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.

I gave this place two chances a few months apart. The first time I ate there I ordered a slab of ribs and they give me an inedible block of charcoal. I like burnt taste in my barbecue but this was absurd. I had gone through the drive-thru so I didn't find out until I was already home.
The second time is what convinced me to write a review. I got another rack of ribs, it wasn't burnt this time but was dry and tasted horrible. About an hour after eating it I got sick and threw up. I had the potato salad as a side and it tastes and looks exactly like what you buy in the container at Walmart.
This place is the worst barbecue that I have ever had. It is also the most expensive bbq place that I've been to in this town. For your health and your wallet go literally anywhere else.

The experience is like no other. This place holds so much history. The owner was amazing and greeted us himself. You can tell the moment you walk in how loved this restaurant is by the entire community. Great food! I highly recommend it. They smoke it in house. Just a heads up if you have a hard time with BBQ smoke. Otherwise, it is totaly worth it to dine in.

My burnt ends were grey and not burnt at all. Almost no flavor whatsoever. Ribs looked great but were extremely tough and chewy.
I don't know how they sell out of this stuff every day, both meals were horrible.
Normally I don’t like to complain but I feel like if I spent 34$ on two sandwiches with fries, then I should get a decent meal for that. The meat was chewy, the bread for the sandwiches which quite literally was store bought white bread, and the fries were soggy and had no seasoning whatsoever. I was craving BBQ and instead I got something that your Buddy makes at home when you come over for a “smoke out”.
