Our Culture
Grandfather Bud was a man who stood for family, bar-b-cue, and the lost art of hospitality. He made people feel special, and was someone you always had to say hello to. Bud’s Classic Bar-B-Que strives to uphold these values by bringing people together over simply good bar-b-cue.
To us, bar-b-cue is code for sit down, be present, and have a good time. Our love for food comes from memories of gathering with friends and family. Although the meal was always honest and plenty, the real joy came from laughter, great company, and a feeling of welcomeness.
So come on in, make yourself at home. Let us do the cooking while you make the memories.

Top Notch! Food was great and service was good also…loved the whole vibe, just what Columbia needed!
As a KC native, I’ve been waiting for a BBQ spot with this kind of atmosphere in Columbia. Not only was the pulled pork some of the best I’ve ever had, but the experience was top notch.

Bar-B-Que
Done Right
Our roots started in Hereford, Texas, the beef capital of the world. We take pride in our process, and understanding the detail of each slab of meat. We spent the last year learning from the best in Texas craft bar-b-que to bring those flavors to Columbia, MO.
Our two custom-made, wood-fueled smokers are powered by live-fire. With this process, the wood itself becomes an ingredient rather than just a fuel source. When you run a clean fire with incredible hardware and use it the right way, it’s magical. Just imagine the sweetness of caramel and even a dark chocolate note on your brisket from a carefully managed live fire.
We spend 12 to 14 hours putting together a product that you might consume in 3 to 4 minutes. We’ll do that every day and enjoy it because what goes on behind the scenes is what makes it a craft.
