Guess they have changed how they make them, like forgetting to put much meat on there. If you are wanting lots of beans, some cheese and bbq sauce and chips then these are the nachos for you!!

Dry rub and smoked to perfection without being overly smoky. I didn't even bother with any of the four varieties of BBQ sauce on the table. The German potato salad was served warm and had a hint of vinegar that complimented the ribs perfectly. The baked beans were thick and slightly smoky with bits of brisket mixed in.

The restaurant has a hillbilly vibe and specializes in what can best be described as Ozark-style Bbq. Like many places in Missouri and Arkansas, bbq and catfish are often featured in the same restaurant and both are often delicious . Not here, I made the mistake of ordering the Friday catfish special and it was one of the sorriest catfish dinners I've ever had. The fish was rubbery and very salty and appeared to be a foreign import. Terrible! The saving grace here was the pleasant service from the saucy young lady who attended me and a nice menu of beers and desserts, many of which sell out early.

The wings were also delicious. We got a 12 piece with two sauces: Nashville hot and hot honey. Blue cheese sauce seems house made with real blue cheese! Next time we want to try the Burn your Face off wing sauce. The restaurant was clean and bright. Only gripe would be the ladies room had half the lights working and was a bit dark. The staff was friendly. Wait staff were quick to refill drinks and checked in on needs. Food was hot, flavorful, and a range of options. Our apps and pizza arrived quickly even though the place was fairly crowded. We are already planning our next trip because we want to try more.

The food was good, I had the cheesesteak, but all I got on the sandwich was the meat, a very small amount of cheese and no mushrooms.

Cute place. Recently named by Rural Missouri newsletter, the best BBQ in Missouri. The service…read more from Amber was excellent. I had a small rib/1/2 pork steak combo with onion rings (superb) and baked beans (bland) Beans could have used some meat pieces and BBQ sauce. My ribs were dry and 1/2 pork steak a little dry also. My wife had a pork steak meal, and she was pleased with hers. She thought hers was very tender. Prices were reasonable, They only serve brisket on Friday, unfortunately. We tried it based on the Rural Missouri write up, and due to its location (Piedmont), I do not think we would be back.

Best stop on our road trip!…read more My husband and I were driving cross country for work relocation. This particular one was New York to LA and stopped in his old high school town to try some local BBQ. We were not disappointed. Brothers BBQ is out of a small building with outdoor seating only. The brisket was juicy and thick cut, the sauce serving was generous and paired nicely with the char on the fat layer. My husband's hot link sandwich was delicious, the meat was sumptuous and flavorful. Finally the sides were surprisingly just as good if not even better than the BBQ! The collard greens were made perfectly, so hard to find a place that does it right and coaxes out such delicious flavors. The beans were by far the star though, I've never had better at any establishment in the country. There's some sort of ground meat and a little bit of spicy BBQ flavor that make these so irresistible. If you're in the area or even just passing through like we were don't wait to give this place a try. 10/10 would come back again.

The ribs and sliced brisket are some of the best I have ever had. Five+ stars. Amazingly delicious! And very reasonably priced. Half rib platter for $17.25; about 8 ribs with a roll and 2 sides. Two meat combo for $19.50 with 2 sides. Big portions! They were ok but not a huge fan of the mustard based red potato salad or coleslaw. The "smothered chicken" (pulled chicken breast tossed in BBQ sauce) gets great reviews but wasn't my favorite. Go for the ribs or brisket!

Nice smoked flavor with the ribs, which were done dry. The meat did not fall off the bone though, the way I typically like my ribs. Added BBQ sauce, which was on the table. Sausage is kielbasa style. No complaints but also not spectacular. The best part might have been the bun, which tasted like it was fried in butter. Yum! We also got the following sides: Mac n cheese, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans. They tasted fine, but like they were bought from a store. But it's a fun place and great place to take kids. Pretty lake out back and really nice garden setup outside.

I guess I have to settle for once a year on the annual rafting trip down the mighty current river.

This no-nonsense place sporting a bare dirt floor serves up some serious BBQ.
