A hidden bbq gem in Olathe. Great ribs with just the perfect KCBS doneness (you can literally see your bite perfectly). Burnt ends are really tasty and come from the point on the brisket (if you know, you know!). Great fries and nice onion straws. Definitely worth trying out! read more

I really wanted to love this place. Nice ambience. But sadly that's where it ended. I got the sampler platter. A little of everything. And some smoked ham salad. I've had outstanding smoked ham salad so I was trying not to be too harsh. But it lacked flavor at all let alone smoked. The basic consensus on the sampler was dry. The brisket and pork had a decent flavor but both were extremely dry. The regular sausage was only slightly overcooked with a distinct smoke taste. The jalepeno cheese sausage was damn near dehydrated it was so over cooked. My entire party assumed these were old product that had been reheated too many times. I hope that was it. Now for the highlights. The service was friendly and the chicken quarters were outstanding. Great flavor, juicy, a big hit. My date had ham that was also very good. Lunch for 2 (albeit a big lunch) was $70. I expected better. read more

If you are looking for delicious Corn Beef & Cabbage on St. Patrick day this is the place! Generous portion, nice thick and juicy cut smoked meat served with delicious potatoes and cabbage. Also tried their chicken wing appetizer, I say the best wings I've had. Order at front before seating, food was served quickly. Location is easy to get to with a casual atmosphere. read more

In a highly competitive BBQ city, Crazy good eats was Crazy decent Eats , BBQ sauces were decent must of them were sweet and tangy. Burnt end sandwich was very simple and ok. The burnt end burner was better onion straws were good, horseradish was decent but didn't really go well with the tangy BBQ sauce, I should have picked a different one. The cheesy corn was the best thing we got, very good. Staff were friendly seats were comfortable and they had a few TVs and a decent looking bar. I would like to try this again cause I want to give it more stars but 3 for now read more

Another great day at Crazy Good Eats! Take ALL my money the beef is so tender, so juicy and the horseradish crème is outta the world!!! The potato salad, the fries, the fried pickles and caramelized onions....they are all delicious. Way to go guys. Service is top-notch like always and we love the atmosphere. read more

Order your food at the walk up counter then sit down at the very excellent bar and enjoy a flight of very fine whiskeys. I had the brisket with onion straws and a side of fried pickles. M had the baby back ribs. So very good! Then, at the bar we had their house recipe Old Fashioned. Watched Martin at the bar torch the orange peel right then. Delicious! Loved every bite and sip. I would say, between the bar and the food, I think this place FAR BETTER than Joe's or Q-39. And. Their Saturday Special is a smoked, reverse-seared ribeye or cowboy steak. Definitely coming back TONIGHT for that! Service is great, food is great, ambience is happy. I loved it!! Oh, and, later that same day we did carry out the smoked, reverse seared cowboy steak with baked potatoes and grilled asparagus. I am sorry I didn't get a photo. It was packaged already sliced with the bone included. Do NOT be concerned about the price tag on this meal because it was not only spectacularly good, but there are easily 2-3 more meals in there. I seriously believe 4 adults would be very happy sharing this one steak. But. There wouldn't be any leftovers and too many people would have to fight for the bone! I will certainly be replaying this meal until I return for another. read more

Just tried this place for the first time a couple of days ago. Placed an order to go for two sandwiches and sweet potato fries. The sandwiches were fine. The $7 sweet potato fries were burnt to the point that they were inedible. It's not like I walked in two minutes before closing time. The cook was the one who called out when my order was ready and he sent me on my way with a straight face. Seriously? It would have only taken a few more minutes to redo the fries ( they were not busy at all) but instead they assured that I won't return as a customer. read more

Service is friendly food came up quickly, the sliced brisket sandwich which was very dry and overwhelmed by the bun The only moisture came from the sauce, which was quite good french fries were OK. I think there is better barbecue at a better price point at other locations in Johnson County. read more

Absolutely incredible barbecue chicken--some of the best I've ever had. You can tell right away that this place takes their craft seriously. The bone-in chicken is smoked to perfection--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The seasoning hits that perfect balance of spicy and sweet, and the smoke flavor runs deep without overpowering the meat. Whoever's behind the grill clearly knows their way around competition BBQ--the way the meat is trimmed and presented shows real skill and pride. Highly recommend if you're a fan of well-executed, flavorful barbecue chicken. I'll definitely be back! read more

