Bandana's Bar-B-Q is soooo good! Bandana's is a great BBQ restaurant. They don't have the typical kids menu though (i.e. cheeseburgers, nuggets, etc) so beware if you have picky eaters. The donut holes are the best!!!

Bandana's Bar-B-Q is good. I really like this restaurant which surprised me because I'm not a big fan of the bbq. It was quaint and I could choose the amount and hotness of the sauce I used or I could use none at all. I liked it a lot.

Hands down the worst ribs I've ever had. The sauces weren't any good either. Decent service, but won't be back.

I have always loved Bandana's in the past tonight was not the same. Service was terrible they were not busy when we got there but then started to get busy and everthing fell apart. My daughter ordered a pork sandwich that we never did get the entire time we were there probably 45 minutes. Finally they gave it to me when i tried to pay my bill took 3 different people just to get that done but never offered to take off the bill. Ribs and beef were not nearly as good as usual nor the coleslaw. Looked like a lot of other custome... read more
