• The ribs are worthy of recognition but the brisket and sliced pork are average. The sauces are good. I would visit again unless some of the other local places prove better. by fmpotter Wed 09/07/2011 12:00 AM Joined Jul 2011 3 Posts 10 Restaurant Visits

  THE best bbq in Kansas City, try the turkey on bun, it's perfectly smoked.

  It is tradition to be greeted by a prompt, "Hi, May I help you?" Our tip: Don't be pressured; take your time and order what you want!

  Order a Mixed Plate and a side of beans.

  Made our South's Best List! Try the stellar burnt ends and ribs, especially when spiked with spoonfuls of cumin-laced, almost marinara-like sauce.
