Description

Crosstown BBQ has received a mix of reviews from customers recently. While some have been disappointed with the overcooked and tough meat, outdated decor, and drive-thru issues, others have raved about the fantastic service, delicious food, and welcoming atmosphere. The brisket and potato salad have been particularly praised, with one customer even hailing the ribs as the best they've ever had. The consistency of the food, especially the catfish and brisket, has been attributed to chef Chris, who has helped maintain the high standards of the establishment.

Was really looking forward to trying out this place, but was so disappointed. $48.08 lighter in the wallet, and didn 't even want to finish the meal. We both tried The Big Papa . BBQ beans sounded good as a side, but honestly I think they were VanCamp pork and beans out of a can. The brisket was ok, but the ribs were tough, tasted almost burnt, and the sparingly applied BBQ sauce tasted like something off the shelf at a local store. No refill was ever offered for my drink, even though it was already empty when the food came, and when we were done eating what we could, I had to walk up to the counter to get the attention of one of the guys working that I was ready to pay. Still had to wait several minutes standing there while they were lost in their own world until one finally came up to the register. I am giving two stars only because it reminded me once again how awesome a certain BBQ joint in Aurora is. I work too hard for my money to come here again. ?

Went in there after moving stuff to get my barbecue cravings satisfied and it did not disappoint! They were all very kind and recommended the Bluto with spicy sauce since I couldn’t make up my mind from the menu lol. Some of the best barbecue I’ve had yet! I devoured it so fast I didn’t get a picture. Will come back again for more!

Crosstown BBQ has the best barbecue in SW Missouri. I love my BBQ and try to eat it where ever I’m at. I’ve always loved the Brisket with cheese sauce on it is simply amazing. The owner has his own BBQ that should sold in stores. They have a food trailer on Campbell where the owner was at tonight. This place needs to be recognized.Parking: Free and big areaWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of parking for wheelchairs or other handicapped vehicles.

My husband had the big papa I think I had the Nana ... the minute we walked in we could smell the smoked meat and our bellies were screaming. Took us a bit to decide cuz there was multiple choices we wanted and couldn't decide. The food was great.. I LOVED the brisket the potato salad!! They were really nice and we had a great meal. We both remembered the old commercial but had never tried the food there.. but we're glad we did today while in Springfield. It's easy to see how they're celebrating so many years with good bbq like that. Highly recommend
