After watching No Reservations with Tony Bourdain on his new season, we decided to try a BBQ place in KC that we had never been to. Lots of people love Arthur Bryants, Gates, Oklahoma Joes his show show cased other places not a famous as the local spots. His K.C show starts with him dining at WoodYard BBQ. It was... More

My wife and I decided to take a road trip and as a loose sort plan, visit some places seen on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. This was one that just made us smile. This place started out as an actual woodyard to sell wood to people. Finally, someone started taking advantage of the unique charectistics of the woods and started... More

Never would have found this restaurant had it not been for a Living Social deal. We went in March to try it out only because we got a good deal. Before we were done with our meal, we planned to come back when it was warmer. Came back in May and brought some friends along. This time we enjoyed eating... More

Well, if you live in Kansas City it is not just your right, but your obligation to try every kind of BBQ we have to offer. I went here for lunch and tried the brisket sandwich. It was good flavor, thick cut, good smoke to it, and overall a pretty decent sandwich. The BBQ sauce was a little to be... More

This is a little place where you go to a counter to order, grab a table outside and wait a few minutes for staff to deliver it. Its great barbeque at a very reasonable price. The day we were there for lunch, a guy was playing a guitar outside. Very pleasant, low-key music. The pitmaster was right there working too... More

Woodyard Barbecue 6.25.10 lunch. Proprietor: Joe Daly Pitmaster: Mark O'Bryan Outdoor pits and tree shaded tables are in front of a house that has been converted into very wonderful Woodyard Barbecue. Today's special was a sandwich: chopped burnt ends & brisket topped with provolone. I passed on the provolone but accepted the rest of the special. Despite being hard pressed... More

I met a friend at Woodyard for lunch over the holidays. I was more interested in catching up than eating, but this place quickly changed my mind. Since it was my first trip, we sampled a lot of the offerings. I think BBQ chicken is hard to get right. It's usally too dry. The BBQ chicken at Woodyard was the... More

I read a lot of bbq reviews and I'm always perplexed at what passes for quality Q in KC. I'm convicted that I need to be much more specific and quantitative in my reviews of this unique cuisine. With that in mind, I now share my review of Woodyard. On our virgin visit to Woodyard, my wife and I were... More
