The Jefferson City location is terrible. I had a to go order on 9/10/24. They did not give me what I ordered which I didn’t discover until I was home 15 miles away. When I went back the next day the manager on duty only offered to replace the wrong or missing items. Not much good when I’m not there to eat. Surprisingly they will not receive any additional business from me. As such they would receive no stars if possible. This is a pathetic effort at customer satisfaction.

Absolutely DELICIOUS! The brisket was juicy and tender, perfectly cooked and seasoned. And the chessy potatoes and Mac n cheese were flawless. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. My only complaint is that the chairs were a little uncomfortable, especially if you're plus size as the back of the chair curves in and pokes you the whole time. All in all, it was definitely a delicious and great experience, highly recommend and definitely the best BBQ I've had around here :D

I worked in a factory 3 years ago and Lutz catered there. The meat was so tender and juicy so I went in the restaurant to order the same thing. Sadly, the chicken sandwich was very dry. Tasted like it was a day or two old. I will not come here again.

One of our favorites in Jeff City. Sandwiches are large enough to share.

I stop here every time I come to Jefferson City. It's the only one in the country I believe. The brisket is the best I've ever had(other than my own of course). They are a little pricey but the portions are fair and like I said... It's ?

So, who would you consider the best BBQ in Missouri? If you're leaning towards StL or KC...let me review a place in JCMO that will give them a run for their money. Lutz's very likely has the best BBQ in JCMO and has sauces that can compete with the big boys at the American Royal. Lutz's resides inside a gas station (used to be a Blimpe long, long ago)...due to a bit of local history regarding food trucks in JC. Yes, they started as a food truck but due to local ordinances, they moved into a gas station. Due to formerly being a fast food sub joint, their dining is a little small. However the dining area has a great atmosphere for a BBQ restaurant. The decor is well appointed and compliments the cuisine. The service is also very good; while they are a counter-serve restaurant their staff is overall very attentive and friendly. Now let's get to what puts Lutz's on the map; their outstanding BBQ. For this review, I had one of the daily specials being a sliced pork sandwich with house seasoned chips. The pork was flavorful and moist and was generously proportioned on this sandwich and had the right amount of seasoning and cookies just right. The chips...let's say there's a good reason when my folks order a carryout order, especially when serving dinner for my sister and her family, they always have to get two bags. These are homemade sprial-cut chips made right in store. These are sliced nice and thin for that irresistible crunch and are fried just right. They also have a wide variety of spices and seasonings they and apply to your chips. For my basket, I had their house seasoning which I think works well with their chips. On the table, they have a couple different sauces you can sauce your BBQ with (or dunk those chips or fries in). One is (if I recall correctly) their KC style sauce, one is closer to a Carolina vinegar-based sauce and one is spicy. Speaking of, if you love that sauce you used so much, they also sell their BBQ sauces in-store (HyVee carries them, too...but I recommend getting it straight from the source as they tend to sell out at HyVee). Outside of what I had, I also enjoy their chicken and their ribs and they have a good brisket, too. You can also order ahead either by phone or online, useful for a big family meal or setting up some catering for your event. Definitely don't let the gas station location discourage you; you'll be missing out if you do. For BBQ in Jeff City, definitely stop at Lutz's...though don't blame me if you're returning for seconds or more.
Parking: Lutz's shares building space with a local gas station and is situated in a strip mall. There, there's some parking space right by the restaurant as well as right next door in the strip mall.

Love their BBQ. Their homemade chips are excellent with lots of flavors to choose from. My only wish is there was more seating, a bigger venue. During meal times, it is always packed, but seating is very limited.
