Had supper here on 6.11.2025, and met a former coworker, her husband, her kids, and her in-laws. The company was amazing, the food was Delicious, and the service was outstanding.This is definitely a small hometown greasy spoon restaurant where people gather and you are considered family. The waitress that served our party was Spectacular and her recommendations for the blackberry cobbler was Awesome! The dessert was big enough to feed three people and it tasted Incredible. If I am ever in Lamar, Missouri again, I will definitely stop here for food. I Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling through this area of Missouri.

I had the ribs and they were absolutely delicious — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Easily some of the best I’ve had in a long time. On top of that, the service was excellent. Our server Brandi was kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!

We met my son half-way to pick up our grandkids and bring them home for a week. This was a fantastic place for a meal together: great service, delicious food, and a fair number of locals who welcomed us warmly. Great experience - I'm sure we'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!

My wife had the open hot beef sandwich, she said it was very good. I had the burnt ends, they didn't come Sauced which is good. I wouldn't say they had a whole lot of flavor but they were tender. The beans and the potato salad were legit. I had their classic barbecue sauce which was decent. My wife had the strawberry rhubarb pie she said it was good. I had the peach cobbler it was not so great to be honest.

They threw down some really good grub at Tractor's BBQ. We got right in and sat on the bar side, great svc, brisket was delicious and I loved the fried okra! I will be back!
