Missouri Hick Barbeque: A BBQ Haven in Cuba, MO

Our larger group had a great lunch. The waitress was attentive. The meal was very good. The special was fried chicken. It was great. I was only surprised by the wait to fry it. I assumed they would have it mass fried. Still, it was worth the wait. I highly recommend this establishment. It's way more than a tourist location. It's legit!

Moving reviews off Yelp. Originally written in 2019. Been back a few times since. One time I was in, there were about 20 folks all dressed head-to-toe in official Harley wear, speaking German. They were from a club that came to ride Route 66 and they had stopped in here for lunch. I'm bumping these folks up a star based on the Reuben I had for lunch there yesterday. Why did I go to a bbq place and order a Reuben you may ask? Mainly because I took a customer there and it's what he ordered. The corned beef was some of the best I've ever tasted. They smoke it in-house and cut it thick with a knife instead of on a rotary slicer. It comes out hot, tender and incredibly juicy. Hot means steaming a little, tender means it falls apart when you poke it with a fork and juicy means it will soak through the bottom slice of bread if you wait too long. There's also a bit of bark to it like you find on a smoked brisket. All in all, one damn fine sandwich at a place that should be known for bbq.

Food was perfect! We had the pulled pork nachos, smoked chicken and brisket. Portions were enough for two meals! Meats were tender and juicy not dry. The BBQ sauces are AMAZING. Our favorite is the Sweet and Smoky. Must try if you like BBQ. The decor is unique the use of old sewing machine parts...just wow! Very good business y'all should be proud

I really enjoyed this place. The pulled pork sandwich and brisket were both very tasty. I tried all of the sauces on the table. The sweet and smoky and honey were my personal favorites. The sweet and spicy was not very spicy, but was also good.

I kept seeing signs for this place on the freeway. I figured it was probably a tourist trap, but when in Rome....I arrived to an absolutely empty restaurant. I got a hick bowl...this thing was enormous and pretty good IMO.

First and for most as someone who has eaten BBQ across the country.... this place has the best Ribs i have ever tasted. The staff are pleasant, professional, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant itself is clean, and the atmosphere is exactly what you would want for eating and enjoying good BBQ. Ribs- 10/10 both dry and with sauce. Suace- 7/10 Brisket- 6/10.... tasted good, would definitely eat again.... however texture and taste was more of a shredded beef than Brisket. Pulled pork French fry nachos- 10/10 out of this world. Mac and cheese- 6/10 could have been more creamy, but still good. Green beens- 7/10 good green beens.

Our food arrived fast. The ribs, brisket and pulled pork were absolutely delicious. The green beans were the best I wouldn't have orderd the fries had I known... I did get a second order. My husband said his coleslaw was good. Restaurant and Bathroom were clean, wait staff was pleasant and prompt.

This place blew me away. Service was great, but the cook is on a whole different planet of talent. Every bite tasted like it came from someone who truly knows their craft. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfect, the brisket had that melt-in-your-mouth magic, and the flavors were unreal. You can tell the cook operates with pride, precision, and pure skill. If there was a hall of fame for BBQ cooks, this person belongs in it. Absolutely outstanding.
