    Delicious, first pimento cheese sandwich I've had that I actually enjoyed. Fried strawberry cream cheese pie, to die for.

    An absolute staple of Jackson, MO. Go in and get you a combination (or 3) and a Fitz and you will not be disappointed.

    The BBQ is unique & wonderful. The fries are the best ever. The sweet tea is great, too. A long-time Jackson hot spot. Great service, too.

    The combination sandwich was absolutely incredible and exceeded every expectation that I could have ever set.

    This is also a German restaurant as well. We had a Reuben appetizer (in fried roll form). Yum. It…read morecame with 3. Just needed to be a little more cooked for me. It was good and reheated well in our air fryer at home! My husband liked the Jägerschnitzel. Unfortunately that day it was not as usually made. They were out of something that usually goes in it. My husband still enjoyed it very much. (I forgot to take a picture and it was unrecognizable before I could do so). I had the Bavarian Smash w/fries. I would never have "made" a burger with sauerkraut- but it worked! Heated up nicely at home. It's a large burger! Also the fries, although just wrinkle fries, were well cooked and actually had salt! Yum!! We also had a free dessert but didn't really care for it much. Brownie something served in a plastic cup. It had pistachios in it. Maybe if served differently it would have been more appetizing - maybe. I ended up throwing it away after we arrived home. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food! I would think those who work out in the training office just off the entrance to the building would find it difficult with the delicious smells coming out of this little open place in what I would call the lobby. Would go back with friends and try something different next time.

    I was intrigued by the menu. Chicago dogs, a couple of German dishes!, unusual appetizers, and very…read moreappealing and unique desserts. We thought we'd start with the burger. I love a great smashburger--thin, crispy and well seasoned. This was not it, although the pickles, tomatoes and lettuce were satisfying. Tasted bland, "frozen" type structure and no crispness. Fries were all right. Banana pudding was amazing. I will try something else next time but those burgers need major work.

    I have a dog named Dexter. He is amazing, knows some tricks, loves to eat, and generally makes me…read morehappy. The staff at Dexter BBQ didn't really make me that happy. Rushed to order, even as we stated it as our first time. Forks on all the tables are inside of little silverware condoms (and wet inside these plastic sheaves to boot). Food delivered by a woman wearing a drive through headset (why is there a drive thru?) who essentially grunted our order back to us and walked away after setting it down. Oh yeah, don't forget the hair stuck to the ketchup bottle, but hey, TVs with ball sports abound, so as long as you enjoy MO sports, you'll be comfy. The food was hit and miss. When I say miss, I mean baked beans that tasted like I was spooning brown sugar and molasses directly into my mouth. Way too sweet. When I say miss I mean iceberg lettuce with big ass croutons and an unidentifiable blend of shredded cheese mountain on top. But when I say hit... Wow the ribs were on point. The smoke flavor was incredible, I'm gonna need to shower to get it out of my beard! When I say hit I mean pulled pork that was easily smoked overnight that wasn't full of un-rendered fat pieces. The meat came fairly dry, I assume so that one may make use of Dexter's four signature sauces like local (Southeastern Missouri) vinegar based BBQ sauce. Bottom line, this might be the best restaurant in Jackson MO. It's defiantly not the best if you include "Cape Gerrrarrdiuuuu." These guys have been "smoking butts and taking names" since 1983, but they really should just stick to the meat.

    Ok, lets get down to basics here. Pork streak was dry and looked as if it had been sitting in a…read morewarmer all day. It had a hard, tacky consistency on the outside that gave a resemblance of a crust. That was almost chewy. The sides amd sauce are the only redeeming factors. This is sad. I came for bbq. Not sides. I had originally wanted the ribs. However to my dismay, they were serving BABY BACK RIBS instead of the original ribs for which they are known for. This was and currently is, as I struggle to chew this floor mat of a pork steak, a complete and utter waste of my time. But I paid $17 for this. So I'm going to eat it. This time. There will not be another.
