One of the pleasant surprises I made several years ago was Hoss’s Market located at 1010 Club Village Drive Columbia, MO on the south side of town corner of Nifong and Forum drive. I had seen the building, and heard the name but had no idea that they served food. I assumed that they were an upscale grocery store, selling gourmet food and wine....and they are. But they are also a very reasonable deli. They serve a variety of meats, a variety of breads, salads, vegetables, really quite an extensive menu. I think they are probably best known for their catering, and for the meals busy people can stop and pick up on their way home from work. They also have a wonderful brisket and pulled pork.
It is hard to call it BBQ in the traditional sense when it is served on a French baguette. I really like the brisket. It has a wonderful flavor. I can combine it with a number of different sides. They do have fries, and not just a cheap frozen variety. I am also partial to their ranch pea salad, and the almond chicken salad.
They have a BBQ sauce that is an excellent blend of a tomato sauce with vinegar. I am partial to mustard based sauces, but this is a very nice sauce.
I like the atmosphere, mostly market with high end gourmet food and wine, and no small amount of Mizzou paraphernalia. It is not the normal BBQ restaurant atmosphere, but it does have a limited number of tables and a very professional staff behind the counter.
I would recommend you try Hoss’s Market.
