Dexter B Q Cape Girardeau

Poor service. Turkey didn’t look like photo, dried out thin slice for $13. SMH. Didn’t get guest orders right and then blamed us.

We traveled 6 hours to get here and decided to eat bbq at Dexter's. Big mistake! When my husband was served his combo plate, both the ribs and brisket were cold. Management would only offer to bring a to go box so we could take it with us. We won't be going there again!

I drive to Mo. from my home in Illinois and I always stop and get some of these great ribs. Bu not tonight. First mistake, I ordered a salad as one of my sides only to be charged $2.50 extra because I guess getting croutons on it with a pink tomato makes it a super salad. I ordered the large rib dinner which is supposed to have 6 ribs. There were 4 good ribs and a piece of something which I am guessing was the end of something that was supposed to count for 2 ribs. Oh well... Then I ordered 4 cold sides at $25 a side and asked them to cut them in half so they would fit in my cooler. The lady told me they could not do that. What she didn't know is I was going to double that order but when she said they could not take 3 minutes and cut them in half for me I just ordered the sides that my friend wanted. That cost them a hundred dollars real fast. The ribs themselves were above average in taste but had more fat on them than I have ever seen. May have been the end of rib cage or just fatty for some reason. I can tell you this, I will go back but if this happens again I will find myself another bbq joint to cater to when I pass thru several times a year. Won't let one bad trip stop my business with them but 2 will.

Its ok but I've been to a lot of BBQ spots and the flavor just isn't there with the brisket sandwich I had. I had their seasoned (maybe Cajun fries) as a side. They were pretty good. Place was clean and food came out quickly. Not a lot of thrills beyond some basic bbq menu items.

I loved this place for years, but I moved away 4 yrs and visited the cape girardeau location for the first time and it was delicious! this restaurant was more beautiful than other places like dexter or sikeston! very good eating, personal was friendly and place was clean service was fantastic! am I back?
