When in KC, you have to get some burnt ends, amirite? Meat Mitch fits the bill, famous for their burnt ends and "whomp sauce" made from the drippings. I had the cheddar jalapeño sausage and the burnt ends which were great with the whomp bbq sauce and yellow brick road bbq sauce. Sides fell flat: the mac & cheese was lukewarm and gelatinous, the creamy coleslaw was mostly cream, and they accidentally gave me some fries which I tried and were not bad, but just pretty much average seasoned fries. So, the meat is the star not surprisingly! Another thing to know is they did not tell me that I was ordering for Takeaway and they did not offer me a seat so there was some uncomfortable confusion when the server who section I sat on, seemed ready to cast me out after I just paid $38 for barbecue for one. Ambience is meh, but it's the airport, so I had no expectations there.
Traveling through KS and stumbled upon this gem. They have table options, however I placed my order at the to-go counter with a very kind and humorous young lady lol. I ordered the brisket chili which was surprisingly really good for airport food. Flavorful and they didn't skimp on the meat. The only complaint was that it was not large enough, I definitely could have eaten double the portion size. Overall really good!!!
If you want some bbq while waiting for your flight, highly recommend checking them out. They do have the option of placing an order to go in case you rather eat at your gate or grab a drink at the wine bar right next to it which is exactly what i did. The young woman working the to go counter was nice and even brought me my food while I was sitting at the wine bar. I think I have my new go to routine when I go to the airport again.
I had previously tried Meat Mitch's Leawood location and so I wanted to show my family the restaurant while we were waiting in the airport. It fully lived up to the other location! We ordered two dishes, The Mac Daddy and the Cheesy Hog Fries. Both were extremely delicious. The Mac Daddy had super tender, melt in your mouth burnt ends with creamy and flavorful Mac n cheese. The Cheesy Hog Fries were insanely packed with flavor, they were surprisingly sweet. The food came out almost immediately after ordering and had a bunch of sauces to try. Overall it was absolutely amazing. Only issue is the server was not familiar with the beers, which is not a big deal at all. The tables are a little too tightly packed together.
Just grabbed a bite to eat at the airport location prior to a flight. Disappointed is a good word to start with. I had the Naked and Afraid. I essentially got a crumpled sandwich with mostly fatty burnt ends, a couple of slices of sausage, and a few Jalapeños. It was cool to the touch and lacked the charred mayo. I'm still not sure what the matchstick potato is because there was nothing else on my platter, aside from a couple of pickle slices and a few slices of red onion. My wifey got the Pickled Pig. Her sandwich definitely contained more meat than mine, sadly was also tepid. As for the fried pickles, she finally found 1!!! She added a side order of curly fries, and unfortunately, they were tepid as well and tasted like they were previously heated in a microwave oven. The service was definitely lacking in both attentiveness and geniality. The fact that Kansas City is world renowned for their BBQ makes this dining experience an unforgivable atrocity.
wow what a place!! Inside the MCI airport, sits this cute lil BBQ place. We decided to share a few things including the cheesy hog fries and the Mac Daddy. Both were delicious!!!!! I am not a super fan of BBQ but i was pleasantly surprised. The server did not know much about the beers on tap. Besides that, the service was quick and good. Food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. I would absolutely come back here!
Great spot in the MCI airport. My flight was delayed by an hour so I decided to try this joint. This place hit the spot. Even though it's located in the Airport, it still gave BBQ joint vibes. Only thing missing were the community tables. The waitress was super friendly and very helpful. It wasn't very busy so there wasn't a rush and I was attended to in a very timely manner. I was in the mood for a burger so I had the smash burger which was good. It was a perfect smash burger and it was very yummy. This place is definitely a keeper for my stops through KC.
Updated review. I don't love the BBQ or the sauces here. Not great, just marginal. However, the smash burger is pretty good and the brisket chili is FANTASTIC!! Today, our server, Timothy, was super fast and efficient!!! It was a completely different experience than the last two times I was here. I hope they continue providing quick and efficient service.
Got a brisket Sammy before I got on my flight. I tell you what it was one of the best that I have had in awhile. I really like the buns they have there. They are very soft and kind of like buttery. Not flaky and fluffy like a cheap hamburger bun. It came with tons of brisket on it, bbq sauce and some onions I think. That brisket Sammy was awesome!!! It filled me up for my 3 hour flight. The coleslaw was amazing too. It was creamy and tasty and even had some purple onions it it that made it pop and have a spicy flavor. I got the order to go and took it to the bar just outside of the restaurant. I would definitely come back here the next time I am at MCI.
I was a little skeptical of eating BBQ at the airport, but the food was good. The brisket and burnt ends were not dry. The house BBQ sauce was tasty. I didn't eat much of the sides, but the beans had a unique flavor. Service was quick, as you would expect with folks needing to make their flights. Glad to have this option instead of fast food or some chain restaurant. Good job Mitch!
Fantastic selection of Kansas City barbecue without ever leaving the airport. The flavors are authentic, portions are solid, and it's a must-try if you're passing through. Perfect way to get a taste of KC before takeoff or after landing!
Airport location- Got the ribs and a cocktail. Ribs came with two sides- I chose the Cole slaw and baked beans. Was very filling and portion was generous. Satisfied my bbq craving. Service was outstanding. Julie took good care of me.
Immediately greeted and sat and told who my server would be while handing me a menu. My server gave me just enough time to let me look at menu before asking my drink choice. The flow of the restaurant is open with great corner floor to ceiling windows and a view. I order the "Wanderlust" drink and I highly recommend very refreshing and great flavor. The food of choice was a three meat platter of brisket, pulled pork and jalapeño cheese sausage. Sides were Mac and cheese and beans. The sausage is fantastic!! The pulled pork was dry and needed the sauce choice from the 6 on the table brisket a little on chewy side but still would purchase again. Both the greeter and server reminded me no turkey. Overall a good experience and will repeat when at the Kansas City Airport.

