Just had the bbq nachos and like always super good . Staff excellent and distance to wait on them all time . Great all around

Ate here 2x this week. Servers are friendly and attentive, food comes fast and is very tasty. Love the budget menu. Portions are perfect for small eaters. We'll be back next time we're in Missouri! read more

Brisket was 70% fat and serving size was very small for the price. Turkey my friend had looked good. Service was good but the food was not very good as far as the brisket. Wish it was more meat and a better cut. Very disappointed with the food. Good atmosphere and service. read more

The food is great. The price for our takeout order was awfully high. We were not given any of the sauces we requested which upset the husband and since we are 45 miles away, I couldn't go back. Was not told that I would be charged extra for burnt ends or mac and cheese when you add to a takeout order with a slab and a pound of meat. My mistake I guess. Food always good. read more

I don't think that you can get a bad meal at Bandanas. Everything I've had here has been very good. They specialize in BBQ so that has been good when I have had it. It's a little bit expensive but everywhere else is too. read more

had a nice lunch with friends. new years eve lunch. our friends ordered the budget meals and they looked anything but budget. I ordered the bbq baked potato. it was good except that the meat they used was all dried out and was hard and hard to cut and hard to chew. the baked beans were good and the bread is to die for. I could have just ate bread and baked beans honestly. service was good. the total for 4 people was right about $50, so pretty reasonable. I forgot to get pictures. read more

Good food. Great owner. Knows how to cook KC bbq. Owner very proud of his skill and should be. Good job.

So many varieties of food and absolutely delicious. Service was fast and amazing and she checked on us from beginning to end. Ambiance- Very clean and busy . read more

Let me first say, it's NOT ABOUT THE PRICE!!!! This goes out to our server, Meggan, who could have done a much much better job at actually doing her job. Our food was great!!!! The manager coming out to talk to us was great!!! The atmosphere was great!! Today's visit could have made my birthday so much better if the server hadn't rolled her eyes at my husband when he asked her for a to-go cup for me, AFTER she had asked him if he wanted one--totally ignored me whether or not *I* wanted one too. Had he not already given her a tip, she probably wouldn't have gotten one!! This wasn't our typical visit here as normally we have GREAT service from almost every server there. read more

A year ago, wife and I ate there on our anniversary, I forgot what the problem was, something small, they brought my wife something else, and at the end, they gave us a business card with a discount of some kind on it. Mind you, they fixed the problem, then, they gave us something for free the next time we come in. That's service. Across the board above average flavorful food. Decent prices, not too bad, but the bread, folks, the bread is to die for. Lots of sauces to choose from, but the flipping bread is worth getting extra as a side instead of beans. Good safe quality night out where you get your money's worth and it's not cheap....but definitely worth it. read more

The atmosphere was fine and the staff was friendly and helpful. The pulled pork was super tender. The ribs were a little tough. Despite having 6 bbq sauces, I was not impressed with the options. Corn and green beans were out of a can. The applesauce was chunky and delightful. read more

On our way East towards Alabama, we stopped for lunch in Sedalia. Man, what a great BBQ joint. Hubby and I split the Pork & Brisket platter. We had beans and sweet potato fries as our two sides. Yowza! EVERYTHING was yummo! Seriously, I think the brisket was the best I've ever had. We tried all the BBQ sauces, but Chicago Sweet was our fav... on the meat, on the fries, on everything. Delish. The sp fries were an upgrade, and well worth it. Service was fast and friendly. What a lil' gem of a restaurant! read more

I am giving them three stars for the excellent service and sweet tea refills. I had the two meat combo platter and went with Turkey and brisket, with fried okra and Cole slaw (recommended in another review). It also came with two slices of toasted garlic bread. Did I mention how much I enjoyed the tea and server? I will preface the rest of my review with the disclaimer I am not from here (or there). Let's see... the Turkey was pretty moist but not really any smoke to it. There was no skin so I don't know if they smoke skinless breasts, but it was pretty good deli-quality Turkey. The fried okra was okay. It is pre-breaded, frozen okra, so nothing special. The coleslaw is, meh. They use lettuce in it, I suppose for filler, which has a particular non-cabbage taste, and the sauce could have been out of a bottle. Nothing special. The most disappointing part of my meal was the brisket. It was so very dry and tough. It had obviously been sliced well before it was served (like hours) and there wasn't even an effort made to maintain any sort of moisture. It reminded me of the Sunday dinner roast beef my mom would make for my dad. At least we had gravy. I used the KC BBQ sauce to help me get it down, and that was pretty tasty. This may be the best BBQ in Sedalia, which is unfortunate. If it isn't, then I would strongly suggest the best place find people to use Yelp. read more

Bandanas Bar-B-Q and Catering - The toast was perfect... - Barbeque Near Me - Sedalia, Missouri

My husband and I enjoy the ribs, pulled pork and the sides but we decided to try the smoked chicken wings and they were AMAZING!! Nice Smokey flavor, NOT fatty or rubbery, just delicious. I also got an order of the buffalo wings and YUM! Their buffalo sauce has a little heat, great taste and didn't set my mouth a blaze. Couldn't stop eating them. Service is always great, it was take out but the restaurant was full and hoppin'. read more

Food quality is outstanding and the customer service is great! Looking for good bbq, this is the place!

