New BBQ Coming to Cedar Rapids

There's a tasty new barbecue joint coming to Cedar Rapids.

Look for Billy Simms BBQ to open soon in the Fountains, a multi-phase retail-office park at the northeast corner of Edgewood Drive NE and Highway 100 in Cedar Rapids.

The Gazette reports the Cedar Rapids location his would be the second Iowa location after Burlington for Billy Sims BBQ, a franchise with 49 locations started by the former Oklahoma Sooners running back and Heisman Trophy winner, Billy Sims.

I've heard several people say the city could use a great barbecue joint. I can hardly wait!

Whether it's by smoky sweet barbecue or a spicy tangy recipe,  The secret is in the sauce and in the slow cooker methods that the most successful barbecue restaurants use that makes their menu so mouth watering.

You can count on me being in line early for this one.  There's nothing better than a delicious lab of perfectly barbecued baby back ribs with all the sides and Fixin's that go along with real BBQ.
