Cornbred - Ames
Cornbred
Description
This local barbecue hotspot has garnered mixed reviews from diners. While some were enamored by the tender brisket burnt ends and juicy ribs, others found the food lacking in flavor or temperature. Dishes like the skillet mac and cheesy potatoes were noted for their blandness, and service inconsistencies left some patrons frustrated. The lively atmosphere and friendly staff earned praise, but distractions like train noise and buzzing bees were mentioned. Overall, while the restaurant shows promise with its award-winning offerings, experiences seem to vary widely, leaving guests divided on whether to return.

I had been wanting to try this place since they opened and it did not disappoint! The cocktails were really good I got a festive one with tequila and pomegranate , and we tried the ribs, brisket, burnt ends , spicy sausage, street corn, cornbread pudding so good we ordered another serving , pineapple slaw, and hallelujah potatoes. The burnt ends are phenomenal and I was obsessed with the cornbread pudding. Hickory Park has some competition for sure on the BBQ side!! Cornbred is very unique and we had wonderful service as well! We will be back next time we visit Ames!
Cornbread Iowa is seriously AMAZING! The cornbread is hands-down the best I’ve ever had—moist, buttery, and just the right touch of sweetness. I didn’t even know cornbread could taste that good! The sides were just as incredible—I could’ve eaten a whole plate of the mac and cheese alone. And the peach cobbler? Don’t even get me started!!! It was the perfect way to end the meal. If you’re in Iowa, you NEED to eat here. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!!!!
My friend and I got their Friday steak special and a burger to go tonight and both were absolutely amazing! The steak was large, juicy, perfectly smoked and grilled. The burger was flavorful, held up quite well on the 20 minute drive home and was truly a delight to dig into. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner
