Only table in the place, everyone else had checked out and was leaving they took our order quickly, 2 brisket sandwiches after 20 mins of our waitress not coming back to the table, we checked on our order at the front and were told it would be right out. 5 minutes later the manager came to tell us there had been a "mix-up" and our ticket was never put in. She offered us each a free dessert but we decided to leave, and as we left she told the kitchen to "not make it" So it wasn't even being made 25 mins after being ordered. Hopefully it's delicious Half an hour for a chopped brisket sandwich isn't worthwhile read more

It's ok. If you are a BBQ lover whose looking for the best you may want to keep driving. We try places everywhere we visit and this is not great. read more

This place is one of the best kept secrets around. Everything is smoked the day of. I have been there a couple of times and was blown away both times. The smoked wings appetizer is to die for. The best smoked pork steak I have ever put in my face. Service is great. The place looks and feels clean. Not a bar atmosphere. Just good smoked meats and hearty sides. On my top 10 list for sure. read more

HalfSauced Barbeque - 24oz smoked Pork Steak -that I couldn't finish! - Barbeque Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

I guess you can say this BBQ is decent. Some dishes shine compared to others. I had the Burnt Ends and Onion Rings. Plenty to eat and very tasty! I had other dishes but wasn't really impressed. Wings are good to... Brisket, Pulled Pork satisfying but standard fare. read more

Terrible service. Food subpar. Environmental not the best. Hostess lacked customer service & not a bit personal

We're new to the area and were looking for a local spot to have lunch. This was recommended on Yelp and ended up being an amazing choice! Food was beyond delicious and wait staff was nice and friendly. We will definitely be coming back here again. The wings, burnt ends sandwich and spoon bread were extra yummy! read more

We have gotten carry out/drive thru from here twice in the past few months; both times were very good! First time we decided to get the BBQ Sampler Platter. All the meats were delicious! Very well smoked and you can tell it was all made with love! For our second go around, we decided to keep it a little light and just got a 2meat BBQ Plate with BRISKET (it was a little dry, but it was also the end of the night, so that could be a factor), and BURNT ENDS (absolutely delicious, as always!). For our sides, my girlfriend got POTATO SALAD and she seemed to enjoy it. I chose french fries and it was a huge portion! They were a little soggy but that's probably do to the fact of the 5minutes car ride home. Overall, great BBQ! Best I have had at the Lake! The staff is super polite, helpful and professional! We will be back!! read more

Service was very attentive and warm. Atmosphere classic. The food was mixed. The creamy coleslaw and bbq chicken, spare ribs were spot on. The beans were too smoky for me, but my bff loved them. The brisket was ok, but not as tender as I hoped for. The sauces delightful. I will definitely be back! read more

Good food even though it was utterly deserted at 5:30. We were worried! But we did like the food (burnt ends and pulled pork). Good choice of sauces. read more

Good as I remembered!! Moist brisket, burnt ends and really good home fries! Add iced tea for the win!

Very good BBQ. Couldn't eat all of it. They had great apple pie for dessert also. Highly recommend the pulled pork.

I ordered the baby back ribs, potato salad and spoon bread (amazing). My husband ordered the burnt ends sandwich with. Ready cole slaw and fries and he was in heaven.

HalfSauced Barbeque - Baby back ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

I was not expecting such great food to come from such a small little place. I drove past this place for years and never gave it a chance. But I am so glad my husband and I tried it! We live about an hour away, we've been here twice now, and both times were great. He loves their ribs, they literally fall right off the bone. I am a huge fan of their brisket, one of the best I've had. Their dishes are portions are HUGE and everything is so reasonably priced too. Great meal for a great price. I highly recommend it if you love BBQ! read more

Spotted in for lunch today. Was quickly greeted and seated by the very friendly staff. I asked my server for recommendations and she suggested the burnt ends and potato salad. I got both and very glad I did. Food came very quickly. The potato salad is awesome, as most places potato salad is bland to me. The burnt end sandwich had a good portion of meat, a little bit of sauce with some raw onion and pickles on the side. The bun was super fresh and soft. The waitress also brought a four pack of sauces: sweet, spicy, mustard based, and ketchup. I tried a little of the sweet and the spicy. Can't tell you which one I liked better as they both have their merits. Overall a great place to spot in for a bit. read more

