Louisburg BBQ & Brews — Restaurant in Louisburg

I’ve had the ribs. They are wonderful that’s pretty much what I normally order but I can’t have fiber so I got fries and mac & cheese that I paid $.50 for a little tiny thing of it and it didn’t even taste like it had cheese on it. It just looked like milk only And no flavor. I sent my family from out of state there while I was in the hospital during Christmas and they said the ribs were good but the barbecue burnt ends and brisket were just okay. They also mention the potato salad wasn’t that good either so I didn’t order that thinking maybe the mac & cheese was good. My sister says they have good pizza and that’s what she usually orders so maybe next time I’ll try the pizza but I definitely won’t be ordering their mac & cheese anymore. And being that their brisket was tough as what my sister-in-law said and My brother didn’t say why he didn’t like the burn ends. I will continue to come back, but they need to make homemade macaroni and cheese and add cheese to it cause it tasted like no cheese at all with just milk and I could’ve made milky Noodles at home if that’s what I wanted. I guess maybe I’m just a little too picky but nothing like homemade mac & cheese and that’s what I was hoping for macaroni with cheese it didn’t have powdered cheese that is fake powder stuff. I didn’t taste like fake powder stuff it tasted like milk and noodles. They do have really good tender ribs though and I guess I’m just stuck on the ribs, but they need to work on their side items. I kept smelling fried chicken when I hopped in the car with my food So I had to check to see if I had fried chicken Or ribs. I’m guessing my french fries were fried with chicken which that wouldn’t be good either. If it was I just pray it wasn’t because chicken carries diseases and being I just got out of the hospital. I have to be real careful. I never had bad service there and always friendly service that they really gotta work on the recipes. I noticed they’re not real busy except for during holidays. I bet if they had me for the cook that the side dishes would’ve been a lot better and their brisket would’ve been tender. I love to barbecue myself and smoke meats. There is a lot of secrets too getting it to be real tender and not everybody knows that. The sad thing is there is so much competition in Kansas City area and it’s hard to keep up with other competition. I think they would be busier if they cared a little more about their barbecue and their side dishes. Just needs a little love that’s all and a little more time to...

If you are looking for some good ol' fashioned BBQ in the small town of Louisburg, then look no further. I found the service here to be absolutely top notch. There was no waiting to be seated(@ 7pm on a Saturday night). The wait-staff was extremely friendly and helpful(my waitress even came out to fist-bumb me for my originality in ordering my ice cream dessert before my meal came out!) This location has a fully stocked bar and a cozy atmosphere with sporting events and news on the ceiling mounted televisions. As long as dining underneath a few hunting trophies doesn't bother you, I would recommend this place. One of the owners actually came out to ask if we were enjoying our meal on my first visit to this location(always a nice gesture). I was pleased recently during my second visit to see that the restaurant was offering free meals for U.S. military veterans. I overheard one elderly gentleman with a navel crew hat on(presumably a vet) complementing one of the cooks who had come out to check on him on 'the best eating he'd done in 50 years.' It was just a nice thing to see.

The only thing that I found to be slightly unimpressive was the quality of the BBQ, keeping in mind that I am somewhat of a BBQ snob, having sampled barbecue from some of Kansas City's more upscale BBQ joints. I'm used to my burnt ends being beef and not pork. The chicken my wife ordered, although certainly a fair-sized portion, still looked a little too much like a chicken after it had been seasoned and cooked. I must say though, I was more than happy with my smoked brisket on my third visit. The coleslaw was delicious too.

Still yet, if you are looking for some descent barbecue at a more than reasonable price with a good atmosphere and friendly staff I would certainly...

My Family and I were passing through on our way to Pittsburgh, Kansas from Kansas City and we are so GLAD WE DID!!! Now I am a Native BBQ Queen, I live down the street from Gates, I am uber familiar with all different types of BBQ from KC and other states in the U.S. and burnt ends of all kinds, needless to say it is my favorite type of food. I ordered the special for today the Burnt End BBQ sandwich and fries, and my stepmom ordered the Smoked Catfish, the potato salad and the coleslaw. EVERYTHING WE HAD WAS SO DELICIOUS!!! That Burnt end sandwich with the HOUSEMADE BBQ SAUCE was better than Jack Stacks and one of the BEST burnt end sandwiches I have ever had!!! Tender, thick delicious smoke ring, the BBQ sauce was sweet and delicious!!! One of the best BBQ sauces I've ever tasted!!! The fries were housemade potato fries and seasoned just right!!! They were both delicious!!! The smoked catfish was SOOOOO GOOD!!! I've never had smoked catfish before before but boyo boy was it worth it!!!
