We walked in on St Patrick's day before the parade, everything was great. Looked at all the wingding trophies and awards from other competitions, checked out the sauces. I was ready to throw down on some awesome BBQ. I'm not going to throw anyone under the bus here but damn, wings were leftover and resaused. My half chicken was eatable. The sides of pit beans were awesome. The pulled pork sandwich was too dry, even with more sauce. I will be back to try once more.

My baked potato was cold. I had to ask them to heat it up. Our waitress said but your plate is warm. She finally re microwave it again. The cheese on top was rubber. We had to get up an find her to refill our drinks. There were only 2 tables with people. The other table had a different waitress.
Delicious BBQ. I had the full rack and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. With were enough for two meals and were delicious! Service was very friendly. We will be back.

There are quite a number of BBQ places in the Lake of the Ozarks. I consider Half Sauced as one of the better ones.Prices are reasonable so I consider Half Sauced to be one of the best for the price. Facility is clean and atmosphere is okay but nothing exceptional. However, I have yet to have eaten table decorations so would rather pay for the food. What you get is a good, nutritional meal at a good price. If you enjoy BBQ, this is one to put on your list.Half Sauced is locally owned and locally operated.

Stopped in for lunch with a co-worker. I am sorry to say it was the worst BBQ I have paid for. Not sure if it was because it is off season for tourist but the meat was like it had been cooked days or weeks ago. Brisket had the look of leather and the ribs basically had not taste. I try BBQ most places I travel during work trips and this had to be my biggest disappointment. With the ratings I saw and positive reviews I really expected better.

We stopped in for a late lunch with family. The food was delicious and nicely presented. Our waitress McKenzie was super nice.
A great, casual BBQ restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we got except for the baked beans. We were looking forward to them, but they were SO oversmoked that they were inedible to us. I am sure some people like them that way so, to each his/her own. We got the sampler platter of meats, a pork steak, spoonbread, fries, and coleslaw. We also got the mayo-based coleslaw, which was good but we didn't notice the spice mentioned in the menu. The service was great and the waitress was really accommodating when we had a sort of last-minute request. We got to experience some foods that are not common in our area and enjoyed the overall experience. If we are back in the area, we would not hesitate to go back.
We came here for lunch while Christmas shopping. My wife loves BBQ and this place was a winner! We got the Half Sauced Sampler Platter to split between the two of us with a side of fries and baked beans. There was more than enough food for the two of us! Only side note is the baked beans had a very bold smoke flavor. That will be great for some, but may be too much for others, like my wife. We will be back!

Good food even though it was utterly deserted at 5:30. We were worried! But we did like the food (burnt ends and pulled pork). Good choice of sauces.

Great did and service. Both pulled pork and beef brisket were great! Prices were fair. Sweet corn bread and creamy coleslaw were very good too.
