    1oz Turkey, naked Baked Potato, and Green Beans
    Earl J.

    I'm glad they provide an alternative to fast food! It's healthier, fresher, and taste better. The best part is the staff... and I will confess the allergies are in full swing. And it if was not for Richie B, I probably would be still trying to order. Thank you Richie.

    Table sauces at Bandana's, Ballwin
    Bruce K.

    I had a one-on-one lunch today with my manager and he chose the restaurant. We arrived during the height of the lunch rush but were seated immediately and our waitress came by a minute or two later for drink orders. For main, I'm still doing my keto diet and chose the roast turkey with cole slaw and green beans. It didn't take more than ten minutes to arrive. It was a good portion of turkey that was hot and moist. Delicious and yes, I did add a bit of one of the table sauces to it. The green beans were a bit mushy and the cole slaw was wet but crunchy. The sides let down what would have been a perfect meal. Service was spot on and friendly. Price was right. I'd have lunch here again. [Review 17265 overall - 167 in Missouri - 783 of 2022.]

    two plates of meat and fries
    Tiffany B.

    The ribs and brisket were delicious! Not the best I ever had, but certainly yummy and worth it. Macaroni and fries were of normal quality but the variety of bbq sauces really make the experience! Our waitress was sweet and helpful. Very laid back restaurant.

    Off the starter menu, Chicken nachos and fried Okra.
    Tenill W.

    Food and service were SUPERB!! My hostess was amazing kind and generous! Food was nice and hot. Very clean restaurant including kitchen and restrooms. This was my first time EVER visiting this establishment and let me tell you.. I'm going back. To sit in and get serviced. They most definitely have the DRIP! Including the Queen cooking it up! Thank you all for a wonderful first experience!

    Stopped at Bandannas BBQ for lunch today, no house chardonnay or soup, can't recommend.

    Stopped at the Bandana Bbq in Baldwin,Mo. For lunch today. Completely out of House Chardonnay a d no soup, can't recommend.

    Ribs, sausage and beef
    Brett B.

    Exceptional and friendly service, with delicious BBQ. The only problem I encountered was thinking I could eat much more than I could. But ordering the three meat pairing allowed me to sample several items. And the sides (corn, baked potato and applesauce). I ordered the smoked sausage, ribs (and added an extra rib) and "beef" (apparently not brisket- not sure what it was) and enjoyed everything.

    Waitresses were extremely rude, as well as the pulled chicken nachos "if you could even call them that" had no chicken on it.

I ordered a 2-meat platter with burnt ends that were phenomenal and the smoked habanero turkey that was moist and delicious and the spicy BBQ sauce adding a nice little zing. I was a little disappointed that the place didn't offer cornbread or Texas toast with the platter and I didn't think to ask until after I got my food. Sides were good and I thought the baked beans were very good but the Mac n Cheese was a little too cheese-whizzy for me and wasn't too crazy about it but will get potato salad next time. Also I'll try their brisket on the next visit l since that's my measure of truly great Texas style BBQ. It's kind of an odd setup for a restaurant since it's inside a service station but it's a really nice service station and the restaurants decor is pretty nice. I'd give it 4.5 stars if they allowed it, but will go with 5 stars for now.

Today I was meeting up with a former work colleague and friend from Australia. It just so happened that we were in town at the same time. She was having a business lunch meeting at Annie Gunn's, so we decided to meet there after the meeting. I didn't eat, but they did during their meeting and quite enjoyed the food. The three of us (my former colleague and a current colleague of hers) all enjoyed a tea while we caught up. It absolutely tasted fresh brewed. Their first waiter left without clearing the table, so when the new server cleared it up and was so kind, she was rewarded with a nice tip and some Lindt pistachio truffles, which I brought for my friends. 98% of my reviews include photos, but because we were all caught up in conversation, I didn't take any this time.

Our server was friendly and efficient, and she seemed genuinely invested in customer experiences. Our food was outstanding, and there was plenty of it! We even had room for dessert: a chocolate chip cookie and ice cream. It was the size of a dinner plate! This was an outstanding indulgence, and I can't wait to have another one, as soon as my glycemic index allows. LOL The restrooms were pretty darn rough. Urine all over the floor, overflowing trash can, filthy toilet, etc., gave the impression that it hadn't been cleaned since the Route 66 days. Here, I am not focusing on that, since it's not what we came here for. Our overall experience was fantastic and memorable. We look forward to returning to this special historic establishment.
