I'm in town for the weekend & wanted to compare MO bbq to Texas. I got the 2 meat plate, brisket & chicken with mashed potatoes & Mac & cheese. It was super dry, looked like it had been cooked a day or 2 ago...the mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box & Mac n cheese was meh. Note to self: Missouri bbq has no comparison to Texas bbq. My stomach hurt that night & I got sick the following morning. :( I won't be returning to this establishment & can not recommend. read more

Amazing service and delicious food!!! Ambiance is definitely casual but western. I would recommend giving it a try is you are not a local and are passing through too. It's my favorite restaurant to go to! read more

We stayed at Holiday Inn Express near by walked out and smelled smoke from what we know is good BBQ. Needless to say we found it. Husband and I both got diff dishes and both were great!!! Coldest beer we have had in a long time also! Servers were great and lots of them read more

Very good place! From sweet server to great food. BBQ - pulled pork, ribs, green beans and fresh bread. All very yummy. Good find in the middle of not a lot. read more

I would NOT recommend eating here. My brisket was hard and dry. It tasted old as well. My friends had the chef salad and the ham on it tasted old and stale. She couldn't even eat the salad. It was gross. The food was awful. read more

Ordered takeout tonight and throughly enjoyed the dinner. My wife and I enjoyed the Chicken Fried Chicken. Thank you so much! read more

I always get great food and service here! The burnt ends are my favorite but I've never had a bad experience here!

Went here for my daughter's 26th birthday dinner (her choice definitely not mine) because she lives in this town. The restaurant was slightly busy nothing crazy when we walked in and were greeted and I informed them 3 adults 1 infant and we were escorted to are large booth. We were informed who are server was but a different server took are drink order. Are drinks arrived and we placed are order.. the server i guess knew my daughter and they were jibber jabbing back and forth and talking about the baby when my wife was trying to order so my wife had to repeat her order again to her, i ordered my dinner and the combination appetizer for the table, my daughter ordered her food (chicken fried chicken) but the server was still talking to her about her baby and possibly maybe wasn't paying attention because when are food came out part of my wife order was wrong and my daughter order was wrong because she got chicken fried steak instead of chicken fried chicken but my daughter said it was fine but my wife needed a part of hers fixed (a side dish). I asked if the had real sweet tea and she said yes so i got a sweet tea when I drank it it tasted like sugar water with a hint of tea i closed off the top of my straw and pulled my straw out to see the color of this so called sweet it and it was a very faint almost see through brown their sweet tea is not good... great value Walmart sweet tea is way better. As we were eating are server came over and started talking to my daughter... again they must know each other and said don't give your baby red dye 40 it makes kids go crazy or something like that.. i wasn't really listening because i was a little irritated with my drink, my daughter and wife meal being wrong and just thinking to myself that if this server would have been paying attention to are orders and not talking buddy buddy with my daughter and her baby conversation multiple times during are visit this might (probably not) have been better. My hot link dinner was ok nothing to write home about and probably wouldn't order again. My wife ordered brisket burnt ends dinner i never seen burnt ends that small. Nobody finished their dinners and they came home in to go boxes which will probably end up in the trash. The combination appetizer is all fried food and that didn't sit to well in the stomach if you know what I mean. My wife and I probably won't return didn't really want to go here in the first place but my daughter said it was good and she lives in this area so she'll probably return. If my wife and I do come back to this restaurant it will be because of my daughter wanting to come here and I will probably not eat or get something small like a baked potato. read more

Food was good and sidewinder fries and regular fries were great! Pulled pork was better than it looks too! Wouldn't mind coming back here sometime read more

Buzz's BBQ & Steakhouse - Chicken fried chicken and sidewinder fries - Barbeque Near Me - Nevada, Missouri

I've gone here multiple times this place is great. Their food is really good. The service is always awesome. They do have a down syndrome kid Which he is amazing and I'm not just saying that he is so helpful he works just as hard or harder than everybody else there the restaurant is super nice. Kind of gives that western Texas fill but it is super nice inside the atmosphere is always amazing. Fast paced with customer service. read more

The food was great and served hot. The waitress came by numerous times. We were greeted as we came in and she was very pleasant.

