This place is great, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is cool. There is an outdoor okay area, and a parking garage that’s free. The burnt heaven is such a good sandwich. I highly recommend getting the jalapeno corn bread muffins, and putting the butter, jelly, and honey on it. The fried pickles are great, the Mac and cheese is such a full portion with the burnt ends. You also need to get the bread pudding cause it’s great.

This place was AMAZING! The food did not disappoint. We came from Oklahoma City to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and this was one of the places on his list.

Very good bbq. Tender burnt ends, creative pit beans. The biggest impression on me was the excellent service from the staff. I sat at the bar and felt welcomed and they genuinely wanted to know how I enjoyed my meal. They seem to have good relationships with regulars there at Happy Hour and want everyone to be enjoying their experience. Definitely check this place out in KC.

We stumbled into this place by chance, it’s right around the corner of the comedy club we went to for a date night. Fantastic barbecue, there was no wait but the place was pretty busy.

We were hungry for some KC BBQ and decided to stop in for the first time. The restaurant atmosphere is great and we were seated immediately. The food & beer was fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. While the sandwiches were priced well but the sides are overpriced imo. $6-12 for a side on top of the sandwhich is too expensive. The sides were good to be fair but this place can get pretty pricey. Overall we enjoyed the meal and got exactly what we wanted.

Amazing barbecue place! The hushpuppies were the best I’ve ever had! I had the CBGB and it was really tasty! My husband had the brisket cheese steak and it was also delicious! Their French fries are amazingly seasoned and are a must try! Service was great, the staff is very polite and efficient, we will definitely be back!

Amazing food… I mean top notch, the Mac and Cheese, burnt ends, and the ribs SLAPPED. Can’t forget, the Peach Bread pudding really topped it off! Bryan stopped by our table and picked up great conversation and made us feel at home. Our server, Nick, was also phenomenal!

The Whomp! Platter is the selection of all barbecue smoked meats and it feeds at least 3 people. The broccoli bacon salad tastes great. Potato salad is so delicious and creamy.