The BEST. BARBECUE. AT. THE. LAKE. The end. The food is DELICIOUS. I wouldn't miss a chance to come here! It can be tricky to find, but well worth it. The place is quite small so I imagine it gets pretty full. They have extra sauces at the tables that are very delicious. Staff is super kind and helpful with the menu. Food is always so fresh and made quickly. read more

HalfSauced Barbeque - Brisket Sandwich with cheese fries - Barbeque Near Me - Osage Beach, Missouri

Pit beans ... oh man ... pit beans !!! They are phenomenal! I don't know what kind of magical drug the chef puts in this... but mann... I'd come back just for the pit beans. Okay enough about the beans. I had pulled pork, beef brisket and some baby back ribs. All main dishes were worth every penny - I that the ribs were a little too dry, but i understand that it ain't easy to control the moisture in all your BBQs. But all that doesn't matter... because of the pit beans !!! Get pit beans as your side menu, if not for all your side menus ! read more

Came in with a big group of family (10 of us) and they were very accommodating. There was hardly a wait for a table. All I have to say is WOW - this place is delicious! I got a half-order of the nachos with pulled pork and it was the best barbecue I've had in a long time. I also got a side of the pit beans, which were incredible. My husband got the burnt ends sandwich, which was also very good. I'm already craving a return trip. read more

Started off with cheese fries and onion rings. Onion rings were perfectly breaded and an awesome horseradish comeback sauce. Went with brisket with a side of pit beans and green beans. Pit beans were a little too Smokey for my liking. The brisket itself was great. It was moist and had a lot of flavor. To top things off, had a piece of chocolate pie and coconut creme pie. Both were very delicious. Only thing negative I can say was they were late brining out my fiancé's meal well after we were halfway through our meals. Service was great, and staff made up for it by being helpful with other teammates. read more

I really wanted to give a good review from what we read from other people but we were not happy. I originally had it at 3 stars but my son convinced me to put 2. When we first pulled up we were not sure if they were open because not many cars were in the parking lot and the open sign was not on. It was 6:30pm or so. I've been to many BBQ places around the country and this one was just sub par. Joe's in KC is my favorite. Couple things, they were out of grilled chicken breast. There was no chicken strip basket that included fires other than the kids menu. We had to order separate. All of the items came in a red basket which I've never seen at a good BBQ place. Most come on a tray. I think our sever was new. She was very overwhelmed with 3 tables. The other server had 2 tables and they couldn't handle it. They even made a comment how they needed more help. The one sever asked the other for a salad with ranch and she replied I can't help you. When our food came out the meat was just ok. The pulled pork was the best. I had to ask for the sauces. The sweet sauce was very good. My wife and I ordered the baked beans for our side and they were so smokey flavored we couldn't eat more than a bite. If you like inhaling campfire smoke on purpose then you might like them. When I asked the server if the beans were always that smokey, she said "I don't know, I've never had them". ‍ I thought for sure she was going to ask if we wanted something different but she did not. All of our water glasses were empty and I had to ask her while she was walking by if we could get more water. Then she was doing other things and never came back. 10 minutes later I had to go to the front register to ask for more water. While I was at the front I mentioned to the other server about the beans and she replied "I have nothing to do with the beans, that's her (and pointed back to the cook in the kitchen). I'm guessing the lady she pointed too was also the manager because when I told her, she then asked if we wanted a different side. I said we are done eating now and thought for sure she would give a partial credit but did not even offer. read more

This was our first visit, I've been craving BBQ for days so we decided to try a different place this time. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and kept our drinks filled. Their bbq sauce descriptions in their menu were spot on. Sweet and spicy was our favorite. I choose the two meat combo, The pulled pork was amazing, however the brisket was nothing special. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything to write home about. My husband had the pork steak, unfortunately it was over cooked and a little chewy but the flavor was different good. I would definitely recommend that you give them a try, if for nothing else but the sauce. read more

Food and services were very good for 3 of us. Ambiance okay. Pork steak was thick enough for two. Would go back when in the area.

