We found this place with Siri last night on a road trip and the food was AMAZING! The owner is great and we will be stopping here every time we go to Springfield ❤️

Absolute worst BBQ ever . Baked in an oven is not BBQ . Brisket thin sliced to cover up how bad it is . DRY with zero flavor . Now the RIBS even worse . BBQ sauce like nothing tasted that does not come close to BBQ sauce . The beans again worse than bad . Biggest waste of money ever . Had left over and fed to my dog did not like it either . JOKE !!!!!!!!! This place needs to learn what BBQ is by going to a contest . They would for sure come in last .

This place was absolutely fantastic! Smoke on the food was great and the sauce was phenomenal. Best baked beans I've had in a while.

This place is my all-time favorite BBQ place! I've been going here for more than 20 years, I've never had a bad meal here. If you want authentic BBQ made with love and attention to flavor, this is the place for you!

Walked up to an unassuming building with the smell of bbq inviting us to come inside. The staff were friendly and attentive, service was fast. We ordered ribs, pulled pork, and beef brisket to share with baked beans and potato salad. The meat was perfectly cooked and flavorful. At the end of our meal, we had the pleasure of chatting with the owner who told us they’ve been open for 55 years. What a legacy and something to be proud of. They obviously know what they’re doing and have bbq down to perfection. Can’t wait to go back again!

My bf and I wanted some local bbq, walked in to a server sitting at the bar area on her phone. We grabbed menus, looked at the menu, then sat down. We were never once acknowledged or spoken to. The server never looked up from her phone, so we left.

I went in for lunch cause I heard some honest reviews. Amazing service from a lady but I later find out she was sick and coughing around our food and not washing her hands then touching everything. The place looked not very clean. I would come back but without being served by a worker with the flu or sick.
I've been stopping here every time I go through Springfield Missouri for forty years. It is as good today as it was the very first time Five Stars every time.

A historic land mark of Springfield that doesn’t disappoint to this day. Walking up to the door you are greeted by the smells of real KC BBQ, and as soon as you walk into the building you can just see the history. But not the history you hear about in Springfield. You see the history of the African American community in Springfield. As your mouth waters waiting for your food, you can read articles from across their 55 years in business on the walls. The food is divine, the owner is the nicest man you’ll ever meat, and this is the the American dream alive and well.

Normally their food is great. We ordered 2 large end spare ribs. They didn't have any cooked so we swapped to large end rubbed baby back. This time my husband and I both got burnt ribs to where all you could taste was charcoal.

This place is nasty dirty, how does health department overlook the blackened grease hanging from the ceiling? Food was barely warm and didn't taste smoked at all. Very expensive for the size and quality.

Absolutely the worst BBQ I have ever eaten in my life. The hot links were hotdogs cut very thin to hide the appearance they were hotdogs and not hot links. The ribs were ok, the brisket was super thin and had no flavor. The BBQ sauce tasted like bake beans sauce with a hint of heat. I had ants crawling on my arms and when we left I saw a small roach run across the floor. Someone mentioned atmosphere and I can tell you it sucked, go anyplace but here. I wouldn’t even give it a 1 star but had to choose something. Did i mention the BBQ sauce was terrible. However the wife did like her catfish but that was it. Out side looks nice and it smells good but once you walk in, it is very dirty. Water dripping from light fixtures and ceiling. Absolutely a terrible place to eat and mad I spent 50.00.
