Ankeny IA: Smokey D's

Smokey D's has received national attention, both at contests and on TV, for its BBQ. The space is large and bustling. The menu has a wide range of BBQ mains and sides plus a few more unusual entries.
I went for the two meat plate with brisket and burnt ends. The meat was juicy and tender but I didn't pick up a real smoke flavor. The burnt ends weren't coated with much of the cooked sauce that I associate with this treat. I was a little disappointed that the brisket was so thinly sliced---thin slices help to provide that carnivorous experience that is central to BBQ.
