Route 66 BBQ & Catfish

Here on Saturday at 12 noon, no one here. Haven’t seen them the last few times I’ve came but I’m still giving 5 stars because they were nice people and the BBQ & Catfish was amazing.

This place is a hidden gem. I can't say enough about how awesome they are. Everything is great and the ribs are insanely good.its right off the freeway easy access for cars or trucks if you're a driver like me you must stop here anytime you get a chance. Family owned and operated high quality everything. Also I'm a dry rub kinda guy but the bbq sauce is homemade and it is to die for. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

Best BBQ we’ve ever had in SW MO!! My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and fries. I got the 3 ribs with baked beans and fries. It was so good, we hardly ate the fires. Must have when you drive through Strafford on I-44. Just turn off where the truck stops are. Get on the road by Love’s gas station. It’s a little black and white trailer by the car wash.

Saw this place on a "Best of Route 66" article and my friend and I stopped to check it out on our Springfield>STL>KC>Springfield baseball road trip, and boy am I glad we did. Originally drove right by it and had to turn around to find it, but it was literally the BEST meal I had all weekend. Wanted to stop back by again on my last day in town but it was Sunday and Google said it was closed. :( Please do yourself a favor and go get the brisket from this place. I'd be a regular here if I lived nearby. SO good.
