Out of towners, stop by for some bbq. I had the 2meat meal( pulled pork and beef brisket)... Really good bbq .... I will eat there again when we're back in town read more

I would write a review for this place - but we intentionally didn't get served by the staff. The reason given: "They've been really slow this day and they're closing early". We arrived at 7:05p. The door states they're open until 8p. When we walked in and started to look at the menu, everything seemed normal and the staff answered one question we had. We then ordered various entrees and an order of smoked wings. They even asked what kind of sauce we wanted etc. Then, on a dime, the head person tells us "Our stuff will be in to-go containers". We're further told we couldn't eat inside since they're closing early. It's extremely extremely rare that (I) ever walk out of a place. But tonight, it seemed fitting to walk out. My suggestion to you: Do not ever think of darkening the door of this place. My last visits here had the food being barely ok to lousy. Then to have this tonight happen - they don't care much about the customer. read more

Was in town for a short visit and glad I was recommended this spot by some locals. I went with the Ed and it was fantastic. I couldn't finish it all it was a good size sandwich. The seasoned fries will make your blood pressure rise and cause water retention with the amount of salt. Service was prompt, despite a lime...it moved quickly. There isn't much seating indoors and we quickly moved to a table that someone had just left. Just as we sat down someone had come immediately to clean up and was genuinely concerned that we sat at a "dirty" table. It wasn't dirty, but that level of detail for the tables, made me feel good about cleanliness behind the counter. Would definitely visit again. read more

Buckingham Smokehouse Bar B Q - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

So disappointed! We have been going here for years! This time was definitely my last for awhile! We always get the burnt end salad, they were literally bite size portions this time, cut one burnt end into tiny pieces to look like it covered the salad. Filled with so many carrots probably a half a bag and the lettuce under was all old, wilted and gross! On top of that I watched a small roach walk under the tea container. The staff member tried killing it after I told her. They refunded for the salad and hopefully do a better job and get things in order! read more

Smoked beef brisket, smoked turkey sweet potato and regular fries, were ordered. Was most impressed with the turkey and sweet potato fries. We didn't sit down inside but loved the rustic scene and used the drive through for convenience which was awesome. The drive through waitress was super nice and helpful. Going back is definitely in the future. read more

Ribs, burnt ends, brisket and sausage were delicious! Loved the coleslaw. Would highly recommend.

Fresher meat and less dry and the server can be nicer then she was and they need to stop using bush baked beans and just do smoked beans instead it very bottom of the barrel fast food like BBQ read more

Buckingham Smokehouse Bar B Q - I give it a 5/10 there pulled pork sandwich was really dry and there was no bbq sauce on the pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

We were really excited to try this place. The pictures on Yelp looked really good and the building just looks like an old barbecue smokehouse that you knew was probably the best in town. It had that kind of vibe to it. Unfortunately, it didn't quite meet our expectations, but it wasn't too bad. I got the four meat platter, so I was able to try the brisket, turkey, sausage, and ham. I will say, the sausage was phenomenal. That was my favorite thing out of everything I tried. I would absolutely go back to get that. The ham was also pretty good, which I did not expect honestly. I would probably get that again as well. The horseradish slaw and pit beans were great. I would definitely get those again. The brisket and turkey were incredibly dry and flavorless. They're sliced really thin, which I thought I would like, but they were just so dry. I would not get those again. Mac & Cheese looked great, but tasted like macaroni noodles that were dropped into a random generic packet/jar of cheese sauce, warmed up, then topped with shredded cheese and baked, so that it looks like a good baked mac & cheese, but that's not at all what it was. Very disappointed with the mac & cheese. The horseradish sauce that they give you with your meal was fantastic. I never would've guessed that horseradish would've been so delicious with the barbecue food and barbecue sauce. And speaking of the BBQ sauces, both of those were good- the spicy and the regular/mild. The lady working as the cashier was very nice. We really enjoyed the vibe of the whole place. I just wish the barbecued meats were more juicy and flavorful. Also, the women's restroom could use a good scrubbing and dusting. Would we come again? Absolutely, but I wouldn't get the 4 meat platter again unless I wanted to double up on the sausage/ham. read more