My wife and I were just passing through and thought barbecue sounded OK. Usually, I'm hesitant to stop for barbecue after living in Memphis for eight years, but I was incredibly surprised. They nailed a good dry rub with pull off the bone smoked meat, good cuts. Great ribs! Totally unexpected. Great barbecue experience. Wonderful sides and my wife got a giant potato that was enormous and fantastic.. read more

Anyone passing by Nevada, MO, on I-49 should make it a point to eat at this super BBQ place, BUT not only for BBQ. For the sake of brevity, let me list some of the 5-STAR choices our family has had here... Appetizers: Betty fries, breaded mushrooms & yum-yum onion rings. Also, a cup of their homemade chili. Huge sandwiches: Philly cheesesteak, prime rib, variety of specialty 1/2# burger choices with sidewinder fries From the pit: smoked pork ribs, smoked brisket, pulled pork and super burnt end plate Other excellent choices we've tried and loved: smokehouse burger or jalapeno burger, excellent catfish, chicken fried steak, any of their huge specialty stuffed baked potatoes...meals in themselves! read more

We always make sure on our trips to stop at Buzz's. Best BBQ ever and we always enjoy the friendliness of everyone! Always well worth the visit. read more

Dry brisket. Good BbQ sauce. Bottled ranch dressing. Fake butter. Dry bread Prime rib was actually pretty good tender , a little on the cool side. Baked potato big, well cooked, but no real butter, chives or anything fun to accessorize it. Stop serving fake ranch and whipped margarine. Nice clean restrooms! Nice young man greeted us, host looked like he has Downs very nice and doing a great job of host and all around making sure silverware wrapped and clean restrooms. Baked potato salad meh. Smoked cabbage bad choice Water was good Service ok, no offers of dessert. Not great. read more

As Kansas City residents we find ourselves making occasional visits to northwestern Arkansas for weekend getaways and to visit a family property in southern Missouri. We have struggled to find good good along I-49 during our trips. We followed a recommendation and tried Buzz's BBQ. It was exceptional and will be our new go-to stop on these trips. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich. Meat was very flavorful and not dry. She liked the beans as well. I had BBQ half chicken with fried okra. Everything on my plate was excellent. Okra was very crispy and good. The chicken crust was spicy and good. The meat was moist and very tasty. Service was quick and friendly. The price was as modest as the food was excellent. I encourage everyone making the I-49 run between Kansas City and the MO/AR line to forego the chains and enjoy this outstanding family owned business. read more

Can't beat Buzz's BBQ. Food is always good and service is great. Betty Baked is my favorite. read more

My family stopped there while passing through town on a Friday night. They were busy but only had a 10. min. wait. Our food took a little longer than my stomach wanted, but everything we ordered was worth the wait! Pork ribs were juicy and fall off the bone, brisket was delicious, and the fried catfish was the star of the table. Excellent supper and reasonable prices! read more

Right off the highway. Delicious BBQ, good service and unique menu items. We enjoyed the Betty potato with brisket, baked beans, cheese, sour cream and jalapeños. It's a meal in itself. Arrived quickly! Bottled beer only, none on tap. read more

I'm a bit torn here. Three stars might be a bit too generous for our experience. I'll start off by saying, they were crowded, so they have fans. Maybe we just ordered some of wrong things. The location, just off of the interstate, was super convenient for us. We started with the loaded fries!! Those fries were an easy five stars. The thick potato curls were perfectly cooked and topped with just the right amount of bacon and cheese. From there, it goes south. Maybe I shouldn't judge a BBQ place from a salad, but it wasn't good. Not even the fried chicken in it was good... bad like the chicken patties that I remember from the school lunch days. The greens were beyond shelf life. I picked and podded my way through, pushing a way the wilted greens and leaving a lot of the salad off to the side. My husband got the turkey lunch. The meat was just warm, and he wasn't a fan. He paid extra to get the corn bites and raved about them, but the order was a bit small, even if they were a regular side. We both left unsatisfied. I definitely wouldn't try again. read more

First time eating today. They were busy but service was still very prompt. I had the smoked chicken and beans. Great smoke flavor and very moist. I'll definitely have it again. read more

Ham OK, mashed potatoes OK, grilled chicken salad OK - best way to describe slaw was vinegar "slop". Uneditable! Water also tasted TERRIBLE

I had the chicken fried chicken dinner special and it was delicious. The smoked baked potato and smoked cabbage were very very good too. Service was fast and attentive. The sweet tea was very sweet for those who like it like that. The BBQ plates at other tables looked plentiful. I tried the BBQ sauce on the table and it was also very good. Will stop again. They have alcohol. I posted photos of the menu. Prices are comparable with other steak houses. read more

Nice friendly staff and the food was great. They definitely want to make you feel at home while you wait for your food. This was my 2nd time ever eating here and I highly recommend this place. read more

Done carryout twice. The first was a Betty Baked Potato. The chili was ok. The potato a bit small. The spicy BBQ and regular BBQ sauces were the highlight. The regular has a load of ginger in it giving it a unique and flavorful after bite. The second time I got the smokehouse burger. It was ok too. Juicy. But the menu says sidewinder fries and mine were plain old best choice frozen French fries from what I could tell. I will probably give them one more chance by doing actual BBQ like burnt ends and trying a different side. There are way too many BBQ joints to settle for "ok" BBQ. read more

