Hands down the best BBQ in town, but getting a little pricey for a self seat, self service restaurant. Chips are to die for and bbq sauce is spot on!
Get the pork Cuban sandwich. The pork cuban sandwich with some of their home made chips (i like the parmesan flavoring) cannot be beaten in Jeff City.
Loved it. Great rib dinner, very good sides and reasonable prices. Try the homemade chips
Slackers loves Lutz's. I get the fish basket with salt and vinegar chips. If you like fish (or even just think it's OK), you should try it. Here's the kicker--they make their own tartar sauce. This isn't the mayonnaise-consistency nasty stuff you get from the store, they make it in-house, and it is great. It has a good onion-y taste, but it isn't overpowering. I thought I hated tartar sauce until I had their stuff.
Their barbeque is also great, but that almost goes without saying. Bandana's will taste like ash in your mouth in comparison (I cite Barbeque Chicken Nachos from Bandana's as evidence, which is a disgusting concept and even worse execution).
Best Q in Jeff City. Lutz's beats every other bbq restaurant in town. Their ribs are outstanding.
Home made potato chips a la Black and Decker. Tried out the place. Got a kick out of seeing a battery powered drill used to spin the potatoes for cutting into chips. Actually, it was Milwaukee drill, but saying Black and Decker sends the right message and saying Milwaukee would just confuse things.
Had the sampler, which was pretty decent. 1/4 chicken, good sized slice of turkey, some ribs and some beef. took the baked potato as a side and it was HUGE.
they do make their own potato chips.
i agree with the poster who felt that Bandana's did a better job. Lutz is nice and I wish them well, but Bandana's is simply better. Good news - at least Lutz doesn't offer bread and pickles with the BBQ, a RIDICULOUS Kansas City concept.
Good bbq. Lutz's BBQ probably has some of the best St. Louis-style ribs in Jefferson City. I personally love their catfish. They have good food & good service. Don't be discouraged by the fact that you are pulling up to the location in a gas station, there are tables and chairs inside.
Pretty good! Not the best bbq I’ve had but the sides are all really good, their sauce is super good, have great sweet tea and buns. The meat for me is where it misses a little. It’s just OK. The turkey was like lunch meat In my opinion, and the brisket was good but pretty fatty. If the turkey was cut thicker and the brisket was less fatty it would be a lot better! But that’s just my opinion! Overall the workers here are always super friendly and nice. The prices are really high though at about $20 for a sandwich, and two sides which feels like a lot. We will continue to go back though because it’s still good!
I am so heartbroken that Lutz's is no longer in Columbia, but I'm more than happy to make the drive to Jefferson City for my Lutz's fix. The house-made chips are to die for (highly recommend the Cajun and sweet potato chips), the pulled chicken is always perfect, and the buns that they use for their sandwiches are incredible. I'm a big fan of their KC style sauce also. Lutz's is a huge win for central Missouri
Got the two sampler platters. One with the gumbo and the other with fries and baked beans. All of it was fire and the even threw in a big bag of meat scraps for my dog at no charge. Thank very much guys will definitely come back.
Good as usual. Never had a bad meal since they worked out of a trailer in lowes parking lot….
Bar none and by far the BEST BBQ eats in Jefferson City. NOT ONE place can touch the quality and flavor of Lutz's BBQ. The meat is always tender and flavorful. The sides are delicious every single time. I have never been disappointed anytime I have eaten here. I am partial to the brisket and potato salad. But the Cuban is another favorite. Worth the price, and if you do have to wait you will never be disappointed. This is my go to eatery when I cannot decide what I want to eat. I highly suggest you try it out. You will not be disapointed. The chips are also to die for. Made to order and perfect! I cannot say enough good things about Lutz's.
