OUR STORY

Whatcha Smokin' BBQ + Brew sits along Highway 17 in Luther, Iowa; where our pitmasters prepare Central Texas-style craft BBQ smoked daily and proudly served fresh pit-to-plate! Our hard-working Kitchen Team lovingly makes all of our sides and desserts daily, come early before we sell out! Partnering with Iowa Farms, Breweries, and Distilleries, supporting local is important to us, and we value supporting our community here in Boone County.

OUR SMOKY JOURNEY

A Taste of Whatcha Smokin's BBQ Legacy

What started many years ago as a gas station and then motorcycle-shop, has now turned into Iowa's favorite BBQ destination, opened in 2017 and very proudly debuting at the Iowa State Fair in 2023 next to the Iowa Craft Beer Tent!

Relax in our Patio with the garage doors open, our air-conditioned Clubhouse with motorcycle memorabilia from BFE, or in our beautiful shaded outdoor dining area, serviced by our signature Grain Bin ordering counter! 

Sit back, get comfortable; everyone is family here and we can't wait to meat ya!
