While traveling from Middle Tennessee to SW Missouri, Sikeston fell at about lunch break time. Because of Dexter's easy access from the highway we chose to stop. We were greeted warmly by several staff members. There was no line and the clerk at the counter was very helpful answering questions about the menu. Our order was taken, including special requests, and we chose a table. The dining room is a little tired and the building could be 50 years old or more. The A/C worked and the tables were clean. The order arrived in a very reasonable time. The order came out perfectly with all the requests granted. The meal was very good and enjoyable. Soft serve ice cream is a bonus. read more

You order at the counter, get your own drinks and find a table. Staff will bring the food out when it is ready. We tried asking questions, but were just told "I don't work in the kitchen, I just bring food out". Food was ok, but overall, this is not a place I feel the need to return to. read more

Food here tonight was great but the older gentleman who took our order and delivered our food was extremely rude! We wont be back, this is the second trip in 2 weeks and he is just rude! read more

Great place to eat if you love BBQ. Ribs are the best Service is great I would recommend this restaurant for family dinning. read more

We were traveling home to Indiana when we stopped in Sikeston looking for the Applebees that was advertised on the interstate sign. Didn't find them but decided to try out Dexter's and was not disappointed at all. I had the Brisket with fried okra and cole slaw, my husband had pulled pork, cole slaw and baked beans, all of the food we had was good! The brisket was good and pairing it with their vinegar sauce made it perfect! My husband enjoyed his plate of food and we both left satisfied along with 4 bottles of their vinegar bbq sauce. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be stopping by! read more

Employees are kind. The food is always good. You don't have to wonder if it's going to taste different. Its consistency good !

The turkey melt with provolone was wonderful. The service was quick and friendly We had a large group and lunch was served fast

Nice folks. Really good BBQ. Great atmosphere Would definitely recommend to stop here for good lunch read more

Order at the counter and fix your iwn drinks. Sit at any ioen table or booth. My wife & I split the 'Three-Meat Combo Plate;' with Briscuit, Ribs, and Turkey. It came with 2 sides, so we chose Potato Salad & Fried Okra - then added a Baked Potato for a few more $. With tea, our total was under $30 and we took a bit of meat home to our dog! The Ribs & Briscuit were excellent (super flavor even without the sauce), and my wife enjoyed the Turkey. Fried Okra was heavily breaded but dry and crispy! . Potato Salad was yellow (mustard - not mayo) just like we prefer! I piled beef inside and ate the entire Baked Potato - skin and all! Yumm! The Sweet Tea was cold & fresh; it tasted like fresh air on a warm summer day! Friendly staff diligently cleaned tables for the next wave. Well done, Dexter! read more

Excellent BBQ in Sikeston, MO! Service is quick and take out available. This is our go to place each time we visit Sikeston!!

Nice place. Stopped for quick lunch at 3pm, we placed our order at the counter right away. We got a pork sandwich with fried corn on the cob and the half chicken special with fries. All the meat was really good. Chicken was smoked nice, breast was a little dry but the sauces at the table were good for that. There was a soft serve machine near the seating areas, I assume it was free and self-serve so we got a bowl of it before leaving. Good food, place was clean, service was friendly and we got our food fast. 5/5 read more

Husband and I were traveling through on our way south. We found this restaurant by searching maps. It's a small restaurant with walk up ordering. The staff was friendly and quick. The food was good to very good, the sides were just as tasty. read more

No bad. Not great. Kind of middle of the road, bbq. Had the large rib plate with baked beans and potato salad. Ribs had a good flavor, but we're a little over cooked and dry. Kind of stringy. The baked beans are very basic porknbeans with a sweet bbq sauce and a little pepper. Very forgettable. The potato salad was pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way for this. But it wasn't aweful. read more

Very Good chopped beef sandwiches, great ribs Spicy Cajun fries and fresh Cole slaw and of course sweet tea . Well worth the visit

Me and my granddaughter stopped at this location on a recent trip. We got the 2 meat combo and we received more food than we could eat. The brisket and ribs were so good and the Cajun French Fries were seasoned perfectly and the breaded okra could have use a little bit of seasoning and the fried corn on the cob was good read more

Decent but a little tired, kijd of like the rest of the restaurants in this tiny town. It's worth trying once.

Turkey dry. Ribs dry. Both house sauces are not good. Service was the only thing positive.

Meat was hard from frying in the warmer and the bottom med had no meat. Potato salad and slaw came from a container. Sweet tea was the only thing good on this trip. They done the rib did-justice, only two stars because of the sweet tea and the free ice cream read more

This was my first time to visit Dexter Bar-B-Q, but I thought I would try it out based on other Yelp reviews. I ordered the 3-Meat Combo Meal with ribs, brisket, and turkey. It had 3 or 4 ribs, 4 slices of brisket, and a single slice of turkey. The turkey slice was very dry, but the ribs and the brisket were moist and flavorful with a nice rub on them. I had fried okra and coleslaw as my sides, which were serviceable, but not especially memorable. The people who took my order were very friendly and accommodating and I will remember that and will come back again on a future visit to Sikeston. read more

I didn't like their bbq sauce at all. The brisket was very dry and inedible. I had to ketchup on my turkey sandwich just to eat it. This is not a do over. read more

Great tasting bbq on Texas toast. The slaw was crisp and creamy and complemented the sandwich.

