Outstanding Service Food. Exceptionally tender meat and sides. Very Pleasant Atmosphere wherever we dine in. We Ordered Take Out Memorial Day and the Food was Spectacular.

Pork and rib plate with potato salad and beans
Rhett B.

I played Yelp Roulette in Evansville and found within 2 miles of my disc golf tournament, Banderas. BBQ is always a winner for me. Banderas has an up to date casual modern BBQ dining vibe. I was in a hurry so I didn't get to study the menu but I used Yelp to look at photos. I felt like pulled pork, ribs, potato salad, and beans were a safe choice. The meal came with 3 ribs which had a tasty glaze to them. These ribs were easy to chew and had a flat head to them. The outlet pork was impressive as it was cooked just right and easy to pull apart. All the sauces mixed well with the ribs and pork. The potato salad was your standard creamy mustard base and the beans had a smoky flavor to them. They tasted homemade. There are 5 sauces and all are impressive. The original is a mustard base. Then there is a Chicago sweet that had a little heat. KC was your standard mild tomato base. Sweet and smoky was an accurate description. And then the spicy which was spicy but not hot. I liked the Spicy and Original the best. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet which was amazing for me considering I was on the North side of the Ohio River. Banderas is an excellent choice for BBQ in Evansville.

ows the front of the restaurant

Decided to try out Bandana's BBQ. Crowded place but we got a table within 5 minutes. As soon as you come through the front doors, you'll "smell that smoke" which is their theme. Our server Richard asked for drink orders and returned in a minute. He is one fast moving guy and even cracked a joke. Ordered some brisket, burnt ends, turkey, chicken, ribs, smoked sausage, and catfish along with the baked and green beans, fried okra , and potato salad as sides. The food arrived on a platter and you simply get what you want and plate it. Needless to say, the burnt ends were incredible!!! Having tried burnt ends at other restaurants during my travels, the ones at Bandana's are the best so far. The rest of the food on the platter including the sides were great tasting and we nearly finished everything, except for a couple pieces of the smoked sausage, which meant no room for dessert. Richard was on top of everything, refilling the drinks and providing more jokes. He was an excellent server. Went to to the back of the restaurant and you'll see their smokers working full time to create some great food. Although there's other options that we didn't try, it is highly recommend to drop in and visit Bandana's for some incredible BBQ.

3-meat platter

Looked around for dinner and came across some good reviews of Bandana's Bar-B-Q in Evansville, IN. Sat at the bar and my server Madison took my drink order while I looked over the extensive menu. I went with the 3-meat combo platter to sample a few meats plus you get two sides. A huge platter of Brisket, Chicken, and Ribs plus Cole Slaw and Mac & Cheese (upcharge). This is a filling meal and the two huge garlic bread slabs really put it over the top. I must say the chicken was my favorite...tender, moist, and a nice smoke flavor made this the star of the platter. The brisket was just OK...a little dry and needed BBQ sauce to make it taste better (Brisket abuse...lol). The ribs were good, but there wasn't much meat on them which made them a tad dry...so good flavor but scrawny ribs. Not sure of the sauce on the ribs, kind of had an Asian "sticky" flavor. They offer five different BBQ sauces and my favorite was the Chicago Sweet...great flavor, not overly sweet, nice smoky flavor. The Cole Slaw is mayonnaise based and has a sweet and creamy flavor, one of the better slaws I've enjoyed. The Mac & Cheese was OK, but in my opinion did not justify the $1.99 upcharge as a premium side. The garlic toast was great but didn't get much attention due to the other items on my plate. The service was great and attentive and the cost for the meal was reasonable. If I were to dine here again, I would probably just get chicken...it was that good!
