Our Story
a Passion for BBQ
In 2012, Mike Bruning FOUND the art of smoking meat, igniting a passion that would shape his culinary journey. in 2017, he began making regular trips to Central Texas, where he sampled the finest barbecue and soaked up wisdom from some of the state's most respected pitmasters. Each visit deepened his KNOWLEDGE and FROM THERE HE honed his skills, transforming his backyard hobby into a true craft. BRINGING BACK WHAT HE LEARNED to Southwest Iowa, Mike was ready to share his newfound expertise, delighting customers with mouthwatering barbecue that reflects both traditional techniques and his personal touch.

Brisket was amazing so juicy and flavorful!!!! Outside bark flavoring pops in your mouth and it’s so freaking good 10 out of 10 recommend. Apple Pie Beans are amazing as well. Definitely will hit them back up when pop up in town.

Had Brunings BBQ catered for a family gather. Everything was incredible! Not a big fan of most BBQ places around here but Brunings does it right!
