    Smoke Sausage and Ham
    Brandon S.

    We ordered our food to go. We were able to place the order at the bar and got it with 10 minutes if that. Staff was super friendly, including the hostess and the bartender. The sandwiches come in 1/3 and 1/2lb options, we went 1/3 which was a plenty. The brisket was thick cut, with smooth smoke finish. The smoke sausage was three thick cut medallions, nicely seasoned and ham was smoked with a touch of sweetness on the back end. Beans were thick and sweet, good taste. Mac was creamy shells and you actually see and taste cheese. Will say I preferred the sweet sauce over the original, so I would ask for that on your sandwich or on the side. The wontons were chopped brisket, pulled pork and cheddar cheese. While they taste okay alone, you have to sauce, it's like honey chipotle. First trying, will go back again, can't stress enough on how impressed I was by the service they gave us.

    Burnt and blue salad
    Lewis H.

    I wanted to try local bbq but was not super hungry so I ordered the burnt blue salad. It's a large salad with burnt ends. The burnt ends were plentiful and outstanding. They have a nice assortment of sauces. I also ordered the bbq bean and I'm critical of beans, these were tied for the best I've had. They also have one of the best blue cheese salad dressings I've had Do yourself a favor and try it here

    Burnt End Chili
    Kathryn S.

    I'm not a huge fan of barbecue but wanted to try this place out with my parents for Restaurant Week. Our waitress was very good, and our food came out surprisingly fast considering how busy they were. My favorite thing was the burnt end chili; it was delicious. Didn't love the desserts, but the other food was good. The industrial interior creates a nice vibe, and I like the warm lighting.

    Sunday buffet
    Daniel Z.

    Wow. I have the meat sweats from the Sunday Buffett. Chicken wings/tenders, sausage, bacon, meatloaf were incredible. Definitely try this place. Great service and host very nice and helpful.

    Meat platter with corn and collard greens
    Rachel S.

    I had a nice time here! I was a little skeptical because there are soo many good BBQ places in KC, but it turned out this place is good too! I got the brisket and burnt end platter with barbecue corn and collard greens. I also shared loaded BBQ Mac with my husband. My only criticism is they need more vegetarian options. Yes, I realize that is weird to say at a BBQ place, but it is nice for my sister-in-law. :l

    BBQ Sauce --- yummy!!

    Wow! Blind Box BBQ has a warm, fun, and genuinely friendly atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest hello, seated quickly, and given a tour of their favorite menu items. It was our first visit, and they made it memorable from the start. We followed their recommendations and were blown away--delicious burnt ends, brisket, creamy corn, beans, and mac & cheese. Every bite hit. The bartender was charming and incredibly talented--hands down the best infused cocktail we've had in a long time. We'll absolutely be back and will be bringing friends. We'd rank Blind Box right up there with Q39 and Joe's, and honestly, way better than Jack Stack. Highly recommend Blind Box BBQ! Keep doing what you're doing! Thank you for a fantastic experience.

    Stopped for breakfast. They had a buffet option so of course we took advantage to try everything. Both breakfast and lunch options were great but I probably enjoyed lunch more. Meat had fantastic flavor and they brought four sauces to the table. Included in the buffet was made to order prime rib and omelettes.

    What a good experience! I went for a late lunch with my brother & sister in law today and we had some fabulous food. The server was great and the restaurant was clean. Prices are comparable to other BBQ restaurants but they have a really good happy hour menu if you can make it on a weekday!

    1/2lb brisket...really incredible stuff..
    Adam T.

    Their BBQ is incredible. Brisket and burnt ends may be some of the best in the KC area. I'd say their burnt ends are the best due to the pricing, flavor, and consistency. You can't find a better burnt end for the cost...PERIOD. The brisket was spot on. I don't think the brisket is the best in the area but probably close, I would place one right of the top of my head as the best, but trust me they're pretty close. If you want good quality BBQ, good prices, good service, and good quality, you can find a pretty good experience at Blind Box

    Patio!
    Amanda P.

