No waiting to be seated. Friendly and helpful staff. Their food is delicious! They have lunch specials and many other choices to select. There are barbeque bottles on each end of the table, with a nice selection of flavors to choose. There's a section of sides on the menu, to add to your main dish. Their prices are reasonable. I went with a group & the atmosphere made it easy to talk with others. If you're in the mood for barbeque, you definitely need to check this place out! You won't leave hungry!

Bland, bland green beans, no seasoning added! The pulled pork dry and tastless. Every time someone wants to eat here I cringe! The food, in my opinion, is not well seasoned or prepared because management and the corporate office has LOST SIGHT of 'grandma's or mom's home cooking' and chooses profits over what really and truly matters! What should be done is quality check of food preparation. Training individuals on the importance of preparing, tasting, and presenting the food! Where's the pride and love in cooking?? Anyone can open a can of corn or green beans then heat and serve! Yuck, tastless!! 🤮😵‍💫😩
Seems the employees in the food industry do not take pride in the product because the job doesn't matter, it's only a paycheck at best! So sad.

Update 8/10/2025:
I finally tried the BAR-B-Q Chicken Nachos (see photo). It was quite good—Fresh tortilla chips, spicy pulled chicken, melted cheddar cheese, and jalapenos.

My favorite of late has been the Loaded BAR-B-Q Baked Potato.
A baked Idaho potato stuffed with Wet Pork and Brisket, topped with melted cheddar cheese. Served with one side and garlic bread.

This is the Bandana's in my local area and I've been here many times. I highly recommend the pork plate.
