    My parents are from SEMO and started eating here back in the 1950s. Although I grew up in St. Louis, we always ate lunch here when visiting family, downing our sandwiches at the counter that's been replaced by booths. After I had kids, we started bringing them in when visiting family. When my son moved to Texas for school, he jokingly requested that we stop at Wib's and bring him a sandwich when we visited. We pulled in when they opened, ordered 20 sandwiches, and packed them in a cooler for the drive down. We had one very surprised and happy student! Would we love Wib's as much if we had it every day? Maybe not, but we love eating here when we're in town. Two hot outsides for my partner, two extra hot combinations for me, and a fries to share. Mmmm. Enjoy it if you live there! We'll be back next time we're in town.

    Delicious, first pimento cheese sandwich I've had that I actually enjoyed. Fried strawberry cream cheese pie, to die for.

    An absolute staple of Jackson, MO. Go in and get you a combination (or 3) and a Fitz and you will not be disappointed.

    Wib's food is excellent and the prices are sensible. At Wib's, the food and service is worth the cost.

    The BBQ is unique & wonderful. The fries are the best ever. The sweet tea is great, too. A long-time Jackson hot spot. Great service, too.

    The combination sandwich was absolutely incredible and exceeded every expectation that I could have ever set.

This was my first time stopping at the Jackson location, and it definitely won't be my last. My parents have been divorced for more than 30 years, but if there's one thing they still agree on, it's Dexter Bar-B-Que. I was driving in from St. Louis to visit family, and both of them put in requests--my mom wanted ribs to take home, and my dad asked me to bring dinner when I met him in Scott City. After spending over two hours in the car, my dogs were more than ready for a break. I called ahead and asked if it would be okay to stop in and grab them some soft-serve ice cream before picking up my order, and the employee was so kind and said it wouldn't be a problem. The pups thought it was the best part of the trip! When I went back inside for my food and a cone for myself, I had my hands completely full. One of the employees noticed right away and offered to carry everything out to my car. That extra help was a lifesaver because one of my dogs is a total food fanatic and was already hanging out of the sunroof with his nose in the air, convinced the barbecue was for him! As always, the food was outstanding. The ribs were just as good as I remembered, the slaw is still one of my favorites, and the friendly service made the visit even better. It's always nice to find a place that serves great food and treats customers like family.

    Ok, lets get down to basics here. Pork streak was dry and looked as if it had been sitting in a…read morewarmer all day. It had a hard, tacky consistency on the outside that gave a resemblance of a crust. That was almost chewy. The sides amd sauce are the only redeeming factors. This is sad. I came for bbq. Not sides. I had originally wanted the ribs. However to my dismay, they were serving BABY BACK RIBS instead of the original ribs for which they are known for. This was and currently is, as I struggle to chew this floor mat of a pork steak, a complete and utter waste of my time. But I paid $17 for this. So I'm going to eat it. This time. There will not be another.
