Hosted 20 people for a luncheon and they were convenient. What a bonus that the ribs were so "KC" fantastic! It is old school, go thru a line, pay, then eat. Successful lunch, thank you very much.

I have had pretty much everything on their menu, since I eat there about every 2-3 weeks, and I believe this is the best BBQ place in Kansas City. I think the sliced pork with cheesy corn and fries is the best thing on the menu. The burnt ends are just a bit too dry for me and the beans... More

We love the baked beans -- always have and always will. The BBQ sauce on the meats is not a sweet sauce which we like since we're trying to cut sugar from diet.

The restaraunt has a drive though (fantastic!) and my husband and I drove through on a road trip we were on (going back to St. Louis from Independence, MO). I thought they were a bit pricey, but their food was really fantastic. We each had a pulled pork sandwich with potato salad as a side, and an order of fried... More

Food is great & love the sauces! The prices seem to climb with every visit, though, and it will be hard to choose this over nicer, sit down, barbecue places in KC in the future. Wood paneling makes me a little claustrophobic- the inside of this restaurant is the same as when I graduated in the 80's :) Glad they... More

I have never actually eaten in the restaurant but I have had the pleasure a time or two to have their food catered or purchased at our local grocery store during an event. Just the right amount of sweet and sassy in the barbeque sauce.

Beans are great, I take to all our family gatherings. Meat by the pound and supportive of local kids. Good community partner and excellent food. Smell the wood smoke bar-b-q for miles. Come in and try.

I love the rustic atmosphere, the service is always friendly, without being pushy, which makes me nervous. And the food never disappoints me. The biggest problem I have is deciding what to order, I love it all!

Passing through Kansas City, MO again and had to stopped for some BBQ but traffic was horrid. Figured a few exits outside city limits would give me some decent BBQ and I was not disappointed. It was SOOOO GOOD! I devoured everything on my plate, even the baked beans and baked beans are not my favorite thing. These beans were... More

Friendly service and great sides (baked beans, cheesy corn, wedge cut fries, Cole slaw...) but the BBQ was just average to poor. My burnt ends were completely charred through and impossible to chew, ribs were very fatty... On our next visit to the Kansas City area we will look elsewhere for good BBQ.
