Any business that openly promotes this corrupt administration is not deserving of my patronage EVER AGAIN...and I’ll see to it that I share this fact with everyone in Polk County! Shame on you...but it is your right to allow support for any subject you wish, but it is also our right to choose to avoid those businesses that openly support unpopular ideas, positions, and political agendas.

Great atmosphere, music, awesome waiter and service...the dry rub o... read more

Wonderful service and the food was delicious. Being a southern girl I’m particular about my BBQ and Jethro’s nailed it. The fried pickles were perfect as was the brisket. The kids really enjoyed their food as well and it was plenty with them having some leftovers for the next day.
