So firstly, I am not typically someone who writes reviews however I cannot get over how upset I was when I got my food. I have been wanting to try this place because I drive by it regularly but man it truly hurt my feelings when I opened my food and saw what was supposed to be “burnt ends”. Nothing on the meat was even slightly burnt or crispy and frankly it looks unappetizing. I tried it to see if it had some flavor because I just spent what I feel was a pricey amount for a smaller BBQ place and it still wasn’t what I hoped for. The ribs are OK but don’t really have much flavor and are more on the dry end. What my family and I have decided was we paid for the BBQ sauce because that was actually tasty. The okra was good and so were the onion rings, however you can find those at any fast food restaurant along the way. I am just disappointed.

This bbq place is one those whole in the wall kind of places. You only know about if you look it up online. The ribs, sausage, fries, fried okra, and baked beans are excellent. Met my high standards and exceeded them. The brisket was pretty good but it was a little on the dry side. That's literally the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. The atmosphere is amazing and it felt like being back home in georgia at your local BBQ place everyone hangs out and talks. The owner is extremely nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling through here or that lives here.

My husband had the big papa I think & I had the Nana ... the minute we walked in we could smell the smoked meat and our bellies were screaming. Took us a bit to decide cuz there was multiple choices we wanted and couldn't decide. The food was great.. I LOVED the brisket & the potato salad!! They were really nice and we had a great meal. We both remembered the old commercial but had never tried the food there.. but we're glad we did today while in Springfield. It's easy to see how they're celebrating so many years with good bbq like that. Highly recommend

Really excellent and kind service. We are bbq connoisseurs, and this was pretty underwhelming.Got takeout, but went in to order because the drive through machine wasn’t working. It was taped up with duct tape and looked pretty disheveled. The inside of the building looks like it was straight out of the 70s when it was built.

Tried this place for the first time today and the food is really amazing and the owner was super
Was really excited for the hubby to bring me home dinner after eating with his friend for his birthday. Ask for a brisket sandwich and my order came with a sandwich and this coleslaw ????. 2 tablespoons of coleslaw and that was it. I have waited to eat here for over a year

IMO, Crosstown BBQ has the absolute best BBQ in Springfield. And, it is the best I have eaten, anywhere. Steve Williams is a BBQ genius.

Fantastic taste every thing is so balanced! The fried okra is my favorite side tastes like the okra came fresh from the garden!!!I always get the burnt ends! Very little fat but full of juicy meat!

Food isn't bad - was the only one through drive through for a pick up order and waited over 20 minutes with no communication at all - after arriving on time when told over the phone that the food would be ready when we got there.
