Welcome to Smoked and Sassy BBQ, where tradition meets innovation!

At Smoked and Sassy, we don’t just grill—we orchestrate a symphony of flavors. Our commitment to excellence is as unwavering as a perfectly smoked rib. Here’s why we stand out:

  1. Certified Smokers: Our Chief and Junior Smokers wear their Kansas City Barbeque Society certification like a badge of honor. They know the rules, but they also know how to bend them—because that’s where the magic happens. 🌟🔥

  2. Game Changers: We’re not content with the status quo. While others play checkers, we’re busy inventing new moves on the BBQ chessboard. Expect the unexpected when you dig into our menu. 🤔♟️

  3. Community Roots: As retired farmers, we’ve tilled the soil and sown the seeds. Now, we’re cultivating something even more vital: community. We’re proud members of Iowa Corn and the Polk County Farm Bureau. Because good food isn’t just about taste—it’s about nourishing the bonds that tie us together. 🌽🤝

So come on over, fellow flavor enthusiasts! Let’s swap stories, share laughter, and feast on meats that’ll make your taste buds high-five each other. Smoked and Sassy—it’s not just a BBQ joint; it’s a delicious revolution!"
