Dexter Bar-B-Que

We ate there one evening and a girl was wiping tables off with her broom.
I realize she was probably some HS kid that didn’t care but someone needs to teach her.
Kinda lost my appetite after that… food was ok.

Dexter’s is a great place. It has the convenience of a fast food restaurant sort of set up that, but that’s where the similarity ends. The barbecue ribs are fantastic! The salads are large and plentiful! I was particularly taken by the free refills of the refreshingly icy beverages.
For folks who are on a diet, what’s really great is that you could take any of their barbecue meets and have them apply those meats to the top of the bed of lettuce and other salad elements, permitting you to stay on your diet, or at least imperfectly convince yourself of the same.
If you ask for your dressing on the side, you will be rewarded by getting a hunungoe us bowl of it, which is really generous, in addition to being thoughtful. Be careful though, because those dressings are very tasty and it’s easy to take a healthy meal and convert it to one that’s totally unhealthy with the greatest of ease.
The ambience is middle-​of-​the-​road. The tables are wooden as are the chairs. The chairs do not have cushions, it might be less comfortable for those people who have a bad back or other anatomical limitations. The tables are wiped clean and had little residue or other concerns.
I would rank the salads quite high it I would write the meets as being high as well. I wouldn’t give it five stars because the food isn’t as good as a high end place but appropriate for price.

Solid meal of beef brisket in a plate and on a salad for a meal. Menu looks typical of MO BBQs. Free frozen dairy freeze to top off lunch was a nice touch.

I had to stop through this town and Dexters was recommended for great home style food. Blake and Alissa were amazing. They went over food choices and best sellers because I explained to them I had never been there before. Service was excellent and food was to die for. I had the beef brisket with the brisket sauce and it melted in my mouth. Thanks for the awesome service and I will be back soon!

We were passing through Sikeston and found Dexter BBQ on Unilocal.Great food that was served very quickly. The service was fabulous. I wish we lived in the area so we could eat here again!

Excellent food and even better service. Our entire family loved the pulled pork. The portions on the platters are very large and can easily be split between two people.

2 rating for the following reasons:
Your Bar BQ pulled pork is and has always been good and had a good taste this time… but I ordered a salad topped with polled pork to pick-​up from the window from my car. I asked for Ranch Dressing on the side and also Bar B Q sauce on the side. After arriving home found that I only had 2 sides of ranch dressing and no Bar BQ sauce. Was very, very disappointed. I called the restaurant and expressed my disappointment. They said they were sorry. I poured the iceberg lettuce salad into a bowl along with the two small sides of dressing to try and toss it to cover as much as possible. After removing one small piece of wilted lettuce and tossing as much as possible, the salad was very dry. No matter how good your meat is, without sauce it was dry and disappointing. Also would like to add is the amount of Ranch dressing served with our order believed to be sufficient?

The best Bar-​B-​Que in southeast Missouri! Always my choice to take friends who are visiting from out of town. Never disappoints!

Excellent food! They have a great selection of sauces so everyone can get the level of heat they want. Have had the food both catered and at the restaurant… all great. Wednesday is BBQ chicken day. I didn’t order it but someone in the group raved it was the best they have ever had.

NomNom Yummmo !! I grew up with one of TN’s best BBQ pits down the street so I know good barbeque and Dexter’s is serving up some tasty pork ! I recommend the combo plate which gives you two of the meats and two sides. The pulled pork has a great smokey flavor !

Stopped in for lunch on our way thru to St. Louis. Friendly staff. Restaurant was clean. Always know you’ve made a good choice when the local protection services personnel are eating there. We had the brisket sandwich, turkey sandwich, and pulled pork sandwich. All were served with coleslaw on the sandwich unless you ask for it without. All had a great smokey flavor. Pulled pork was our favorite. Prices were moderate. Would stop again.

If you are near Sikeston, MO don’t pass up the chance to eat a meal here. They have a great pulled pork sandwich and good brisket. Friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Stopped here for lunch on my way to Memphis. Thanks Unilocalers!
Very bare bones menu, but isn’t that what barbecue should be? Was considering the smoked turkey, but settled on pulled pork, and was glad I did. Moist, smokey, deliciousness with a decent amount of bark in it. No «mystery liquid» like you get from places like Applebees who claim they smoke meat for 18 hours (yeah, in a factory somewhere). The potato salad was also spot on (if you enjoy mustard types, which are my fave). The baked beans on the other hand were the one disappointment in the meal — really just seemed to be warmed up from a can, nothing different or inspirational.
All in all a solid choice if you are passing through.

The bbq sandwiches seem a little bland for my taste. People that work there are 5 stars. Beans are good though.

Excellent barbecue and nice service. Would eat here again. Pulled pork past our Georgia barbecue test and the slab of brisket was superb.

Ribs are so good! They are juicy they don’t even need sauce but if u love sauce they have a delicious homemade one!

Walking in you smell the smoke of the wood used to cook. i ordered the small rib order it was well cooked and at a good price. The rub is a bit salty. I really liked the baked beans, the claw slaw was uninspiring overall a 3.5 star meal.
Best rib ever — I think not but I would come back.

I’ve been here a few times when traveling to Sikeston, better BBQ in town. Fast service and clean establishment.

Best ribs ever? Eh… No. I had the rib plate, which came with five ribs, two sides, and toast. The ribs were plenty big, but nothing more than average in flavor. All in all, it was an underwhelming lunch. Since I’m just visiting, perhaps I came on a bad day. I probably won’t be back in this area soon, but my next trip won’t include this place.

Great place for barbeque. Their ribs are great. They have a take-​out window and offer a good selection of barbeque meats and chicken. Dinners come with two sides and prices are very affordable for families.
