| Comments: | Parker's is an unassuming BBQ joint in a shopping
center, nestled between a pizza place and a club. Fantastic BBQ, their "topped chicken" has to be tasted to be believed. Worth your time to check it out. It's west of MO9 on MO45 (about 2-3 miles east of I-435). |

| Favorites: | Sat Prime Rib Special- Can you believe 16oz(half a cow) for only
11.95 |
| Comments: | Great BBQ all the time, but Saturdays are to die for. 16oz of the best prime rib I've ever eaten, with choice of potatos and salad for only $11.95. So tender and lightly smoked, a feast for the price of a taco. |

| Comments: | Have been eating Parkers for years, But due to the smoking policies of Parkville I guess the owner has decided to turn the place into a full blown bar. Not the kind of place that promotes business from all available sources. The removal of profit producing tables in the non-Smoking section and placing 2 pool tables is an obvious signal that they don't want my business or any non-smoker business. I won't return. I guess I'll have to find some sub-par BBQ and live with that. I fear ashes in my take-out |

| Comments: | We hadn't been to Parker's for a long time and was surprised to see pool tables in the dinning room. It was also a mess and it was dirty. We were asked if we had a smoking preference and said we wanted non-smoking ... that was a joke. We were sat next to a half wall by the pool tables and the smoke was rolling over the wall ... yuck. The food wasn't up to Parker's old standard either ... we won't be going back. |

| Comments: | Apparently the owners are looking for a bar crowd instead restaurant business. I want to warn parents NOT to take children there because of the element this has produced. Quality is bad, service is bad. I just don't see any reason to return. I certainly hope the ownership reads these comments and sees that customers do not like what they have done to their business. Profits must be suffering as a result because there wasn't much going on when we were in for the last time. |
