Our Process
We have been mastering the art of barbequing for 37 years. Come on in
and try our "Legendary" Bar-B-Que. Dexter Bar-B-Que is the "Real
Deal"....Genuine Slow Pit-Smoked Missouri Bar-B-Que - High quality meats slow
smoked (briskets up to 15 hours) in our wood burning Bar-B-Que
pits. Experienced Bar-B-Que cooks and those who understand the
mouth-watering goodness of real Bar-B-Que know, too, the meaning of commitment.
Great Bar-B-Que doesn't just happen: it takes slow, even heat, the right blend of
smoke, seasoning, sauce and patience before the savory flavor of meat is
revealed. To be sure, commitment to the details matters. And our
pits, known in the industry as the Porsche
of the pit world, allows us to tend to the details (see
Southern Pride for more information).
Our pits use fireplace-size logs to create that distinctive genuine flavor,
aroma, color and texture; and the special convection air system recirculates the
smoke and heat throughout the chamber, cooking every piece of meat slowly and
uniformly, assuring that genuine Bar-B-Que flavor.
Folks, if you're paying for Ribs, Beef Briskets, Whole Chickens, and Smoked
Turkey, that are cooked in a little oven back in the kitchen at some hamburger
joint, you just don't have all the information. Read On!
We understand you can't wind up with the best-tasting Bar-B-Qued ribs if you
don't start with the best quality raw product. We use the back rib, and unlike cheaper quality cuts of pork ribs you find in most places, this rib is the
best available. Dexter Bar-B-Que takes it a few steps further to insure
the ribs you get are the most tender and meatiest possible. Each side of
ribs goes through a special 3-stage preparation process; hand trimming and
spicing to ensure consistency.
And we make sure our side of ribs is more than 3 pounds, rather than
the commonly used smaller sides. Also we discovered that there is
no other way to smoke good Bar-B-Que than to first hand rub each slab with a
blend of special spices, then slow smoke 'em in a pit of smoldering
hickory. This is the time-honored way, the traditional way....our way.
And our ribs are so good right out of the smoker that you don't need to smother
them in "cover-ups"....you'll definitely taste the difference of a Dexter
Bar-B-Que rib versus our competitors. And we insists that the same
attention and caring that goes into our ribs, goes into the beef, pork, turkey,
chicken, side fixins' and desserts. Our commitment to quality doesn't end
with high quality products, but actually starts with the commitment to train our
staff so that they can serve you the best dang Bar-B-Que in the country.
Do you think that one of those chain hamburger joints trying to sell Ribs and
Bar-B-Que can do that?.
All Dexter Bar-B-Que restaurants provide convenient drive-thru or call ahead for
pick up service. And if you need some Bar-B-Que catering....Dexter
Bar-B-Que's catering is perfect anytime, any place.
Y'all cum on in and eat sum....
Our Mission
To provide our guests the best tastin' Bar-B-Que experience you can find, at a
fair price, through the combination of quality food, menu selection, friendly,
quick customer service and a clean, welcoming environment.
We want our customers to "crave" our product and seek it out for its taste...
Company Profile
The founder of Dexter Bar-B-Que, Inc. started learning the business as a
youngster, working the pits of a local restaurant in the evening hours
after school and weekends.
These years of being at "ground-level" enabled him to
master the art of the Bar-B-Que process....smoke, meat and seasoning.
After years of cookin' and tastin' and having an entrepreneur spirit he
decided he had to share his special, "smokeology" talent with other folks.
So,
in 1983 Dexter Bar-B-Que was officially founded as a mobile Bar-B-Que service
specializing in grocery store promotions and catering. This allowed
Dexter-Bar-B-Que, Inc. to build a significant reputation, over a large
geographic area, for qualitative, great-tasting Bar-B-Que.
This business success evolved into a 32-seat physical location in Dexter,
Missouri in 1991. Then a 76-seat location was added in Sikeston, Missouri
in 1994, followed by an upgrade of the Dexter location to 90-seats in 1996.
In 1999, the Dexter location moved to a new site with 146 seats. Finally,
to capitalize on the ever growing market demand for our great-tasting Bar-B-Que,
a new multi-million dollar, 244-seat location was built in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri in 2002. In 2005, the Sikeston location was fully upgraded and
modernized, including the addition of a drive-thru facility.
Customer acceptance has been proven and the quality and taste of the product is
widely known and sought after. Regular and repeat customers cross many age
demographics, and families are frequent diners. And this continued success
has led to the first expansion outside Missouri. Our newest 80-seat
location opened in March 2006 so we could provide sum lip smackin' Bar-B-Que to the
folks in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Dexter-Bar-B-Que's history of performance, and providing quick, high-quality
Bar-B-Que food service, is the model that we take pride in; and one that we will
continue to improve to make sure that our loyal (and future) customers get the
best good eatin' experience available and keep comin' back for more...
