Look, it's far away from downtown KCMO but it's worth the trip. The sausage is great, the ribs are real good, and it feels and smells like a BBQ joint should.

Chris Nixon

Great little barbecue place, the best ribs and fries on the Kansas side of Kansas City!

Carys Rohan Anor

Oh my gosh. I love BBQ and so that'll always be my primary reason for coming here, but I adore sitting outside and watching them smoke the meat. Rounds out the experience perfectly. One of my faves!!

Mike Herman, Jr.

Excellent ribs , and I tell you what else was good: the fries . Plenty of outdoor seating , which works well during this time.

Simon Kuo

Wings are smoky goodness. One basket is plenty. Location is cool--in an old house with lots of outside seating . Nice place to kick back.

Michael C

Kansas City bucket list bbq . Brisket , sausage , ribs and burnt end chili excellence.

Stephen E

If you want delicious, authentic kc BBQ but w/o corporate prices, no one does it better than Woodyard. Try the half pulled pork , half brisket sandwich w cheesy corn + beans. Up there w the Zman sammy!

Scott Baltzell

The sliced brisket sandwiches tasted great and no long wait . Large soda is $2.95. Canned soda is $2.00 each. I would eat here more often if the prices were not slightly on the high side.

Kansas City

As Anthony Bourdain remarked, "it's all about the wood" at this hidden gem . Using apple , cherry and other non-traditional barbecue lumber, the result is a completely original flavor.

John Koster

Very good, fast and easy. Friendly staff . Off the beaten path a bit.

KC Rudolph

Order anything. It's all good.

Zachary South

Burnt end chili is amazing!! The ribs are, in my opinion, the best in the city .

Nicole Stahlecker

Funky spot. I am vegetarian so I had fries , which were great!

Carl Dirks

Come for no frills great BBQ . Chili is divine

Kansas City

This no-frills joint was featured in an all-barbecue episode of "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives." For something different, try the savory wings .

The meat was cold, the ribs and pulled pork tasted like lighter fluid, manager gave me an attitude about the issue. Very bad customer service. Very disappointing I don't recommend.