Delicious and satisfying meal at the Kansas City Airport. Meat Mitch Barbecue had great flavor and service. Located at the KC airport, there was plenty of seating available. The food came out fast and our server was really kind. I got the Mac Daddy. It had tender, burnt ends, paired with creamy, savory macaroni and cheese. The dish was rich, comforting and left me sleepy! Exactly what I wanted. The vibe of the restuarant is clean and approachable. Lots of natural lighting from the airport, and it was nice watching the planes take off. read more
This was another great meal at Meat Mitch! The service was great and I had my order in fast. It was nice having a seat by the window. The food came out quick and my smash burger was pure heaven! It was cooked beautifully! The curly fries made me feel like a kid again. They were fried well and the serving was massive! Great food, great service! read more

I've always heard that KC had the best BBQ, so I had to try it after finding out I had a layout here. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to leave the airport, so airport BBQ would have to do. This spot was reasonably priced for an airport and the staff was very friendly. One of the servers even sat down and had a conversation with me. That's the first time that's ever happened to me . I have to admit, I don't eat a lot of BBQ but I can say for sure that these briskets were the most tender I've ever eaten. If airport BBQ is this good, I can't imagine how good the iconic KC spots will be. A must try if I ever visit again. read more
Want to give a shout out to JULIE! She was amazing with what she was working with. There were a few items that were unavailable, staffing was short and kitchen wasn't doing the best, but Julie was rocking it! GET THE FRIED PICKLES! They were fried perfectly and ranch was included! I got the smoked fried chicken salad and a few topping were missing; bacon and potatoe stix. The salad was pretty boring and the chicken was cold but had good breading. We also got kids burgers, beware there were jalapeños on it. Not sure why it was added on a child's meal. There was a self service draft beer station, which was pretty cool, didn't use it but awesome feature! read more
Meat Mitch is good and getting better. In most cases, I can never understand why restaurants don't deliver the same quality when they're inside an airport. At least with barbecue, I know some of the challenges they have to provide to the same level as the home restaurant. With Meat Mitch, it seems as if they are working out some of those issues, and each time I stop here, it's a little better, a little better, and a bit better. Pretty soon, I will be expecting perfection, and then delivering just like what I have become accustomed to. in the meantime, it's as good as you can get in the airport. read more
convenient, yummy, and quick service! it was one of the only food places open at the airport for our super super early flight in the morning so we ordered their super bowl. there wasn't anywhere sit in the place but ofc the airport had tons of seating elsewhere. the portion was large and shareable and the food was hot and fresh. the jalapeños might've been a bit much for that early in the morning but it was very good. hoping to try their lunch next time! read more

Great food. Questionable pricing. Got a mini BBQ baked beans and a Super creamy Mac & cheese. They both came in the same size container. Other menu pictures clearly show a larger Mac & cheese. read more

