“Great Ribs/Food/Service”

Bandanas BBQ Fairview Heights

Cuisines: Barbecue
Description: The tradition began in September of 1996 when our first Bandana's BAR-B-Q opened in Arnold, Missouri. Our mission remains the same, to provide the best Southern Style BAR-B-Q, with exceptionally quick service, in a friendly, family atmosphere. Our real wood pit smokers operate 24 hours a day, which is why you can "SMELL THAT SMOKE" every time you come to Bandana's BAR-B-Q. Our meats are hand-rubbed before they go into the smoker. This is how we apply our special Bandana's Dry Rub, which contains over a dozen herbs and spices. This combination requires 11 to 14 hours in the smoker to produce our signature Bandana's BAR-B-Q taste. The BAR-B-Q then goes straight from the smoker and is hand-cut to order. We take just as much care with our side dishes as we do with our meat. Our Potato Salad and Cole Slaw are hand-made, fresh each day. Our Bar-B-Q Baked Beans are slow-cooked with our special sauce and chunks of smoked meat.

We was in the area seen Bananas BBQ thought would give it a try. Very happy with the food and the service. We are 80 miles away and we will be back.

We eat here often after church on Sunday. We were very disappointed in the pulled pork today. It was dry, tough and not the least but smoky. Hopefully it was a one time failure.

Best bbq restaurant I've ever eaten at. Food and service were great. The pulled pork melts in your mouth! Their sides are fresh. The donut holes are made from funnel cake batter. One word "AMAZING!" This past year I have eaten at restaurants from coast to coast and Bandana's is definitely my favorite! I have stopped at every Bandana's we are traveling by and they are all amazing!

This place was suggested by a local and so I took my family and parents that were in town. We got the meal for 3 that came with Ribs and Pulled Pork plus a platter of Turkey. Plenty of food for 4 adults. The dry rub on the ribs was good but a little too much brown sugar for my taste. The turkey was surprisingly juicy and flavorful. Overall, a delicious meal and I would easily suggest it to anyone.

I had the smoked chicken and my husbands had smoked turkey. It is always fabulous. Able to sub garlic bread for a third side which we like since we watch our carbohydrates. Servers are always friendly. I just feel the owner needs to update tables and chairs or use paper on table tops at the very least. Some tables, especially the wood edges on table are sticky and won't wipe clean. Some booths have benches that the cushion in the seat is non existent. Otherwise we enjoy good food and service at this Bandanas Bbq.
