The business is a family-owned operation that has been in the Kehde family for four generations. The history begins with Ed Kehde, who opened Dog N' Suds in 1955. After his son John returned from the war, the pair opened a barbecue restaurant to pursue their shared passion. That tradition passed to Roger Kehde, the third generation, who currently works to maintain the family standard. Roger shares his knowledge with his son, Lakin Kehde, the fourth generation, who is preparing to take over the business. The restaurant is situated in an old train car on a former railroad line, a feature that adds a unique historical element to the dining experience. Daily specials rotate through the week, including posh specials on Wednesdays, tenderloin on Thursdays, catfish on Fridays, and prime rib on Saturdays and Sundays. The team handles barbecue catering for functions ranging from church events to family reunions. Rural Missouri featured the restaurant in its January 2012 issue.
