The food is good and I like the drive thru option. However, I can't stand BBQ place that charges for BBQ. Most people want to enjoy their BBQ with sauce, so it should be include in the price of the meal. Not at Dexter BB-Q. They believe it should be extra and that's if they give it to you at all. This will be the last time eat here. Make soup if you want to charge people for sauce.

Wonderful fast drive through.

Great stop with quick drive through. Wonderful BBQ sandwich on toast. Loved the slaw. Pulled over and ate in the parking lot.

Loaded baked potato drizzled with North Carolina Mustard Sauce

The first time I tried Dexter Bar B Que was in Dexter two years ago and I never forgot how good it was. This location in Poplar Bluff did not disappoint. The dining room was not packed but the drive thru had MANY cars in line. I got the loaded baked potato with pulled pork. The potato was perfectly baked and the pulled pork had a wonderful sweet and slight smokey flavor. I'm a fan of Carolina BBQ so I added the NC Mustard sauce and was in heaven. Service was very fast and the waitress was a sweetheart. I will be returning when I am back in PB or Dexter!!

Good BBQ nacho. Good catfish. Free ice cream after dinner. Only negative thing I noticed is they charge you drink price for water at &1.99.

See all

Great BBQ, great service and the rest room was clean (which is rare in Poplar Bluff establishments.) The Dexter BBQ sauce is the greatest.

The food is nothing special, mike and zacks is better. The service is crap and odd. I can honestly say this is a failing branch.

Great cheeseburger also. BBQ is good but needs more variety of sauces. Wish they had a spicy sauce.

This is our go-to for a good and fairly quick lunch when down in Poplar Bluff area. Service was…read moregreat today, quick and friendly which is always a big plus. I got the club and it was one of my favs off their menu so far. It was toasted and the cheese was perfectly melted-REALLY GOOD!! I just wish they had Diet Dr Pepper or Coke Zero but oh well I guess I shouldn't drink sodas anyways so not too big of a deal. The place is great inside, super clean and modern farmhouse vibes going on in here with home-made desserts that I have never tried.

This was the lunch spot with a surprisingly high number of reviews for a small city in MO compared…read moreto all the other restaurants and I don't think it's a real number. The place is nice and modern looking/loud with the noise traveling all over like a noisy bar. The menu is good with something for everyone and we had a burger and country fried steak and I can only review the country fried steak. The service was that southern US slow but ok. I ordered the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. The country fried steak was bigger than the average and hot from the fryer with a nice crispy crust. The steamed broccoli was slightly better than room temperature with a little crunch left in it and not total mush. The mashed potatoes were cold straight from the fridge for some reason like leftovers. My plate had chips on them that I would have thrown away in my kitchen. The water cup was a cheap plastic cup with a heavy a chlorinated taste in the water and not drinkable. Overall my lunch was disappointing for a restaurant with such a high number of reviews which I feel is fake compared to other restaurants in town.
