    Mac And Cheese Smoked Pork (Dinner) Garlic Bread (1) Side Salad
    Erik T.

    I forgot to take a picture I started eating but I knew as soon as I went into the building to get my togo order it smelled amazing! Everything tasted great and the portion sizes were awesome. The service was awesome as it was ready quickly! Highly recommend!

    Bandana's BBQ is great spot for a filling BBQ dinner. Seemed like every dinner option was served with garlic bread and a choice of two sides. The ribs - They we're pretty good! A decent amount of meat on the bone. Each bone was separate so it made eating them a whole lot easier and less messy. The brisket - Very dry! Not too much flavor. Chicken - Incredible! Cooked perfectly, very moist and flavorful!

    $6 meal- pulled white meat chicken, baked potato with butter, green beans and garlic bread.

    Bandana's is my kind of BBQ that comes with lots of options and spectacular service. They have a value section that includes your choice of meat (pulled chicken, pulled turkey, sausage, etc), two sides and garlic bread. The calorie count for each individual item is on the menu so you can go as healthy or indulgent as you want. The baked potato with sour cream and butter is ~250 calories while green beans are ~30 calories. They also offer baked beans, fried okra, corn on the cob, and a handful of other items including premium options that you add on for an extra $1. At the table is about six different options of BBQ sauce, ranging from Spicy to Chicago Sweet, and all of them are delicious. My pulled chicken with a baked potato and green beans came out to $6, which is a steal. They also have a rewards program if you live in the area, and they give you a dozen donut holes that taste like funnel cake on your birthday. If only I lived closer.... :) Service is sweet, and head of house checks in on how you like your server as well as the food. Great team approach. Bandana's is a must every time I visit Carbondale!

    Smoked chicken- lunch portion

    Most of the restaurants in the area are stilled closed due to covid. So we stopped by on 4th of July to grab a bbq for dinner. The place was very empty, only few people were dining there. I ordered smoked chicken lunch portion. It came with 2 pc of garlic bread and 2 sides per my choice. Corn was good, green beans - could not eat them, way too salty and very overcooked. Chicken tasted good, I brought leftovers home - no way I can eat that much.

    Food and beer were delicious. Italian beef sandwhich and southwest patty melt were spot on. Service…read moreis a little slow, but bartenders are waiting on everyone. Come in, relax, enjoy your time, and your food and drink.

    Oh boy, where to start. I guess I'll begin with the positive things about this place; the…read morebartenders/servers (they're the same people) are friendly...and that's pretty much it. There are QR codes on the bar for the beer menu. It isn't accurate, they're out of several. I was told by a staff member (again, it's hard to tell who fills what role so I'll just call them staff members from here on) that they are "locked out" of that account so I should check the board behind the bar. The board lists the flavor and usually the type of beer. It does not list the manufacturer or really any other details. At this point I ordered a beer and the chicken nachos. I received the beer promptly. I finished that one, then another. Still no nachos. After an hour+ and 3 beers, I cashed out and left. At least they never tried to charge me for the nachos. I witnessed numerous dishes returned to the kitchen. There were 2, sometimes 3 staff members for the entire bar and dining room. All were friendly but seemed inexperienced. I witnessed at least 2 on their phones at some point. Last but not least, the atmosphere. The place could be really amazing. When I was there, the bar was sticky. 3 of the lights above the bar were burned out and the fixtures, obviously intended for old looking filament bulbs had bright LEDs installed giving the ambiance of a hospital waiting room. The recessed can style lighting in the rest of the establishment wasn't much better. The stools at the bar are seriously worn. It's almost worth visiting for the spectacle...almost. Update: they did charge me for the nachos. I misread the receipt that night.
