Reviews of A Little BBQ Joint (Restaurant)

Suzanne Rees

Our server was outstanding! We got a variety of items. Everyone liked their meat. Fries were fantastic. Full bar. Great vibe. Went around 830 on Saturday night and no problem getting a table.

Amber Duffett

This was our first time. It's our new favorite!!! The atmosphere is so awesome!!! The server got our name with our orders and she called us by our names or babe. We really dug that!!! Wish I got her name so I could give her a shout out!

Anthony Wright

The greatest burnts ends ever! My family of 9 enjoys everything about the place. Kids love the turkey.

Jeff Strawderman

A Hidden Gem in Kansas City excellent BBQ...

Food was cold, sauce tasted odd, and price was too high for what we got. Clerk at counter was talking with someone else when I came up and I had to wait until she was done. This wouldn't have been a problem, but it wasn't anything about an order or payment, it was small talk about Louisiana.

Danielle Stonic

It was ok food...I did like the decor.

Kyle W

Came with a group of friends, maybe too many of us, but they sat our group of ten or so and were able to reasonably accommodate us. I got the Turkey sandwich thing and it was amazing. I think everyone needs a little BBQ joint in their life!

Debra Lynn Johnson

Great food and atmosphere. Clean and great service.

justin jones

Love this place. Great prices and food. Generous portions. Cool hot rod aesthetic.

Daniel Valentine

These are good people. Very accommodating and very helpful. Large portions enough for lunch and afternoon snack in one. Absolutely amazing bbq. I’m not much of a sausage or hot dog guy but I tried their “Harry S” (their hotdog sandwich) and I can not get over how good it was. Very cheap for the atmosphere, service and food. 23 bucks for 2 giant plates. I will be going back very soon!!! Personal recommendation: get the cheesy corn as a side!! Do it for America!!

Stacey Mitlehner

This place rocks! The burnt ends are amazing. Trust me - just go.

Mary Wilcox

I've been to this "BBQ Joint" approximately 15 times. Each time the food has been superb. They service incredible ribs and really many variations of dry meats that you get to apply your own bbq sauce to. They have unique appetizers that are to die for! They even have a seasonal outdoor area with live music. Or you can just dine inside.The service has always been great! To be candid, the exterior might make you think twice about patronizing the place. (I ignored it for a year!) But, I'm ever-so pleased I finally went and I would encourage those even from many miles away to give it a try. You'll be super glad you did! It's well-worth the drive! Thanks for bringing this wonderful establishment to our neighborhood!

Isis Marchan

Love their mac and cheese. Food was delicious .Will be back .

Amanda Scarlett

Always delicious You're good with a slab of ribs and the fries are amazing and your golden and you can walk out the door for under to $30

Anna Herrman

Very tasty, server was friendly and helpful. Prices were appropriate for the food. We shared the special, full slab of baby back ribs, with fries and two sides. Brought home leftovers.

Richard Davis

All you get are pics of the outside. I took the first bite and never looked back. Next thing I know I was walking out the door. I ordered the burnt ends and they were excellent. I added 3 ribs and they where fall off the bone good. It took awhile to get seated but then again we had 10 people with us. It is not a large place. So we understood. We got seated at 7:50 but they closed at 8pm on Thursday. We never felt rushed. Everyone was nice and pleasant.

Maddison Jennings

Great food but i wont be coming back bcuz of the HORRIBLE service i got from the waitress.

Jonathan Morrison

Very good BBQ. small town feeling in a big town. Love the old cars and what they did with them.

Allen Sedwick

Fantastic BBQ. Just came over to visit the Truman library and decided to drop in. We will be making the trip back for the BBQ next time.

Sherri Foreman

Went for the first time on a recommendation. Smoked turkey was really good. " sandwich " came with quite a bit of meat. Cole slaw is vinegar based, different but really good. They have a daily special, senior menu & kids menu. Note : it's on highway 24/Independence but the street name off of Nolan is called Independence. [ 7 - 11 is there ] * I went back for their smoked, bacon wrapped meatloaf wed special. Was good. BBQ beans were good as well but definitely on the sweet side.

Mike Massimo

The food, the decor, the food.. ... the food.. the food.. and some beer

J Lewis

Cool place. I will go back.

Jeri Dobson

I didn't enjoy the food. The ribs were dry. Atmosphere is great though!

