One of the best and over looked BBQ joints . It is a little small (great outdoor space though. We get take out quite often!

Dolphyn

If you can make it in for brunch on the weekend... Best bacon I've ever had. The smoke it. Melts in your mouth... AMAZING!

Candice Shallenburger

It sounds weird but get the sausage . The best meat they have!! Sweet potato fries are like crack. They have good live music on the back patio on Fridays!

CentralTexas RoadRelics

Drove all the way from Texas to try this BBQ joint , and it was definitely worth it! The moist brisket and the ribs rule!

Jonathan Wright

This is the best BBQ in KC. Don't fret over the menu, there is nothing bad on it, whatever you order will be great!

Cristian D

Pork belly burnt end are as decadent as they come. Pair with another meat are you have something special.

Erin Hanson

Nachos were awesome!! Brisket soup was good as well . The brisket burnt ends left a lot to be desired. Definitely had better. All in all, overpriced and not the best in a town known for awesome BBQ .

Dave Pickerell

Gotta try the "Butt Burger "! Very good Bob-Be-Que. Yes, it IS a shack with limited seating . Don't let that scare you off.

Aaron Goldman

They almost always have sand. W/fries for $4.50 (carry out special). The sand. Is small, but you get a lot of fries to make up for it.

Nick George

Pork burnt ends are decent, but not as savory as they should be. The beans are average. The sauces are great though. Those will make anything taste good.

Larry Slobodzian

Breakfast on the weekends. Order the Biscuits and Gravy with a side of Burnt Ends .

Adam Nigg

Don't miss the fries or whatever special of the day is being cooked up. Don't under estimate a BBQ brunch either.

Robert Norberg

It's hard to measure up to Texas BBQ , but this place does it, and then some! Must check out the cheesy corn .

Bob Specht

Go with lamb ribs and sweet potato fries . ????????????

Joey Little

If you have a healthy appetite, and are trying the Butt Burger , order two. Just one looks like it comes from the Kid's Menu.

Christopher Thomas

Rib special every Sunday. Perfect for two to three people!

Carli Iles

Cheryl Raya
