17th Street Barbecue

Do not go here to eat ..food is cold as hell ..empty glasses for a bout an hour ....order is wrong ull never go back

OK we moved to Cape Girardeau and all i heard was how great this place was...so we drove there over a hour to eat ...and the Night mare started there ....the worst food i have ever had ...we ordered the ribs ...first we had to track down a wait staff then hed to ask about our order then got the worst ribs i have EVER had ...i swear i will not go back and tell people about the crappy food ....BEWARE....

Don't miss it! The barbecue is out of this world and the portions are good sized. The Slaw they serve is to die for...haven't been able to figure out what's in it, but I can hope!!

I went here because it was rated the Best BBQ in the country. Illinois can you believe it. They were right. Baby backs, pulled pork, and brisket is awosme. Their Baked sweet potato is a must as a side. If I lived closer this is all I would eat.

We visited the World Shooting Complex last night and let me tell you how disappointed I was! The only reason I give this restaurant one star is because I couldn't give them none, and after all, they do have tables and chairs.



It started when we walked in the door (party of 4, to celebrate a friend's birthday). We were shown right to a table with a very nice view. After that, it was ALL downhill! The service was lousy at best. The food? PLEASE...someone take that "magic dust" shaker AWAY from the cook!! By the time I was in the car headed home (almost 2 hours later, mind you) I had such swollen legs and hands from all the sodium. But let's talk about the delicious appetizers that never arrived until AFTER our dinner was served. Not that we didn't ask where they were and when they actually did arrive at our table, they were cold. A clue to the server should have been when they finally brought our meals after we sat there for over an hour watching all the people that came in after us enjoying their meals, and we immediately asked for go boxes which she never brought after being asked TWICE. I finally went to get the manager...enough was enough. 15 minutes to get waited on at all, another 45 to get our meals (it's not that we ordered anything special either) and then sitting and waiting, waiting, waiting for our waitress, ANY waitress to come by. AAGGHH!! We left...and since we're local folks, not visitors, we WON'T recommend this place to anyone!!



It's a real shame, too, because we experience a totally different atmosphere at the O'Fallon, IL, location where the food is great, the service was excellent and the waitresses drive very nice cars!