We ordered for my daughter's wedding. While the coleslaw sounds different, go ahead and give it a try. We got turkey and pulled pork with sides of potatoe salad and little coleslaw. Was delicious! read more

Quality of many of the bbq meats is way below par. Additional proof that something is fishy about so many reviews being posted. This is a solid 2/5 bbq joint. Tired recipes and a disservice to the meats that had potential, but were stripped of their possibilities. When their top items are bbq sauces....those become a necessary component to help their boring meats. read more

It had been about 9 years since I have been here and it was just as delicious as I remembered. Well rounded menu, if you are a BBQ fan. Even have salad options. Service was amazing. Plenty of seating upstairs. You pull up and the smell of meat smoking just slaps you in the face. You know it's going to be exceptional. And it was! read more

We've been visiting friends twice a year for the past four years and this is the first time we've ever tried this place. Mentally kicking myself for not getting here sooner as the food was awesome! We're going to have them smoke a turkey for us overnight to see how that turns out, but if it's half as wonderful as the rest of their meats we should be fat happy campers. read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Poor management and customer service. Owner didn't care that he provided customers with inaccurate information. 10/10 would not recommend. Go to Whole Hog Cafe instead! read more

Love the baked potato topped with smoked pork and brisket!! It comes with cold slaw and beans but I have them leave these off. Thanks Buckingham! read more

The dinner was terrible! There was no smoke on the food and the chicken was dry. Baked beans seemed like they came from a can. Would not eat here again!!! The burnt ends weren't burnt. They were just cut up chunks of meat. Texas toast was a slice of bread read more

This was our first time here and is nothing special in the food , the meat was dry and it doesn't taste like a bbq . The question is .... If the meat is really cooked in the bbq pit or in the oven !! read more

This place has an out door smoker on the side of the road, every time I pass it I can smell the BBQ, I finally decide to go in. And I was not disappointed. My friend recommended it to me, and I have to say for $17 this place is amazing. Coming from Texas I eat a lot of barbecue. *This place definitely delivered on their burnt ends, they were moist with a nice chard crust it was warm and fresh when ordered and it was cooked to a medium/medium rare! Perfect! The pulled pork was perfectly cooked too. Their sauces were spicy or mild. Just traditional but delicious. My only complaint was the green beans were basic nothing to get. Their sides are nothing extreme but their barbecue is awesome. If you're in town or just passing through and you want the best bang for your buck you should stop in and grab a bite. read more

Buckingham Smokehouse Bar B Q - $17 for 4 meats. Double burnt ends, pulled pork and link. W/2 sides. Excellent deal! Must try - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

I went in to order my turkey and purchased a brisket sandwich and wasn't happy with the sandwich,I didn't get that smoked flavor nor was there any type of seasoning. Fast forward day to pick up my turkey had no seasoning and it was already dry. Service was great though. Place was nice no complaints read more

The bbq brisket sandwich is amazing. We have been here a few times and had different experiences. The first time we were not that impressed with the food. We enjoy bbq but this wasn't our favorite. Having the brisket sandwich will change my mind about coming back. Love the horseradish sauce also. We had a hard time getting waited on. The staff behind the counter was very busy but seemed uninterested in taking our order or even acknowledging we were standing there. It was uncomfortable and not inviting. Good thing the sandwich was good or it would have been my last time there. read more

Convenient location, great BBQ, great sauce on site plus take home bottles. Nice folks!

The food is ok but nothing special. The service is without personality. And, the abundance of flies inside the restaurant was enough to convince us that we will not be back again. read more

Staff was super nice and the food was fantastic. Even better, the prices are low considering the amount of food you get. You will have left overs. read more

The sandwich and fries special is still a good deal even though Bidenomics made it way more expensive

How this place has as many stars as it does is a mystery. Our first visit was terrible, but we decided that maybe we had just hit a bad day, so we gave it another try. After sitting in the drive thru for nearly 30 minutes, despite being the only car there at around 6:30 that evening. The place is run by a group of surly teenagers that desperately need some supervision. Our second order was for a chicken sandwich and a burnt end salad. The chicken breast on the sandwich must have been nuked in the microwave because it was literally so rubbery and chewy, our dog had trouble chewing it. The burnt end salad was basically a huge bowl of lettuce with three or four small burnt ends on top. Definitely better options for bbq in Springfield. read more

