    Stop by for the best BBQ in town. Jethro's was featured on the Travel Channel's "Man vs. Food" in Oct. of 2010. Host, Adam Richman, took the famous "Adam Emmenecker Challenge".

    Get the Adam Emmenecker: a BBQ sandwich with breaded pork tenderloin, a bacon cheese burger, Texas brisket, & ?fried cheese? on a hamburger bun and served w/ side of fries. --Adam Richman, Man v Food

    The Adam Emmenecker Challenge, named after a former Drake basketball standout, is probably more BBQ than you can handle. Adam Richman from "Man v. Food" couldn't even tackle it. Share with friends...

    Try their nachos - to die for! 1/2 order feeds two. Oh, and their hot BBQ wings and their mac n cheese. Yum, my mouth is watering.

    Jethro's BBQ award-winning wings are smoked over oak and hickory wood for 2 hours before they are flash-fried for 15 seconds, giving them a crispy, hot taste. As seen on Food Paradise.

    Come with an appetite and split the Emmenecker with friends as needed. It quickly becomes an all you can eat feast.

    Tight-fitted shirts and Jethro's just don't mix!
  • Josh F.
    Go on Tuesday and get 2 for 1 wings. Solid!
