    If you're doing Route 66 or even just passing Cuba Missouri you'll see signs for this place. I'm glad we did. We wanted something other than burgers and let me tell ya, this hit the spot. It's a cute little bbq joint where the theme matches the name of the place. I had the sampler platter and it was amazing. The meats were all tender and the baked beans were some of the best I've had. The Mac n cheese is the only thing that I would have preferred have a tad more flavor and cheesiness. Still good though. My daughter had an appetizer that had brisket and mashed potatoes. Amazing as well. Service was great. Our waitress was really nice and did a fantastic job as well! Prices were reasonable for today's environment. If you're hungry and in the area...stop in and check them out. You won't be disappointed!

    Every time we are headed out west we make a stop at Missouri Hick BBQ. Located on RT 66 it is steeped in history and Goodness. BBQ is juicy and tender. One can say you have died and gone to heaven after having a plate of their Barbeque. Tasty and delicious. Portion sizes are large so bring your appetite. Wait staff are warm and inviting.... waits can be long but well worth it

    Iconic!

    We saw the signs on the highway and decided to try Missouri-style BBQ on the famous Route 66. There were several cars in the parking lot which we took as a good sign, and it was. The ambiance is great, it is perfect for a casual group, family or couple. The decor is cozy country cabin with a lot to look at, from vintage gas pumps to an old bees nest. The hostess told us we could sit where we liked and we made our way to a back room where there was a fire blazing in the beautiful stone fireplace (which was great on a cold winter's day). Our server greeted us cheerfully and gave us ample time to look over the menu. When she came back to check on us, she was quick to make recommendations such as their creamy mac and cheese topped with bacon, the slow cooked baked beans, and the best German potato salad that I have ever had! We asked how big the portions were and she said it depended on how hungry we were and that she had seen people share. Unsure, we ordered two, two-meat plates with two sides each. She returned just a few minutes later with two large, sectioned dinner plates, overflowing with food! The Cherry-wood-smoked dry-rubbed ribs were amazing, the pulled brisket was very flavorful and the pulled pork had a beautiful smokiness as well. All of the meats, and the sides she had suggested, were very generously portioned and we definitely over-ate. For two adults I would definitely recommend sharing a plate. Overall it was a great experience, and a great change from the commercial chain restaurants so prevalent today.

    Really good bbq spot in n a real life small Missouri town. Stop in Cuba MO for a quick bit or full on dinner. An old southern setting with all wood and varnish tables warm and inviting. Even the restroom is an old style outhouse feel. Tables set up with a choice of five different style bbq sauces run the gamut from sweet mild to spicy sweet heat. Few frills and all thrills in the traditional sense, the menu is straightforward from pulled pork to brisket. Generous size portion's with chips, pickle and a side choice. I did an Ory's Special 50/50 brisket/pulled pork Sammy and loaded it with left bbq sauce excellent choice. My buddy knocked off s brisket dinner. The best part of the meal was the service as the two girls working on this Monday afternoon were a class act. Both super friendly warm and inviting to a coupla fish outta water city boys. Nothing makes a good meal great like great hospitality.

    The food was delicious, I found that the coleslaw was one of the best . Being a Texas boy , I'm not a fan of using sauce on my bbq but if I had to it means the actual meat had no flavor. Missouri hicks bbq can put down some good good. No sauce needed . But if I had to . Id say Smokey would be my pick . The service is great waitress are very in tune to the customers and very pretty I might add. Katlyn was my waitress. She was quick with my food. Took the time to make my night here enjoyable. The place has country vibe . It's a bbq place got to love it .. had to wait awhile but in the end it was worth the wait. Full happy and ready to hit the road. Till my next adventure.

    Low 3/5. I want to like this place more but the brisket is chopped and the turkey is sliced deli thin and is always dry. My ribs were inedible this time though last visit I liked them. My server was awesome and I'm sure if you hit this place at just the right time it can be pretty good for what it is, but there's no way this is award winning bbq as per the billboards.

    Food was mediocre at best. I got the two meat combo; St Louis Ribs and Brisket with Cole slaw and Mac n cheese as sides. Ribs were tender but lacked smoked flavor or seasoning. Brisket came chopped up and was dry even though I asked for it moist. If you're decent at smoking meats you'll have a better product a home. Coleslaw was plain but could use some kind of seasoning (maybe put some celery salt and pepper in there?) Mac n cheese good but kinda luke warm when served. Server was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere felt more like a cabin in the woods than a BBQ joint. Place was clean.

    Very good Barbecue! Great decorations! Friendly service! Loved the sweet and spicy sauce with my pulled pork! Green beans were yummy!

