Trail Boss BBQ, Ashland MO

I have eaten here multiple times and tried several things in the menu…. All of it was amazing!

So, you go in after parking directly in front of the place.convenient, yes? You are then addressed by one of the most charming and courteous people known.she cannot help being nice, that's how she is. Anyway, back to the menu. The card, which is handed to you cordially, with a few questions to get your meal experience rotating, culminates with the time when the eating begins.
Now, beef, chicken, pork.ok. They have all had these things, though you may be pleasantly surprised to know that the taste that they can deliver has some amazing surprises.
Blah, blah, blah, ok-, what's the deal? Go there, be pampered, and find yourself indulging in an activity that awakens the senses, creates the full feeling that is so satisfying, and makes you want to return with the important people in your life. These may be just words; go there, prove me wrong! I dare you.and go on a day when their smoked cheesecake is available.

Good barbecue without leaving Ashland. Edit: And burgers. Edit: and smoked ham sandwiches? !

I got the Fracho, and it was amazing. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw. The pork was so tender. Bre was a really nice waitress and very friendly. Will definitely be returning. I'm going to try the pork steak next visit.

That's the first place I could cut my pork steak with a plastic fork that ought to say quite a bit about the quality of food it was so tender and tasty

Best Fried Mac n Cheese bites I've ever had! It does have a low heat kick to it. Amazing!

Steve makes excellent potato salad! Go on Sunday for a melt in your mouth SO tender you can cut with a fork pork steak! Green beans and mac and cheese are lovely as well. Don't like the baked beans, but you can't be stellar at everything. Brisket and ribs are great too! Support local winning BBQ y'all!

I like supporting mom and pop places but this was a waste of $37. The chicken was seasoned; the spiciness took away from any flavor the meat might have had. Pulled pork was oily and bland. Buns were greasy, slaw didn’t have any flavor, baked beans watery, and the Mac and cheese gelatinous. They forgot to include sauce so we had to go back and get it. What little I ate gave me painful stomach cramps. Never again.

Clean restaurant with homey feel, reasonable prices, and nice staff. Ordered a sampler with brisket, pulled chicken, and ribs; and a pulled pork frachos. The pork rib meat easily pulled away from the bone with a plastic fork, the pulled chicken was probably the best I've ever had, and the brisket was comparable to some of the best places in Texas. The pulled pork frachos (fries sliced thin like nachos) was a mess of deliciousness. All the meats were incredibly juicy and tender. The sweet bbq sauce seemed a little too sweet, but the flavors of the meat did not require any sauce anyway. They have an assortment of homemade desserts. The smoked cheesecake I ordered to go was amazing. I will be returning with friends and family and will consider their catering if I ever host an event.

The BBQ was pretty good. The store could stand some updates for ambiance & experience.
