Gettin' Basted, Barbecue restaurant in Branson, United States.
Gettin' Basted is a barbecue restaurant on the Branson Strip in Missouri, focused on slow-smoked meats cooked with traditional methods. The menu covers pulled pork, smoked brisket, ribs, burgers, wings, and salads.
The place started in 2012 as a competition barbecue team before moving into a food truck and eventually opening a permanent spot on the Branson Strip. That path from competition cooking to a full restaurant still shapes how the kitchen approaches its craft.
The cooking style draws from Ozarks barbecue traditions, where real wood and coals do the work over many hours. This approach gives the smoked meats a flavor that is hard to replicate with faster methods.
The restaurant sits along the main strip, which makes it easy to spot when driving or walking through town. Arriving a bit before the lunch or dinner rush helps avoid a wait, as the place draws steady crowds throughout the day.
Before the restaurant had four walls, the team behind it was winning barbecue competitions, which is not the usual starting point for a dining spot. That background in competitive cooking is part of why the smoked pork dishes in particular draw repeat visitors.