The concept is genuinely fun: you sit down and feel like you've boarded a vintage rail car, complete with that "on the way to somewhere better" energy. Unfortunately, the illusion peaks a bit earlier than the appetizers. After seeing glowing Yelp reviews, we arrived expecting small-town culinary magic. What we got felt more like Amtrak dining car, but the train is delayed and the kitchen is understaffed. Service was pleasant--no complaints there--just moving at the leisurely pace of a scenic rail tour through the Midwest. The food itself lands firmly in the "fine, technically edible" category, which is not what you hope for when the internet has promised greatness. The highly praised wings arrived absolutely committed to their sauce--gloppy enough that you start wondering if the chicken was merely an accessory. A light brushing and sauce served on the side would have kept things from turning into an edible slip-and-slide. The French onion soup also took a creative detour from tradition. Swiss cheese instead of gruyère sets the tone, and from there it becomes less "soup" and more "onion-forward gravy experiment." After a couple bites, the rest felt like a suggestion rather than an obligation. The roast beef sandwich leaned heavily into bread architecture while treating the roast beef like an optional insert. The meat itself had a distinctly packaged deli-cold-cut energy--efficient, but not exactly artisanal. Even the house salad managed to surprise, featuring tiny cheese pellets that suggest innovation in texture design, if not necessarily in enjoyment. And then there's the atmosphere note: smoky in a general sense, just not in the dining room--so you get ambiance without full immersion. The only real head-scratcher, though, is the level of restriction around what guests can bring in--at one point making you feel like your own onions might be considered contraband. It's a rare dining experience where you leave thinking, "I wasn't allowed to improve my meal, and somehow I still considered it." In the end, if this represents top-tier dining in Cuba, Missouri, then Michelin inspectors might want to keep the train rolling straight through without stopping. It's not a disaster--just a very enthusiastic theme restaurant where the theme outruns the kitchen by a few stations.

Caitlyn took our order and went to 3 computers ... needless to say our order came after 2 tables came in after us..had to ask twice for salads. I did ask for fresh coffee she did make that for me. A big plus for me. She took my credit card..... no clue where she went with it... had to ask the "working waitress"! where she took my card ? Finally got my fresh coffee... waited another 10 mins. For a creamer... asked her 3 times. It was the longest 1 1/2 hour dinner in my life. NEVER NEVRR GOT THE CREAMER ! She wanted to tell me about going to the basement for creamer !!!!!! I was done .... Told my hubby ......... F this ... and I walked out did not take the coffee I paid $3.25 for. Well my hubby did grab it.. let me tell u this chick followed my husband out the door... I was soooo done. It was about to be a street fight. Then I did notice Jerry the owner was talking with her... outside the door, to follow customers out of a restaurant is insane... I will say I did remove her $8 tip . My tips I give to individuals you earn them they are not free in my book of service. This place has absolutely great smoked food very friendly owner and most of his servers are worth the time and $$$$. Jerry does practice great business... he deserves 5 stars....

The beers are great--especially the IPAs, wheats and stouts. The food is very good as well--my favorite is the jalapeño Mac and cheese bite appetizer but the burgers, salads and pizza are also good. I like to sit at the bar and the bartender that is there most of the time is awesome--so helpful, friendly and efficient. However, the service yesterday was very lacking. We counted 11 staff members just standing around and talking to each other while totally ignoring us. Three were at the end of the bar and we sat there for about 5-10 minutes before the bartender came out from the kitchen and gave us a menu. We were the only ones sitting at the bar and it would have been nice if one of those three employees had told us that the bartender would be coming out soon or at least give us a menu. The bartender was very good though--quite friendly and helpful--she gave us several samples of beer and food recommendations. We ordered the bites and a mushroom Swiss burger which came out exceedingly fast and both were very good. We had several Giddy Goats which were super tasty and cold...my boyfriend isn't a huge fan of stouts but he loved this one! We checked out the store on our way out and my boyfriend decided to buy a six-pack to go. He went back to the bar, holding his wallet out to pay but all the employees just ignored him for several minutes so he got tired of waiting and left without buying it. We don't understand why there were so many employees milling around doing nothing and ignoring patrons? Are the employees not taught to cover various tasks? Even so, they should be aware of the customers' needs and find the employee responsible for that task. I could understand if it was super busy but it was a Sunday afternoon and the place was nearly empty . I love this place and will continue to be a regular customer but hope for much better service next time!

The ribs were huge, and now I've got two in the fridge for tomorrow because three were more than enough. Coleslaw is as close to perfect as it can get. Sweet with a hint of vinegar tang. The beans are sweet, with a generous helping of rib meat. Two sides of these would be a meal unto themselves. The only "complaint" I had was it could have stood a slice of white bread, just for mopping it all up so as to not miss a drop. But that's not really a complaint at all.
