    The smallest ribs cleaned: 2 inches of bone and 2 inches of cartilage rib tip.
    Michael S.

    Bandana's offers acceptable BBQ but many of its restaurants are located near truly outstanding BBQ spots. So, when I want BBQ in St. Louis I seldom think of Bandana's. However, it was my request for non-fast food nearby and my family member's request for Bandana's. Smell the Smoke is Bandana's slogan but I could discern no smoke smell or taste on my ribs. They did have a sweet glaze rub and were fork tender. They were also the smallest ribs I've ever had. Technically, they were 2" of bone and 2" of the cartilage rib tip. Sweet corn had been cooked all day or reheated. Green beans were okay with a strong celery salt taste. I had a Budget Buster special, which was two ribs (or another meat), two sides, and toast for about $7 with tax. It was a good value. The dinner plate was the same meal with two more ribs but topped out over $12 with tax. Service was very good and attentive.

    Smell that smoke! Bandanas BBQ is a local St Louis favorite with numerous locations around the Metro region. Bandanas was the first to make barbecue mainstream as a chain in the Gateway region. The barbecue meats, fixins, and pop are very reasonable priced to get your barbecue cravings under control. Bandanas has a wide variety of house barbecue sauces (Memphis, Spicy, Kansas City, Original, Sweet, etc.) to meet anyone's taste. Their "budget buster" for $5.99 is an incredible deal! You get your choice of barbecue pork, chicken, turkey, beef...two sides and a piece of Texas toast. This will fill even a hearty appetite! If you are really on a budget get water and you will be eating a much better meal, for less than you can find at a fast food restaurant. Bandanas is barbecue at a reasonable price, you can't go wrong!

    So I ordered from this pathetic "restaurant" tonight through DoorDash. I guess someone else returned their BBQ nachos and they clearly put this poop looking food back in the microwave too long and served it to me. I'm never returning to this trifling place again. I'm thankful that DoorDash gave me a refund to buy some real quality food.

    Enjoyed our meal here. The food was tasty. Portions were decent. I loved the decor which gave this restaurant personality.

    Pic of on hold time waiting at curbside. Terrible service

    Curbside is a joke. Pulled up into one of the spots. After 11 minutes on hold finally walked in. Told them that I had been waiting on hold 11+ minutes. No apologies, generally an I don't care attitude. Never again. Pic is from 8 min mark

    Quality of food has declined. My mom got a baked potato that was tiny and dried up. Pork seemed to be more gristle rather than meat.

    Bandanas used to have a waitress service but now you order at the counter. Just not as good as it used to be. Fast food with paper products

    Brisket was pure fat. Just slices of fat - no meat. Why would they think that was ok? Pulled pork was decent, but I won't be going back.

I split a full rack with mom for my most recent birthday meal and I was not disappointed! Naturally, we each had plenty of leftovers. The ribs came out with that perfect dark, smoky bark that's packed with flavor. The meat underneath was oh so tender. For one side, I went with applesauce - a classic. Appropriately chilled, it was a nice, fresh component to a largely roll-me-out-the-door meal. It was topped with a very confident amount of cinnamon. Heavy-handed for my taste, but if cinnamon is your jam, you'll be thrilled. The baked beans, however, came in hot. And I don't mean temperature; I mean with a spicy surprise. The sweetness of the applesauce cut down the bite of the heat, but I longed for milk to put out the little fire on my tongue. I have a low threshold for spicy food, so you may be quite alright with it, but it was a surprise to me. Pappy's is, hands down, my go-to BBQ spot. First enamored by the location nearest downtown, and thoroughly thrilled when they arrived in my city.

The potato salad was dry and pasty. The baked beans were much too spicy. Their service was very fast but it was a workarant. You had to order sit and they delivered it to you. The place was nice decorated with even handicapped restrooms. All in all I would go back for the ribs for sure. S.L.

    I am from out of town. Large parking lot with a ton of spaces to be. It was 1:30pm on a Sunday…read moreafternoon. Looking for a place to grab a quick bloody Mary on a Sunday. Walked into the establishment and found the bar seating was somewhat full so we walked into the high top area but did see two end seats at the bar so decided to change route and head there. It was evident the bartender had seen us when we were walking the restaurant area but took her time to acknowledge us when we sat at the bar. Ordered a bloody Mary, Bacardi and Coke. We were just drinking. Not eating today. Drinks came, small interaction with polite conversation and that was it. We finished our drinks expecting to order another round but it was made apparent since we were not a local today we were invisible. Therefore we asked for our bill and left. We understand she was waiting on other people and very personable just not with us. Will not be back. The atmosphere from an outsider perspective was not warm and friendly. I felt this was a neighborhood clicky type of atmosphere. None of the staff was engaged with us in conversation. I personally did NOT feel welcome. This was a business transaction only event I guess. It was just give me your order, pay your money and leave. A lot of people like that maybe I don't know but not me. I feel when you're at a bar, you kind of want that interaction with the bartender and staff to make you feel like you're part of something. Maybe it's just me, I don't know, but that's what I felt. I'm just reviewing it that way. Won't be back so no worries.

    Food: is good and reasonably priced…read more Service: is usually good. If the servers are having conversations behind the bar with the bartender or bar customer, good luck to you... Ambiance: Not at all good! The loudness is overwhelming. Country music playing, the 'pickup truck crowd' starts arriving around 3:00PM and drinks constantly until about 6:00 or so, getting louder by the hour (or drink). Customers with tiny babies come in regularly.... Maybe this atmosphere is attractive to the customer base, but not for strangers new to the area.
