Bar-B-Que Station #1 Independence

Did takeout. Tasty and fresh. Portion size is small but so is the price. Can't complain. Sandwiches looked good. Will have to come back for lunch.

Phenomenal BBQ. The owner was very welcoming. The staff was very warm. They worked very hard to get through the rush that I brought them. I brought them a bus of 56 passengers and they work through it with ease and great coordination. No one in the group had to return food all the orders were correct. Everyone food was hot and fresh off the grill. Give this location 10 stars.

This was disappointing to say the least. We spent $87.00 for three people and 2 left hungry. Brisket burger was the best thing we ordered and had good value. The $50.00 FAMILY FEAST was not meant for a family 6 pieces of brisket that way dry and room temp when served over cooked. Fries were not hot. Mac n cheese was mushie and they didn't even fill the cup all the way. Mac n cheese was a little hotter than room temp and had no taste at all. Like eating Gerber baby Mac n cheese. Service was super great servers and very polite. Brisket app was the hottest thing we got and it was okay needed spice or something..

I was here completing an IT job a few blocks down from this restaurant . Since I had some time on my hands I asked someone if they had a good suggestion for food in this area because I had never been or eaten out here. I was referred to barbecue station. I walked down to the business it was clean, service was quick and they were courteous. My issues were the fact that the baked beans were hot but my chicken was cold and not juicy, the macaroni was not flavorful. I'm not sure what type of cheese they use but it seemed to be processed. I regret not following my first mind and ordering the pulled pork. The price was decent for a choice of meat two sides and a drink. I brought it home but I didn't finish it.

Really good BBQ

Ribs were dry. Brisket was all fat. Chicken was dry. Not worth the money

Never eat at this place again.Beans were over cooked as well as the macaroni was way over cooked. And the chicken was so dried I thought for sure to get choked with. Told the woman behind the counter, about the food being over cooked.So she said I can get you some to go. But what she got me was the same over cooked food. Never again and not for that kind of money.

First time here but won't be my last. Service was pleasant and everything looked and smelled really good. I took it home which is almost an hours drive so you'd expect some degradation of flavors. I noticed the fries weren't amazing after that ride but I've never had any make a trip like that and still be as good as they were fresh. But the brisket burger was still spot on even after the trip. Good flavor from the bacon and brisket, burger wasn't dry. Next time I'll dine in so I can get it fresh and hot and take some pics.
To the staff, nice work keep it up.

Quality was awful and I will not be back

The food was incredible. The gentleman that delivered the food was friendly- the service was a bit slow but okay.
Green beans and baked beans were to die for. A lot of restaurants only focus on the mains but not the sides. This place got the right balance down. The beans were not sweet and it have just the right kick.

Me and my wife loved this place until last night, we ordered $60 worth of food and started throwing up after. My wife is currently on the toilet spewing out whatever nasty bbq is left in her tummy. It was as if the love behind the closed doors have vanished and the soul left the food.
What’s the purpose of “soul food” if there is no soul left in the food?
Please be careful eating here, I do not want anyone else getting sick like we did

I've been to the other location but drove out here to try the #1. Nice guy working the register, he said the brisket was their best thing which I was extremely skeptical about. Decided to give it a shot and tried 3 meat plate with brisket, ribs and pulled pork. I gotta be honest here, their brisket is trash. By far the worst thing on my plate was the brisket, with the mac and cheese a close second. Their ribs are very good though, almost good enough to redeem the brisket. Pulled pork was super dry, honestly literally anywhere else would have better pulled pork. Maybe I just caught them at a bad time, but don't recommend something to me if that's the case. They have a pretty good house BBQ sauce and baked beans. Macaroni and cheese tasted like buttered pasta, not recommended. They have orange crush on tap which is another redeeming quality. I'm not a brisket expert but I'm fairly certain they're cheating by doing a short smoke time and finishing in an oven or something. Very little pink ring showing, pretty sure they're cheating us. Anyways, I don't think I'd ever drive out here again for a 2nd chance. The ribs are good tho, sorry for the harsh review but this is BBQ and you're way too close to Texas to be calling this brisket. Bathrooms were grimey.