Service: 5* absolutely. Friendly, welcoming, attentive and efficient. Couldn't ask for better. Facility: 3*. Seat cushions on the benches severely worn and patched together with plastic tape. It's clean, but could definitely use some TLC and updating. Food: 3*. The ribs were OUTSTANDING, great flavor, "fall-off-the-bone" tender, done just right. The burnt ends would have been great, except; they smothered it in their "just average" BBQ sauce. Therein lies the issue I have with Buzz's, there's only one sauce, a fairly sweet, semi-tangy, tomato based sauce that's fairly bland. They need to offer a range of sauces - as most BBQ places do. And their "burnt ends" need to just be kept hot in natural juices until they're served and let the customer choose the sauce. My wife had the brisket - it was dry and fairly tough, she added their sauce to the slices and said it didn't help much. Their BBQ beans were quite tasty, with bits of meat in them and a nice flavored sauce (probably their BBQ sauce, if I had to guess). The onion rings were standard pre-breaded commercial rings - probably from Costco or Sysco, etc. Nothing to write home about and they were a "premium" side for $1 extra. Would I go back, yes. BUT I'd probably take in my own choice of sauce, or JUST have the ribs - they were great. read more

Very disappointing all around. We started with the combo appetizer. The onion rings, mozzarella sticks and mushrooms all tasted like microwave and run. All of them were warm not hot with a cold center. My wife got the burnt ends, a little fatty, but looked like they cubed the brisket and called it burnt ends. The white cheese mac n cheese was in a hot bowl with cold food in the middle. Fries were room temperature. Now for my meal, If I am paying 16.50 for 5 slices of rubbery brisket, bbq beans and smoked cabbage, I should not get food the is reheated and room temperature. The containers were hot and the food was cold. We also ordered the rattlesnake fries, they were spiral cut french fries with no seasoning and cold. The sauce kind of tasted like a cross between hunts and great value. A little smoke and less seasoning. I have won awards with my sauce and am a member of the Kansas City BBQ society so I am very particular about sauces. Service was interesting, it was not until one cleaning crew heard me ask my wife who we have to ask for a refill of iced tea before our waitress reappeared. We knew after the 3rd time the waitress said she was going to bring napkins and they never showed that the experience was going to go off the rails. If you are used to good BBQ, I do not suggest it you will be disappointed From responses to other criticism, they have been doing bbq for 20 years, that just means they have been the only game in town and the locals do no know better. read more

Ok awesome place I will keep coming back. The service is great food is amazing and you get lots of food. The coke mix was perfect. You must come here it's worth the time if you are passing by it's next to flying j. read more

This is actually 2.5 stars and based on my food experience. Stopped in from out of town with coworkers. I should say, BBQ is usually not my first choice, but do have BBQ monthly at place in my town. I ordered a brisket sandwich with side winder fries. The meat to bun ratio was way off. I feel certain less than 1/4 lb. the brisket was rather dry the bun slightly toasted. I requested no sauce, because there's only one sauce choice....a rather sweet sauce. Just not my preference. The fries were more than ok, a few crispy pieces. I love brisket and in a sandwich, this wasn't a very good brisket sandwich I will say my coworkers enjoyed their burnt ends and pulled pork. Sauce is definitely a taste preference. Would have been nice to have a spicy option Service was more than ok If I return to the area, I will likely not here unless mob rules read more

We stopped in here on for lunch Friday, Oct 28, on a road trip. I had the turkey sandwich and my husband had the smoked chicken. Service was great, the food was hot, fresh and tasty. Will definitely stop in again if our travels take us this way. read more

I came here for a business lunch. For a small, underwhelming town, I was impressed with this diner. I ordered the beef burnt end platter with potato salad. It was pretty good. The diner seemed clean and the booth we sat at was clean. The server was polite. I tried their raspberry sweet tea, which was not the best. I'm from Texas, and we make our southern sweet teas with more sugar than is recommended by the FDA or any other food org (like liquid crack, not that I've ever tried that); so I wasn't thrilled with this diners level of sweetness. It was pretty quiet for lunch hour, which I loved. I would recommend this place. read more

We were there Midge mid July of 2021. The waiter was exceptionally nice he made all the food look very pleasing on our plate. He went above and beyond to cater to the children that was at our table he checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed he kept our glasses full. The food was amazing There was more than enough food if you leave this place hungry that is your own fault.. The price was very reasonable very reasonable next time I'm this way I'm this way I will be sure and stop in again yen I could not say enough about how awesome this place was. read more

It was okay But having flies all around you. The food was okay, hubby had ribs that were pretty good but a bit dry and bbq sauce on table was not full so we had to keep squirting away. My sandwich was a bit dry as well As I doused my sandwich in sauce as well showing us why the sauces on the tables were not full. One really can't help fly issues at this time of the year read more
