About Jethro's BBQ N' Lakehouse Location

Interior Dinning

Jethro's BBQ N' Lakehouse opened in Ankeny in December 2012, bringing our world-famous BBQ to the growing Prairie Trail community. Built from the ground up as a 7,200-square-foot restaurant, the Lakehouse was designed to be more than a neighborhood sports bar—it was created to feel like an Ankeny landmark that had been there for generations.

The restaurant's distinctive architecture was inspired by the historic 18th-century brick buildings of Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Designed to look as though it had been expanded and added onto over the years, the Lakehouse brings a sense of history and character to the heart of Prairie Trail.

Outside, two distinct patios overlook a six-acre lake surrounded by a walking trail, community gathering space, and fire pit. Inside, there's seating for more than 300 guests and plenty of room to gather for good food, cold drinks, and the big game.

The Lakehouse menu brings together Jethro's Amazing Slow Smoked Meats with seafood favorites like shrimp and salmon, along with our Cajun Creole specialties. Whether you're stopping in after a walk around the lake, meeting friends for BBQ, or settling in to watch your favorite team, there's always a place for you at the Lakehouse.
