Budget Buster Pork
Marley R.

Overall this was a good price for a cheaper family night out! We wanted something quick with sides and this worked great. Obviously not the best bbq, but good for the price. The pulled pork, beans and mac n' cheese are the best we tried in our order. I like that you can sub a side instead of bread.

Ordered a budget meal and was disappointed. Sides were fine and I would have been fine to order just those for the price. The turkey on my plate was ok tasting, but was about an ounce of meat. Other meals I noticed were about $5. more but seemed like a better and more complete meal. The feel of the place is fast, factory made food. Service was good. Just too fast food an atmosphere for my bbq taste.

Ordered brisket and then don't even look like brisket and it has a lot of fat on it and it was tough.The macaroni and cheese look like sour cream so it made my stomach hurt

Combo - tasty ribs & juicy thighs. Yum!

This Bandana's gives you nice large portions in a stress free BBQ joint atmosphere. They have a small patio out front and a ton of tables and large bar inside. This Bandana's doesn't look like a part of the franchise formula, but is a nice departure. Service is good and food comes out quickly, so it's a great option for a quick lunch away from the office

Spent $59.00 today on two meals and the baked beans were so tight and dry it was ridiculous!! I am so tired of spending my money on St Louis restaurants and if all of it isn't trash at least one or more sides you're going to have to throw away. I asked for utensils and barbecue sauce didn't get none. I live to far in order to return it. I'm done with fast food period. The beans were bone dry and thick we threw away three of these lousy!!!

a minute ago I came in at about 230PM. The meat was cold. There was food and trash on the floor and stayed the whole time. The backed pato was the best part of the meal. However i was charged 1.25 for extra small amount of cheese. The claw saw was real dry and plan. On top of the meat begin cold it was just plain. I had better bbq from o most everywhere else. The television was playing fox new no need for all pollical nonsense while eatting. Now for the service the servers did the job but nothing about the service stucked out.

I just got sides of beans and coleslaw. Very tasty - a bit sweet, but it tasted good.

You walk in, they tell you to order at the counter, hand you a number, and for a split second you…read morethink "oh, this is gonna be a glorified Chipotle situation." Reader. It is not. It is a Trojan horse for one of the best burgers in St. Louis (my wife says I'm being dramatic for calling it THE best; I say I am not NOT going back for another). We enjoyed everything we order: the pork belly burnt ends and cashew chicken wings, and a coffee & cardamom old fashioned that sounds like a personality disorder but tastes like a vibe, smoky, a touch sweet, and very drinkable year-round. The Sam Elliott burger, BBQ sauce, bacon, crunchy onions, brioche, is named for a man who has never disappointed anyone, and neither does the sandwich. And the meatloaf is NOT your grandma's brick: tender, charred at the edges, laid over silky mashed potatoes with broccolini, perhaps closer to a chop steak than a loaf in the best possible way. Vibe is farm-chic: old church pews, repurposed interior doors, a proper bar up front, plus a patio and rooftop for when the weather cooperates. Fun fact -- it's named after the blue duck Billy Madison paints in elementary school, which is a fantastic piece of trivia and tells you absolutely nothing accurate about the actual restaurant. 4.7 Stars. Picking Nits: the counter-order setup is efficient, but it sets expectations in the wrong direction for the first 90 seconds, you brace for fast-casual and instead get something considerably more ambitious. Food comes out fast once you've ordered, which is great if you're hungry and slightly jarring if you wanted a slow, lingering dinner. And the Billy Madison naming is charming trivia but entirely misleading as a vibe preview, no complaints about the actual restaurant, just the branding expectations it sets. If The Blue Duck were a character: Ron Swanson. Hear me out. If Ron ate here, he'd be suspicious of the entire experience until his first bite of protein -- the counter ordering, the repurposed doors, a burger named after a fellow mustachioed American, all of it registering as potentially too clever. Then the Sam Elliott hits his plate, he takes one bite, and the skepticism dissolves into the quiet respect of a man who has found his people. Looks rustic. Has strong feelings about meat. Secretly sophisticated -- plays saxophone in a jazz club under a fake name, builds his own furniture, would 100% approve of the farm-chic decor once the protein has spoken. Presents as simple. Isn't.

I've been here many times and sadly I can say twice I had decent food and service…read more Saturday, March 14th we had awful food and the service wasn't any better.

As a restaurant, not too bad. As a BBQ place, there are others much better locally…read more Despite the smoker in front of the door, smoked chicken and brisket had no discernible smoke ring or smoky taste. The chicken could have been roasted, and the brisket was inconsistent with some tender pieces next to extremely tough, overcooked pieces. Sides also varied. A side of creamy coleslaw started fine, but ended with a heavy mayonnaise taste by the bottom of the container. The stand outside was crispy, fried okra. Service was attentive and pricing was fair. Smoking Barrels has a comfortable, cozy dining room with outside seating available for those rare, comfortable St. Louis days

My husband and I decided to give Smoking Barrels BBQ a try despite seeing the mixed reviews -- and…read morehonestly, I get why opinions are all over the place. A real chef or BBQ enthusiast can tell the difference. We ordered 2 lbs of rib tips, two boxes of pulled pork mixed with brisket, fried okra, and potato casserole. I'll start with the positives: the okra was fried perfectly -- nice and crisp -- and the potato casserole truly made me smile. It tasted exactly like the one my mother makes for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year, so that was a sweet surprise. However, the rest of the experience was just average at best. The rib tips had a good flavor but were extremely dry, and they didn't seem grilled at all -- more like they were baked, just as other reviews mentioned prior. Long time customer's can also tell the difference because people mentioned the brisket and chicken being baked also .. hence why the food is greasy and dry. It's obvious. The pulled pork mixed with brisket honestly tasted like the Jack Daniel's microwaveable pulled pork from the grocery store -- not something I expect when paying restaurant prices. Potion size for the potato casserole was small. As for the garlic bread, it was just okay -- not memorable. Tastes nothing like garlic. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience. I wanted to love it, but there are too many better BBQ spots in St. Louis to roll the dice again here.
