This one was an absolute winner, redeemed KC BBQ for me after the last stop had me doubting. Got the sampler with burnt ends and ribs. They even let me substitute another type of sausage for the turkey it comes with, so that made it the perfect selection for my preferences. Really great value for the price on top of the food being fantastic. The spicy sauce was just right and helped really top it all off well. Both polish and jal/cheese sausage were my favorite with ribs right behind them. Burnt ends were really good but could use a bit more smoky flavor for my taste. Brisket and pulled pork were solid but the trend of lean, thin brisket in KC continues. TX BBQ aficionados just be aware, but...
If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. I swear this was life changing KC BBQ and the cheesy corn? I've had multiple dreams about it since eating it this past Sunday. Leftovers? Incredible. This is the BEST BBQ in KC (and I've tried almost all of it). Even the bread that you get with your meal was delicious. I CANNOT wait to go again soon. The service was so fast and everyone was super friendly. The prices were right on where other places around town are charging but the portions are bigger. I went around the office Monday talking about my BBQ experience like a kid telling everyone what they got for Christmas. I'll see you soon, Slaps.
Ribbons are fleshy and juicy, but not fat. The baked beans are spicy sweet but not particularly smokey and thick. Brisket was clean, not over marble. Mac n cheese was fantastic. The sweet BBQ sauce was casual, but really good. Wait the middle line. Pulled pork was hot and tasty, no sauce crushed. Coke products.
It was like a new place as some of the established KC BBQ spots, but still amazing. Was my first KC BBQ spot where I've ever eaten, and it set the standard quite high (I eat at Joe's, Arthur Bryant's and Q39 during my trip to KC). Burning, ribs and sides were all great. Get what you want, it's safe.
