Nash PleasantSeptember 10, 2018It’s not one of the classic KC establishments, but it’s the best cue in town. The brisket and burnt ends are on another planet
NatalieJune 22, 2016Who runs out of main menu items at 7 on a weekend? Have they never experienced a weekend rush before? The small piece of brisket I tried was delicious. But they didn't have enough to make a meal.
Matt FeyerabendMay 25, 2015The new kid on the block might have the best BBQ in all of KC. Burnt ends that just melt in your mouth!
Fabulous find. Great farm-to-table, cozy atmosphere. Will be a favorite going forward.
Mike PetersApril 26, 2018Great short ribs, delicious brisket, onion straws, cold slaw with apples, great beans.
Susan WellfordAugust 8, 2014The pulled pork sandwich was crazy good! Hard for a new BBQ place to stand out in a BBQ town, but they have done it!
Chris MiciekJuly 19, 2017Phenomenal food from the beef and spare ribs to the burnt ends to the variety of sides.
Rachel BindelAugust 13, 2016Everything we had was amazing! Don't miss this if you are in Kansas City.
Kendall ChadwickSeptember 15, 2017Triple threat sandwich was one of the best bites of BBQ that I have ever had.- Quendy SweeneyDecember 30, 2018The brisket with burnt ends and a rib are the best choice on the menu!

Brian KimmelOctober 29, 2021I had the brisket, it was tender, moist, and flavorful. Everything here is excellent.
Brent GatewoodAugust 18, 2015Pulled pork with Zesty sauce - fantastic! Great fries, spicy ketchup. A must!
Erin GuthrieMay 18, 2014Ohmygod. Pulled pork with appleslaw, homemade mac n cheese with crumb topping... I'm in love.
Zeb YokoSeptember 6, 2015Brisket burger is fantastic. Slightly smaller portions than other places, but more complicated flavors
Jason GreenJuly 11, 2017Burnt ends are the best! Don't forget about the pulled pork...get both you won't be disappointed!
Rudy GomezJune 24, 2023This place is much more formal than most of the other bbq joints, but it's phenomenal!
One of Kansas City's best. Try the judges plate to get a good sampling of all they have to offer.
MatthewAugust 10, 2014BBQ Chicken was great, along with the brisket and short ribs. Order the Judges Plate!
Shelley Handler SimonMarch 18, 2016The brisket and ribs were great! Actually we didn't have anything we didn't like!
The white bean cassoulet is a great side dish and the wings spend time in the smoker!
ZiggyApril 18, 2014Thank goodness for the food. The only way it should take 2 hours to eat bbq for dinner is when it's 6pm, 80° on a Friday at Oklahoma Joe's.
Jennifer HuffmanMay 16, 2014Try the burnt end burger and macaroni n cheese. Nice atmosphere and wonderful smells!
Jake RileyNovember 10, 2017The ribs are where it’s at!!! I didn’t care much for the Brisket, Sausage, or the Mac N Cheese. My server was also sub par. You could tell she didn’t want to be there.
Stephanie SimmsAugust 17, 2014Overall meats were very good. Sides were average. Portions seemed small for kc bbq. Everything was tasty but with all the other options I don't think this would be my pick.
Gail JonesDecember 3, 20162Go guys work very hard to get your carry out as fast as they can. Chop chop!!!
