About Stookey's Famous Bar-B-Que

Stookey's Famous Bar-B-Que is a local favorite known for its fantastic barbecue, still run by the family of the original founder. It remains a great vintage roadside restaurant that many customers have visited for years. They offer a great take-home deal of 20oz of smoked barbecue, four rolls, and relish for $19.95, serving two people for two meals. Customers love their sandwiches, especially the turkey BBQ and the original BBQ, which many call the BEST. The ham is also a favorite among regulars. The service is great, with friendly staff who go out of their way to help. The menu has expanded over the years, but the flavors remain consistently delicious. Many have seen improvements in portions and quality, making it a great little place for a sandwich and sides. It’s always a good stop when in the area, and many feel nostalgic about the old-fashioned atmosphere. Never a bad meal!

I was really looking forward to a good pork bbq sandwich. I ordered one for me and a pork bbq and also a beef bbq for my husband. All 3 sandwiches were bone dry! I just always assumed a bbq would have bbq sauce on it. I heard so much about their delicious secret sauce, well it would be nice if they actually put it on the sandwiches! What a waste of money.

My family has enjoyed BBQ from Stookeys for over 50 yrs. Any bad reviews surprised me as I've always encountered friendly servers,great food with generous portions and decent prices. In my opinion sour attitudes follow sour customers.

Food was horrible. Leftovers.. I Had the Kabasa sandwich and turkey sandwich both tasted dry and old. Buns were good. Wife had the chicken (worst I’ve ever had)and ribs . Chicken was horrible looked like leftover that they heated up from week before they poured bbq sauce over it and ribs were Fatty and had tendons. No meat on the bone. Big let down. Place looks great with heritage.

Beans are amazing great prices if food was on point.
