The Bandanas BBQ Menu tells the story of a beloved Midwestern smokehouse that started with a simple idea: real pit BBQ cooked slow and served with love. Founded in 1996 by Skip Steele in Arnold, Missouri, Bandanas BBQ began as a small-town joint where hickory-smoked meats met Southern hospitality. As time goes by, its reputation for tender pulled pork, smoky ribs, and flavorful sauces spreads across states, leading to multiple locations throughout Missouri, Illinois, and beyond.
As Bandanas grew, so did its menu—adding fan favorites like BBQ nachos, smoked turkey, and hearty platters that kept guests coming back.
But beyond the regular offerings lies a secret menu featuring off-menu delights and special combos that only loyal fans are aware of.
Still, the original slow-smoked pulled pork sandwich—the dish that started it all—remains the heart and soul of Bandanas BBQ today.
