Boxer Barbeque - Council Bluffs

Returned with friends. Great experience again. The chicken was the clear winner for me (5 stars). I can see myself driving back just for this item. If I had only 1 choice for ribs, the st Louis would be my pick. If you like a leaner rib, go for the baby back (that was my friends preference) The pulled pork was a solid 4 stars We got in depth with the sides. Number one pick is the cheesy potato casserole. The baked beans and the corn bread were tied for second. Acceptable at 4 stars was the potato salad and the coleslaw. The only thing I would skip was the Mac and Cheese. We did 4 desserts. Brown Butter cake 5 stars Bread pudding 5 stars Lava cake 4-5 stars I'm not a huge chocolate person but I can tell this is done very well. As a lava cake it probably deserves 5, but personally because of my preferences I prefer the other 2 Bavarian pretzel 3.5 stars ________ Initial visit. Stopped by this bbq place for lunch a week or so back. I really enjoyed the sides here. The sandwiches are very generous portions. Service was very friendly.

This place was incredible! One of the best BBQ places I’ve been. I have I’ll certainly be back multiple times. The sides were amazingly good. In particular the hash brown casserole and cornbread were among the best! Fries were great too! The meat was great. Only things I would suggest is adding a thicker sweet sauce. 9.431 out of 10.

Many BBQ joints across the country are in new builds designed to give it a cool, vintage look. At Boxer BBQ they have that authentic smoky coolness in the building and the dining area as well as in their scrumptious food. We dined on Chicken, Beef Brisket, Baked Beans (worthy of seconds), Mac and cheese and their corn bread you could eat like cake. Mixed the spicy and sweet sauces on the table to create a delicious taste worth of the smoked, tender meats. Sweet ice tea kept a coming by our terrific waitress Abby. Enjoyed the half size of their apple bread pudding with ice cream delicious! Really cool joint, lighting, music and beers on tap. Bought a new summer shirt for the summer bod. When we go back to the Bluffs to see the Union Pacific museum, we’ll be sure to step in the ring at Boxer BBQ.

Plentiful amount of meat in the nachos and sandwich. The nachos had a ton of cheese but it needs to be spread out more instead of globs mounds in chips so the cheese is on more chips. The meat on the pulled pork was juicy and not dry. The waitress was really nice but didn't check up much on us for drink refills and such. They have parking on the side of the building.

This place is super yummy! Loved the pulled pork sandwich and baked beans. The mac and cheese was okay, could have had more flavor. The staff are friendly and doing a great job. Get the pig pen nachos also, they were a real treat.