The BBQ is great and not fatty, selections of sauces, easy to get in and out, service is exceptional. Strongly encourage you to visit and order in or take out. So many wonderful selections to choose from. read more

This cute little BBQ joint in Olathe knows how to serve up the meats. It's a casual, counter-service spot--no date-night vibes, unless your love language is smoked ribs and paper napkins. The ribs are consistently tender & tasty. It's not in my top 5 BBQ spots. But hey--KC has high 'cue standards. Still, it's a solid lunch option when you're craving something meaty and low-key. read more

Have driven by this establishment how many times? Thought - just another average bbq joint in the midst of a land of bbq joints. Then friends suggested we meet there for a Sunday lunch - what a find - great bbq (not just an average bbq joint) and friendly attentive service. Has now been added to the top tier when we are deciding on local bbq. read more

The fries were good but the bbq was tough and dry. You ordered food at one window, then ordered beer at the bar. The food wasn't delivered, you had to retrieve it, then bus your table. In other words, there was no service. It seemed like more of a local bar hangout than a restaurant. The bbq was definitely an afterthought. read more

FPO and I finally found BBQ to rival Q39. It's a much more low-key experience and we really enjoyed it. Went in on a Sunday after church and errands. The place was about half full because of all the NFL games going on. Each tv had a different game and it was really cool to see them all. You order at the front counter and get a number. They have a full bar for adult beverages for those not wanting water or the softs. Our food can quickly and the workers were always visible and friendly. I really liked the fish. Nice smoke. The chicken was good too, not dry at all. FPO the carnivore loved the pork and beef BBQ. And their sides were very tasty; not quite as elaborate as Q39 but still really good and a value for the price. The place looks like it was a garage in its former life but it's very clean. Even the other patrons were friendly, everyone getting into whichever game was being talked about at the time. We lucked out with this one and will absolutely go back. read more

We visited this place twice: once to dine in and again a couple weeks later for carry out. We have had different experiences both times. Here is what we think: Consistency: 2/10 Both times, we got the chicken wings. When we dined in, they were some of the best chicken wings we've had in a while! The carryout experience was different. They were out and were in the process of making them. Instead of taking their time, they rushed the cooking process and the chicken was tough and lacked flavor. It was a major let down. Customer Service: 7/10 The manager/owner is always top-notch! He is personable, friendly, and knows how to make a customer feel welcome. The bar tender is nice as well. I was not too crazy with the folks taking orders at the register. It was obvious they were going through the motions and seemed annoyed if customer's had a question or needed something clarified. There is also little to no diversity among the staff. Food: 8/10 The meatballs are truly amazing! They have lots of flavor and cooked perfectly! The turkey is also tender and loaded with flavor. Depending on your tastebuds, you may think the BBQ sauce is mid to okay at best. I have had better sauces. As stated above, the chicken wings are to die for if you dine in. I do not recommend carrying them out. It will not be the same experience. The prices are what you would expect from a BBQ place, but after our carryout experience, we think it is a bit steep for what you get. Overall: 5.7/10 I recommend dining in. The food is absolutely decent for BBQ and it can be great. We would give this place another try in the future. read more

We held our son's graduation party out on the patio this past weekend. It was a perfect experience! SO many people raved about the food. The owner, Bruce, was great to work with and the bartender was so nice and helpful. Would highly recommend!! read more

We have gluten free folks in our family. Love that they list GF options, have GF buns as well and list their GF sauces. On top of that, their food is great! I've never had a bad experience with their food. It is a go-to for our family. read more

The prices were high for cold fries, and dry barbecue. Maybe give this a try on the weekends the service and food might be different read more

It was take out and served at a group function. Was not impressed. Potato casserole was almost inedible. Meats were okay at best. Have certainly had better BBQ elsewhere. read more

I went to CGE last week and I probably go there 2-3 times a month. They have a great Happy Hour, Service and Bar. Their wings are the best in Olathe and the other BBQ items are always on point. I know everyone has their favorite BBQ here in the KC area but if you are living in or near Olathe, you should give them a try. You probably would find it worthwhile. read more

