    What a fun place. I love how its walls are decorated with barbecue trophies and drawings created by the restaurant's diners. Come hungry - the food is served filling portions. It's really good, too. I enjoyed my burnt ends sandwich. The ends were perfectly smoked - tender, full of flavor and enhanced with a small dab of Chops BBQ bold sauce. The onion rings were fried to perfection - piping hot and crunchy.

    Service is always great. easy to get in and out. Amazing food. I definitely recommend.

    Wow - fantastic! Cute little place right on historic Main St. Friendly staff, and amazing BBQ! Started out with some spicy fried pickles, then a half rack of tender, fall off the bone ribs. Friends had pulled pork that they said was great, too. Add this place to your must stop list for some good eats outside the city!

    Having had their BBQ at a hosted event, I had an idea of what to expect. Last night we had a chance to dine in with out of town family and boy oh boy, we weren't disappointed. The space is on the small side but it's clean and decorated in a very BBQ friendly way. Seating was not a problem. Background music was great and not too loud. Perfect actually. Our server was Delaney and she took care of us start to finish. We found her personable, positive, helpful, attentive and sincerely concerned about our experience start to finish. To be fair, her service was exemplary. I ordered a full rack with a side of cheesy bacon potatoes. The ribs had a nice bark and pretty much fell off the bone. Three sauces are offered - Sweet, Hot and Bold. Of the three my preference was the bold. It had a hint of molasses. The cheesy bacon potato side was delish and larger size-wise than I find offered at other restaurants. The rest of the table included burnt ends, onion rings, a brisket sandwich, corn nuggets and pork rinds to go. I can attest to the quality of the burnt ends and they were some of the very best I've ever had. The corn nuggets were delish as well. I HIGHLY recommend Chop's BBQ even if you're not in close proximity. It's definitely more than worth the drive to Smithville! Trust me

They also serve breakfast from 7 to 11 AM. Food came quickly. You order and they bring it to your table when ready. I had the pulled pork, baked beans, and pickle potato salad. The pulled pork was very tender and juicy. No seasoning in the meat that I could taste so it's perfect for barbecue sauce. The baked beans were mild hotness flavor, with more sauce than beans. The pickle potato salad is just that. Strong dill flavor. I was there about 5:30 PM and there was a steady flow of Customers. Smaller dining area. Seating stayed full, but the timing always worked out to find a seat with somebody leaving. There's also outdoor picnic tables. They close at 6:30 pm. Everyday except Sunday. Gas was $4.20 a gal today at the airport. Yikes!

Trying to capture how delicious everything was in one review is tough, but I'll give it my best. First off, customer service was outstanding--Lyssa truly knocked it out of the park. She was so delightful, and I couldn't help but laugh when we both got excited about my sandwich choice. These folks really know their stuff. They treat their animals with care and expertise, and it shows. Having been to many fine dining spots, I can honestly say the quality of meat here at The Upper Cut KC surpasses them all. I'm picky about my food and can tell great quality when I see it & taste it. The Upper Cut KC deserves way more than five stars--seriously, I mean it! I also tasted my daughter's brisket sandwich--absolutely tender beyond words. And don't miss their Mac & Cheese; it's worth a standing ovation! Do yourself a favor: just go and experience it! P.S.--The Butcher Shop inside brings back so many nostalgic memories.

    4 star food, 3 star pricing and wait time…read more I'm not one to complian about pricing much but $31 for just this sandwich and small side is discouraging when compared to available options in the city. I thought the brisket sandwich was fairly tasty, but it wasn't huge, the onions weren't carmelized they were grilled, and the brisket wasn't smokey. The Mac and cheese was fine and good but not great. If I lived closer and I could get the above with a soda for $20-23, I would give it 4 stars. There's nothing amazing about it to earn 5 stars even if it were priced like I wish. The place wasn't that busy, but with one register running, 4 people in line, and ringing up 2 butcher orders that came in after I was there, it took me about 12 minutes to place the order and another 20 to have my sandwich and side.

