Bandana's Bar-B-Q Mt. Vernon Il

Our visit was very pleasant. Our food was great and our server was excellent.

Went into Bandana's to grab a quick lunch. I perused the menu, thinking I'd just get a pulled pork sandwich and fries, and that's what I ended up getting. I didn't see the budget-busting platters, which were under $10, and my sandwich cost almost $13. My bad. But the sandwich was good, the pork was soft and moist, and the barbecue sauces—they have about six there on the table—were very good. The service was great. Bandana's is a good place to eat if you're looking for barbecue.

If this review is helpful, please give me a thumbs up.

We have eaten here many times and never had the issues I experienced tonight. I placed a rather large order for a work event, when I arrived to pick it up, they were just finishing getting everything bagged. Once I got to the gathering and started setting up the food, I noticed they had forgotten half of the meat the meal was supposed to come with. I called and let them know and they asked if I could send someone to pick it up. When the person got there she asked if that was everything and repeated what was supposed to be in the bag, and was told twice that yes, everything was there. When she arrived back to the dinner, we had only received half of what was missing. I called again and asked if I could just get refunded for the missing item and was told they could not do that since there was no manager at the store. I accepted that and asked if I could just pick it up the missing item on my way home, as we had already pushed off letting people eat by half an hour while we waited for the rest of our order. Once I got back to the store to pick up the missing item, the lady had to double check the menu to make sure we were supposed to get what I knew we had paid for. Although we love the food here and the team at our gathering enjoyed their meal, I don't believe I will be ordering large pick up orders from this location again.

Was staying at a nearby hotel and didn't want to wander far so ventured in for dinner. The BBQ was fine. The vegetable sides seemed to have come from a can and the BBQ beans could stand to have some BBQ sauce added to give it a BBQ flavor. Coleslaw was good and had a slightly sweet taste to it. Service was friendly and efficient.

I've tried everything on the menu at this point and I have to say this restaurant doesn't disappoint. The food is excellent, the staff is always on point, and you don't have to wait very long to get your food. Highly recommend you eat here.