Archie Lam

I went to this BBQ to pick up my order from their website. I had requested no pickles but wouldn’t you know it they put pickles in the package. I didn’t complain and just took it off. I like pickles but not on my food as for me they take over the taste. I ordered the cheesy corn and it was wonderful. The BBQ was okay with a great sauce. The beans were a little sweet but very good. I will go again when in the area.

Eagle 1

I been around, had BBQ south all over, this place is not even close to being good, ribs where a little raw, brisket was dry, sausage was ok, wings were not bad pull pork had no taste, good thing I was just visiting and will never go back. The looks of the place is super nice I loved the outside with live music and the inside decorations.

aaron jepson

Top Notch!!!! Amazing BBQ in every possible way. Great service. Food came super fast. Fleetwood was amazing. Chilli amazing!. Just Great. Keep up the GREAT WORK. Look at those Sandwiches!!!!

Chuck

Ordered takeout from here last night. Our pulled pork and burnt ends tasted like leftovers from two days prior. Dry AF. We didn't even finish our food, let alone save what was left. Bummed out. I had dined in here once before - about 3 months ago - and the experience was positive enough that I came back. Reluctant to try again, given as many good BBQ joints as there are in this town.

Erin Story

Solid BBQ and good atmosphere. We visited on a Saturday evening with our small kids and had a great experience. The decor was fun and interesting (for the kids, too) and the atmosphere was laid back and friendly. The restaurant was clean (which is not something I've been able to say about every BBQ place we have eaten at.) Our waitress was attentive despite the restaurant being busy. My husband ordered the burnt ends with coleslaw, fries and added a few ribs. He said the ribs were really good (and I think he would pride himself on being a rib connoisseur!) He said the burnt ends were solid. I ordered the Saturday special, half a chicken with two sides. I had fries and coleslaw. I didn't care for the slaw, but its not that it didn't have a good taste, just wasn't my style. Their fries are really frickin' good! The chicken had a really good flavor but could have been cooked longer. It wasn't undercooked, I'm just used to BBQ chicken being cooked until it is more tender. Their sauce is pretty amazing! I've tried a lot of different BBQ sauces and the Mad Housewife (their medium sauce) was one of my favorites. Thanks for a great experience. We will be back the next time we're in Kansas City!

Thomas Croy

I have been several times and great food and service.

Tabitha Tennison

Love the Wong tongs,great owner an family. Very neat place i highly recommend this place

Jeff Jansen

Outstanding customer service, portion sizes were good and a cool atmosphere. I ordered the brisket and didn't love the rub. There was some heat to it and I've always felt brisket rub should enhance the flavor of the beef, not cover it up. Also it was a bit dry, though the thick slices were a positive. My wife ordered the pulled pork and it, too, was a bit dry. The sides were all tasty.

Shayla Hickman

Ribs were tough. Mac and cheese was like soup and tasteless. Burnt ends were delicious.

allaroundamelia sandbox girl

Good food and good service

Brandon Goff

Dig the atmosphere and the food is pretty good too. Very Independence vibes both in a trashy way and a classy way. If you ever eat here and from the area, you know what I'm talking about. On Fridays when the weather isn't cold, the have live bands play which is a cool little feature that I'm gonna go back and enjoy.

Linda Clark

Really a nice little place to get BBQ. loved there burnt end, cheese corn and great mac and cheese. We also had BBQ bacon for an appetizer really outstanding.

Jeff Dowell

To me it's the best bbq around love the food the sauce the atmosphere. And the employees are always nice so is the owner..

Jessica Crowder

We have lived in the KC area for 3 years, and I'm sad I just now discovered this gem! We were craving BBQ after visiting the Truman museum and found this on maps. Great prices, a ton of food, fun atmosphere, wonderful service, and delicious food! We will definitely drive out of our way to eat here again!

Joshua Dickinson

This is KC BBQ. Food is great and will keep you coming back. The place wil have you bringing your friends. If you cannot tell by the name there is a car theme. Whether its the bar made from a car or the dioramas at the high tables, you will find neat details everywhere. On the weekends they have a small stage outback.

John Miles

Really great brisket. Good prices for what they provide.

