Friendly hostess, friendly server. Nice open space with plenty of seating. The bar looked like a great place to enjoy a meal or just drinks. The outdoor patio also has great potential on a beautiful day! I ordered the Cranberry Walnut salad and it was excellent. Fresh ingredients and a nice portion size. Hubby had the pulled pork with a side of baked beans and he said it was very good! Even commented on the quality of the bun. This is a place we will return to on our drives down Highway 70! read more

From the 305. This place was awesome. People were very friendly and really nice. Food and drinks were great. Opened late was a plus in Mid Missouri. Will definitely come back read more

Traveling from Pennsylvania back home to Colorado. This place is very good and service was top notch. I don't leave reviews unless things are really bad or really good. This place is top notch. read more

A colleague and I were traveling on business and enjoyed our first trip to the Banded Rooster enough that we decided to use it for a graduation celebration for an apprenticeship program. What started as a few in the party ballooned to almost 30 people. Staff handled it with courtesy and aplomb, with very little noticeable disruption, even with an additional party going on. Kudos to all. read more

My Dad and I are here today, Great place! If you're passing through kingdom city (or live there) and want something way better than fast food chains - this is it! I liked the old time, country atmosphere here. I wouldn't change a thing about the vibe. Our waitress (young, brunette, sorry I didn't catch your name!) was very nice to us throughout, she got our seats promptly, took our order promptly, helped me decide between two options, and was attentive to our table during our visit. Thank you for the great service. We had the pork tenderloin sandwich and catfish nuggets plate, both of which were delicious. My fries and Cole slaw was good too. Thanks for the great meal. Just to provide some constructive criticism for the business, the bathrooms could use some love. Lots of people passing through, a good bathroom is gold while traveling. read more

The food amount was generous and very tasty. The chicken fried streak was huge. The restaurant is a little off the beaten path, but definitely worth finding. We had a group of 25 and service was good. read more

Friendly local bar & grill. Close off I-70 highway. Good food. Not great. Kitchen over cooks most foods til is dry and needs another beer. read more

I guess this is just a hit or miss place. Last time I went they had changed up the menu and removed many items. This time the sandwiches were nothing great, just so so and the fries were all about 2 inches long. So, you may hit a good day and maybe you'll miss read more

Went here with family and it was a pleasant little surprise off the beaten path. Will be back again for sure. Quick and polite service. The selection of food is good and the quality is there as well. The cheese curds were great and so were the potato wedges but they did come out screaming hot so be aware there. We had burgers, fried chicken, pasta and a steak sandwich and everything was terrific. The inside was nice, friendly and clean. We will be coming back again for sure. read more

One of my favorite restaurants along I-70 between Columbus, OH and Denver was the Buckshot Saloon. I was disappointed to learn they had closed. Tonight was my first chance to try the Banded Rooster, the restaurant that replaced the Buckshot Saloon. I'm happy to say I have a new favorite restaurant along I-70. The Banded Rooster is great. We got there about an hour before closing time and were greeted immediately when we walked in. Our waitress and the service were excellent. My wife ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries and I had the peanut butter burger - also with fries. Both of our sandwiches were excellent. I'm a burger nerd and this burger ranks in my top 5 anywhere. The fries were the thin ones - I thought they were good, the wife thought they could have been crispier. Overall, excellent food and service. My new favorite restaurant along I-70. read more

Great food and great service. Always make time to stop when we're in the area. Excellent meals--and the location is easy to get in and out.

I used to go often to eat there. Since they moved the food isn't the same They advertise via FB, even the pictures don't look appealing. Not sure what happened to their food and service. I'm sad and disappointed read more

OMG a new favorite place! Stopped here for lunch on Thursday before heading to Mexico for PT. I will be back! Only had 1 negative & that was took a bit for someone to seat us. read more

Food is delicious. Service is fast and pleasant. New location is great too! Bonus is they are right next to a dance hall. Worth the stop!

Excellent service! Varied menu. Loved the Brussel sprouts, fried chicken and cheese curds. Chocolate chip skillet for dessert was awesome. We'll be back. read more

Stopped in this old school country style bar & grill on our drive home from Kansas City, to St. Louis. What a treat. The motif and decorations inside were really neat, with a cowboy/country theme. Our server named Kaylin, was both friendly and very helpful & courteous with regards to the menu and her service. The food was outstanding. I had their BBQ Burger, which came with onion rings, barbecue sauce and cheese, set atop a double burger. There barbecue baked beans were also outstanding. Highly recommend if you are traveling through the area and thank you again, Banded Rooster, for a great meal. read more

Friendly staff, delicious food, great vibe! Not too far off the freeway. So glad we stopped here on our way across the country.