    Checked out their Sunday Brunch Buffet and loved the Bbq twist on a Sunday buffet and the boyfriends loved it even more. Pulled pork was great and of course the burnt end Mac kills. The sausage was great too! And of course love a chocolate fountain. A waffles! They have fun drinks as well! Great for the fam and/or friend date!

    Podium Platter
    Shawn T.

    The food was very flavorful! It's very affordable compared to many other bbq places I have visited. The waiter had only been there 3 days but he did not disappoint! Lots of seating and a room for larger groups. I'll be back for sure.

    Seating
    Christina B.

    Positives: nice outdoor seating with gas fireplace heating. Good amount of a variety of seating indoors with nice booths as well. We were promptly seated on Friday at 4:30pm and the server immediately came over to ask our drink order and give us menus. We ordered the full rib platter that has 2 sides and we choice coleslaw and sweet potato fries. My husband also ordered a mixed combo meat sandwich with baked beans. The server was attentive and nice and the food came out quickly. The food was very good including all the sides we ordered. The restaurant was also clean and orderly with a great playlist! Negative: the only two things negative I consider negative is the bathrooms are one person stalls with a community sink outside the stalls which I don't care for. Also the food temperature could have been hotter. The ribs were just barely warm and the fries were warm to cold. We will definitely go back though and just send the food back to be heated better if that happens again.

    I've been here multiple times and it's usually always pretty good. I came in at 10am on October 12th for the brunch for my birthday and I was super excited! Got inside and no one told me happy birthday at all, (which is not excepted, but if I came to celebrate my birthday I thought I would at least get a happy birthday) and made getting seated super complicated when I made a reservation. Then I get up to go get my plate and I keep having to put them down and pick up the next one because they are all FILTHY! Wow, dirty plates? When I finally found a clean plate I went to the buffet and the food was mid. Everything was lukewarm as if it had been sitting over night and been reheated and everything I ate was way too bland or too salty, no in between. To top things off our waiter made matters worse by not being attentive at all. I'm super disappointed in this place and I don't think I'll be coming back for brunch here again because of this.

There are a handful of parking spots allocated to the restaurant but street parking is available, and there is parking in the city hall lot when they're closed. It was Saturday evening, a little after 5:00. Crazy busy. The customers were a little scary when they pounced on the available tables. Some patrons at the bar were willing to scootch together when there's an empty seat. It's probably a little less crazy when it's warm enough for the outdoor seating. When sitting at the tables you place orders at the front counter, on the kiosks, at the bar the bartender takes orders. When we went Tea was the bartender and Jenny was the hostess. Both were phenomenal. We started with the Chips & Guac (homemade) $6.49 and added Salsa on the side. FPO had the KC Burrito with Carne Asada for $11.99 and Corona Extra $3.79. I had the Special Philadelphia Cheesesteak Burrito for $13.99 and a Crunchy Taco with ground beef $3.79, and a House Margarita $9.99. The food and drinks were pretty good but I think it was the happy atmosphere that made it a truly enjoyable experience.

They also have a nice patio, a walk up window, and great service. I recently visited this location for the first time and wasn't disappointed. I started with a margarita and it was delicious per usual. I had to start with some chips and queso. The queso is really good. It's pretty mild. The individual that took the order also gave some food suggestions. She suggested an avocado taco with added al Pastor. I also ordered a soft taco with just al pastor and a ground beef chimi. I did not know that you can get the Al Pastor with pineapple or without. But who wants it without pineapple? The tacos were delicious and exactly what I expected. The pork is super flavorful and juicy. The chimi was crispy and indulgent. I will definitely return to this location and I recommend that you check it out if you haven't been yet.

It was adorable and the drinks were divine. Around Christmas they do a popup bar and in 2025 it was themed around a ski lodge. We tried to versions of the old fashioned on the menu and though we did like one over the other both were well balanced cocktails. After we ordered our libations the bartender suggested we head upstairs where it was less crowded and it was so cozy we felt like we were in someone's living room. Another couple joined us and we ended up having such a lovely conversation with them, chatting all about our favorite hot spots in Kansas City (gotta love KC pride). Just a note this is a slightly hidden speakeasy inside a pizza place, you need to have a password but it's easily found on their social media pages- just check Instagram.