J.R. Boyd

Mmmm... bacon chips.....brisket wontons....never disappointed

Ernest Williams

It definitely does it's own thing. Third visit and I would like to love this place but it is inconsistent with flavor and spice level. Just had the spicy sausage this trip as it was my favorite , but it was spicier than last time and over the heat all I could taste was file' seasoning. Don't they have a recipe for consistency or are they throwing whatever strikes them in the moment? Then there's the wait staff. "Wait" is the right word because if you are not a single Neanderthal man you are going to wait until there are no more of them needing taken care of before someone can get around to taking your order. Men who arrived after we had been seated had eaten and were leaving by the time our food was being delivered.

Wyatt Preston

Very nice atmosphere, wonderful service. Meat is cut a little thick for my taste, but flavor was great. Especially the bark that was on my burnt ends, the rub they use is fantastic. Also the ghost chili bbq sauce was to die for.

Chad Reed

Recently had them cater my wedding. Very competitive prices and excellent food. The food was delivered at exactly the time requested, and really helped things run smoothly for a big event. Really professional service and they handled it all perfectly. I can't recommend them highly enough. 5 stars all the way around!

William DeKnight

My first time! Had burnt ends and Jameson. INCREDIBLE!! The staff is amazing and sweet as molasses! Come on down!

Tyler Butler

Great place, good bbq, service was a little lacking, our waitress forgot to order our appetizers before our meal, our meal its self took 30minutes to come out. But all in all a good place. The atmosphere is awesome, lots old cars and nick nacs, license plates and such.

Jennifer Johnson

Our first time eating here and we were pleasantly surprised. You get a lot of food for the price. Burnt ends and ribs are fantastic! We took the bacon chips home and put them in the refrigerator...they were so good eating cold the next day. Fast service and a cool environment. Wish we would have found this place sooner!

dblodgett61

The place is good if you dont want travel to other places. Not to say the food quality is poor, but a but pricey for the local.

Lilliard Richardson

Very eclectic place with lots of memorabilia all around. Food was decent and service was good. I am not a big fan of BBQ, but others wanted to try it.

Steve Harrop

Excellent food!!!! and great atmosphere. I loved the old cars and memorabilia. Service was also excellent.

Pamela MacKerron Cherry

Very good food. We ordered the meatloaf sandwich and baby back ribs. Loved everuthing but the cole slaw which was a minor thing

Hope Herring

Love the food....Especially the barbeque wonton wrap...they are AMAZING

Alejandro Ramirez Jimenez

It was a good place to eat, had fun here and the food was delicious.

Soloman Jones

Awesome BBQ an service very friendly. Enjoyed the whole dining experience.

Emma Cook

Got pulled pork and burnt ends and a side of baked beans. All were delicious and very fairly priced. We'll be going back!

Willa Knight

Dined at this restaurant with my family of 4, horrible service. It took the waitress a half hour to acknowledge we were there. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks. Never once saw a manager.

Steve Billings

Food is always fantastic and GREAT service!! We were here during the Sunday afternoon open jam on the deck. The music was really awesome :)

DENNIS CONWAY

My favorite BBQ place in all of Kansas City. The food and service are phenomenal. I love the atmosphere here.

Billy Farrow

Good atmosphere. Foods ok. No arther Bryant's lol. Fun place to hear live music

Chris W

Damn! I thought A Little BBQ Joint, was delicious. Almost put me in a meat coma because the portions were very hearty. The sandwiches are a meal in itself the ribs and brisket on point. Mmmmmmm

Timothy McEnroe

Good food nice people

Sara D

This is my favorite bbq in the city - it's not as vinegary as other places. We've gotten takeout for parties from here, catered at work from here, and done everything except eat in, but every time everything has been delicious and setting up orders has been a breeze - even at the last minute!

Brian Sword

The food was great, the atmosphere even better, and the live music on the deck, the absolute best. A great time all around. I would highly recommend!

Dsmiles T

Their were too busy to greet me. Too busy to give me a menu. Too busy to take my order. I walked. I Can be ignored at any Mcdonalds in town. Just sorry I drove 15 min out of my way to go there.

Sharon Sprague

Really good ribs. We will be back next time we are in Independence Missouri.

Johnny Miller

Best BBQ around. The staff is awesome, the bathrooms are always clean.

Gamporal

I really like the place,but last time I went our waitress had a bit of an attitude fair enough maybe just a bad day but the food seemed to have lost a little something from previous times I've eaten here. Will try again tho.