    I've been buying cows for about 11 years. I have 3 farmer buddies I buy from, and through them,…read moreI've used multiple butchers. I can confidently say that Paradise has been the worst butcher I've ever used. Is the product I received good? No. Did I receive everything I paid for? No. I've been buying through this specific farmer friend for about two years now. He decided to try out Paradise because they are closer to him, as opposed to driving several hours to the butcher we had used before. Well, this is where the nightmare began. He picked up the beef and delivered it to my house on a Saturday morning. He and I unloaded the truck while my wife loaded the freezer. Before he left, he told me to take the receipt and double-check that we weren't missing anything. The receipt ended up in one of the boxes used for delivery, so I didn't check it right away. We didn't look for it until Monday and by that time our farmer had already left for vacation. Once he got back, he sent me a picture of the receipt, and we went through our beef. To our dismay, we discovered that we were missing all 24 steaks and one roast. As soon as I realized this, I let my friend know, and he immediately notified Paradise. That's when the headache began. They told him to have us count again, make a list of everything we are missing, and contact them with the list. My wife called them, as they had asked, and their response was, "Well, we don't have it, so your farmer must have taken it." My wife was pretty shocked at this point because we had done everything they asked, yet their immediate response was to dismiss the situation and basically accuse our farmer of stealing the steaks. I contacted my friend and he called the manager to let them know we were less than impressed with the customer service at this point. They apologized and said they would help resolve the issue. Well, that turned out to be a lie, as they never returned a call to my friend until he threatened to get his lawyer involved. By this point, we had cooked our first batch of ground beef and it was a disappointment. In 11 years of buying beef, I've never received such low-quality hamburger before. Normally the hamburger I've received has been 90/10, maybe 85/15. This junk is 70/30 at best! We cooked 4 lbs of beef and drained over a pound of fat. It was so bad that we had to drain it twice because it wouldn't cook properly-it was literally being boiled in the fat. My other concern is that if they added an extra 15% of fat to the hamburger, shouldn't I have more packages of beef than usual? I can tell you I have no more than I've ever had when buying from other places. Well, they finally called my friend back, and he informed them that not only was I missing meat, but the quality was also sub-par. He told them they needed to figure out how to reimburse me for both the missing items and the poor quality ground beef. The manager said, "give me until Monday and I will call you back." Once again, that turned out to be a lie, as we haven't been able to reach them on the phone again. I was never asking for all my money back, or for them to substitute for the missing product; I just wanted a refund for the items I never received and a portion for the terrible hamburger. My recommendation to others at this point is to look somewhere else for a butcher, as Paradise's customer service is terrible. You might never hear back from them, the meat quality is poor, and you might not even receive your full order! My question is: Where did my missing steaks go, where is the extra hamburger, and for goodness sake, where's your phone?

    Formal Customer Complaint - North Kansas City, MO Location…read moreSubject: Safety Concern and Unprofessional Conduct - North Kansas City, MO Location To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a concerning and disappointing experience at your North Kansas City, Missouri location on [3/20/26] around 12:00 PM. I have visited this location multiple times in the past and have consistently received great service and food. Unfortunately, this visit was significantly different and raised serious concerns regarding customer safety, professionalism, and treatment. Party Size and Seating Issue I arrived with my family, a party of six adults and one child (2 years old). We were seated at a very small table with only one grill, which was not adequate for our party size. I politely requested a larger table, especially since the restaurant was nearly empty at the time and multiple larger tables were available. My request was denied. Serious Child Safety Hazard My 2-year-old child was placed in a high chair at the end of the table, positioned directly next to the grill control handles. Due to the table being placed against a wall, there were limited entry and exit points, and my child was within reach of the grill controls. This presented a clear and dangerous safety hazard. I calmly explained this concern to the waitress and later to a supervisor, requesting to be moved to a larger table solely for safety reasons. Despite repeatedly explaining the risk to my child, my request was denied multiple times. Unprofessional Supervisor Conduct When speaking with the supervisor, I was treated dismissively. He appeared to laugh and look at me as if I were joking while I was explaining a serious safety concern. I was told that it was "my problem" and that I needed to control my child so he would not touch the grill controls. This response was unprofessional, inappropriate, and unacceptable. Interaction With the Owner I then requested to speak with the General Manager and was told that the person I was speaking to was the owner. He stated his name very quickly and did not make an effort to clearly identify himself. He reiterated that it was "policy" not to seat our party at a larger table, despite availability and despite the safety concern involving a toddler. Additional Concern - Discriminatory Treatment I also felt uncomfortable due to what appeared to be unequal treatment. I am Hispanic, and during this interaction, I observed the owner interacting more kindly and respectfully with other customers of lighter skin tone. This added to my distress and concern regarding how I was treated. Request for Review and Resolution This situation could have resulted in a serious accident. Grill controls placed within reach of a toddler constitute a significant safety risk, and I strongly believe this seating decision violated basic safety standards. If an accident were to occur, this could expose the restaurant to serious liability. I am respectfully requesting: A formal review of this incident A written response and apology A review of seating and safety policies involving children Additional training for management regarding customer safety and professionalism I hope this matter is taken seriously. I have always enjoyed dining at your restaurant and would like to continue doing so, but this experience was unacceptable and concerning. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Adrian Avila [Phone Number or Email]
