Bandana's Bar-B-Q Cedar Rapids IA

Good food. We got the meal for four, and all the food was very good. I love BBQ and I'm very picky about my pulled pork, and this had no chunks of fat mixed in, which is very important. No one wants their pork filled with a bunch of fat. 👍. Good food here. A little pricey, but worth it. We had plenty to take home for another full meal.

4.5 stars. Haven't eaten here in quite some time and the wife and I decided to swing in for dinner. Greeted right away with a friendly welcome and how many. Floors were clean as well as the tables. Restroom was clean and well kept as well. Our waitress *Emily* was fantastic!!! We ordered the BBQ for 2 and a pair of sweet teas. Everything was fast, fresh, and well prepared. The meats are lightly seasoned and I feel they leave the sauces to do most of the talking. 5 sauce choices available at the table. Chicago Sweet, KC, Original, Spicy, and Sweet and Smoky. So there should be a taste for everyone's pallet here. It was quite busy during our visit but it remained pretty quiet making visiting with your table easy to do. And the Manager stopped by during our meal as well to check on food and quality. Overall good experience!

A straight 5 stars for the food and especially the staff. We walked in unannounced at 720pm on a Saturday night. Their friendly professional staff had us seated quickly (table for 17) Attended to our needs including drinks and requiring 6 different tickets. Food served without delay or mistakes.
I had the ribs and my friend had the brisket.
Awesome experience all around

The place has changed some things and food wasn't as good as it normally is when we go. Also waitress didn't look like she wanted to be there.

Such great food. Pricey, i think probably higher than others in the area but they always have been and they've survived for years and years now. Good stuff. Really quick service because everything's already cooked so they just have to split it out to each plate. Sides are also really good which is not typical .

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The food was perfect 😀 The beans were really good and so was the garlic bread! They’ve also got amazing brisket and just the overall vibe was really neat. I like how the food isn’t so calorically dense either but still very tasty. The service was even better; Jason B was my server today and he was really sweet and efficient! This is my second visit to Bandanas and I’ll definitely be coming back regularly.