Danielle Mattox

Good place to eat... Cheesy corn is the best

Debbie Lafferty

The food is outstanding,the staff is so nice and knowledgeable.The deco is really awesome.My fav bbq joint.

Christina Jones

Very good food!! Great fast and friendly service!

Dieselpotamus

Great experience! This place had a lot of unique style and personality. It's what you might call a dive but the food is good, atmosphere is cool, people are interesting. A little too dimly lit for my testes but otherwise awesome.

Jason Roberts

Nice place good music on Friday night

Carolyn weaver-sarratt

A really fun place! Love the unique old garage style [guess thats what it once was] The severs are really nice and interact as if they are glad to be there. Let me say up front, BBQ is not my thing but there are enough other choices to make everyone happy.

Larry Kirkpatrick

Great Ribs and brisket chili! I'd come back. Make it a stop before any zombie apocalypse!

luke williamson

Great food. Excellent service. Good prices

Tammy hawn

Our waitress was amazing. I love looking at everything, and there is a lot to look at while you're eating. I was disappointed in some of my burnt ends, as in, they were just pieces of fat, Yuck. But the sides and sauces were good.

Jeff Stucker

Have eaten here many, many, many times in the last few years, always forget that online reviews are a thing... I don't know what to say to describe this place. The food is amazing, the staff is wonderful, the decor is just pure fun... in the booths you sit on old bench seats from cars, the bar is a late 60's Impala/Caprice/Biscayne, there are soap box racers hanging from the ceiling, model cars everywhere. It used to be an old Autoshop and they have thoroughly embraced the history, as well as added a lot of local flair. The bands during the summer on the patio are awesome... I can't say enough good things about the food, I'm picky about my BBQ (my wife will attest to it) and this has become one of my favorite local go to places. in case you have any doubts about trying this place, take these two words to heart - BACON CHIPS!

Minnie Offield

The food is excellent, every time. The ambiance is great, and it has a back patio to sit and enjoy music with your food, and really terrific servers. Hint: for a great appetizer, try the bacon chips. They are to die for!

Shannon Coleman

There food is fire!! They have this awesome barbeque bacon pieces so good!! U must try them!! Awesome for bacon lovers!!

danny mantle

Gotta get the brisket melt. I would definitely recommend a little bbq joint to anyone wanting bbq.

Darrell Bunger

Played as part of the evening entertainment, the late fees. Gotta say these guys really know what they're doing. I'm a huge brisket and burnt ends kind of BBQ fan and these guys do it so right. Some of the best I've had in a long time. Can't wait to check out the brisket chili next. Can't even imagine what kind of food paradise that'll be!

Brent Ramos

First time here, had some burnt ends that were awesome. Potato salad is delicious and pea salad was really good as well. Service was great. Will be back soon.

Ethan Thompson

Great meats. Mac n cheese was decent.

Tina Brown

I was brought this really small condiment cup with the sauce. I sort of chuckled that it was so small but I could see the peppers floating in the sauce and was thinking it would be very spicy (but it was not for me). I think my definition of spicy and their definition is a bit different. There was definitely some spicy flavor but no real bite I was looking for.

Debbie Strevey

Great place! Senior pulled pork just the right size and tasty. Retro car seats very comfy. Great service. Moderate noise level for great conversion with friends, even with live blues on the patio.

Chris Henderson

Bacon chips are a must! Ribs were good, the fries are excellent, hot potato salad fantastic! The place is very cool as well great waitresses also. The people saying the food is bland or not seasoned are not people who appreciate good bbq they are used to over rubbed over seasoned food a little salt and pepper if needed and a tad bit of sauce puts it where ya want it. Again one of the better places I've been, I'm from St. Louis we have some great joints there. I just ate at 2 places (big names) this place is right there with them.

Jayce Watkins

This place is amazing. Rocked my socks off. Coming from Idaho and Utah this was the best BBQ I have ever had. And the hot potato salad is amazing. The burnt ends and brisket. To die for!!!! 100/10 and the customer service is just as good as the food. Mechelle was our waitress and she took care of us! I mean really took care of us. The atmosphere here was nothing like what I was expecting. If I ever come back to the area. I will come eat here again.

Janet Bates

Unique atmosphere and great food!

