D. Rowe's never disappoints! The food is excellent every time, and I always feel like my money is well spent. The quality, flavor, and overall experience keep me coming back. I highly recommend the brisket--it's absolutely delicious and definitely worth trying. If you haven't been to D. Rowe's yet, you're missing out! read more

It cannot go without saying, the place was packed at 2pm on a Saturday in August. Locals must love it. I'm new to the neighborhood and have not decided if I can be a regular. The Menu is packed full of salivating descriptions. We will be back to try other items, despite my disappointment in the burger. My daughter loves the pulled pork sandwich on the gluten-free bun, and my wife enjoyed her chicken bacon club sandwich. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with onion rings. I find if a restaurant can get a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings right they're worth a second go. I read in the description of this restaurant that they have generous portions, I order onion rings at five onion rings, that's not generous in my book. The onion rings were greasy and clearly fried in the same oil that fish is fried in. My wife and I had completely opposite experiences with the bun, she said hers was light and fresh. Mine was cold and stale. The burger tasted as if it was a hard pressed frozen patty that have been microwaved. I'm sure it wasn't microwaved. It just had that dense bland flavor in texture. The environment was definitely family friendly, and our server "Emma" was very sweet. She was not overbearing, nor was she absent. Like I said, we will be back, but I won't order the burger and onion rings ever again. read more

A coworker recommended D. Rowe's in Columbia, MO, so I decided to check it out for lunch on a Tuesday. It's a little hidden away, but honestly, if you have your windows down, just follow the smell of smoked BBQ and you'll find it. As soon as I walked in, the smoky aroma hit me in the best way possible. It immediately made me want something off the smoker, even though I was only planning on a lighter lunch. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Grace, who was friendly, attentive, and quick to bring over a menu and get my drink started. Since it was my first visit and I wasn't overly hungry, I asked Grace what she recommended. She suggested the smoked wings, so I went with those. They came out pretty quickly, and before long I had a dozen golden-brown smoked wings in front of me. They were excellent. The wings had great smoky flavor, were cooked perfectly, and weren't dried out like smoked wings sometimes can be. The portion was generous, too. I only made it through six and saved the rest for dinner, which was a nice bonus. Overall, D. Rowe's made a great first impression. Good food, friendly service, and that amazing BBQ smell from the moment you walk in. I'll definitely be back. read more

I was not blown away at all with the food here. The wings were good but nothing crazy, not a lot of flavor past being a salty smoked wing. The burger was very dry and hard to eat. The mushrooms were okay. Old fashioned and espresso martini were good but very expensive. Overall just not a fantastic experience. Took some time for us to finally pay our bill but other than that the service was good. Was pretty packed and it is a bbq leaning bar and grill vibe. read more

I would give 5 stars; however, their famous wings are shrinking. They used to be large and meaty but now are so small that they are almost nothing but bone and skin. Cmon D.Rowes, I dont care if you raise the price (again). I just want your big meaty wings back. read more

Stopped in on our way back to STL from KC. What a great choice! Elevated sports bar with excellent smoked wings (gluten free!). I had the salmon which was tender & moist with a great lemon pepper seasoning. Becky had the teriyaki steak kabobs which arrived sizzling and cooked to the perfect temp. Service was excellent as well. Recommend!! read more

Ordered the steak came out medium rare just like I liked, but chewy tasteless steak I've ever had Had to be the lowest grade beef they could find Manager knew it did nothing about it. You could tell it was nasty. There was two bites taken, and both were spit out on the plate. Won't be back read more

Went in for dinner. They were busy but we were seated promptly and courteously. Our server Emery A immediately came to the table asked if we had a drink order at had any questions. We ordered the portobello strips appetizer. Very good. We ordered the Pasta Con Broccoli with Chicken. A Burger with a side of Sweet Potato Fries and onion Rings The BBQ Platter. Everything came out quickly, hot and fresh. The food was well prepared and presented nicely. Emery did an excellent job of checking on us and making sure we had an enjoyable dinner, right down to the To Go boxes and a bag. Well done. I will totally recommend you give them a try. read more

I found myself in Columbia, Missouri and what I discovery. D. Rowe's is amazing. We knew when we pulled up and the lot was full that this is the place!! We started with some appetizers-portobello fries and smoked wings. The wings were some of the best I've ever had. Subtle smoky flavor and cooked perfectly. Fall off the bone. I've never had portobello fries (sliced mushrooms with a light batter fry). Addy C is an amazing server that recommended the best entrees (KC Strip and Ribeye). This is more than a great sports bar. The atmosphere and food are beyond words. If you're in the area, you absolutely would love the food and experience. read more

Stopped in for dinner and it was busy as usual. I am always happy to see how clean the restaurant looks. We both ordered the brisket sandwich and were not disappointed. The brisket was nice and smokey, but also very tender and juicy. This is consistently the best brisket I have had. Always good. The sides were nice and hot and tasty also. Thanks everyone at D. Rowe's for another great meal. Even when busy the staff is so nice. read more

Ordered fish and Chips. The worst I have ever had. Fish not cooked properly (raw on inside), chips tasted like they have sitting around for days and coleslaw was tasteless and runny. Will not go back here again. read more

This review is for the smoked wings. Get them naked with sauce on the side. You won't regret it! Dine in or carry-out...doesn't matter. They are great anywhere you eat them. Your veggie side can eat the carrots and celery sticks that come with it. read more

