Customer requests to open a complete dine-in and carryout restaurant promoted us to purchase the former Sammry Jack's BBQ and Blues building at 2511 Cottage Grove Avenue, Des Moines. Also known home to the locals as The Blind Munchies, Cheryl and Woody took it upon themselves to completely renovate the building and open a world class championship BBQ restaurant. Opened during the later part of 2008, Woody's Smoke Shack cooks all meats and side dishes on site, daily. Our Smoke Shack offers weekly specials ; weekend take out, fresh and frozen side dishes for your dining convenience, holiday menus and a full line of catering services. Woody's Smoke Shack will continue with vending and catering in their 30 foot mobile kitchen seen through out the metro area, serving the finest fresh smoked BBQ.
