Loved eating here. Nice laid back atmosphere and really good bbq! The server was very helpful and suggested many things this diabetic girl could eat. Settled on the tacos that featured pork, beef and chicken all perfectly cooked and still juicy as good bbq should be. I loved the fact that they offered a side of fruit which was also perfectly ripe. Well worth a visit if you are Jefferson City.
Wow! I’d rate them 20 out of 5 if I could. Best bbq I’ve ever had, exceptional service, atmosphere, music, vibe was great! We had the boss hog to split and sides of Mac n cheese creamy deliciousness and stoner tots crispy tots with their potato salad dressing on top. I was tempted to lick the bottom of the dressing off the basket it was that good. Brisket, pulled pork, Turkey and sausage best I’ve ever had and perfectly seasoned and smoked. I don’t like pickles and my 17 yo son had me try the pickles and I loved them actually along with the pickeled apple slices I ate all of them. I ordered Nikki’s Fruit Punch cocktail and it was perfectly tropical and tasty! Service was fast for food and drinks and waitress was delightful, attentive, and friendly. We are headed back tonight before we leave early tomorrow morning.
Food was absolutely delicious. Down to earth owners. Service was great - isn’t waiting on you left and right but I prefer that hands off, let us know if you need anything approach. Will be coming back when I’m in town.
Delicious every time that I come. We drove to Jeff City for a quick day trip and was not disappointed!! I ordered the Pulled pork nachos and my daughter ordered the Texas Tacos. Both delicious!
I'm 41 years old. Ate here on vacation yesterday for dinner and this is hands down the best barbecue place I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. The fries were amazing, the Mac and cheese was the best I've ever had, and the pulled pork was epic!
My husband and I stopped in the downtown location for lunch on our 9/11 trip to the capital and it was great! From the moment we walked in we got suggested sides (jalapeno cheesy grits) from other customers. Our server Maya was very polite and hooked us up with The Boss Hogg platter to share. All the different meats were cooked to perfection and the seasoning was so good we bought some to take home! If you're in the area I definitely recommend a special trip to see Maya, Nikki, Zoe & Jordan. You with not regret it!!
Excellent BBQ!! The Jalapeño Cheesy Grits were amazing - I don’t even like grits. The chicken and ribs were juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right! Can’t wait to get back!
Food was great, service was great. The choice of BBQ Sauces at the table had great flavor. I definitely would recommend eating here. Prices pretty reasonable and good portions.
