Food was good and generally on par with other Bandana restaurants I've visited. Building was in poor repair and bathrooms were nasty. Ordered bbq nachos that were just drenched in cheese and sauce. Not good. Ribs and pulled pork were great.
April 2025
Good barbecue restaurant!
Nice service (even though we had to seat ourselves), clean place and nice environment. Great southern style atmosphere, and great options to choose from the menu with reasonable prices. They have different styles of barbecue sauce on the table for different tastes. Food was good, but brisket was not very tender. Big parking lot and great location.
March 2025
Not bad! Its quite a ways off of the beaten path, bit the bbq was good. They had several sauces to choose from which really brought out the flavor. My only gripe was that I couldn't take more with me or try the full menu. I was there in the early afternoon, but "by the pound" wasn't available until evening along with most of the main courses. The daytime bbq was limited to a few appetizers and a sandwich.