A very good example of homemade Missouri BBQ. The staff was also very good and the prices more than fair. You'll love it! read more

Always great bbq. Service is the best I have encountered at the Lake. I always order some wings and a loaded potato with pulled pork. Homeade pies round out a great dining experience. read more

We purchased meat to go - ham, pork, and chicken so we could make sandwiches at a rental cabin later. The service was great and the quality of the meat was EXCELLENT. The sauce was delicious. We highly recommend. The price was very reasonable. read more

One word- PERFECTION. I'm not big on BBQ but my husband is and we both LOVVEEDD it. He got the burnt ends and said they were the best he's ever had. We had the wings and they were so tender, they melted in your mouth and had the perfect flavor. My kids were all able to enjoy them and so did the adults I honestly was blown away with everything we had. The pulled pork soooo sooo good and all of the sauces were amazing Seriously, there was nothing that we had that we even thought was ok. We were blown away with it all. Oh, and if you go here, be sure to order the beans and the Cole slaw because YUMMMYYYY. Thank you so much to Crystal who suggested it all and was so very sweet and made me feel at home. We live an hour and a half away and would definitely drive here just to eat this food. Ok, just do yourself a favor and EAT HERE ASAP!! Get the mustard sauce and the spicy BBQ- just get it all, you won't be disappointed. The only suggestion I would have would be to get some jalepenos to offer for your nachos. Best BBQ EVER read more

Portions were HUGE, like big enough that some guys took doggy-bags. Service was friendly and efficient. I had the burnt ends sandwich and fries. Maybe not the smokiest of BBQ meats I've had but pretty darn delicious. The sandwich was so big that I resorted to eating it with a fork. Beer menu is rather lacking. Typical Bud, Bud Light, and Coors products. Then again it is Missouri, so nevermind. Oh, I almost forgot... The beans were unreal. So good. read more

This is one of our frequent restaurants to eat at with easy access, great food and great service! If you haven't tried it yet you should! I love the pork steak, chicken wings, pulled pork and ribs so far! They have a good variety of sides also, something for every appetite! I love that the restaurant has it's own charm and a family feeling and not hard and modern like so many other places! read more

This place wasnt on my list because we were going to visit the wobbly boots instead but yelp recommended it and it had good reviews so we came. Let me first say that my husband doesn't usually eat bbq out. He does his own bbq so when we eat it out we are typically disappointed. There is probably nothing worse than biting into a sandwich and getting a huge piece of fat and we had that experience at a lot of other bbq joints. I ordered the bbq nachos full order with pulled pork and my husband had the two meat dinner of burnt ends and pulled pork with baked beans and onion rings. My bbq nachos were huge! For $10, it was a much bigger portion than I expected. I used the sweet and spicy bbq sauce on the table and both were very good. The cheese was a cheddar not a typical Mexican restaurant nacho cheese but it went perfectly with the pork. The pork was amazing and I found no fat. My husband said the burnt ends were so good and he was impressed because he knows how much time it takes to cook those. His baked beans were very good and had the three bean medly in them along with some meat. His onion rings were just ok. Maybe too much batter. My husband said he didn't think he could do better and honestly that is saying a lot! I would definitely recommend this place and we wished we had eaten here again instead of another place while we were visiting. We will be back! read more

The meat was so-so. The sauces and portions were okay. We didn't eat inside, so I can't review that. I prefer the bbq down the street.

My experience was Exceptional!! The Food was Delicious and our Waitress was the BEST !!!

Thought the food and service were great. Our waitress was very friendly and has a great sense of humor. We went for lunch, on a Sunday, so it wasn't particularly packed, but there several other patrons. We split the Sampler Platter, which was way too much food for even two people. Ended up taking half of it home and sharing it with the pup, who also enjoyed it! read more

The food is fantastic. We had Beef Brisket, Smoked Chicken, Smoked Turkey, burnt ends, cheesy fries. fries. house salads, cheesy fries, sweet tea, Fitz Cream soda, and lemonade. We all enjoyed our meals. The cream soda was the best I ever had. The burnt ends were delicious along with the juicy turkey breast. I also had the cheesy fries with sour cream and that was so yummy, too. I will definitely go here again! I highly recommend it! And my family enjoyed it, too! read more

Service was amazing! Dakota was very friendly and helpful to my family and I. The brisket was very flavorful & smoky. My favorite sauce was the spicy bbq. The smoked sausage was delicious and not too greasy. I'm not much of a pulled pork type of person, but it was still good, could be a bit juicier... but nonetheless the overall plate was delicious. We ordered the combo platter which fed enough for 3 ppl. I highly recommend the potato salad & creamy cole slaw! We tasted the beans, which were also very good! Overall, i would come back again! I'm a Texan girl visiting MO & this tasted just like good ol' texas bbq without all the grease :) read more
