    Wabash BBQ - Sliced Brisket

    Wabash BBQ

    TLDR; worthy of a Michelin star for ambience, but only the ribs are edible. Below-average sweet…read moreBBQ sauces, even the "spicy" sauce is bland. No liquor license. Investors: buy this distressed business and fix it. Serve beer and make a decent spicy BBQ sauce. Simplify the menu. Keep the servers. It was the day before Thanksgiving and it was a sunny day, so a short road trip was in order and this was the destination. I hadn't been to dear old Excelsior Springs in quite some time, so I was game. Although the tiny former train station is just another nondescript red brick building on the outside, the spacious inside has wonderful old-timey vibes, right down to the waitress in perfect 1950s drag makeup. We arrived around 2pm. It wasn't empty, so that was something. The first sign of trouble was the long menu with a lot of non-barbecue items for such a small place, including fried catfish and a fried chicken sandwich. I discounted this because my mother had been excited about the fried mushrooms. The second sign was that my parents only ordered the long ribs, even though they like brisket. Note: order what the experienced order. The ribs were fine--not too dry and falling off the bone, with a mellow smoke flavor. But it's hard to mess up ribs. My burnt ends were overcooked except for a few pieces, and a couple pieces were actually carbonized rather than caramelized. A travesty in the region responsible for the delicacy! The brisket was as others have described: dry, thinly-sliced. Decent but not exceptional flavor. Certainly not the tender, moist, barbecue brisket I was hoping for. I regretted eating any of what I ordered--it gave me a terrible stomach ache into the next day, despite skipping dinner and drinking a lot of hot mint tea. Rancid oil used for frying? Or just tough meat? Whatever, I learned my lesson! As for the rest: Fried (sliced) mushrooms -- fine, not over-salted, served with a light ranch sauce in a squeeze bottle. Easily enough for four people. Beans were sweet with some bits of pork in them. Possibly out of can. Cole slaw was extremely sweet and finely chopped, almost like a while salsa. Potato salad was good but nothing special.

    Wife and I came in for lunch. Wife had been in before and was excited to take me here as the food…read morewas good on her prior visit. The location was it busy and has ample seating and parking. The staff was very attentive and gave great service. The food however, was not what we were expecting... We ordered the fried mushrooms which were fine. I orders the burnt ends, ribs, and turkey and my wife also got burnt ends. The burnt ends were extremely overcooked and borderline inedible. The ribs also were overcooked- both tasted like dry pot roast. It seemed like they reheated yesterday's BBQ for service. The turkey was moist, however you could tell it was processed turkey breast . The food had very little smoke flavor. Coleslaw was not homemade. The regular fries were good, however the sweet potato fries were overcooked. Really had high expectations and walked away disappointed....
