Ames, IA
Hickory Park
1404 S. Duff AvenueAmes, Iowa 50010-0765
Phone: (515) 232-8940
With election season rolling around the corner, we will find ourselves in Iowa quite a bit. In my collegiate athletic travels in the Big 12 conference, I can tell you with 100% certainty that Hickory Park was our favorite restaurant. I didn't think I would ever say some of the best BBQ is in Iowa. The menu (http://www.hickorypark-bbq.com/menu.html) is ridiculous. I was a big fan of their ribs selection. The beef ribs are huge but the pork ribs are more tender. The meal portions are really big. But save room for the dessert. Fifty-one, that's right, FIFTY-ONE different sundaes adorn the dessert menu. Or you could just go for a Float, Frappe, or Phosphate.
It's worth the 35 mile drive from Des Moines to taste the best Ames has to offer.
Open Sun-Thurs until 9 and 10 on Friday and Saturday.
