Bandana’s BBQ

Server was very kind and knowledgeable. The food came out quick and was very delicious. Our whole group enjoyed the array of sauces that they had to choose from. Overall, I would go back.

decent, good service id go again

Love the sandwich but the rib are AWEFUL to much chili seasoning. That all I could taste. It just ruin the ribs!

We tried the chicken barbecue nachos and the chicken was so tender and flavorful. We enjoyed the sauces all very good. I had the pork & beef sandwich, the bun was fresh and delicious as the meats and coleslaw. 2 sandwiches and appetizer plus 2 drinks $ 29. Great deal and top notch food

I miss BBQ in KC, but Bandanas keeps it real and tasty. The service is always great and I love the sauce options. The mustard based sauce works well for dipping fries! Thanks!

This past Saturday my family came to Osage beach for our wedding, and Bandana BBQ catered our wedding. BBQ weddings are the best! Kacie, the catering manager, was amazing! She was an amazing help for my family and had a smile on her face the whole time in the 90 degree heat! Everyone said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Thank you Kacie and Bandana BBQ for helping make our wedding better than we expected!

Very good food at a reasonable price. All with good service. I’m glad I found this place.

Good food. Lots of sauce choices. Kids cleaned their plates so that’s a great sign! Would have ordered a salad, but it was the bag-​o-​salad.

Not too bad. The BBQ was a little bland and dry, but ok. The wait staff was very friendly though and the kids loved the place. Not too pricy either.

Pretty decent barbecue! We got the combo option that feeds four and it was probably meant to feed more like six, it was huge! We loved the smoky and sweet sauce and the Chicago sweet. We also liked the pulled pork, nachos and the fried green beans. Their baked beans and coleslaw are the best sides, in my opinion! The soda was kind of funky, but my little girl loved the bottomless bucket of lollipops for kids, so four stars it is :)

Visiting from the Kansas City area. Great ribs and the sauces were awesome. Chicago sweet and the sweet and bold were my favorites. Very pleasant folks, loved the atmosphere and the prices very reasonable. Really good BBQ! Highly recommend.

Reasonably priced, open later than most restaurants down at the lake. Came in around 10pm on a Saturday night and they were more than happy to serve us. Their salads are amazing and are reasonably priced. Would go there again when I go down there next!

Uh oh. They switched corn in all the restaurants to something horrifyingly inferior, turning a consistently safe bet for good BBQ into one that you can still get as long as you don’t want corn.

Went in with 9 people, good service, hot food. Everyone was very pleased with their food from nachos to the three meat platters. Brisket & pulled pork where fantastic & the KC BBQ sauce was my favorite. Okra, potato salad & baked beans seamed to be the favorite side choices. Large portions & reasonable prices also able to handle larger groups. We will be back. Only thing I didn’t care for where the boiled peanuts but that may just be a personal preference.

Another great meal here tonight. Had the sausage platter and it was great. Love the variety of sauces, Reasonable prices, plenty of food, and very good service. No dissapointment here… Bandanas delivers!

Average BBQ compared too almost any place in KC. Pork was way chewy and beef was full of muscle and chewy. BBQ sauce was just okay. The beans, garlic bread and okra were good, but not worth the money.

If you want some reliably good BBQ then a chain like bandanas is the place to go. However you can find better in the area.
I usually go for the wet bandana. It is a pulled pork sandwich with sauce already on it. Add some more from the table and you are good to go. For the price you pay to get 2 sides I personally think it’s too much. You should be able to get 2 side for a better price elsewhere.
The environment is nice, if a bit loud at times. Have never had to wait for a table so that is a plus.

I never have had a bad meal here. Some people may knock it as a «chain restaurant,» but good food is good food.
I’ve been to several around the St. Louis area and to this one several times. This one is probably my favorite one because it seems like the nicest and the cleanest I’ve been to. The staff at this location is always friendly too.
I’ve had just about every meat on the menu and they are all good. This last time I had just ribs. The flavor was good as always, they could have been a tad more tender though. Portions are nice sized and you will leave this place full. The garlic bread is excellent. Not only is the food good, it is very consistent. There is nothing worse than going somewhere and getting a good meal only to go back to order the same menu item and it is a big disappointment. They have I think four different BBQ sauces and the die hards can hate me, but I love the Chicago Sweet. I pretty much dip everything in it.
Strangely, I do not «crave» going here, but when I go, I always have a great meal.

Great food and fast service. The BBQ sauce is great just check your pulled pork though I almost broke my teeth biting into a bone while eating my pulled pork sandwich.

Pretty good BBQ for the lake!
Ribs are good, prices are fair!
Best than Most!
