What a family, friendly atmosphere with fantastic food, people, and talented musicians! It was my first time and I cannot wait to go back! I enjoyed the burnt end Sammie with fries and Cole slaw and it was delish! I ate almost every bite service was fantastic, wish I remembered her name! She had beautiful tattoos and was sooooo incredibly kind. 100 million percent recommended for an adventure time out with friends/ families /lovers!

We’ll start with the good. The BBQ sundae was amazing. I was a little disappointed it was served in a plastic cup instead of a mason jar (like advertised) and there wasn’t a lot of pulled pork. The pulled pork sandwich was really good and so we’re the BBQ sauces. Kids chicken strips were huge and really good! As for the “fries”, they were dried out and barely warm by the time we got them…which was an hour to get our food. And ended up getting the wrong sides. Server was great and apologetic, but that’s only half the experience. The musicians were amazing, but the music was WAY too loud. Side note. I wouldn’t order a soda unless you’re ready to pay FIVE dollars for one.

Let’s start out by saying if I could give this place 100 stars I would! My friends and I came to Kansas City on a road trip and were blown away by the amazing food and hospitality of the staff here. Our waitress, Sheila, was incredibly kind and gave us recommendations on all of the food we needed to try at BB’s. We all split the king’s combo with the pulled pork, smoked sausage, and pork ribs that were all so tender and flavorful. Thanks to Sheila we discovered that the perfect combination was the mild BBQ sauce together with the peach habanero sauce. We found it really touching that the chef came out to talk with us while we ate. Sheila came to check on us often and when we were finished, she recommended us the fried bread pudding which is now easily one of my favorite desserts I’ve ever had. We packed all of the leftovers up because we didn’t want to waste a bite of any of the platter and even ate the leftovers again for dinner because we loved the food so much. I can’t thank the staff here enough for making us all feel at home and giving us the best Kansas City BBQ experience we could’ve asked for:)

I got the BBQ nachos. Not pictured. 1 bowl of gumbo. They left my roll out. 1 burnt end meal. Bread pudding. Food was delicious. I loved the 3 different sauces they included. It was ready when I got there and they brought it out to me. All my life I’ve grown up in KC and passed by this place. Even lived near here. Never tried it. I definitely will dine in for the experience.

I was here about 10 years ago or so and it was so good I had to bring my girlfriend back to try it. We drove from Minnesota for one night in KC to get bbq and those wings from BB’s Lawnside and it lived up to everything I remembered it being. My girlfriend still talks about the food especially the wings and the pit beans and we will be coming back every couple of years.

Amazing food. Live music and cold beer. What else do you need. Food is just amazing. I can only nit pick because I like skinny cut fries and they have thick, also I like fatty brisket and it’s lean here. 10/10 coming back. Double check the live music because there is a cover charge to eat when the band is here.

It had been a while since I had been to B.B.’s, so I was super excited to get out here again and bring my wife, who had never been. The place was exactly as I remembered it from 10 to 15 years ago, except the deck out front looked new and was enclosed with plastic walls and a roof for the winter. Greeted at the door by staff with a smile as it was held open for us. Open mic with a live band was playing, and the main room inside was packed, so we sat on the deck, which was warm and comfy thanks to the many heaters doing their job! Were quickly met by a waitress and a huge smile. Great service the entire time we were there. The BBQ also seemed to smell and taste just like I remembered and still very tasty! Brisket sliced thin, deli style for sandwiches was just fine on its own, and how I prefer to eat brisket. Sausage, ribs, and burnt ends were all good, with a few different sauces available if you wish. Baked beans are sweet and a little unique, and the huge potato wedge fries were hot, crispy and delicious. Tasty BBQ, beer and live blues with a crowd make for a fantastic time! Do yourself a favor and go visit B.B.’s, one of Kansas City’s all-time classic BBQ joints.

OK no judging but I had already eaten half my smoked Italian sausage sandwich & skillet fries by the time I realized I hadn’t taken a pic of my food. Although the sandwich wasn’t prepared the way I was expecting everything was still good. The hurricane that I ordered w/o a lot of liquor was a nice addition to my meal. But the fried bread pudding that I ordered to go was also amazing. My waitress was super nice & so were some of the other staff members that I encountered. Even ran into an old coworker there. Just an all around great evening there.

Took a visit to BB’s today (6/20/23) and cannot understand how anyone does not rate this place 5 stars.