My burnt ends were cold and old. My friend's ham was mediocre. My other friend had a brisket sandwich. The only thing which was even close to OK were the fries. They were very good. read more

Passed by the spot so many times on the way home & never thought to go in. One day, I was craving a bbq sandwich but didn't want to wait at the well know Kansas bbq spots around. Crazy good eats looked like it was recently remodeled because the garage style windows and the bar looked brand new! Ordered the burnt end sandwich with the onion straws because why not. The customer service was nice as this place isn't a sit down but had the feel of it. The sand which had this unique twist to a classic burnt end sand which with horseradish aioli instead of Mayo. The sand which was hardy and perfect for a gut filling meal. Now the onion strings were dumped into my basket. It was so much that I decided to bring the 2 servings worth home for my wife. They had three different bbq sauces that paired well with the meal. I was definitely happy to find this place just down the street. I give crazy good eats a 4/5. Perfect for a big lunch or quick/easy dinner vs waiting for 40 min plus at some of the other spots around. read more

I had the burnt ends which were fairly lean and it came with a side and small piece of cornbread. I chose baked beans as side - beans really sweet but not overwhelmingly so. Cornbread good and came with butter. Burnt ends were tender and delicious. You get your own fountain drinks. The half chicken dinner looked outstanding. Three barbecue sauce - KC style, sweet and hot. All had similar flavors and were all KC style to me with molasses and sweetness with pepper. Great place recommended to me by others and I have to admit - great recommendation and I highly recommend as well. read more

The food is decent. And while the staff is super friendly, it's slow as h***. Hard to get a beer and the food took forever.

This spot is hidden but so cute on the inside! Service is incredible and very friendly. Stopped in due to a Facebook offer - and sure glad we did because not sure if I would of ever found this place on my own! The wings are AMAZING! Theyre super crispy and delicious and have 3 different sauce options. We got the 1/3 lb plate with brisket and I tried the loaded potato casserole (yum) and it came with cornbread. The brisket was tender but a little on the cooler side and would of been nicer if it was hot. And the cornbread was sweet and moist but almost like it came out of the fridge? The bbq on the table was a nice change of flavor between all of them! We will definitely be back and glad we stopped in today to support a local business! read more

Good bbq. Really liked the brisket and garlicky tasting mac and cheese. Red headed kid running the register was adorable. Make sure ti check your receipt my sister got overcharged, honest mistake and they refunded her. read more

Thanks for a great lunch! The brisket was amazing, loved the onion strings, and we'll be back for a full order of burnt ends!

Really good food and friendly staff. Service fast. Price, reasonable. Would recommend to anyone looking for some BBQ.

Got my usual pulled pork with beans and burnt ends and brisket. Also tried their jalapeño poppers which were good. Didn't like the sauce here. Pulled pork was good but not moist enough to enjoy dry. Beans were good with a mild chili flavor. Burnt ends were really good especially after my mouth was spicy from the jalapeños. I'm sure the brisket is just as good. read more

Honestly one and done for me. For $42 I got small BBQ nacho, KC original sandwich and 2 meats brisket/ ribs with fries. I asked for extra pickles and the guy literally gave me 2 slice per platter.I didn't like none of their sauces. All their sauces was overly sweet to me. All the meats on our plates were less than warm. The meats were dry and some spots were still little chill. The best thing on your plate was the fries. It was hot and fresh. I'm disappointed because I came in with high hopes. read more

If you love salt, this is the bbq for you. Gave them another chance after 4 or 5 years since the last visit. The service was fine, but omg so salty on the ribs. I had my wife try it to see if I was imagining things, and she spit it out. I'll try the chicken tomorrow. I lost my appetite. read more

Crazy Good Eats - 2 meat plate with green beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Olathe, Kansas

We went this weekend and were very disappointed. We ordered burnt ends, brisket and pulled pork. All came out cold and there was very little if any smoke flavor. We also ordered an old fashioned at the bar, and it was pre-mixed - apparently well before we got there because it essentially tasted like sugar water. That said, the baked beans were hot and delicious and the Aunt Bea's salad was great. We have loved this place for years and hope it was an off night, but probably won't go back. As my wife said, about the best we can say is, it wasn't inedible. read more
