The tradition began in September of 1996 when our first Bandana's
BAR-B-Q opened in Arnold, Missouri. Our mission remains the same, to
provide the best Southern Style BAR-B-Q, with exceptionally quick
service, in a friendly, family atmosphere. Our real wood pit smokers
operate 24 hours a day, which is why you can "SMELL THAT SMOKE" every
time you come to Bandana's BAR-B-Q.