Place was hopping before the MU game! Food and service were both great. We had the smoked wings, brisket sandwich and portabella fries, all taste wonderful! Logboat on tap! Plan to go back! read more

Great selection of food and everything tastes amazing. Was in Columbia for 3 years and this was by far me and my wife's favorite go to for eating out. If you're not sure what to get, can never go wrong with the Texas Chicken. read more

We have a family with very different preferences in food and D. Rowe's had something for everyone! We started off with the nachos + chicken and portobello mushroom fries - the mushroom fries were a pass, but the nachos + chicken were a major hit. Every chip had something on it and did we absolutely fill up on appetizers? 100%. But no regrets there. We ordered brisket sandwich (yum), rotisserie chicken (meat was tad bit dry, nothing a little bbq sauce can't fix, skin was crispy how I liked it), Cajun catfish (a little heavy on the salt, otherwise delish). For sides, definitely get the waffle fries which were super crispy. Service was amazing, our waiter was cracking jokes with us and made sure baby was entertained during our meal with some crackers. After our meal we were gonna literally roll out of the restaurant, they gave us soft-baked chocolate chip cookies for dessert (which they kindly packed up for us to go). We would def come back again whenever we're back in Columbia. read more

Best steak sandwich in COMO by far. The servers are outstanding. The ambiance is inviting.

Excellent food and consistent quality. I have been here several times and it has always been solid. Hannah is a great server who pays attention and keeps everything moving. read more

Been here multiple times! The atmosphere is always great, especially if you're an MU fan. Service was excellent, thanks Luke! Food is good. I had the fish and chips tonight, not my favorite thing i have had there but it worked. The portabella mushrooms are amazing as an appetizer(1st time to have them)! Wings are maybe best in Columbia. Prices are fair and great place to spend some time with friends and relax and have a good meal. read more

This place is solid!!! Was in town for a baseball tourney and the team absolutely loved it! Great service, very accommodating and great atmosphere. A bit hard to find as signage isn't fantastic and the location is in a professional office building...but once you walk in, totally transformed to a neighborhood bar. Highly recommend the wings...great smoky flavor, wife loved them (and she isn't even a wing person!) The French Dip is HUGE! A definite meal you can split with your bride. The brisket, while very good...cut a little thick for my liking, but great flavor and piled high. Cold beers on tap. Don't walk to this place, run and get there early...it gets busy (so evidently the locals feel the same as I do!). Thanks Yelp for once again taking me to a great place!! read more

We came here for a week night dinner and requested seating on the patio (for our friend's dog). This was one of the few places we found on a quick Yelp search that allow dogs on the patio. We were seated right away, but the waiter took probably 15-20 min to come by. Someone came by to apologize (maybe the manager), since he forgot to let the servers know we were seated out on the patio. The menu had lots of options, but we went with an appetizer and shared an entree. - Potato skins (4.5/5): YUM!! These were surprisingly very tasty! I was expecting basic potato skins, but these were loaded with so many toppings, and we added pulled pork. The crispness was perfect - BBQ feast (4/5): so much food, perfect to share! It came with pulled pork, andouille sausage, brisket, ribs. All were cooked well, the ribs literally fell off the bone. Pulled pork was flavorful. The BBQ sauce was pretty sweet, I prefer it to be more spicy though - Baked potato (4.5/5): it was HUGE! We got all the toppings, and it was perfect! - Waffle fries (4/5): these are classic waffle fries. Love how some were crispy, and not too salty. Overall, great food! Just the minor issue with service, but we understand things happen! We definitely recommend this spot! read more

Always great service. I am a regular who recommends the BBQ Feast, the Kabobs and the wings are amazing!

Great portions and service! I visit every time I go to Columbia. Not a bad option on the menu.

Nice venue in Columbia for dinner/drinks. We used the private room for a gathering. Food is good, service was good even though it was a busy Friday night. Fun vibe with sports memorabilia and TVs. read more

D. Rowe's Restaurant & Bar - Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, Onion Rings - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

After a long day driving, stopped in to D. Rowe's for an early dinner. Sat at the bar and ordered a beer and the brisket sandwich. Food arrived quickly and was hot. I would recommend the onion rings. However, a few minutes later the day bartender told me it was shift change and the 2 oncoming bartenders would take good care of me. The food was good, although the brisket was a tad dry. My beer glass was empty and I waited for a bartender to come over and ask how my meal was and if I needed another beer. Nothing. Not even eye contact. Keep in mind this is 4:15 on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't busy. Also, I had 2 people that were obviously regulars seated next to me that the new bartenders frequented, but I couldn't even get a glance. After I was done with everything, the original bartender came back out and asked if I needed anything. I told her I'd have loved another beer, but I was done eating at that point. To be fair, she offered to give me another beer, but I declined. Food was above average, unfortunately the service was poor...even when you're sitting directly in front of the bartenders. I won't return, hope your experience is better. read more

I enjoyed the food. The portobello mushroom fries were delicious. The server, a man (former marine) was kind and made our lunch enjoyable.

Nice restaurant, good food. We ordered all of the appetizers and each had a variety of lunch options. We all left full and satisfied. The service is always great! Had a lunch party of 11 and the waitress was extremely attentive. Walk out smelling like I attended a BBQ. read more

Always great food and service. Their portions are large so we usually come home with leftovers. Their takeout service is super efficient and the staff is always friendly. read more