HFD BFJ

Perfect hole in the wall type of joint. Friendly, good portion sizes, good value for the price. And most importantly, get the bacon appetizer!

Miriam Ramos

Delicious I will becoming back and the service was very nice and helpful I loved it!

Melisa Jegen

I really like this place. I should have stopped in here a long time ago I passed it all the time but I never stopped. Well I was impressed the inside of the place. the decor is pretty cool and I love the fact that they give you like three or four different BBQ sauces on your table so you can just take what you want or you can try all of them I like that. the people that work there were really cool, very nice and I will definitely be back.

S F

I love the laid back atmosphere and super friendly service. The barbecue is smoky and delicious. I love the choices of three different barbecue sauces.It’s just an all around great place to eat!

Michael Nodwell

Bacon chips and bacon dessert! I love pork! Cozy. Friendly, fast, clean. Nostalgic. Family place. Location x 3! I'm impressed

Ally Sorensen

They always have amazing and quick service when I go. I've tried several different menu items and I'm never disappointed. I always recommend this place to people I know. Truly my favorite bbq place in the area. Thank you!

Michelle Devore

Great food and music lousy service

Jill Ross

Ordered 2 one-half pounds burnt ends, 2 sides(fries, coleslaw) and 6 rib appetizer same as 40.00. Smelled great on way home, Got home, smell better than tasted.Burnt ends not smoky tasted like roast beef, drowned them in sauce which is the best thing about the meal! Coleslaw had no dressing at all disgusting! I suppose LBJ would do again if it's the only choice, no honestly don't think so!

harold williams

Great place. Drove by it and never had time to stop. That was my mistake. Excellent atsmosphere and staff friendly. Was upset my 1/2 pound of burnt ends was 1/4 at best. Until i tasted it. Wow. Im like Jack Spratt could eatno fat, even the fat was delicious on burnt ends. All in all i have to go back for the live music and outdoor deck. Would put them in my top bbq places in KC.

Steven Leblanc

We went there today. Mar 29 2019. The food was amazing. Spent half of what we spent at Q39 not to mention it was 10x better than Q39. I recommend going here if u want a family oriented atmosphere and not pay an arm and a leg.

Alexander Keith

Amazing food. Amazing people. Had a great date there. Some of the best bbq I’ve ever had and we only paid about 30 dollars for 2 fantastic and filling meals. Highly recommended!!

Mark Williams

Good BBQ. I had burnt ends.

Lisa Bodendieck

Good food, decent service and band, we had a great time for date night

Steve Weller

Good bbq, and a nice restuarant

J.C. Gunlock

The best BBQ place you haven't heard of. Everyone knows all the famous K.C. BBQ joints, and they are great. But this place is just better if you ask me. It's just different, with a small neighborhood feel to it. The portion sizes are big, and you won't leave hungry. And in the summer time, they have a big patio/deck area that has live music if you are into that too.

Fred Reynolds

Food was just ok, has been much better in the past!

Ruben Villarreal

Loved it. That chili was Awesome.

Angela Yuriko Smith

We have found the BEST BBQ in Kansas City! We stopped by here during a house hunting trip for lunch and fell in love. The fries were the best I've had. I usually won't eat them, but I cleaned my plate. We had the Tuesday lunch special, pulled pork sandwiches and walked away stuffed without spending much. The Sweet Sister sauce is a perfect compliment to the smokey flavor of the meat. Delectable all around. The atmosphere and wait staff were all big pluses. There is no better place for BBQ around, and we will be regulars.

Marcia Davis

Great food. Great service. Really cool place. Loved it!

Celeste Lupercio

42 BBQs down, 31 to go!

Becky Tucker

Huge portions and the best cheesy corn!

beais4beauty

I order from this place every couple of months and my food is always good. Except for 1 time when I ordered the chicken and it was dry and rubbery like it had been sitting and microwaved. I know even the best places can have an off day so I would still recommend this restaurant. The beans are delicious. You get large portions that will fill you up and for a good price.

lighting nerd

Everything made from scratch, wouldn't be surprised if they grew the cattle too(just kidding)! Place was packed, but for good reason, can't wait to come back for more!

Diane Postlethwait

First time there, I stopped in to carry out dinner. Staff was very friendly, food was ready quickly. Burnt ends were tender and delicious. Was worried that sauce was thin, but it was the right mix of sweet smokey and vinegary. Will definitely be back.

