“ Tasty Bbq served old style. The brisket and pulled pork were amazing. Three types of house bbq sauce and decent sides as well. Bottled beer and fountain drinks available. Looking for straight forward, no fuss, and great taste, this is a great bet. ”
“ This has got to be one of the better places for BBQ in Springfield. Each bite tasted hot and fresh. The meat was so soft that the flavor melted in your mouth. The line was a bit long, but once you place your order it comes out speedy quick. The restaurant also has an air filtration system, another plus. ”
“ Melt-in-your-mouth brisket!! Delicious sides. Seemed like very nice people, dog friendly (picnic tables out front under awning), great food. Wish we lived in town, we'd be back if we are ever in Springfield again! ”
“ Simply put, the best bbq turkey sandwich I’ve ever eaten and their mustard sauce, while not a traditional Carolina bbq sauce is the BOMB. I tried a bite or two of other people’s BBQ and it was good but that turkey sandwich...dang why am I hungry?? ”
“ My wife and I came to Springfield from St. Louis Mo. My wife was reading me the reviews while I was driving. We stopped and the place was inviting. The young lady was very friendly. We got the last of the turkey and a half pound of brisket. When began to eat while we were relaxing. I was like wow! I loved the turkey but I really loved the brisket! It was smoked to perfection. We travel a lot and I must say this place is in the top 5. I also enjoyed the Spicy BBQ Sauce. A nice heat that wasn't too hot. ”
“ My family and my favorite bbq in Springfield Missouri. I always get the brisket and pork belly which is basically thick-cut smoked bacon very good and pulled pork sandwich with potato salad and Cole slaw. They have 3 sauces which are also very good the regular bbq, the spicy bbq, and a mustard-based bbq sauce. I recommend this place to everyone. Definitely have to give them a try. ”
“ That duo samich with pork belly and brisket is the bomb. Yes I know some would call it a sandwich but as good as it is that's a samich!! Baked bean were delicious. First time, for us but it won't be the last. We've got to go through the menu!7 ”
“ City Butcher and Barbecue came highly recommended from a friend. I agree with my friend! Delicious tender burnt ends!! You have to get the baked beans also. They are loaded with chunks of moist cuts as well. I also tried the cheesy jalapeno corn which was an additional highlight. This favorite spot for burnt ends is hidden away in a strip mall. So just plug it in to your GPS and get on down there for yours! They are known to run out. The entrance is on the far right of the store front with the counter and menu board being your first stop. Order and pay, then follow around to the kitchen door with your receipt and wait for your order to come out. This is great food to order and take home as well. The interior is basic wood tables and booths but you're not there to sit and admire the surroundings . . . you're there for some darn good burnt ends! Yes, there's other items on the menu, but why? Staff was pleasant and helpful. This is definitely a repeat experience! ”
