About Jethro's BBQ All Stars Location
Jethro's BBQ All Stars brought a new chapter of Jethro's history to Downtown Des Moines. Located at 221 Park Street, directly across from Casey's Center and the Iowa Events Center, All Stars puts our Amazing Slow Smoked Meats right in the heart of the action.
The story of All Stars began with Jethro's original Drake University location, which first opened in 2008. While that restaurant was temporarily closed for renovations, an opportunity emerged to bring Jethro's to a 7,000-square-foot, two-story building in Downtown Des Moines. With the two locations so close together, the decision was made to permanently close the original Drake restaurant and carry its legacy forward at Jethro's BBQ All Stars.
As the closest restaurant to the Iowa Events Center, All Stars is a natural gathering place before and after concerts, games, tournaments, conventions, and other downtown events. It's also a place where longtime Jethro's fans and first-time guests alike can settle in for BBQ, cold drinks, and plenty of sports.
Cityview readers honored Jethro's with top awards for Best BBQ, Best Wings, Best Nachos, Best Sports Bar, Best Onion Rings, Best American Food, Best Family Restaurant, Best Wait Staff, and Best Overall Restaurant.
