It appears you could host a large event here, inside or outside. Lots of seating in this old barn. Food was about average for me. Service was a little awkward, but the cook seemed friendly. They were out of fried chicken when I went. Plenty of parking.

The food was not bad but was nothing amazing. If you need to grab a bite, it will suffice. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The tables, floors, and seats were clean, and nothing was broken.

We had lunch here on a Thursday, in July. There were only two groups of people eating lunch. Which was just fine for us.

The waitress didn’t know what to do. She was slow. Never came to refill our drinks. But did other tables.

I ordered the brisket quesadilla and the barnyard. They were delicious! Both the pulled pork and brisket were succulent and smoked to perfection! The place is clean and the staff are very friendly. Will definitely stop again when I’m going through.

AMAZING!! We live in KC and stopped in here for lunch on our way to the lake. It was some of the best bbq we’ve ever had! Every single thing was great, from the salad with the homemade ranch to the tender pulled chicken, the house made coleslaw to the home made chocolate cake! We will definitely be back! Our waitress was super sweet as well!

We are new to this area and stopped in to taste some local flavor. The Pitchfork did not disappoint. First, the service was amazing. We had a very friendly and attentive server. They have a variety on their menu, but we opted for the buffet. What a variety there as well! If you like smoked meats and catfish with a good choice of tasty sides, don’t miss the Friday night buffet. The ambiance was welcoming, too. A++

Stopped hereon the way home from Branson with my wife and daughter. Glad we did great prices and spectacular food and amazing service. The decorations were beautiful , must try there Cinnamon rolls omg sooooo good the best I have ever had the ribs are also some of the best I’ve had in years the bones literally slid right out of the meat. The pulled pork was terrific and the brisket was great there bbq sauce was delicious. Amazing potatoes and cheese a must stop for everyone. Also the sweet tea is superb definitely southern worthy.

Food is alright, but the buffet seemed like it didn’t have a lot of options. Workers were friendly, no problems there. The food wasn’t anything special but it was fine, I’ve only gone a couple times. Not really a place I’d want to go back to, but maybe the restaurant just isn’t for me.
