“ The ribs were moist and fall off the bone meat. The sides are always good. You can't go wrong with the cole slaw and potato salad. The fried okra is very good as well. ”

“ What a fabulous staff and experience. I am a teacher and we brought in 13 fifth grade students to celebrate their year. The staff was so attentive and patient with all of us. They went above and beyond my expectations. Every student cleared their plate and, of course, loved the unlimited refills on drinks. My chicken was delicious and the baked beans were so appetizing. The restaurant's atmosphere is inviting and perfect for a bbq joint. We will definitely be going back and giving them more business. ”

“ This location is a frequent stop for a friend and I. It's no longer a full service restaurant but more of an express. Service at the counter has been reliably friendly. Food is usually served quickly as well as fresh and hot. Tonight i ordered the turkey from the budget buster side of the menu. BB with an upgraded side (sweet potato fries), 2nd regular side (green beans) and a beverage comes in under $20. While they don't feature a gluten free menu, there are gluten friendly items to choose from. My friend got a wet bandana - bbq pork & brisket, tons of sauce on texas toast and fried green beans. Looked pretty good from my gluten free side of the table. ”

“ The main dishes were excellent especially the brisket sandwich and the burnt ends. Unfortunately, we wanted more burnt ends, but the quantity is always limited, and it sells out quickly. Service was good, even though you have to order at the counter when you enter, and then someone brings your food when it's ready. As far as ambience, the location on Pheasant Meadows is dated, but it was still warm, inviting and cozy in a rustic kind of way. The fried okra is good as a side dish but as an appetizer, it was just too much okra (for 2 people). Cole slaw is good, (if you like the sweet, creamy kind ) and potato salad just ok. Next time I'll try the baked beans instead of the potato salad. All in all, good food and we'd go back. ”

“ ----- Concise Review - Great BBQ - ribs and brisket, with our friend ----- Longer Review We enjoyed an afternoon of fun target shooting with our friend, and before that we needed lunch, and our daughter picked Bandana's. We called ahead and when we arrived the friendly hostess had it all ready and waiting for us... brisket, ribs, fantastic garlic bread, and some of their great St. Louis-style and Memphis-style sauces. We got to our friend's house, dined quite well, thanks to Bandana's, and then had a great afternoon. Thank you, Bandana's for always great BBQ! ----- ----- ”

“ Bandana's offers acceptable BBQ but many of its restaurants are located near truly outstanding BBQ spots. So, when I want BBQ in St. Louis I seldom think of Bandana's. However, it was my request for non-fast food nearby and my family member's request for Bandana's. Smell the Smoke is Bandana's slogan but I could discern no smoke smell or taste on my ribs. They did have a sweet glaze rub and were fork tender. They were also the smallest ribs I've ever had. Technically, they were 2" of bone and 2" of the cartilage rib tip. Sweet corn had been cooked all day or reheated. Green beans were okay with a strong celery salt taste. I had a Budget Buster special, which was two ribs (or another meat), two sides, and toast for about $7 with tax. It was a good value. The dinner plate was the same meal with two more ribs but topped out over $12 with tax. Service was very good and attentive. ”

“ Smell that smoke! Bandanas BBQ is a local St Louis favorite with numerous locations around the Metro region. Bandanas was the first to make barbecue mainstream as a chain in the Gateway region. The barbecue meats, fixins, and pop are very reasonable priced to get your barbecue cravings under control. Bandanas has a wide variety of house barbecue sauces (Memphis, Spicy, Kansas City, Original, Sweet, etc.) to meet anyone's taste. Their "budget buster" for $5.99 is an incredible deal! You get your choice of barbecue pork, chicken, turkey, beef...two sides and a piece of Texas toast. This will fill even a hearty appetite! If you are really on a budget get water and you will be eating a much better meal, for less than you can find at a fast food restaurant. Bandanas is barbecue at a reasonable price, you can't go wrong! ”