When I asked what they were known for bbq wise, I was told nachos. Got us worried. But I got the trio, Turkey, brisket, ribs. Ribs were fantastic, brisket was good, turkey way too dry. Definitely worth the stop. read more

My personal favorite is Wednesday! Smoked Chicken is wonderful, don't wait to long it sells out every time! Best BBQ you'll find everyday anywhere! Dine in is fantastic and staff is very friendly! Wonderful place to dine or have lunch. read more

Good price, great food.. we even ordered more ribs and quick service. Clean and nice atmosphere as well. Great find and nice alternative to the 'big draw' with the big wait down the street. We will return here again! read more

Found this small place while on business travel. Great bbq place! Good flavorful options and free ice cream

I pulled off of I-55 about 2 miles on way back from Memphis. Dexter's is a walk up counter and they bring it out to you. I had a rib plate with 5 bones, fries and slaw. The rub was heavily coating the ribs with a nice glaze. Not a lot of meat but it was tender. Enjoyed sampling the Louisiana and SE MO sauces on the meat and the KC sauce for fries. Free ice cream machine. read more

Dexter's is a great place. It has the convenience of a fast food restaurant sort of set up that, but that's where the similarity ends. The barbecue ribs are fantastic! The salads are large and plentiful! I was particularly taken by the free refills of the refreshingly icy beverages. For folks who are on a diet, what's really great is that you could take any of their barbecue meets and have them apply those meats to the top of the bed of lettuce and other salad elements, permitting you to stay on your diet, or at least imperfectly convince yourself of the same. If you ask for your dressing on the side, you will be rewarded by getting a hunungoe us bowl of it, which is really generous, in addition to being thoughtful. Be careful though, because those dressings are very tasty and it's easy to take a healthy meal and convert it to one that's totally unhealthy with the greatest of ease. The ambience is middle-of-the-road. The tables are wooden as are the chairs. The chairs do not have cushions, it might be less comfortable for those people who have a bad back or other anatomical limitations. The tables are wiped clean and had little residue or other concerns. I would rank the salads quite high it I would write the meets as being high as well. I wouldn't give it five stars because the food isn't as good as a high end place but appropriate for price. read more

Walking in you smell the smoke of the wood used to cook. i ordered the small rib order it was well cooked and at a good price. The rub is a bit salty. I really liked the baked beans, the claw slaw was uninspiring overall a 3.5 star meal. Best rib ever - I think not but I would come back. read more

Stopped here while in town for a baseball tournament. Since it was highly recommended, we were looking forward to trying it. Well, the food wasn't bad, it tasted okay. But we were VERY disappointed in the portion sizes for the price..we ordered to go & you could fit the meat packet in the palm of your hand!Maybe we caught them on a bad day... read more

After spending a full morning of sightseeing in Sikeston, we went to check out a different place for lunch. It was way too busy so I searched for a different place. Wow. The young lady at the counter was so nice to a couple of sightseers trying to learn how the restaurant work. The young man who brought our lunch was equally polite. The barbecue had a sweet taste I enjoyed the chunky cut mayonnaise slaw on the sandwich. Delightful experience. read more

I love dinning at dexter. The food is to die for. You want some if everything.Let's all make room for the bakedbeens...

I was very disappointed with the food and the amount of food. We went through the drive through and it was like our food was thrown together. The Sikeston restaurant was not even close to being as good as the Dexter, MO restaurant. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. If you want BBQ go to the Dexter, MO restaurant. read more

Dexter BBQ has been a favorite since I was a kid and still is! Great food and friendly staff.

Me and my friend both got the Pulled Pork Sandwich, the Cajun fries and pulled pork nachos. This is my first time eating here and I will definitely be back. Everyone was nice inside even the other customers. Only thing I can say is the fries need more taste to them. read more

2 rating for the following reasons: Your Bar BQ pulled pork is and has always been good and had a good taste this time....but I ordered a salad topped with polled pork to pick-up from the window from my car. I asked for Ranch Dressing on the side and also Bar B Q sauce on the side. After arriving home found that I only had 2 sides of ranch dressing and no Bar BQ sauce. Was very, very disappointed. I called the restaurant and expressed my disappointment. They said they were sorry. I poured the iceberg lettuce salad into a bowl along with the two small sides of dressing to try and toss it to cover as much as possible. After removing one small piece of wilted lettuce and tossing as much as possible, the salad was very dry. No matter how good your meat is, without sauce it was dry and disappointing. Also would like to add is the amount of Ranch dressing served with our order believed to be sufficient? read more

Used to love this place, classic problem with growth; loss of what makes them good to begin with. Oh and be sure and ask if they have bbq before you drive all the way there, because the idiots will tell you they're open.. even if they're out of bbq. read more
