Biffle’s Barbeque
103 NE 2nd Street, Concordia, Mo 64020
I was by Biffle's a little after the first of the year, and they had a note on the door that they were closed. I was not clear if this was a short closing or a permanent closing. It is certainly not my information to spread, so I am a little worried that I might have it wrong. Still if it is going to close, I don't want to let it go unacknowledged.
Biffle's was a main stay of I70 since 1983. Located at Concordia it was midway between Columbia and Kansas City. At one point in my career I was located not very far from it. In fact I was in that area when it opened. Unfortunately it was also a time in my career when my salary and family obligations did not leave me much disposable income, so I was not a frequent visitor. Over the years as I moved around north Missouri I often found myself traveling by Biffle's. I tried to organize my time so that I could stop by a couple of times a year. It became kind of a standard against which to compare other BBQ.
It was a nice family restaurant. They had a large menu, and all of it was good. The service was helpful, but not overwhelming. They could be very busy on weekends and when I70 was carrying a lot of traffic.
I can't believe they would be closing, but if true I will surly miss them!
