We ate Thursday evening at Smokey D's BBQ on Main St. in Chanute. Our waitress was helpful, cordial and attentive; and our food was on the table quickly. My husband and I both had the Thursday special: A burger covered with brisket, topped with cheese, then topped with either coleslaw or baked beans. Potato salad for the side. The brisket was delicious and tender, and the hamburger was very flavorful. Add a slathering of BBQ sauce, and you know this is worth a second trip to SE Kansas. I enjoyed the classic potato salad, but I do like how my husband makes it with a little Worcesterchire Sauce to kick it up a notch. We talked with the owner, Mark Davidson, and his wife. We also sampled the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. We really need some of that when you get it in a bottle! We must come back to try other menu items. This restaurant is a jewel --- tasty food at a great price.

It is kind of a shoe string operation, almost a food truck type environment, only with full table service. The restaurant is a combination of what looks to be an old industrial building with an uninsulated shed structure attached. The shed, the lower and larger dining area where you enter, is heated and air conditioned. Grab a table there. Today the AC was working hard. It was comfortable even on this hot muggy day. Nothing fancy here. A functional back street BBQ joint. Very nice and obviously patriotic folks run this restaurant. The lady that served us was pleasant and friendly. The restaurant offers the basics with a little of their own spin on the menu. For me, I tried something different, the Diablo Sandwich. Referred to on the menu as spicey. The lady serving us described it as a version of a Sloppy Joe (chopped brisket, BBQ sauce, peppers and onions). For the sides, I picked Cowboy Beans and Confetti Cole Slaw. The sandwich was very tasty. With several generous applications of the house made Hot BBQ sauce I was able to bring the heat level to what I consider spicey. Same with the beans. The slaw, average. My wife had the sliced brisket with the Rustic Potato salad. A fair serving of tender lean brisket. It had a smokey bark, not covered with an overpowering rub. Good, but she commented that it was a little dry. Sauce was needed. A big dallop of delicious fresh potato salad was her side dish. The restaurant is easy to find. It is a couple of blocks east of Patterson Blvd (HWY 69) on 8th street. Give it a try. Support veteran owned businesses.

The lady who ran the place, Randi, said sit where you like and brought menus and sweet tea. I'm not a fan of smoked meats but did try the ribs with a side of some heavenly coleslaw slaw. The bone separated from the meat and it was tender. Michelle told me to taste her smoked sausage ‍. She enjoyed the Keiki which was a shredded potato smothered with Cowboy beans, smoked sausage and pulled pork. Randi was great! We placed the order and just barely got a napkin and my sweet tea started when she came with our orders. Michelle had been here before and I'm sure we'll go again!

I wouldn't say G&M is divey, but divey adjacent. Beers are cheap, and the food is delicious. I ordered a slab of ribs, so I would have some to take home. They had a great bark, delicious flavor, and were literally fall off the bone. They didn't require sauce, which is good, as the only sauce at G&M's was a bit sweet for my taste. Don't pass up the Jalapeño Pickles! I had the potato salad and beans, both I thought leaned sweet as well, however, the Jalapeño Pickles may have thrown off my taste buds. Pay attention on your way back to the highway, because if you stay on the main road, you will be headed in the opposite direction.

From the first bite, it was clear this spot takes pride in quality. The ribs were the standout--perfectly tender, well‑seasoned, and paired with a sauce that enhances the meat rather than masking it.Pricing is refreshingly reasonable, with most plates starting around $11+, which feels like a steal given the generous portions and overall quality. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, making it an easy choice for families or a relaxed meal out.Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient without ever feeling rushed. Our group of four adults and three kids came out to $116 total, and every dollar felt well spent.Bobby D's checks all the boxes: great food, fair prices, welcoming ambiance, and genuinely good service.

I asked the waitress if they made their own potato salad or if it came in a box, she told me box so I got the cole slaw. I should have gotten the potato salad. Thick and bland, lacked marinade and flavor as if it was thrown together before serving. The wait was out of control. I waited 40 minutes for my food.