Buckinghams is my go-to BBQ in Springfield. The pulled pork or brisket as dinners or sandwiches, the burnt end salad, the combo dinners including rib combos are Ozark standards. I only get my holiday turkeys from them as well. The side dishes can't be ignored either: Awesome Pit Beans and the best Horseradish Cole Slaw around - I've got to have a quart in my fridge at all times! The rest of the sides are delicious too with a taste for everyone. And don't forget the tea... If you have a crew coming over, Dave's Pit Combo is a winner every time - pretty much the whole kitchen sink of deliciousness. Owner Dave trains his staff in the art of hospitality while serving consistently great BBQ. The smell of the pit is plenty of ambiance for me, besides the fastidiously clean dining areas. Bank on Buckingham's 20+ years of experience for those of you who appreciate & thoroughly enjoy the subtle nuances of outstanding BBQ. read more

This place was an excellent way to finish the day off after walking through Bass Pro Shop. The environment is unlike most restaurants that you place an order with the cashier. When you walk in, you are greeted with a smile and the cook asks what you'd like to eat right at the window. The amount of flavor in each sandwich was amazing, especially since it's hard to find good smoked food at restaurants. Make sure you have a huge appetite when you go to this place because the portions are awesome. read more

The food was great. My son and I enjoyed our food and the people where very friendly. We will definitely be back

Coming from Kansas City which is the Mecca of bbq this place hit the spot! I loved the ribs super tender and you sauce them yourself. However the brisket was paper thin. Brisket should be thick and hand sliced. Just my two cents. read more

We discovered this place a few years ago when we walked out of Bass Pro-Shop and smelled the smoke, we followed our noses and fell in love with this place. We stop here every time we are passing through on our way from Iowa to Branson. This year we got the 3 meat combo dinner, regular brisket sandwich and a pulled pork sandwich (last one we didn't get a picture of). Hearty portions, delicious smoked meat with the hand cut fries, Mac and cheese and fried okra were amazing. Super friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere too. read more

Hoooo-ly smokes! Imagine, just over half way through an 8 hour car trip with your entire immediate family, everyone's getting fussy, the Hanger is rising...suddenly, just on the edge of the horizon we spot it - the best BBQ in Missouri! Seriously, Buckingham Smokehouse is incredible. They have gluten free options, good salads, properly sized sandwiches, and literally the best baked beans I've ever eaten. The staff is friendly and the additional seating upstairs lets you watch all the Bass Pro drivers causing traffic and ruckus. Both sauces are incredible but the real stunner is the horseradish salad dressing. Do yourself a favor and grab a bottle from the fridge up front just to put on everything. read more

DELICIOUS! Ordered a half slab, spicy and a brisket sandwich. The ribs were smoked and were falling off the bone. The sammich was perfect. When I arrived to pick up my dinner, I was asked if I wanted spicy or regular. I'm all about spicy and my family is more "regular." I also asked for some horseradish sauce because I LOVE horseradish. We got it to bring home. The ribs were GREAT. The sammich was great. The BBQ sauce was GREAT. Sides of really good pit beans and potato salad. The horseradish sauce was TERRIBLE. It's mixed with miracle whip. Seriously. Friggin MIRACLE WHIP. BLECH! Over all the meal was AWESOME. Get the ribs. You won't be disappointed. read more

Simply the best! Located 1 mile west of Mercy Hospital, very unassuming place, and in my opinion the best burnt ends I've ever eaten! The pit beans and coleslaw with horseradish souse were outstanding. Can't wait till my next trip to Springfield so I can try the ribs!!! read more

The food was decent... but that's about it. The menu is inaccurate I ordered "THE ED" the menu states that it comes with fries on the sandwich as well as your choice of sauce and 1 side. There was no choice in side you get the same fries that go on the sandwich. Then when I asked for a sauce the employee got an attitude. The employees over all were rude and not at all helpful. To top it off although their official website states that kids eat free, they don't. Over all, I can't recommend this place to anybody. There are plenty of other BBQ places in Springfield that have a similar if not better food quality without the rude employees inaccurate menu and false advertising. read more
