Piggyback Smoke Shack — Restaurant in Osage

Came from out of town and were expecting some good barbeque. We went during lunch and had the special which we both believed to be rib pieces with Mac and cheese on the side. Instead we received a bowl of Mac and cheese with tiny tiny pieces of meat in it. The macaroni and cheese was sour and lacked any cheesiness. Worst I've ever had! The only taste came from the minute pieces of meat which had a horrible flavor. We went straight home afterwards and both of us got sick. On top of that we played hell trying to check out.

The thing that gives this the 2nd star was the waitress...

Great food, even better hospitality, see a lot of bad reviews about the portion size and price. I travel all over the United States for work and eat out a lot. I did not find the price at al outrageous or portions small. I can say there is nothing wrong with either. Its hard enough to run a restaurant in large cities with customers lined up out the door, let alone a small farm town.
