Their burnt ends are now in my top 3 in KC. Ribs are yum. Wings are super flavorful. And the non-meat sides and dishes are great such as Roots & Fruits .

Albino From About

Went here after already eating but you have to love all the different spaces you can hang out as well as the games that you can play. Not to mention a good selection of beer to enjoy with friends.

Alicia Hunter

This is a great place to meet with friends to have great food and a ton of fun. Sit outside to enjoy the at home feel of a backyard BBQ with great yard games- corn hole , bocce ball , croquet , ping pong

Are you a vegetarian ? If so, you’re in luck! They clearly put a lot of thought and effort into their non-meat dishes. Not a vegetarian ? That’s ok, no one’s perfect. Find one and bring ‘em along!

Ashley Stringfellow

Talk about a great deal! This was only $55 for all this food. The burnt ends are amazing and I was very impressed with the ribs . Overall I recommend this restaurant to all the BBQ lovers out there!

amy ehlers

The Sunday fried chicken is amazing! Better than grandma used to make. And you have to have one of the bourbon cocktails to go with it!

Michael C

Holy Trinity tray, Pickled Pig sandwich , hand cut fries , cheesy hushpuppies and smoked turkey for the boy. Fantastic!!! Easily in my top 3 for burnt ends and all the smoked meats were spot on.

Eric

The best damn burnt ends I've ever had. If you ask nice and they're not too busy, they might even vac-bag them for you to take on your airplane home. Oh and the beer list is real good too.

Bob Specht

As the menu clearly states , this place is about meat. Pulled pork seems to be the speciality, good brisket , but the chicken was a bit dry. Burnt ends were enjoyable, and the sausage had a nice kick.

Good BBQ and Beer . Best place to hangout with friends and have fun. Lots of room unlike other bars and restaurants ! #KC #BBQ

Zachary Cobb

Brisket has good flavor and the sides are adventurous. They do a lot of things well in addition to the good BBQ .

Valerie Garcia

Great barbecue and vegetarian options to keep everyone happy. Lively outdoor area with yard games in the summer and cozy fire pit during the winter.

Theresa O'Leary

They have yummy BBQ , and also a really neat outdoor patio area with yard games . A great place to spend an afternoon or evening.

Brett payne

The jackfruit jackknife sandwich was so dang satisfying. Best faux BBQ I've had. Lots of other great vegetarian options as well .

Jim Herrick

Whomp platter is where it's at. We enjoy the fritters and chicken nuggets as appetizers , too!

Kimberly Duncan

The pickled pig sandwich is awesome, esp if you add the tillamook cheese ! I also really liked the ricochet cocktail - the whiskey is subtle!

Kari Kallaher

The pulled pork and baked beans are phenomenal! This is my new go to place in Westport right now. Great beer list too.

Paige C

Brunch offerings are bomb. Fried green tomatoes benedict is yummy. I also like the Fire and Ice cocktail

Chris Jones

Great atmosphere. I love the outdoor area and the design in general. The CBGB was pretty good, a little pricey for my taste.

Thurgood Coats

Love the atmosphere of the place. Service is okay, but the food is top rated. I got the you pick 3 and loved every minute of it.

Donovan

#3 best Fried pickles in KC. Pulled pork/brisket combo sandwich is fantastic.

Some pretty good ribs here, get the Whoomp Platter and sample it all.

Great weekend brunch spot . Try the wake and bacon omelette or the biscuits and gravy .

Solid choice for BBQ . Very good burnt ends ! Definitely in my top 3.

Don't let all the meat talk fool you, there are tons of great vegetarian options if that's your style!

Brisket in Kansas City has been redeemed at Char Bar... with a cold Stag, life is good

Great sauce and beans. Also recommend the sweet carolina sandwich .

CBGB burger will change your life. Also the butterscotch custard !

Hoping Ive shown up on a rare night, because everyone working here is either rude or clueless. I've been disrespected 3+ times, and we're watching the game on cell phone...nobody will change tv . BOO!

Maria Pham

Burnt Heaven! Best BBQ sandwich ever!

Surprisingly good barbecue . The CBGB burger is great. Kinda loud , though.
