Dunn Deal BBQ — Restaurant in Grandview

I think it takes a lot of guts to open a BBQ restaurant in Kansas City. Gerald Dunn is making a name for himself one plate at a time! Dunn deal BBQ is only open 2 days a week and you will want to get an early start because he opens the doors at 11 AM Friday and Saturday only and closes at 4 or when he sells out! A small unassuming shop with no tables , carry out only. The blue ribbons are proudly displayed right inside the door and I'm certain Gerald earned them all by creating a superior product. I loved the thick sliced brisket that needed no sauce. Very moist and flavorful. The BBQ sauce is thin and more like a wash or marinade, different than a traditional KC sauce but I liked it and as I stated no sauce is needed for this moist and flavorful beef. I wasn't impressed with the baked beans, nothing wrong with them just not my style. Gerald suggested I try the banana pudding and it was great! Thanks for the recommendation. Easy to find right on main Street with ample parking. Although this was my first visit Gerald made me feel like a regular and I am sure to return soon. Put this one...

I tried this BBQ place because it's local in my neighborhood and I want to support small businesses. I purchased the 1 meat/2 sides special, I got the brisket, baked beans, and fries. The brisket was really good and it's something that I'll definitely get again. It had a nice smoked flavor and was very tender, which let me know it was prepared. The fries were cooked and season well, now the baked beans were a little different for me. The beans are one area where you'd have to try for yourself, the flavor was good but I wasn't an overall fan of them. Again, please try them for yourself, I'm not a beans person so don't take my word for it. The ambiance was nice and most importantly the service was great! I walked in, saw people enjoying great conversations and I was welcomed with a smile. For me, customer service goes a long way. This place is only open a few days a week but I HIGHLY recommend it. I look forward to going back and trying...

Small little place on Main Street serving Texas BBQ carry out only(no tables). If you ask Mr. Dunn what is best, he unapologetically says Brisket and doesn’t sell burnt ends.

Brisket was pretty good even for a non brisket lover like me. Sliced thick and stayed moist.

Sausage comes in three varieties, smoked beef, jalapeño cheddar, and andouille. I chose jalapeño, and it was the best sausage I have had in years. Better that Rudy’s. Sausage is what really makes Texas BBQ special and this didn’t disappoint!

Pulled Pork was moist and delicious. I think it was slightly under smoked, but my wife thought it was great. Sauce was thin and peppery. I really liked it.

Sides that we tried were coleslaw, potato salad, and beans. All three were very good. Beans were a bean medley with nice pieces of brisket. Potato salad was mustard based and tasty. Coleslaw was moist but not soupy.

Banana pudding...
