Investors: buy this distressed business and fix it. Serve beer and make a decent spicy BBQ sauce. Simplify the menu. Keep the servers. It was the day before Thanksgiving and it was a sunny day, so a short road trip was in order and this was the destination. I hadn't been to dear old Excelsior Springs in quite some time, so I was game. Although the tiny former train station is just another nondescript red brick building on the outside, the spacious inside has wonderful old-timey vibes, right down to the waitress in perfect 1950s drag makeup. We arrived around 2pm. It wasn't empty, so that was something. The first sign of trouble was the long menu with a lot of non-barbecue items for such a small place, including fried catfish and a fried chicken sandwich. I discounted this because my mother had been excited about the fried mushrooms. The second sign was that my parents only ordered the long ribs, even though they like brisket. Note: order what the experienced order. The ribs were fine--not too dry and falling off the bone, with a mellow smoke flavor. But it's hard to mess up ribs. My burnt ends were overcooked except for a few pieces, and a couple pieces were actually carbonized rather than caramelized. A travesty in the region responsible for the delicacy! The brisket was as others have described: dry, thinly-sliced. Decent but not exceptional flavor. Certainly not the tender, moist, barbecue brisket I was hoping for. I regretted eating any of what I ordered--it gave me a terrible stomach ache into the next day, despite skipping dinner and drinking a lot of hot mint tea. Rancid oil used for frying? Or just tough meat? Whatever, I learned my lesson! As for the rest: Fried (sliced) mushrooms -- fine, not over-salted, served with a light ranch sauce in a squeeze bottle. Easily enough for four people. Beans were sweet with some bits of pork in them. Possibly out of can. Cole slaw was extremely sweet and finely chopped, almost like a while salsa. Potato salad was good but nothing special.

We decided to go try it based on several reviews, and we were not what I would call anywhere near impressed. We had the tenderloin and fries and the catfish and fries, the highlight was most definitely the tenderloin, but I would not call it spectacular. The breading, size, tenderness, flavor, were all good, but not what I would call exceptional. The evening we were there the fries had no texture, and minimal flavor. The catfish nuggets were sadly among the worst I've ever had. Judging by the multiple reviews, I have seen that say that this is not the norm, I do plan to go back and try it again! I do truly hope that it lives up to the expectation that I have from the reviews I read.

It is a bar & grill setting, nothing fancy, but great food, slightly above average costs, but deliciously worth every penny. The staff is great, warm & courteous.

I did go in to order and I must admit the service was fast and extremely friendly. I ordered the Louisiana rub wings and the hickory smoke and barbecue wings they were both very good.