Saturday at noon, not crazy busy but started to fill ip about 12:30. Side salad was good w/thousand island. Wife got the Ribeye Sandwich. She was a little surprised when the sandwich was a steak, two slices of bread and some spread and that was it..... She said flavor was great but would probably go with something different next time. I got the Buffalo Wings for my entree. There was absolutely nothing "Buffalo" about the sauce. More like a BBQ Honey sauce. Zero spice/kick to them. Pretty disappointed in my choice and won't be getting the wings again. I did like the Wings themselves and how they were cooked but was looking for something that had some kick. Service was good for the most part, but once the food dropped we didn't see our server again until it was time to deliver the check. The atmosphere of the place is nice, but I wish the TVs were a little bit bigger so watching a game was easier. Overall it was OK for a Saturday lunch. Will probably go back because this area has absolutely Zero quality dining establishments (that I have found) and this is the best of the limited offering available. read more

What a complete waste a "new location" same old metal pole barn style of every other "new construction" around the area ( boring, disappointing & unattractive) same meh service & bump in prices with ABSOLUTELY NO bump in quality. In fact, lower quality. Used to visit often......NEVER AGAIN. Rather drive 20 miles to Columbia to insure my health. read more

We had the ribeye and Cody's chicken. For am app we had the fried pickles. Outstanding meal and great service. If we had this at home I would eat there every night!!!! read more

Had lunch here with a group of 18. I cannot say enough about how great the service was. Our server was Jill and she got all the orders right and made sure everyone was happy with their selections. I definitely recommend this place. Wide variety on the menu and everything tasted great! read more

The peanut butter burger was a nice surprise. It really works. The fried pork loin is also really good. Nice size portion fried well, not dry or greasy. The only downside is the fries were so salty we could not eat them. This is a small place. 8 tables plus 5 hightop tables and a bar. That's it. Restroom was clean. 4 tvs plus one on Keno all the time. It is worth it and we WILL stop again. read more

Passing through on was to Lake if the Ozarks. Not to far off beaten path, and was worth the stop. Party of six of us and everything was spot on one. Food was great and service was excellent! read more

Great pitstop for travelers on I-70 in Kingdom City! Clean establishment with a variety of food options and delicious drinks (for passengers, of course!) The staff was super friendly and the food was hot and fresh. Prices were reasonable for the portion size. read more

Great smash burger. Great location. Service was fast. Staff was efficient and friendly.

Good service awful food. Small town local eatery. Could use more staff. Prices little on the high side for what u get. Onion rings are missing the onions. read more

Was visiting my dad, and he had friends recommend the Branded Rooster, so we came. The place was clean and the staff was friendly. I decided on the reuben and fries. The sandwich was delicious. The corned beef was seasoned well and not overcooked. It was thick cut meat, too. The house sauce was good but didn't taste any different than any other reuben sauce or Thousand island dressing. The fries were hot but way overcooked. Overall, i enjoyed it. read more

Went there and had a great experience so decided to go back on May 24th. Big mistake. Pot roast had no flavor and the waitress was horrible. She even reached her arm above my head to open the shade on the window to put the sun in our face without asking us if we minded. So disappointing. No one got a salad like last time either. The onion rings still had the skin on them.i want my 1st time experience back. read more

Good presentation, good food, good staff. Easy access off the interstate. Mac n cheese burger and pot roast both amazing. read more

We eat there quite often and haven't had a bad meal. Pulled pork nachos are great. Also a great little bar.

The roots of this place as a dive bar are clear, but it was clean and bright and very full on a Thursday evening. All four of my family enjoyed their meals, and the server was sweet about splitting the check to accommodate business expenses. read more

Great food, prompt service, good central location for our outing. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere as well. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Fabulous addition to the Columbia (Mo) area restaurant-bar scene. Improbably located roadhouse just off the I-70 Kingdom City exit, it's also easily accessible to StL-KC or LOTO travelers. Obsessive attention to detail and cleanliness and service & food quality which belie the place's laid back appearance. My five star review is based on multiple visits. Daily specials with pics posted on FB. Skilled kitchen and an impressive bar program served up in a former biker bar which has retained its friendly, authentic charm. The Banded Rooster is one of Missouri's most delightful culinary stops, and a credible destination in its own right. read more

FYI.. they close at 7:00 on Sundays! It shows they are open until 9:00. We were so excited to go there for dinner after reading the awesome reviews but they were closed. Next time we come through town we will definitely come in! read more

The food is good. We love the atmosphere , and the staff are always nice and on top with drinks and getting the food out!

A phenomenal find! The service was very good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, which was fresh and perfectly balanced. The fried pita chips were also fresh and walked the line between crispy and chewy so well. I had the ribeye sandwich because I couldn't pass up the local beef, and it was the right choice. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and delicious. For my taste, there was a little much bread, but the boursin cheese was a great flavor addition! My friend had the Yankee Burger, and all the elements were balanced and so good that he had to finish it despite being full! A delightful find that I highly recommend! read more

Popular place with locals and I-70 travelers. Good food from a kitchen staff that cares to put out quality. Great value for food and drinks. Nightly and weekend food specials elevate the menu quite a bit from your typical roadhouse offerings. Try the cheese curd bacon jam on the peanut butter burger - makes it even better! read more
