Description
These are my all time favorite chips, but I've not seen them in forever. They came in a bag with a hillbilly lounging on the front. They had a sweetish taste which is akin to the mequite bbq chips you find now. I'm not sure if they were regional or not.

Wow, I remember Ozark BBQ chips. They definitely had a taste you could never forget. They were the best bbq chips of all time. Yup and I loved the Hillbilly on the front of the bag. I would love to know what happened to Ozark BBQ chips. My mouth is watering for some right now.
those were the best chips and the only ones i have ever just had to have... wish they would start back to making them... they were the best!
Hey, I have been searching high and low for these chips! If you all find any, please let meknow. I think I remember seeing them even as late as 1990's. I grew up in Southern Illinois. We had them all the time. But, I have not seen them in a good while, and I live in Texas now.
where in illinois did you grow up, collinsville here
Hey i grew up in Colinsville too!!! Class of 85.
Ozark chips were THE best!
I grew up in St. Louis and to this day I vividly remember how great those Ozark BBQ chips were. Some chip company should recreate that recipe and they would make a fortune!!! I only remember seeing them as a young boy in the 70's. They had a sweet mesquite flavor and the chips had a light texture that was an awesome combination. I'm 42 now but if I close my eyes I'm back in grade school trading for more Ozark BBQ chips because I ate mine and I want more !! Someone please bring back that product ...I'd buy them by the case.
Im from Thayer Mo. and snacked on those chips throughout the 60s. Sure miss them. Did Lays make them?
Ozark BBQ chips were awesome !! The two double brown bags inside the huge bag. Ohh. I grew up in st. louis but in socal now. I still look for these to this day. But I guess they are gone. The closest thing I can find is "hawaiian chips" luau bbq sweet and spicy chips.
I also grew up in St. Louis and remember these chips. They were great! Now live near Cincinnati and occasionally have to make a trip back to satisy my craving for Imo's pizza. Anyone else remember 'Charles Chips'? They came in a big can. I think they also had pretzels too. If memory serves me they had home delivery of Charles' products--I remember the delivery truck coming and the guy dropping off the cans of chips. And..as a St. Louisan I have to say I went to Parkway North--class of '83.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who's been craving these for the last 15 years. These were our family's favorite. They were sweet and salty and crunchy and spicy. I remember taking the small bags in my lunch in elementary school. So yummy. (Hazelwood Central '95)
OH MY GOSH !!! I thought I was the only person in the world looking for Ozarka BBQ Chips !!! I am from Arkansas and we had them here utill the late 80's. I remember taking them to school for lunch in the early 70's. I am not sure but someone told me once that they were made by Charle's Chips. Which you can still find sometimes.
Hands down the best damn BBQ chip ever. I remember that the package said "hickory smoke flavor" not mesquite. The Hawaiian BBQ chips are similar but not the same. For a while in the 1980's they were reproduced with new packaging under the Chesty's Potato Chips brand, but I haven't found them since.
Thanks and i'm still looking... The charles chip truck came to our house too they were awesome
YESSSSSS!!!!!! I am going crazy. I constantly crave BBQ chips but all the ones I've tried just don't taste right. PLEASE SOMEONE BRING THESE BACK!!!!:)
Yes, I loved Ozark BBQ chips they were my favorite, I grew up in Granite City, and you could get them anywhere around there, but now I live in Mo. and I have even drove for 2 hours, back to G.C. to find them and they are nowhere to be found.
