I come from KC BBQ so Im biased but thought this was a pretty solid BBQ spot! I thought the food was pretty good, the Mac & Cheese was exceptional! The sides were a touch small but tasty. I had the ribs and tried a piece of turkey from my dad's plate and preferred that a bit more. Service was fast and tentative. The overall vibe was very on theme and cute! read more

Bandana's BBQ - Osage Beach - 1/3 Slab of Smoked Ribs Sweet Cut Corn Mac & Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

Family of five came to eat lunch on a Tuesday. It was not a full house but had steady crowd. Seated and drink orders in right away. Five different orders and all agreed it was really good bbq lunch with perfect portioned sizes. Estrella was also an amazing waitress. She was prompt and did a great job answering our questions. Cups remained full and plates cleared quickly. She was super friendly and great attitude! read more

Bandana's BBQ - Osage Beach - Wing Meal - Barbeque Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

Fall off the bone ribs of mg ! And plenty of sauces to pick from outside seating great customer service didn't try anything else

Food was mediocre. Skip the baked beans. The servings were generous, prices reasonable, service was good, bathrooms were clean but the restaurant itself is badly in need of refurbishing. read more

Good food. Quick and friendly service. Quiet spot to eat with the whole family. Will return next time we are in town

food was amazing.. they never disappoint.. great portion sizes.. look forward to my next visit.

Ordered delivery with Uber. I got burnt ends, which are normally my favorite because they're usually a little burnt and fatty and tasty and easy to eat. These were just burnt. Burnt to they point that the dogs had trouble chewing them. They sent two small cups of BBQ, but that wasn't enough to get the burnt ends down. Ordered fried green beans. They would have been good if they had come with some kind of dipping sauce like ranch or something. But there is nothing, or they sent nothing. So they were plain. Donut holes are awesome. They didn't send the requested plasticware, so luckily, most of it could be eaten with fingers. read more

This is the worse experience of bbq I have had in my entire life All was dry sauce was nasty The corn had a weird taste to it Service was great tho 1/10 My friends and I will not be coming back $50 for bad food no thanks read more

Heck ya!! BEST RIBS I'VE EVER HAD!! It takes a lot to impress me with bbq and I'm impressed! The atmosphere is awesome. We had a side salad with Bbq Ranch dressing! It was DELICIOUS!! Out came our combo plates and my hubby gasp. The amount of food was eye popping. My brisket was perfectly moist. Yep! I said it .... moist ( hubby's was a little dry) loved the Sweet & Smokey bbq sauce and the Spicy. Potato salad was homemade! Beans are quintessentially baked beans. Let's talk ribs... don't you dare order without trying the ribs. Perfection on a bone. Glad I have a doggie box for lunch tomorrow!! read more

Bandana's BBQ - Osage Beach - Wait'n to be seated. Gotta love a restaurant that is bold enough to put their kitchen out in the open. - Barbeque Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

The ribs served at the Osage Beach, MO, Bandanas (4 February) were the absolute worst I've ever had. I thought they were smothered in sauce that was charred before serving, but learned the gritty paste covering the ribs was their "rub". The pasty rub was thicker than the scanty, long-overcooked meat that peeled from thick bones. A grave disappointment. Perhaps using decent ribs and a proper rub would help. read more

We're visiting from out of town & have never eaten at any bandanas locations. We were pleased with how quickly we were seated and our waitress, Addie, was absolutely lovely! The first plate of brisket we got wasn't too good but Addie was very eager to fix that and get us a fresh plate. The manager then came out and made sure we were satisfied and boy was that second plate of brisket GOOOD!! All in all, the food was good but the service Addie provided was great. We will definitely be returning! read more

Excellent BBQ and a lot of great food for your dollar. Service was fantastic and very clean as well. I would highly recommend this bbq and probably as good or better than wobbly boots. read more

This is a great spot for date night or even just a quality meal out with a few friends. The people working at this place are so amazing! The BBQ is stellar and you will want to get some of that BBQ to take with you. I am nervous about going out to eat due to allergies and the staff here were kind and honest. The waitress informed the cook and I felt better just knowing what I was able to have. This was my first time going to this place and it was a great experience thanks to the great food and cool people. I highly recommend this place! read more

Heather T always greets you with a smile and always goes above and beyond in service. In my opinion they serve the best bbq at the Lake. And love the decor . Make sure you stop by and say hi to Heather when you are in Osage Beach David Henderson read more

Bandana's BBQ - Osage Beach - $9.00 lunch, delicious. - Barbeque Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

We have been Loyal customers of Bandana's for years. I feel like we have become family more than customers. We are always greeted with friendly hellos as we walk in the door. Everyone is very knowledgeable of products. Amber Brandt has always been our waitress until she became management. We think of her as our daughter. read more

Once again this place does not disappoint. Great ribs by far. The food is very good. Haven't been here in about 5 years or so. And everything is just as good as before. You should really try this place when you are in town. read more

Bandana's BBQ - Osage Beach - nachos with cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

This store in Osage Beach is by far the best of all that I have visited. This is likely due to management as Logan sets a great tone and the staff is all very friendly. The food has always been perfect and generous portions are given. I highly suggest you visit this location if you're in the mood for b-que! Combo Plates are my favorite and the choice of sauces is awesome! read more

We came in yesterday and LyLiah helped us out with our Carrie out it order. She was amazing , fast and our food was great!

