Thank you for giving an update on the building, I hope they build it back. I love BBQ probably more than any other food. After first seeing those pictures of the food I was thinking of making a trip up there just for this place. I am glad I read down the rest of the post otherwise I would have made a trip for nothing. Any new updates on this establishment?

Some sorrowful news to report!
Bar-B-Q Pit Stop destroyed by fire Sunday

Monday, March 30, 2009

By GEOFF RANDS/Staff writer at The Marshall News

The Bar-B-Que Pit Stop was severely damaged by fire Sunday afternoon, March 29. Fire officials believe an unattended deep fryer was the cause.

(Eric Crump/Democrat-News)

Firefighters received a 911 call from the owner of Bar-B-Q Pit Stop at 3:57 p.m. Sunday, March 29.
When they arrived on the scene at 3:59 p.m., they found the building engulfed in flames. Firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze, which they did before returning to the fire station, ready for the next call, at 7:34 p.m.

The owner of the popular restaurant stated that he turned on the deep fryer and then went home for an unspecified period of time before returning to find his building on fire.

The structure was estimated by firefighters to have sustained $70,000 worth of damage, making it a total loss.

Damage to the building's contents was estimated at $100,000, four-fifths of firefighters' total estimated value of the contents, $125,000.

Buddy-
Marshall is a few miles north of I-70, and roughly 80 miles (Exit 78) from Kansas City. The place looks great! My problem is I am usually heading East or West on I-70, and seem to program our eating for KC BBQ.

NoTalent, A lot of small towns in the MidWest haven't reached the point where zoning becomes an issue. This may be the situation in Marshall...or as you say they may have been 'Grandfathered' (Literally!) I'd love to have a place like in my rural community that that I could walk to !!!

This is interesting. A restaurant in a house in a residental neighborhood.
Was it built pre-zoning laws, or do they not have zoning laws.

Either way, It's old skool man. It's happenin'.

Those meats look awesome, especially that pulled pork sandwich. I don't often get to MO, but when I do I will keep it in mind.
