"We do one thing exceptionally well at Bandana's, and that's barbeque. Pork, Beef, Chicken, Ribs, and Turkey. The key to our success has been taking the time to do things right. That means "patience and craftmanship". I like to say, we cook it slow, but serve it fast.
... because I know fast, friendly service is what brings folks back again and again."



A Tradition of fine food and family recipes for over four generations.

At the heart of the Bandana's story is a dedicated family of restaurateurs, dating back over a century and four generations. David Seitz represents the third generation, while today, his son Jonathon works at his side in this proud family tradition. David learned the slow, southern style smoking process for barbeque as a boy in Jacksonville, Florida. That's where he perfected the blend of that slow smoking process and his family's recipe of unique flavor enhancing dry rubs.
This combination requires 11 to 14 hours in the smoker, to produce our signature, Bandana's Bar-B-Q taste. Only American hardwoods are used in this unique process because David knows how much the smoke compliments the ultimate taste of his barbeque. David Seitz introduced southern style barbeque to St. Louis, MO in 1996. The reception was overwhelming. Today, Bandana's has grown to a force of 17 stores in the St. Louis area.
