From Our Truck to You
You've Got Taste. We're Grateful.
Thank you for looking for BBQ on the curated apps and then choosing to give us a look directly. That means a lot to a local food truck.
We think the real luxury isn't a fancy app. It's smoky ribs, tender chicken and sides with flavor, ordered straight from the folks who make them.

What "Premium" Delivery Really Costs
Caviar is part of the DoorDash family and is known for spotlighting popular local restaurants. Like most delivery marketplaces, though, the polished experience is paid for through fees on both sides of the order. Here's how those costs can stack up.
Through a Delivery Marketplace
| Commission charged to the restaurant | up to 30% |
|---|---|
| Credit card processing fee | 3% |
| Fee charged to you, the customer | up to 15% |
| Total taken, all around | up to 48% |
Ordering Direct From Tha Ross Way
| Commission charged to the restaurant | 0% |
|---|---|
| Extra fee charged to you | One small fee |
| Menu prices | Same as the truck |
| Anything else? | Nope. That's it. |
Marketplace fees vary by platform, plan, location and order. The percentages above are the maximums local restaurants commonly face across delivery marketplaces, not a quote from any one company. Check each app for its current pricing.

Premium Taste. Local Impact.
A direct order doesn't just feed you. It feeds a local business. The money you spend with Tha Ross Way stays in the Des Moines economy, helping us buy local, hire local and keep serving the community that keeps us going.
- Local jobs. Your order supports the crew cooking on Army Post Road.

Top-Shelf Flavor. Truck-Window Prices.
On direct orders the restaurant pays no commission, which means we don't have to raise prices to cover it. You get the same menu price you'd see at the truck window, plus just one small fee. That's it.
Treat Yourself. Order Direct.

Whichever marketplace you usually use, ordering direct is the best deal for you and for us.
