One of the best barbecue experiences ever. Tried pretty much all of the meats, and the ribs were the best, but everything was amazing. The nice touch was offering you a beer once you got in the front door as you wait in line coming from outside.. where there is also a line. The patio seating seemed busy, but it moved pretty fast, so we had no problem, finding a place to sit. Highly recommended.

Our uber driver recommended Slaps to us while visiting Kansas City, MO. We got there before they opened a line was already forming. We were happy to wait. Once the doors opened it flowed very smoothly.. and it was definitely worth it! I highly recommend.

Can’t wait to go back to KC so I can eat here again. Line was out the door on a week day lunch break but the wait was worth it. Ribs and Brisket were seriously awesome. Loved the cheesy corn but the beans were too sweet for me.

My wife and I ate at Slap’s BBQ just after Christmas 2022. Southwest Airlines left us stranded in Memphis during their holiday meltdown and we ended up driving our rental car back to Colorado. Slap’s BBQ was, by far, the best part of the trip!

Slap’s was the best BBQ we had on our 4-day weekend trip to KC. The brunt ends and the brisket were exceptional. The potato casserole and slaw went well with the bbq. Excellent beer selection and they had quite a few local draft options. The patio was perfect. Loved the quick service!

We had a pretty long road trip to try some amazing bbq… we were extremely satisfied with our decision to try Slaps! Not only was the food delicious but the staff was super friendly! The bartender even gave Michigan a nice shout out to help us feel welcome! I highly recommend stopping in and getting some great food with a smile for a good price too!

Tbh probably one of the better BBQ locations around. I drove over 45 mins just to try a full slab of ribs, I was not disappointed. The rib dinner is perfect for two individuals. I would highly recommend this location to anyone visiting KC or the surrounding area.

One of the best BBQ experiences I’ve had in a while. It’s not trying to be anything that it isn’t. I had The Cattleman with fries and cheesy corn. While the brisket isn’t the absolute best I’ve ever had (I grew up in Texas, and it’s on the dryer side) the sausage and the burnt ends were killer. I will definitely be going back as often as I can!

So Slaps has items that are the best I have had while in KC and other items I was not as impressed with that said nothing that was bad it just didn’t live up to the hype (Mac and cheese). I got the sampler and added the Burnt Ends and Ribs. Sides of Beans, Potato Casserole and Mac and Cheese.