Wendy Lester

Loved deck. Staff and food great. We will be back.

Pauly Gillespie

Perhaps "spicy" means something else to me, but when I hear that word I'm expecting something that will burn my mouth...at least a little bit. It doesn't have to permanently scar my taste buds or make my head sweat, but I do expect to know I'm eating something that has some spice in it. If you're like me this will not scratch that itch. "Spicy" it is not (even a bit) , even if the description says otherwise. But the burnt ends were good (albeit a bit dry) which is what I came for. I just wanted to dip my fries in a little bit of liquid hell. Just make sure you ask for Paege - she has great service with a smile down pat. Without her this is only a 3 star review.

Nellie Bellie

Went on a Thursday night, service was great, slaw is an interesting mix of veggies which I liked, the beans were awesome, but... the burnt ends were inedible. Oversalted and completely burned to little chunks of rock hard meat. I was a bit mortified because I had taken company from California there after bragging about our city’s burnt ends. The next day I took my company to a different bbq place and we were served the some of the most glorious burnt ends this city has to offer. I redeemed myself but I won’t be going back to this place for the good service and beans because burnt ends are always what I order.

Sidney Wheeler

Well prepared and unique bbq selection.

Janice Plattner

Loved the brisket. Not a fan of the burnt ends. Interesting place. Would like to sit on patio with live music. Haven't had the opportunity.

Morgan Erickson

Food was great, server was friendly. Burnt ends were extra salty, but everything else was great. I didn't care for the sauces, but good meat doesn't need sauce. Will be back.

Dulcinea Allen

Just not impressed. I live and work in this area. And yes I love the atmosphere of A Little BBQ Joint. But the last few times I have eaten there it has left something to be desired. We ordered carryout for lunch today and only (2) out of the (8) orders that were received were correct. For our manager, that was trying to treat his crew out of his own pocket, this was extremely disappointing. I have to say after a few bad experiences I will deter people that are visiting our company from eating there.

katie Barnes

The atmosphere was cool, the booths were truck bench seats, with car decor/memorabilia everywhere. The food was delivered to our table quickly, and was delicious. Some of the best brisket I've had, and the sides were also quite tasty. Would go back for sure.

Anthony King

Great food cool place

jan stewart

Good barbecue, fun decor, good live music, good service.

Dale Nation

Good little bbq spot, they have daily specials but I love that meatloaf sandwich, definitely recommend this place

David Scroggins

Burnt ends platter was a little underwhelming. Some of the ends were melt in your mouth while others were chewy. The rub was very punchy, which is great in general, but sometimes just an unwelcome salt bomb (depending on whether you get more meat or or rub in an end). That being said, I thought the sauces and sides were solid. The baked beans were excellent. This place is near my parent's home, so I think I'll stop by again next time I'm in town and try out the ribs, which seem to be what everyone else is recommending here.

Justin Barnes

Very good food, and good portion sizes

Jared Stevenson

Really good bbq. Very relaxing environment. Just sit back and enjoy the food with your friends and family. Price is even with most BBQ joints beer is cold and 3 types of house sauce. The burnt ends were so good. I forgot to save my wife some. So good.

Tim Blankenship

I had the burnt end platter and the meat was tender and had a good flavor. The hot potato salad was the standout side for me. I did get to taste an onion ring and it was great too

Tony Miller

Great bbq ! The burnt ends were amazing and the portion size was huge !

David Ensley

Great chicken and sauces. Enjoyed talking with pit master.

Ruth Harris

I went to this BBQ to pick up my order from their website. I had requested no pickles but wouldn’t you know it they put pickles in the package. I didn’t complain and just took it off. I like pickles but not on my food as for me they take over the taste. I ordered the cheesy corn and it was wonderful. The BBQ was okay with a great sauce. The beans were a little sweet but very good. I will go again when in the area.

Elizabeth McGregor

I looooved the bbq here! So much flavor and great service. Definitely recommend this place.

Dianna Temple

Father's Day dinner with our twin granddaughters, age 8. One twin loves the fries! I love the burnt ends. Papa loves ribs.

Ryan Baker

Great food at a great price friendly and fast service!

