The amount of food you get has continued to be less and less for the same price for the past couple of years. Couple that with the food itself becoming less and less tasty, hard to say it's worth the price anymore.
August 2024
Food was well prepared, portion size were just over enough to fill an adult with side and drink, price was good not too expensive for bbq. Service was a bit lacking for the size party we had but they did good. The location was open space could move around without bumping into people tables we're big enough not to bump elbows. This is the biggest Bandana's I have been to yet.
August 2024
Bbq food was good not great. Pretty good pork but the turkey oddly had no smoke on it, like a warmed up deli meat they forgot to smoke but still served to dumb customers. Sides were fine, bbq beans and pork were good. Tasted like food from a chain of restaurants with established recipes not a good bbq spot. Disappointed.
