As Al said, no good BBQ in CR. Go for the BPT for sure. Joensy's used to be the best but may have gone out of business. Called them and phone was disconnected.
The Safari lounge has a good one as well as Oscars. I ended up at the Starlight Lounge on first avenue. Not too shabby. The Tic Toc Lounge on 17th street has a good one too but don't bother with their BBQ.
A new bar that is very good is Brick's which is downtown on Second street next to the tracks. No BPT, but great pizza and breaded mushrooms. My niece Christina works there.
There is also a good pizza place on the North East side on Center Point road near 32nd street.
There is also a cool biker bar on the SE side called the Chrome Horse. Good pizza and bar food.
For an Iowa treat, go to the Amana's and have a family style meal. The Rhonnenburg is the best German and the Ox Yoke has the best steaks.
And if you want some Czech food, do down to the Avenue, 16 th Avenue, and eat at Al's Red Frog and drink some Czechvar beer.
