Customer Reviews

"Stopped in here to give it a try after visiting Union Station and Crown Center. The service was a little slow but well worth it once we received our food. Had the St Louis Rib plate with spicy slaw and Mac and cheese. Was excellent. Clearly a little below the stars of Kansas City BBQ but good for the location and the convenience. Would come back again and try other things. The highlight was being able to eat and see all the Christmas activities just outside the restaurant."

"Overall, a solid first visit. We got right in on a Saturday evening, and Sergio gave us quick and friendly service. My beef brisket was very good, but short of being great. Rice and veggies were fresh. My wife liked her pulled pork but didn't like the smoked sausage at all. I tasted the smoked sausage - not great - cold and kinda grainy."

- Lance T.

"The rib platter was absolutely delicious! The ribs were super tasty, and the sauce was very good. Everything came out incredibly fast, and the service was top-notch, with a special shoutout to my server, Sergio. The baked beans and crinkle fries were the perfect sides. I highly recommend this place for a tasty and quick meal!"

"Not as good as Jack Stack BBQ but not terrible. The bowl with burnt beef ends was delicious and generously portioned, and the El Choppo sammich was good but really greasy. The sausages were spicy. The brisket was pretty good, moist. The waitress seemed new or just not great at her job - acted put out because we asked for a new appetizer plate since one of them in the stack was dirty. The fried cornbread wasn't to our liking, but we've also never had it before so could just be us."

- Sarah D.

"Ordered 1/4 lb of brisket and 1/4 lb of burnt ends. The meat had a nice balance of BBQ and smoke. The burnt ends were a bit fatty but that's to be expected to some extent. The brisket was very tender. I loved all the different BBQ sauces they had. So fun trying them all. The wait for the food was around 25 minutes but it was close to lunch time. I would go back again but next time I'll try the pulled pork :)"

"Went with a group. They served us fast. Were open to customizations. I got the burnt end nachos. Portion was big for $14.99. plenty of burnt ends. Can easily serve 2 people. Very clean restaurant. Customer service was amazing. Have a sauce bar. I like the honey glazed and sweet chipotle. You can smell their food from the parking garage "

- Tiffany P.

"Not too bad for a BBQ joint in a mall. The brisket came out a little on the cold side but tasted very good. fries were way too salty and the burger was ok. Beer was great as always "
