Campfire Barbecue — Restaurant in Republic

Update #2: Discovered this is essentially the same old place with a new name, so will NOT be trying them again and I am going back to my original review of 1 star. If it's still essentially being run by a group of teenagers who couldn't care less and they haven't made some pretty big improvements on the food quality, it's probably not gotten any better.

Wanted to update my review to state it was for RepMo burgers, which is now closed, NOT for this new restaurant, which I didn't even know existed, but we will try it.

The original review, which was for Repmo: Recently moved here from out of state and had heard that this place was really good for burgers, they had mostly really good reviews and we wanted to support a local business instead of one of the chains. I don't know if we caught them on a bad day, but when calling in a pickup/carry out order (from their Facebook menu), was told they hadn't updated their FB menu in a while and it was no longer accurate. So they didn't have some of the items from their menu that we wanted and had to change our order on the fly. Got the food home and the fries were somehow overcooked on the outside, under cooked on the inside and tasted like the fryer oil hadn't been changed in a while. The onion rings for the burgers were probably 1.5-2" thick cuts, barely cooked and the unseasoned breading was falling off of them. The burgers...two of them had no sauce on them, or so little you couldn't taste it, so we opted to put BBQ sauce from our fridge on them. Overall the burgers were not offensive, but not really very good either, but we hadn't eaten today and very really hungry, so opted to make do and eat them. But then two of them, about halfway through, we found hairs in them, which was kind of the last straw. We did take the food back and they apologized and said they would refund the card or re-make our food, even though we didn't request either..we just wanted to make them aware. So the customer service was good, but the food was really not. We may try them again in the future, as hopefully we just caught them on a bad day. This is the first negative review I have ever posted for a restaurant and only the 2nd time we have taken food back to a restaurant. Again, maybe was just a matter of catching them the day before they close for a few days for the July 4th holiday, but we were really...

I'm on the fence with Campfire BBQ. We had dinner there and this is where I'm at- First of all, the photos and pictures of food are likely not what they have. Those reviews are from a different restaurant they previously owned. So... there's that. Which means they don't have battered and fried corn on the cob. Very disappointed. The menu is very limited in choices. I had the Burnt ends sandwich and beans. I was charged $13 for just the sandwich (the sides were extra) but they were wonderful! Possibly the best I've had. The beans were different but they were good. My wife had the chopped brisket sandwich, she was not impressed. The sandwich had too much fat and the potato salad was very plain and very basic. The atmosphere was very basic. To be fair, maybe they haven't finished remodeling. But for the cost, it was a basic atmosphere, no table service, it was expensive. For what we spent, I could go to competitors and get 2 or 3 meat combos, sides, Texas toast, table service, and a different atmosphere. But that being said, I haven't stopped thinking about how good those...

Editing to Add- Owner posted below to contact and they would make it right - I messaged them on Friday at 5pm, they looked at the message as soon as I sent it - it is now Tuesday with no response! I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and I knew better...lol - Can easily cross this one off my list!

Absolutely hands down the worst bbq I have ever had!.. I have followed this place since they opened... decided today was the day! I spent $53... Bought 1 lb of brisket sliced, 1lb of pork butt shredded, 3 sides of beans and 1 side of Mac n cheese.... #1 the Mac n cheese is atrocious - not creamy, not cheesy - more like orange tinted dry noodles - but even worse is that I spent $26 for 3/4 lb of fat! Absolute nothing but fat brisket... I won't be back, $50 lesson learned! Adding pictures - the plate full is the fat already pulled out of the box plus what is still in the box.. not the same fat! It's literally ALL fat! - The guy at the counter was fairly nice and helpful though 🤷 - If you want good BBQ just go a few miles down the road to Hog Tide... You will never be...
