Bandana's -b-q Terre Haute, In

Worst waitress ever! There were only people at 2 other tables, so not busy. After we were sat at our table we waited about 15 mins before our waitress came over. She kept forgetting our order as we were giving it, had to keep repeating it. Our food took about 30 mins. After eating for a few minutes, everyone needed refills. We hadn't seen her anywhere since dropping off our food. We then see her come out of the kitchen and go to the restroom where she stays for 20 mins. We couldn't even finish eating without having something to drink with it. When she came out, she goes over and starts talking with other staff. She finally makes her way over to us and we just asked for boxes and sauce containers and the check. She comes back with a box and a sauce lid, no container. We cut our losses and paid at this point. It's sad that we feel forced to tip 18% for bad service. A tip should be earned!

One of my favorite restaurants in the Haute! Food was delicious as always, I enjoyed the Rib Dinner tonight with their delicious potato salad and legendary barbecue baked beans! Our server Tera was spectacular and made us feel right at home with her smiles and kindness. Spread the word, I want to see this place packed next time I come to visit!!

Always out of the meat we go went for 2 days in a roll and out of most meat. We took our business across the hwy and so glad we did. We probably will not try this place again.

Love Bandana’s in Evansville as they seem to have a perfect operation and are ALWAYS packed and there are long lines. Terre Haute is just ok as it seems they are never busy and the food for seem to match Evansville’s. I think the Terre Haute should make a visit down to Evansville and watch how they do things. Evansville Bandana’s location compares to Terre Haute’s Texas Roadhouse where waitresses happily greet you as you come in and are always smiling. You don’t get that same feel at Bandana’s Terre Haute. It may be the location, but every time we go there are hardly anybody there and no long lines of people wanting to come into this place. We definitely don’t want them to close, but it seems they are nowhere near other Bandana locations/atmosphere/food quality.

I gave Bandanas 5 stars for their effort. On a completely indulgent Monday night, they exceeded expectations with their ribs! The staff was very friendly and served up a delicious plate of smoked pulled pork. The sides of green beans and baked beans were more than satisfying, and the sweet potatoes were thinly sliced and beautifully presented. I also tried the fried catfish in cornmeal crust, which while not the best I've had, hit the spot for a craving. The inside was moist and the outside was very crispy. Overall, Bandanas is a great spot for those in the mood for some good BBQ. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful. I was not paid to say that - I genuinely enjoyed my experience.
