We are in town for a business trip and decided to try all the local restaurants this was one of the first ones that we went to the first thing you notice is how beautiful the view is from their window you can see right...into the river ,the second thing is how big the room is it has enough space for big crowds. Once you're in follow the hoofprints on the ground to go around the corner to order there is a menu up close so you can see what they have to offer ,we got the meat daddy it had a little bit of everything it comes with two different sides. on the tables you'll find different types of BBQ sauce they even have a white BBQ sauce that is actually pretty good I would highly recommend the red cream soda it's awesome, you get quite a bit of food for the price also after you're done you can walk right across the street and go sit at the little park by the river.More

Overall it was a bad experience. Fish portion was small and they tried to fluff it up by putting it on a salad?? Brisket was acceptable but dry. Side orders of potato salad and cole slaw tasted very bland. Fried Artichokes were abysmal.

We had lunch here while on tour of Washington. Our three choices of meat were preordered. With the meat came two sides, a drink, and dessert. It was a beautiful day so we chose to sit outside where we had a view of the railroad...and the Missouri River. Our servings were quite generous and the food was delicious.More

I have dined here several times and the food is always pretty good. However the meal I had today was epic! Everything was delicious. I had a turkey sandwich with a couple of sides including the cream spinach as well as the scalloped potatoes. The...turkey was moist and tender and perfectly cooked. The sides were amazing. Some of the best creamed spinach that I have had in years. I would put it up against any restaurant including any high-end steakhouse. The scallop potatoes were also delicious. I can’t wait to go back. The people are nice and the service is efficient. A great spot for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner.More

Great experience. Came here during the pandemic. Very safe environment with a super staff. We had a group, so had a large variety of food ordered. Everything was excellent. Eat the Big Muddy!

Have always had positive service and food from this restaurant over the past months. The brisket has always been our favorite. Yesterday, however, we purchased four pound of brisket to share at a birthday party and close to half was pure beef fat -- some...pieces were nearly all fat. Certainly extremely disappointing!More

Average BBQ for someone that eats a ton of BBQ. Definitely the spot to grab a seat by the river and soak up some fresh air. Not easy finding resteraunt with prime seats outside post COVID-19

Ordered at 2:45 for a 7:15 pickup was called at 6:50 to tell us they were sold out of most side items we ordered. We made different selections and went to pick up the food. Rude, no apologies for being out of everything, that I...ordered 4 hours prior, they had every excuse but not one apology, offer a free drink, nothing. Glad to take me money but no customer service. We tried to order the day before and they were already sold out, which is understandable so the next morning I called and ask if I could order for a certain time for pickup that night, I was assured that was the best way to be able to get what we wanted so I ordered in the afternoon and then 30 minutes before pick up they called me. They had just received my order? Really? I understand things happen but in my opinion and apology would have been the first start. Bunch of younger kids that really just don’t care, they were glad to take my 60 dollars though.More

I’m not sure what all the hype is about. Our pulled pork and jalapeño sausages were cold. The potatoes au gratin were tasteless and not hot either. We were charged double for our sandwiches. That issue was resolved. It’s very pricy for the lack of...quality. Don’t think we will be going back.More

Stopped in to eat after a basketball game and was very pleased. The food was delicious and portions large. The atmosphere is rather plain but acceptable. The service was prompt and polite. Would recommend eating here if you like barbecue.
