Had the snoot. It was delish. Wife had a side salad and an order of fried cauliflower. Salad was good, but those leaves that look like dandelions, I could do without.

We booked the upstairs venue for a babyshower with catering by Mr Bbq with Karen Butler. She was very accommodating, personable, and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, the chicken salad sandwiches were a huge hit and the food layed out looked and tasted scrumptious! Even on the rainiest day the view through the floor to ceiling windows was still beautiful! I will recommend this venue and catering service to anyone hosting an event. The pricing is reasonable, the staff is the best, and the food delicious! Thanks for helping make the day so special!

Drove out to Mystic Golf Course to try Mr BBQ cuisine.  We got the half slab ribs, fried chicken & sides of fried mushrooms, fried okra, & french fries.  Everything was outstanding.  The ribs just slid off the bones, very tasty.  Kiwan, Mr BBQ, was extremely busy, but did manage to tell us his success story. We'll definitely be back.

Good food, great friendly service and lovely dining and bar areas! Reasonable food and drink cost and the outside deck area overlooks the lake/golf course. Nice!

I had carry out of ribs and pork steaks. And beans. The absolute best BBQ I've ever eaten. I usually have no sauce anywhere. But this was great. I can't wait til you open up closer to me.

We just left Mr BBQ in Columbia. Let me tell you it was absolutely delicious. We got there right around noon (which was great because after we were sat the customers steadily kept coming in) The fried chicken was delicious! We had the potato skins and they were freshly made!! Not made from frozen potatoes. The cole slaw and baked beans are the most flavorful I’ve had.

We love Mr. BBQ. Great food at a great price. Fried chicken is amazing! My favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich with buffalo and their yummy homemade ranch! Never had a bad meal here.

EXCELLENT, Cannot Express how much we loved our visit on Mothers Day. It was also my Mother's 90th Birthday! We had 15 people (majority drove in from Branson that morning), we were treated so well! The food was amazing and plentiful! And the atmosphere, for that day, was just beautiful. My mom had the best day & was so surprised ♥️ Kudo's to all the staff (and for being short staffed that day) great people....5 stars all day long *****

We all had 3 different meals, various sides to share. Everything was hot, made to order. Pretzel melted in your mouth. Beer cheese was smooth. Chicken juicy. We will definitely be back. Our waitress was supersweet.

My family and I came to try Mr. BBQ for the first time and were sadly disappointed. A $90 bill for our family of 4. The ribs were not good at all. It sucks to pay $23 for a half rack of ribs and they are no good. Also, since they are serving outside only right now due to renovations, drinks are purchased by the can. $11 of the bill was for 5 sodas and a water. Lastly, they charge 3% for you to use your credit card. They potato skins and fried chicken wings were good.

Stopped in on 10/19 @ 4:30 give or take 15 mins. and got the snoot plate and dbl fries extra crispy, the fries were perfect extra crispy like I asked but I couldn't eat 3/4 of the snoot it was super chewy and hard the pieces I did get eat were good. It sucks when you spend over $13. on 1 snoot plate and can't eat nothing but the fries.

Bland pulled pork drowned in BBQ sauce. Price point was ok, but pork was unseasoned and dry.

Ordered potato skins and they were greasy, cheese covered the whole potato and no bacon, salad is a bag of wilted lettuce, chopped white onion ruined it and dressing needed ingredients. We ordered the chicken strips appetizer and we always get six but today we got four. My hubs waited an hour. They were out of bacon and ribs. I guess no pork delivery. Plus made him pay in cash. They said credit card computer not working. We will go again but we will be present so we don't pay for food not prepared. They should have given my hubs a discount bc of the trouble. I will say that the waterloo one never made any mistakes.

First I would give 10 stars if I could for the quality of food, but did not have a good experience. First I ordered food for our family Christmas for 14, from the catering manager. She advised me I could pick up in Waterloo if I wished and quoted me a price. On the day, I called before I left and Waterloo Mr. BBQ had no idea…so we called Columbia who seemed to be clueless as well about my order, but said they would get it together for me. They did, but when I went to pay it was $150 more than I was quoted. When I protested the owner said the price I was given was impossible because this cost this much and that cost that much…he ended up taking $50 off but I still had to pay $100 over my quote. Actually if I’d known that I would have gone with Shortys, because their quote was less. Moral of the story…get your quote in writing!

Waited over 30 minutes, not lunch hour but 2pm), for Jack salmon plate and cod sandwich. Once home no stewed tomatoes and the cod was so smelly and tasted bad so we threw it out. Won’t ever be back.

Absolute worst service and experience for a restaurant in Waterloo. We live nearby and wanted to try something new. We walked in and because it is inside a golf club we were not sure exactly where to go and had our kids with us so we were cautious when walking in. Before we could even make it all the way in the dining area I heard someone yell “Shut the door!”. Once inside we were told to sit anywhere we wanted and told her we’d sit on the patio. We waited 15 minutes before we got up and left because no one had come to greet us, take drink orders or provide menus. We will never go here again and will spread the word to our friends and family in town of the absolutely poor service we received.

Don't waste your money got the bbq nachos and for 14.00 what a dissatisfaction. They tasted like little league ballpark nachos and when they said you can dress them up yourself they brought out a pack of sour cream...the owner was rude 😒 I miss the beast that was real quality bbq save yourself and your money go elsewhere. Cheap cheese sauce cheap bbq sauce and stale chips...no ty

We went to New location in Columbia. Waited about 30 minutes to get seated as they were packed for opening night. Placed our order at 6:50PM. People who came in approx 30 minutes after we placed our order got served their meal before us. Our order still not out at 8:10PM. The short lady assume it was an owner or manager said she was very sorry but they are new. Sorry, your not new, just new location. We left and will never return to this subpar restaurant.