I've not eaten at the one at Osage Beach, but have at the one in Independence, Missouri. I was very pleased with the service and food. Would gladly do business with again. read more

Had barbq pork platter very good, meat not fatty. Fry's and cole slaw very good . Service was great. Only complaint restaurant needs a good cleaning. Ceiling and rafters filthy. Same as our last visit about 6 months ago. read more

They have changed a few things since I went there previously. Mostly on their sides. The green beans were straight out of a can as was the corn. The bbq beans were not great either. Their meat was really good. The service was excellent. read more

Wow! This place was delicious! We ate here a couple times while visiting the area. The staff were ok, but the food and sauces were great.

We went here for dinner on a Monday around 5. We were so happy with everything. I had the combo with ribs and brisket. It was so good. And even the potato was freshly cooked. We could not get over how inexpensive it was and how great the food was. 2 meals and 2 glasses of wine and a soda and our check was $60. And we brought enough food home for another meal. Best BBQ I've had in a long while!! read more

We came here for lunch on a slow weekday. Food came real fast. We ordered a pork sandwich and a beef sandwich. There are 6 different sauces on the table. We tried them all and especially love Chicago Sweet. The meat portion is very generous. We left with a real full stomach. read more

See all

I was lured in by the smell of smoke rolling. I was impressed by the fact it was one of the few places in this area that actually seemed to care about COVID precautions. The server was very pleasant and attentive. Menu seemed to have a good variety of choices and several different sauces to choose from. Portions were certainly adequate and the pricing was reasonable. Restaurant also did a good job carrying theme throughout and decor was nice and inviting. Overall, a pleasant dining experience- would definitely recommend and return. read more

People are very happy and Cheerful. Very friendly. Place is clean. Most of all the service was great. Waiter was great and on the ball. Food was very delicious. When I come to visit Missouri , I will make sure to stop here to eat read more

This place was so good we ate here (takeout once) three times in a week! So glad that the meat is unsauced, as it should be and the fried okra was amazing! Also loved the garlic bread and the kids were thrilled to have the smoked chicken (also unsauced). read more

Was expecting more by reading the reviews. Have had a lot more authentic BBQ at other places at the Lake

Absolutely delicious BBQ! The ribs are to die for! I also have celiac disease and they were extremely accommodating! Delicious food! We were a party of 13 and I'm always the odd ball out with my sickness, not a problem at all! We all loved our food! Excellent service! read more

Excellent ambience, service, atmosphere and food. I had the sliced brisket sandwich. I used the KC style BBQ sauce. They had 3 others you could use (spicy, Smokey sweet and Chicago sweet). The sandwich had a generous portion of meat. Maybe a tad bit dry, but the sauce took care of that. Excellent flavor with or without sauce. The French fries were freshly cooked and very good. My friend had the pulled pork sandwich with fried okra and said it was very delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

You can never go wrong stopping in here for a meal! We order the half rack of ribs most times and it's delicious! Staff is attentive and friendly. read more

We drove through town to visit my mom and decided to go out to eat. Right away she recommended we eat here, so that's exactly what we did. First off Osage I must say the entrance to your town is gorgeous. Bravo. So anyways when we got inside we were seated right away and there was only a couple of other people eating, granted it was only 2pm on a Monday so it's not surprising. Our food was pretty good, my mom and her boyfriend are regulars here and love everything they offer. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with fries and baked beans. My plate came packed with lots of food so I ended up full and happy, with leftovers to spare. The only complaint I have is how much "burnt end" there was to my pork. I get that some people like that but I'm not into it so I picked those pieces off. I like that the meat comes without sauce so you can add more as you please and choose the sauce that you want. As for the sides the fries were pretty good, hubby thought they were bland but didn't care too much. The baked beans were yummy, slightly sweet and savory, classic baked beans taste. Service was a bit slow considering how there was only a couple of other people dining but our server was also very nice. If I were to come back i'd visit again. BBQ isn't my favorite but this place was better than I expected. read more

Service was great. Food was just ok. Brisket and pork were dry. My bar is if it is better than my BBQ and it lagged.

Food was excellent and came to the table fairly quickly. We had Amber as our waitress and she was great! Would definitely recommend!

Great food, excellent service! My family all enjoyed every bite! From Louisiana and wasn't quite sure what Missouri bbq would be like. Well, it didn't disappoint! They had 4 varieties of bbq sauce at the table, I chose the sweet and smoky. It was great! I highly recommend! Family atmosphere read more

I'm giving them an extra star because they were very accommodating with our food allergies and the service was excellent. The quality of the food itself was an average 3 stars. Good enough to fill you up, but nothing special. I would come back here again primarily for the quality of service. read more

This restaurant was delicious and affordable. The portion sides are perfect. We had 10 people in our group the price $95 . Good bbq. Great customer service. Took care of the kids drinks whole time to. Great place read more
