Palasota's Smokehouse — Restaurant in Camdenton

Brisket so soft you have to double check to make sure you took a bite of the right meat, while still able to hold it's shape.

The ribs were fall off the bone and juicy. Definately a mess maker, as I like them to be.

The pulled pork needs a rebranding. "Pulled" seems too harsh a word, this was more like a "delicately preppared for your flavor satisfaction pork"

Their standard in-house sauce has such a great arrangement of smokey bbq flavor. I did ask, and they do not provide it as an IV injection option, which is too bad, I want it as my prescription.

The meat was so fantastic that I focused my eating efforts on it and not the sides, I came unpreppared and for that I am sorry, but the small bite of Mac and Cheese that I had room to handle was delicious. A slight smokey flavor with LOT O CHEESE smothering the shells. The onions rings were crispy outsides with onion filled centers, as one should agree, is how onion rings should be.

My only regret in life is not having a surgery to expand my stomache so I can eat more of this food.

Go there, eat...

I'm very disappointed in the look and taste of the meat. The sides was the bomb. Baked beans was like homemade packed with flavor and not runny. Mac and cheese was impressive and the fried mushrooms hit the spot and of course the cottage cheese was cottage cheese.... but the ribs and the chicken was as black as my coffee maker. I've never had smoked meat that was black there was no spice or smoke flavor in fact it tasted like charcoal lighter fluid. I wish I had of waited on getting the extra slab of ribs for my daughter to have later. The meat was tender and not dry but they really need to figure out the smoking process of the meat. The staff was friendly the restaurant was clean very nice inside. My order was to go. I could not eat the meat i just threw it away so I guess I should of took the 100.00 I spent and set it on fire as the smoked meat was the main reason

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE NOR WILL I...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Local Favorite — Don’t Skip It!

Palasota’s in Camdenton is one of our best-kept secrets… but it’s too good not to share. If you’re going to a concert at the Ozarks Amphitheater, this is the place to eat — just a few minutes away and absolutely worth it.

The ribs and brisket are incredible — slow-smoked, super tender, and full of flavor. The smoked chicken is awesome too, especially the next day. I always grab extra just to make nachos at home — they’re wild.

But the real problem? The sandwiches. The half-pounders are huge and so good they might have to roll me out the door if I don’t stop myself. The bread-to-meat ratio is spot on, and they always hit the spot. I say I’ll save half for later, but let’s be honest — that rarely happens.

Quick service, friendly people, and big portions. Can’t...
