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.

Ordered out and had a great experience! Ordered BBQ for Two and everything was delicious. It was all packaged with care and the food was fresh.

We ate at Bandana's BBQ in Columbia, MO last night before checking into our hotel. My husband ordered the Brisket Sandwich. The brisket was so fatty he had to disassemble the sandwich and cut away...

Ribs were excellent, garlic bread to die for. Waitress Penelope was very nice. Nice cold beer. Great place for great ribs.

Dry, uninspired bbq. I should have known given the mediocre rating given where it is. Buttered corn side was alright. Fried okra was okay. Avoid the brisket. Burnt ends were so-so. Pulled pork...

Second stop in here in two weeks. Return trip from Colorado. Tesla charging on I-70 is usually fast food like sonic or Arby so this place is a very exciting and welcoming change. Had the lunch...
