Boone's BBQ Barn — Restaurant in Bolivar

Disappointing. As two people who cook a lot, it was obvious the brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and ribs were all poor quality meat that was either cooked too long in the case of the chicken , or not long enough in the case of the other meat ( connective tissue in ribs and pulled pork not dissolved), and everything had been reheated in the microwave. Made it both dry and greasy, with a gamey flavor. Rubbery and tough. We couldn't eat more than two bites. Beans were good, as were the potato salad and slaw, but nothing special enough to offset the meet. Potatos in hashbrown casserole were under cooked, and there were soggy corn flakes on top. No resenting from the sauces. I can forgive the serve yourself drinks and plastic silverware, and ordering at the counter is...fine. Big open area with a stage, looks like an outdoor area, could be a fun place. We were in at 5 on Wednesday and we're the only customers there. The lady who rang up our order was bright and cheerful. We were there to scout food to cater an event, but left our food only lightly touched and decided we will cook much better ourselves. For $42 for two people, will buy a rack of ribs, a whole Boston Butt, spend the leftover money on drinks, and cook much better food at home for ourselves and friends. I grew up around Bolivar, and like to support local, but they'll have...

My only complaint is I cannot give them a higher score than a 5. I would give Boone's BBQ a 1,000 star rating if I could! Fantastic service and atmosphere! Love the walk-up counter ordering! The food came out quickly, piping hot, and it was probably some of the best barbecue pulled pork I've ever had. The fried pickles were also absolutely to die for, and I've been dreaming about them ever since. The staff was super attentive, friendly, hilariously approachable and highly knowledgeable about the food, their personal favorites and the overall favorites of the establishment. Since it was a barbecue restaurant I was expecting okay cleanliness, but wow! You could have eaten off these floors they were so clean. Even the sauce bottles on the table were clean! For a barbecue restaurant?! That's unheard of! You can tell they take a lot of pride in their establishment and what they do. Definitely looking forward to our next trip to Boone's BBQ! We LOVE local BBQ establishment, especially with an atmosphere as rich and colorful as Boone's! We cannot wait to try the brisket and ribs, and If they are anywhere near as good as the pulled pork, I know it will be the best BBQ WE'VE EVER HAD IN SWMO! Thank you Boone's BBQ for a FANTASTIC...