Michelle Lawrence

My husband and I, went there for the first time tonight. We were greeted when we walked in. Our waitress was wonderful, very nice and polite! Very comfortable, laid back atmosphere. I had ribs, cheesy corn, and Cole slaw. My husband had the brisket, Turkey, and fried. The food was excellent! The ribs were awesome, and the cheesy corn is to die for (it was so good)! My husband loved his meal! The portions are well worth the money. Our favorite sauce there was called the mean mother-in-law. We will definitely be back.

Austin Holland

“Da Bomb” is the best bbq sandwich I’ve ever had. This place is amazing!

Carla McDaniel

The whole aura of this place is great. So is the food!

Wayne Crawford

Ribs are delicious. Brisket was good.

Barbara Stone

Wonderful food and fun atmosphere.

Jorge Arvelo

Great food and wonderful, courteous staff. The pea salad is absolutely delicious as is the meatloaf sandwich. The fries and potato salad were also delicious and we loved the ambience and decore. I definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant. We are definitely returning for more of their yummy food.

Rachel Rae

Freakin delicious!! Great ribs and BBQ sauce! Burnt ends we're so tender!

Whitney Mosley

My husband and I both had the smoked meatloaf and it was FANTASTIC we are from TN and stopped here for the night and wanted to try some real kc bbq and this was it!!! I definitely recommend the bacon chips for an app and u HAVE to save room for the fried pie!!! We will be stopping here again

Sachia Perrine

Fantastic food! Cheesy Corn the bomb. Fun atmosphere!!!

Vicki Coen

Way to much cigarette smoke! Food was good, but not great. Will try to eat inside if we go again!

Ryan Simons

Great food with big portions, reasonable prices, and fun vibe!

Nicholas McClure

Just ate here for the first time, I look over ratings and reviews before eating anywhere and this place looked very well. Overall the staff was awesome, place was extremely busy, we had our drinks within 5 minutes and after ordering had our food within 10. That’s a A+ but in my opinion the meat could of had more flavor. I ordered a dinner plate (chicken, 3 ribs, two sides and bread I got baked beans, and cheesy corn.) the chicken was very good but the ribs not so much, fairly tender but no flavor without adding sauce. Baked beans were great but the cheesy corn was not. Now for a $15.99 meal I would expect to get a whole piece of bread not just half a slice. My friend ordered a pulled pork sandwich and said it was very plain no seasoning and was displeased with it. Staff was great and the owner even came around thinking every single person for eating there. That’s hard customer service to find. If they step up the flavor in the meat I’d easily give 5 stars! Not the best but not to bad either but it is pricey.

Jordan Steel

Very good food! Delicious BBQ sauces! Fun environment and decor

Isabelle Ewing

The waitresses are so sweet and attentive! The food was PHENOMENAL. Absolutely love this place!

Rich Krol

Nice little hole in the wall place. Try the spicy sauce called "Angry mother in law". Clean place, won't need a tetanus shot.

Lynnea Selleck

Love this place! It is fantastic! The food is so delicious! So much better than other big chains around!

Damon Guyer

Love the food and the waitress are always happy and friendly. The owner takes time to check on his customers to make sure their happy. Great place

Linwood KC

Awesome vibe in the his place but I found the brisket to be just so-so with zero smoke on it. Tasted like it was parboiled. Pulled pork was better. .. sides were meh. All vinegar based sauces ..There are way better places to get your BBQ than this

Merry Marshall

Fun little bbq joint. Unassuming but great food!

Ashley Strong

I love the atmosphere and the attitudes of all the employees! The food is always great and fresh! I highly recommend this joint..best bbq

John Larson

For Independence, it's the best BBQ place in town. Best prices for the food--quality AND quantity (I can't usually finish a whole meal in one sitting). Most other BBQ places in IndepMO are too expensive for what you get or just don't have the quality of meat. This place has some great quality ribs and their hot potato salad is fantastic.Burnt ends are hit and miss--some are tough and some are super soft, even in the same batch. They have three unique BBQ sauces, which for me is a really important part of the BBQ Joint experience. Overall, if you're planning to stay in Independence for BBQ, this is your best bet.

Just so-so. I've definitely had better BBQ. We ordered the 1/4 chicken and the Wednesday special "ka-boom," which is a kabob. Meat had a decent smoky flavor, but was dry.

We got the special for today which was the rack of ribs. We ordered a appetizer but she forgot it. Food was good. I would skip the cheesy corn though.
