    The best brisket sandwich ever! I got the big one and it was very tender and flavorful! Going back today for ribs!

    Barn B Que is one of those "we go every time we are here" establishments. It is so goid and always…read moremakes us want to come back. They have a variety on the menu and they will accomodate. One this visit i got the brisket tacos and a side of onion rings. It had the right kick. Hubby got the jalapeño sausage with another meat with a tater and said it was delicious. Seated right away. Staff is always friendly. A must try at the lake!

    Well, how to describe the disappointment…read more This place seems like someone from Iowa watched YouTube videos on how to smoke meat, then bought a barn off eBay and set it up in the middle of Missouri. In a state known for barbecue - this was a huge let down. The secret is low and slow - but I don't think these folks got the message. I have had better meat made in an oven. The ribs were under-cooked, and chewy. They didn't come close to "falling off the bone". Their "rub" was thick and sweet - maybe too much brown sugar? The brisket almost tasted microwaved. It was dry on the lean side, and chewy on the fatty side. None of the tell-tale signs of smoking meat really. The sides were OK, although the "fried potato salad" is just home-fries with some sauce on them. They would have been good for breakfast though! The slaw was decent although generic - almost could have been bought from Nobel-Sysco. The green beans were a stand out, they were very good. The fried okra was nothing better than what came out of a box. The barn was really cool, and the server was very friendly. Just disappointing food.

    We went on a Saturday night in the fall. It was still really hopping around 8, and we waited a few…read moreminutes for a table. Our kids enjoyed playing on the juke box and pool table while we waited for our food. Four of the six in our party ordered pulled pork dishes and really liked them! My daughter and I shared the pulled pork nachos and they were awesome! The beans were really good. Let me just say the deep fried potato salad --YUM. It was soooo good. My son got the kid's cheeseburger meal and really liked it and the hand cut curly fries. The only person who didn't really care for their food was my dad, who got the brisket sandwich. The brisket was cut really thick and didn't have a whole lot of flavor. He's not the kind to complain though, so he didn't send it back. I think we will come again and definitely enjoy the pork and try the ribs (they had run out). We also want to try the slaw (they were out of that as well.) Courtney and the cook were super friendly and welcoming. We will come back next season!!

    Food is just so, so. Not bad, not great. Ok for a quick meal. Fair warning on the "Specials"…read more... you will be charged 33% more if you want to take it with you rather than dining in in a smoking allowed environment. It would be nice to clearly state that on your Specials menu board. After leaving irritated with the explanation of my question "why would it cost that much more to take it home and eat it vs. eating it here?" I received, which was simply "because you aren't eating here and taking it home" in a tone like I was extremely stupid, I thought about it later and understand now its probably to just get you to buy more drinks which is somewhat understandable. However, I could have just stayed there and ordered water and received the actual advertised special price so, still irritated....more at the tone of the non-explaination i recieved. I might still go back, might not. Probably not if the same bartender is there as I know now how I will be treated up front. It is the only place open nearby sometimes. This makes the decision to drive farther away much easier.
