Tractor's Bbq And Grill

Got the loaded potato when visiting my dad from out of town. I'm back in CA now and missing this place! 😭 if you are reading this, go get some good food in my (temporary) absence. Oh Tractors BBQ...I'll be back!!

UPDATE: 10/28/2022.
I stopped in after 8 PM and got my meal to go even though I had time to eat it there. The young woman heard me say I had a room at the motel, so she asked if I needed utensils for the food. I like that kind of attention to detail and thoughtful service.

My husband and I were traveling South a different way than we usually go. We stayed at the hotel off this exit. The staff there told us about Tractor's. Our server was wonderful, and we got to talk to her and other staff because it was late and most people had eaten and gone.

Our server recommended the Big Baler and Little Baler. So, even though it sounded like it would be a mistake, it wasn't. Each offering, from the potato, meat, baked beans, and coleslaw kept their distinct flavor.

Our ticket for the two balers and two drinks was less than $20.00! We liked this restaurant so much, we came back home the same way. And, the dessert both times was wonderful!

Well, I guess Lamar has a restaurant that compares to it's football team. When you get out the bigger cities in Missouri like Springfield, St. Louis, KC, or even Joplin, you never know what you're going to get. In Lamar, you get Tractors BBQ and Grill.
I had the Pulled Pork and Brisket sandwich and fries. Both meats were top notch. My test for smoked meats is, do you need sauce? In Tractors BBQ's case, you don't!
I'm not in that area much. But when I am, I'm headed straight to Tractors!

This is an old gas station/convenient store turned full on restaurant and bar. Totally cool atmosphere, great staff, and really good food. From breakfast to dinner, you have your choice.

Ready for a drink to close out the day, step over to the bar side, and unwind.

What a gem to find on the way to Michigan.

First time eating here.
We were able to get seat right away. Waitress was extremely friendly & very helpful.

1 of us got the French Dip... it was an AMAZING sandwich & got potato chips, which were delicious!
I got the Philly Cheese & it was a AWESOME sandwich... & got the fries, which were delicious!

This was a phenomenal lunch.

Driving through and dinner was so good the first night that we stayed another day so we could go again for lunch the next day. Great service both times. Great pulled pork, burnt ends, sausage, chicken strips, and smoked turkey. Sauces are at the table and are all delicious. We're from up north, so I wasn't used to the potato salad as it wasn't tangy with mustard or pickles. BBQ beans were quite zesty, and husband loved them. The buns are HEAVENLY, and you should eat them right away because they're warm and soooo fresh when you get them. Even the pies were perfection - husband got strawberry rhubarb, which was neither too tart nor too sweet. Lemon meringue had like 4 inches of meringue, and the lemon part was so lemony! Hearts for eyes about this place, highly recommend!

Gas station turned restaurant...?! What a unique place! Food was really good and the prices are beyond reasonable. Staff was very sweet. Definitely worth the stop off of the highway even though it's about two miles down; Go here and not one of the fast food joints!

Food and service was excellent...great atmosphere...

Loved it, best burnt ends I've had in quite awhile, fried green beans, yum. Next time, I'm going back for a big cinnamon roll or dessert!

Delicious! Lots of great menu items to choose from! Moderately priced. The pecan pie was AMAZING! We'll be back!

My Daughter and I just needed a place to stop while we where driving from Florida to Nebraska. We wanted BBQ and thought that we would try the place down from where we got gas. To out it all into one word "Great" between the two of us we tried three of there meats and they are great.

Perfect. Simply Perfect. That Sweet Tea was spot on! Wonderful food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. In case you were wondering..."Lemon Merengue"🥰

I ate here for the first time yesterday. The food was excellent. I had pulled pork and sliced brisket. Both were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely eat here next time I'm in town

Delightful surprise! We were traveling and pulled off the interstate for a stop and decided to eat too. We saw the full parking lot and figured it must be good and it was! This place had delicious food, fantastic service, was cute and clean. Definitely 5 stars!

Great staff, and an awesome meal. We had the shredded beef sandwich and fries special. So, so good with sauted onions. I couldn't even finish mine. The iced tea was awesome too!

The food and staff were great. We had pulled pork sandwich and the 2 meat combo. Then for dessert I had the bread pudding which was out of this world good. Well at least for me. The meats were all tender. We will be going back again. The fries as an app with cheeses and bacon were good as well.

This is worth a stop if you're driving by on the interstate, it really is. Take the extra 5 minutes.
I've been four times and the food all ranges from pretty good to great. My family eats there all the time, that's why I know about it.

Hadn't been back in a long time and today's visit reminded us why we love this place. Deep smoked pulled pork and super savory baked beans were a perfect quick meal. Shelley's hands-on, personal service adds a down home charm that's rounds out the dining experience. No time for amazing dessert, but we will be back!

First time there but a great place to eat and relax. Food and service was excellent

Wonderful staff and great food. Been there a few times before gets better every time I stop.
