The Kansas City BBQ Bistro — Restaurant in Kansas City

Walked in and we were greeted with a friendly smile. I wasn’t hungry but my boyfriend wanted some BBQ. Today’s special was burnt ends. I ordered a lb. of smoked brisket because the smell was amazing in this place. I suddenly became hungry LOL!

We ordered side dishes of baked beans and fries. Our meal came quickly to our table. The beans were on point, not sweet and not plain. The fries were crunchy and delicious. The burnt ends were spot on. My eyes were bigger than my stomach but I tried to eat 1/2 lb. of the brisket. I’m saving the other half for dinner tomorrow. We were given two types of BBQ sauce (hot/mild) and pickle spears.

The waitress told us she had dessert if we were interested. I could see the Neapolitan cake on the counter. It was a beautiful cake. She sold us on the S’mores cake.

The restaurants ambiance makes you want to come back have some drinks, great food, talk to the staff and owner. By the way, every other Wednesday they have Kareoke night 6-10 pm. I’m definitely coming back. Look if you’re not into meat that’s great but if you’re into dessert you have to try this place! The cake maker is listed on here too.

Ps. We couldn’t wait to eat and that’s why some of the...

This place was horrible. I went for lunch. I wanted to try the burnt ends but you have to order a dinner plate to get them. So, I spent $20 (after tip) and had the worst bbq that I've ever had in Kansas city area. I got the 3 meat plate so I could try a little of everything. The meat was dry. The sauce had very little flavor. The sliced brisket might as well have been cubed ham from the grocery store. The sliced brisket probably was lunch meat from the store with a little sauce on it. I have no idea how anyone could give this more than 2 stars. The only reason I gave it two, was because I ate it all and didn't get sick. After spending so much money, I couldn't throw it away. The serving of cole slaw was tiny. They charge for refills on soda. I'll never be back. The only positive thing was the...

No hickory logs were harmed in the writing of this review. Dreadful barbeque. If these sad people announced that they were going head to head with Arby's I'd give 'em a break. But they claim to be a BBQ joint in the land of Q. NOT!!! I ordered their regular Q sandwich with two sides. Got a sammich with super thin sliced brisket with no smoke taste whatsoever. NO SMOKE TASTE!!! Shiny, syrupy sauce agreed that this was a worthless experience. The Wyandotte County barbeque joints have some special magic for flying under the BBQ radar. This place is junk. The "special" was $9.95 with two sides, no drink. With a soda, the tab allegedly came to $12 even. Seriously, Arby's would have been a much greater value. Do Not Eat...
