Smokin' Bob's BBQ — Restaurant in Springfield

If I could leave 10 stars I would. This was the best BBQ I've ever had the privilege to eat North of my home state of Texas. My Grandmother and I dined her for the very first time, and we were just blown away with the variety of choices and the quality of the BBQ. It's no wonder why they sell out frequently of their burnt ends and pork belly burnt ends. I hadn't had a meal taste so good that made me not want to stop eating! I didn't want to take any leftovers home, but I did so that my Grandma could enjoy even more later in the evening. Aside from the amazing quality of food choices. The absolute best part was the service! Levi and Rylee welcomed this Texas native and his Grandma with open arms. They let us sample a burnt end and we were hooked. They went as far as explaining in detail how the food was cooked and what all ingredients go in to each of their most popular items. They were so kind and considerate to my Grandma, who isn't easy to please, but if she knew how to work a smart phone she would have said the same thing I'm saying now. Don't pass up the opportunity to dine here. If you love BBQ prepared the right way, then Smokin' Bob's is for you and the whole family. I highly recommend getting a 1/4 lb of burnt ends, brisket, ribs "that just fall of the bone and melt in your mouth" and the some sides. We went with the smoked cheesy corn, and the baked beans. The entire meal was a culinary delight. But the ambiance and great customer service took it to the next level. Levi and Rylee are professionals and feel free to let them guide you through the me u as I did, they'll take great care of you. Just top notch service and food all around. Thank you again sincerely Levi and Rylee, and the entire Smokin' Bob's team for that matter, for given me the Southern hospitality I grew up knowing so well, all while being in the "Show Me State". So make sure to stop by the next time your craving BBQ in Springfield, MO, and you'll be diving right into an experience fit for the whole family, that you'll never...

I'd heard good things, but am a skeptical KC girl about finding great bbq in Springfield. I've tried a lot, not all. Mostly I've become jaded.

Not today. Went just after 11:30am on Saturday, and already there was a line almost to the door. After saying it was our first time visiting, we had a sample of both their pork belly and beef burnt ends. I changed my mind about my order then. It was going to need to include some of these beef burnt ends. While both were good, these were amongst the best beef burnt ends I've had in years. This is a bit shocking, but that statement includes trips home to KC.

Also sampled the smoked Mac n cheese, smoked beans and pulled pork. I could just eat those beans as a meal. They've got a bit of heat, I think I saw a jalapeño piece, and good size chunks of meat. Love them. The Mac was good, it's got a good smoky taste, but isn't too much as sometimes happens. The pulled pork was good, but I think it suffered being next to the burnt ends, and I just wanted more burnt ends. There was more burnt ends than in the picture, but I ate some on the drive home, oops.

Sauces are sweet, and even the hot is sweet with the heat on the back end of it. I'd choose the hot if eating there, and skip in favor of sauce at home if getting to go.

I can't say enough good things. I'm so happy to find the elusive great bbq place of Springfield. Wish I'd visited sooner.

PS. I'm told the smoked cheesy corn was tasty by my partner. I didn't eat any, because cheesy corn isn't my thing and honestly, it was inhaled by him even if I did...

Honestly, if I could give them negative stars for customer service I would. Out of the three times I’ve tried to get food from them they have been rude and dismissive. This last attempt, which will be my final attempt was the worst. I called them 20 minutes before their closing time and their words when answering the phone were (in a very dismissive way) “thank you for calling! We are all sold out of food for the night so what can I help you with!” I’m sorry but how can you seriously be out of every single piece of food when your a restaurant. That’s like a lumber mill being out of wood, or an ice cream parlor being it of ice cream. Like seriously how do you have a business where you have to answer the phone and say “hello we sell food here but we are completely out of food so what else can I get for you tonight?” Ummmmm seriously what else did you think I was calling you for? Duh!! Like what I’m supposed to be like “oh dang honey they don’t have food here at this one, but good thing we were calling them to get a ride somewhere and not to order dinner for the night otherwise we really would...
