The parents of 10 children, the Hartmans lived near Jameson for three years and moved to the Jamesport area last year. Brent grew up in Chillicothe, and Amanda grew up in Platte City.
“We have been cooking for friends, family, and doing barbecue catering for years,” said Amanda.
Most people know the Hartmans for the kettle corn they have sold in the area at festivals and chautauquas; however, their dream has always been to open a barbecue restaurant.
“This is something that we have planned for over a decade, and we are so excited to have the opportunity to share our love of food with others,” said Brent.
The menu will include brisket, ribs, turkey, and pulled pork. They will also have seasonal local produce and fruits, and will continue to sell kettle corn and shaved ice at the depot. Karaoke is planned for Saturday nights.
Brent does most of the cooking and Amanda helps wherever needed.
At one time, the building was a grain depot. The Hartmans have added walls and painted. The entrance is on the northeast side of the building, under the canopy.
Hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
