I want to love Bandana's but it's just not my favorite place to get BBQ. It's perfectly acceptable. Meats are tender. Flavor is decent. Just not mind blowing. Service is good. Prices are affordable. Portions are adequate. Eat here, it IS good. I just can't seem to fall in love. But do give them a try. I'm not giving up yet.

The brisket was flavorful. It didn't NEED sauce, but they have 6-7 to choose from. Ken thought the catfish was "okay". I especially like that you can choose various amounts of meat on your platter, from 3 ounces up to 9 ounces.

The scenery looked good, they had a selection of sauces available at the table, the food was cooked well, tasted even better. The briskett was really good would definitely recommend along with their ribs. Their sides the potato salad, baked potato, BBQ beans, and coleslaw was really good as well though I do not belive they are all made in house. Our waitress Carrie was a sweetheart checked on us and helped me remember a movie name. All around good food, good service, and even though I ordered a lot of food I did not wait a long time to receive it.
