Sugar Tree Bar-B-Q in Galena Missouri is world class fare!

Our daughter's best friend was allowed to work here to help her raise support for her upcoming mission trip to Nicaragua and so we went to support such a worthy cause. Talk about pleasant surprises, we found great food, fun atmosphere and local friendliness that is hard to find at Sugar Tree BAR-B-Q.

Supporting local fund raisers is not unique to this family business either as they are the ones who provided the support for the local polar bear plunge benefitting the Special Olympics a couple weeks ago.

This portable cooker was built by oldest brother Greg 20 years ago and his son Thomas is the chief cook and bottle washer for the family business that is truly so friendly they make you feel like family too.

Steve Davenport is the owner who loves to cook and his family from Tennessee are celebrity connected trophy winning Barbeque Kings from way back. Humble as they are they speak with pride as they tell of the contests they won with their Dad and the events they catered for stars like Jerry Lee Lewis and others.

Naturally, because they have a normal southern sense of humor their most obvious feature is the security camera mounted over the old wood stove that keeps the place warm in the winter months.

Smoked turkeys and hams are regular fare and in the summer you better put your order in for week-end ribs early in the week or you will usuallly miss out as everybody around from Branson to Galena in the Table Rock Lake area knows this is where to go for world-class BBQ!

Thanks Audrey, loved that too, most unique security system I have seen since I don't know when:)

Love the security camera idea, Steve... and I'm just guessing they cook up some mean BBQ in that portable cooker.

Kathy and Jesse they are the best you could find anywhere, matter of a fact I would honestly say they would be worth the 48 hr drive for you to get here, just call in your order first cause they stay busy!

Sounds like a really great place to eat.  And you have to love when a local business goes out of their way to help support kids.  And I too love that security camera.  Just awesome.