I didn't get any pics before we ate it all! Had a group of 6 and we all loved our food! The sweet and smoky bbq sauce was my favorite and I had the burnt end sandwich. My husband has the brisket bbq salad with bbq ranch and it was great! Our group also had ribs and we all tried the Mac and cheese. Can't go wrong here! Everyone was also super friendly. read more

So I've seen this place for awhile and decided I wanted BBQ for my birthday and didn't want to drive all the way into Kansas City for it either. We ordered a half rack of ribs for my oldest son, I got the burnt ends sandwich, the wife got the brisket lunch, and we got the whole smoked chicken (really its two breasts with wings attached) for my youngest. Fries, coleslaw, and baked beans rounded out the sides. The ribs were okay, nothing special. The smoked chicken is very good as was the brisket lunch. My son gave up on the ribs and stole most of the wife's brisket so I didn't get to try any, she wished she'd order the dinner. I'm not sure if they do pork burnt ends here, because that wasn't beef in my sandwich. The beans and coleslaw were good, especially the coleslaw. If you read the menu, it says that the fries don't travel well. I'm not sure if them mean to your home or even to you table because they were uninspiring to be sure. For the most part the meal was good, the server was a sweet girl, and the place would've gotten 4 stars, however when I ordered more brisket and a half pound of burnt ends to take home, I discovered once we got home that while the burnt ends were definitely beef this time and better than what was on my sandwich, the "brisket " turned out to be sliced pork. I specifically didn't get any pork because they slice it; I'm not a fan, and I think it's lazy BBQ compared to pulled pork. At least they only charged us for pork and not beef, but I wasn't happy. I really should have read the receipt a lot closer and checked the takeout before we left, but rounding up kids to get them in the car tends to shift priorities. I might come back, but I'll definitely be verifying everything if I'm going to spend over a benjamin on BBQ again. read more

Just alright. Nothing special. Not a great representation of Kansas City Style BBQ I was hoping for. The dining area is nice and employees are nice but the food was very plain. read more

Average BBQ. The ribs were NOT fall off the bone, I actually had to fight and pull the meat off the bone. Sauce was average. Fried okra isn't supposed to be clumps of 5-6 pieces at once either. Coleslaw was good however. Will I go back??? Only if they are the only thing open. read more

Food very yummy, service is great, very kind waiters, I don't really care about ambiance, but I'd still say it's pretty good.

Just tried Bandana's Bar-B-Q for the first time yesterday and it was wonderful food. We did take-a-way, so my comments are in reference to that experience. We enjoyed every food item in our order. We each ordered a two-meat lunch (pork and brisket). It was plenty tender and very tasty. There was a good selection of sauce in the bag. The sides (bbq baked beans, corn, and potato salad) and bread were just delicious. Finally, it was a great deal. Our two meals totaled under $25. I can't believe it took me two years to try this place! I will be back soon! read more

Didn't know about this place since we are from out of town. The best BBQ we have had in a long time. Great service , friendly staff and the best food. Worth the drive. A touch of whimsical? decor, washboard lights, a thousand bandanas. But it works and is memorable. read more

Excellent MO BBQ. Don't know the last time I had BBQ from Missouri but I really enjoyed it this time. Had the ribs and brisket combo with potato salad, baked beans with garlic toast. All of it complimented each other very well. The waitress was superb. read more

No. Don't do this. This isn't good Q. They have a six pack of sauces, none are very good. The KC sauce is thick and syrupy, everyone knows KC sauce is vinegar based: Gates, Bryants, etc... Excluding KC Masterpiece which is the oddball, I don't know about that one. Anyway, after the sauce gimmick they have uninspired menu of average smoked meats. Thick smoke that isn't pleasant that covers their average quality meat. If you've read my reviews you know I'm picky about BBQ. Even Rib Crib(average to poor) has the redeeming quality of all you can eat rib night, but Bandana's is just, well, there serving up the ordinary. Just down the street on Thompson Blvd, in front of Ace hardware is a little kiosk where a man I simply call the 'Barbeque man' serves up the best BBQ in town. read more

We stop here on my way down to the Lake house. It was a Friday about 2 o'clock in the afternoon so it was slow . We were seated and served right away my husband and me ordered the 3 meat combo plate to split. We had ribs, beef and turkey. The turkey and beef came in chunks not slices. Although it had nothing to do with the taste I thought I would mention this. My husband preferred the beef, I preferred the Turkey and we both loved the ribs . We both ordered side salads for a small up charge so I have no idea about the other sides. Even though we was both full from the combo plate we shared we also sheared a piece of the apple pie. It was worth every calorie and extra crunch I will do to keep my figure. read more

I have eaten at many a Bandanas. This one has great service and even better food. I had the beef and brisket lunch....it was dinner time but she gave me the option. I accompanied this with beans and okra. Their beans are some of my favorite, not quite at number one but I can say my number three overall. The brisket was moist smoky and firm. Qualities that I look for in a brisket. The pulled pork was nothing to wright home about though it was mediocre at best. Their bread is good with a crunchy texture. read more

Talk about fat and happy. I'd don't typically eat ribs, but when in Rome right? The waitress recommended ribs and brisket! I got a side salad and potato salad and I swear the portions could feed two people easy. Couldn't leave without snagging a slice of Carmel apple grannie- to die for!!! read more

The pulled pork sandwich was like I was eating shredded goats tail. No amount of BBQ sauce could help it.

The food was GREAT tonight, and the service was even BETTER!! Very good crew, great waitress. These people are trying hard! Great meal and great experience!! read more