When I enter a city, I'm always looking for the foods that city specializes in. So when I dropped into Kansas City, I just had to have some of that sweet and rich BBQ that KC is known for. What surprised me was that I was able to find some right in the airport. I had a 3 hour connection delay which is long enough to get something to eat, but not longe enough to Uber and go out of the airport. Fortunately, Pitmaster Mitch Benjamin's newest location is in the middle of the new KCI terminal and has been serving Q since it opened in March 2023. It's tough to do quality food in an airport because of logistics, fluctuating crowds, limited space etc. Bit even tougher to do good slow cooked meats and sides, yet Meat Mitch is able to pull it off. Service - Our server Amanda was by herself this Sunday evening yet she was friendly and efficient and kept the tables and bottle tops clean. I asked her what her favorite dish was and without blinking she said "Cheesy Hog Fries". She said, "I eat them almost every day", yet her slender build did not corroborate her story. Cheesy Hog Fries (5 stars) - A whopping mound of Curley does that can easily feed 5. Topped with pulled pork, pig candy, melted tillamook cheddar, pickled jalapeño, and ranch and you've got an ultimate comfort food. Bigger and better than expected, plus the fries were crispy and the sauce was just drizzled in and it too heavy. BBQ Plate (4 Stars) - Pull tender brisket and smokey pulled pork were moist and flavorful. I only wish there was more. Sides - (4.5 stars) - The baked beans were sweet and rich and loaded with chunks of burnt ends. Savory and surprisingly good. The Cole slaw had a nice blend of sweet and vinegar and a sprinkling of chopped vegetables. Power Crunch Salad (4 Stars) - Often salads are an afterthought at airports and BBQ places but this one was nicely done with avocado, quinoa, hunks of apple, candied walnuts, craisins, pickled onion, and two cups of lemon vinaigrette. Light and tasty. ProTip - Hunt down a bottle of "Whomp" early because most tables run out fast. Wanna catch some KC BBQ but can't leave the airport? Try Meat Mitch read more

I was not happy about the fries not being included. I paid $5.75 for them and they were decent but not worth the $5.75. I ordered The Royal Double burger and it was pretty darn good. I recommend it despite it being expensive $13.80. It's one of those things though - this was the only nearby restaurant in the airport that had a halfway decent Yelp and Google rating and I was hungry and had a long layover and so I didn't have much of a choice. Service was decent once I was seated but prior to that I was standing there for 5 minutes waiting to be seated and there was a line behind me waiting as well. read more
I decided to get the Competition Style Burnt Ends Platter to take away my second time at Mitch's Meat. I enjoyed it so much the first time. Big mistake this time around. All Star Platters. Specifically says that each come with Pickles, Texas Toast and two mini sides. 1) When I opened the container after i got on my plane, it missing the Texas toast! 2) I got the 2 mini sides of coleslaw. I got them, but instead of having the a lid (so that the slaw sauce was contained), they had it wrapped in cling wrap which was messy and dripping into the container with the burnt ends. Took off 3 stars and left two for the burnt ends. They're good, but it would have been better if I had gotten what I paid for. Felt ripped off. Note to others. Open your take away before walking away. Makes me think that they may do this intentionally since everyone ordering take away is trying to catch a flight leaving pretty soon (therefore not eating in.) read more
Wow, talk about incredible airport dining this it it! Tender burnt ends and brisket, these are absolutely mouth watering, Nice variety of sweet and spicy bbq sauces to choose from. The slaw and beans are on point along with the crispy toast too. Don't waste your time at the chain restaurants inside just go here and do yourself and your stomach a favor. read more

I ordered the loaded brisket chili plus a side of curly fries. The chili was topped with sour cream, shredded cheese, and green onions. I also received packets of crackers to eat with the chili. The side of fries seemed a little more steep in price for the amount received. Overall the food was decent for airport food and I was served very quickly by friendly staff. If you are looking for a drink, they only have a self serve can choice, 3 pre-made cocktails, or 3 options on tap. When I asked for a rum & coke I was recommended to go to the bar right outside the BBQ spot. Overall, I recommend if you go in mind that it is airport BBQ. read more

Service was spectacular and the food was good! Better than some other BBQ places. However, the add-on St.Louis ribs were not worth it. BBQ was also not too hot/warm. But brisket and burnt ends tasted great. read more
