of the batch and had been sitting around for a bit. Cornbread was excellent, Texas Toast tops, Coleslaw was a good shredded, wet slaw, the Mac and Cheese very good, and the Campground Beans were the preferred side as they had some good chunks of smoked meats mixed in. Fantastic place, great for small groups and large groups as well...great food and great service...Definitely worth the trip!

    Really enjoyed the premier BBQ joint in the greater Des Moines area in my visit to Whatcha Smokin'…read morein the midst of a rural backdrop, this place was definitely worth the 45 minute trek from the state capital for delicious brisket, corn, slaw and sweet tea at a very affordable price. I appreciated the dual restaurant ambiance for a service side with waiters or a order at the register style. All BBQ restaurants have one or the other but not both. The meet was tender and juicy and as their name would suggest - smoked to perfection. I don't know if I'll find myself in Iowa ever again but if I do I will definitely make another pilgrimage to Whatcha smokin for the states best BBQ
