A TRADITION OF FINE FOOD AND GUEST SERVICE. The tradition began in September of 1996 when our first Bandana's BAR-B-Q opened in Arnold, Missouri. Our mission remains the same, to provide the best Southern Style BAR-B-Q, with exceptionally quick service, in a friendly, family atmosphere. Our real wood pit smokers operate 24 hours a day, which is why you can "SMELL THAT SMOKE" every time you come to Bandana's BAR-B-Q. Our meats are hand-rubbed before they go into the smoker. This is how we apply our special Bandana's Dry Rub, which contains over a dozen herbs and spices. This combination requires 11 to 14 hours in the smoker to produce our signature Bandana's BAR-B-Q taste. The BAR-B-Q then goes straight from the smoker and is hand-cut to order. We take just as much care with our side dishes as we do with our meat. Our Potato Salad and Cole Slaw are hand made, fresh each day. Our Bar-B-Q Baked Beans are slow cooked with our special sauce and chunks of smoked meat.

Not bad as far as franchise BBQ places go. It is a solid choice. The food is good and the service is great. The restaurant is nice but can get a little loud at times. If you don't know what to do...

Bandana's is a chain and I visited a location in Jefferson City, MO. It was solid, maybe not spectacular, bit it scratched my BBQ itch and I would return. Lots to try on the menu!

We were promptly served and the waitstaff is always nice and friendly. The pork is always good and always a great choice.
