A barbecue franchise is moving into the former Tumbleweed Restaurant location on East State Street.
Bandana’s Bar-B-Q, 5494 E. State St., tentatively plans to open on July 14, according to the St. Louis-based company. Tumbleweed closed in November.
The chain has 27 other locations in Missouri, Iowa and Illinois listed on its Web site, with more coming in Kansas and Indiana. Bandana’s menu includes platters of barbecued pork, beef, chicken and turkey with sides of corn on the cob, coleslaw and baked beans.
Bandana’s application has passed through the city’s Liquor Advisory Board and Codes and Regulations Committee. The plan is likely to be read at City Council next week.
The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, according to the application. Visit bandanasbbq.com for more information.

This is one of our favorites from our hometown, St. Louis! It’s a great addition to Rockford’s dining choices. And it’s not another chain — it’s homegrown from MO, much like Machine Shed is from this area.
