Consistently the best Barbecue in Mt Vernon. Lizzie is always a great server and the team is always friendly, timely, and helpful.

Barbecue chicken and Nachos are always good too.
November 2025
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...
October 2024
Amazing food and service. DJ the daytime bartender was the awesome. next time we work in town we will be coming back. Hotel guests next door get free soda and prices where great I recommend the brisket melt it's like a French dip but way better. As well as I had the wet bandana their signature brisket and pork style sloppy Joe on garlic bread.
