I came to MudBug after seeing a video online recommending it. I was not disappointed! The staff was very helpful and the chefs were very welcoming. I got a Shrimp Po Boy and a Basa sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious but I think my favorite was the red beans and rice with andouille sausage. I'm excited to come back and try more delicious food! read more

Mudbug is a southern, Cajun style restaurant and food truck that offers po boy sandwiches. The food is absolutely incredible and delicious. There is plenty of indoor seating for guest as well. I give it only 4 stars for a few reasons. First, their hours are really odd. The sandwiches are big which makes them more suitable for dinner, it they only serve lunch hours. The location is pretty hidden if you don't know where it is. Additionally, the main knock I have for the restaurant is that they charge extra for water cups as well as paying by credit card. They do not have signs or warnings, so we were surprised by this when we checked the receipt. The price of water should be built into the price given that no sides are provided either. As for the payment method, we would have paid in cash if we knew about the extra charge. Overall, the food is absolutely incredible, but the way they run their business causes frustration among customers. From weird hours to nickle-and-diming, I now understand why customers don't want to come back. read more

Really tasty shrimp po boy and Great house bottles of hot sauce! The chef has a few accolades as a chief displayed on the wall and there is a fair amount of space for friends or family. read more

terribly rude, to costumers and to the workers they are as cheap as possible, rude and unprofessional

Best Cajun food around! Great service and prices too. You don't want to miss this place!

Mudbug's is always a hit. I've not got anything from here that I didn't like. Mudbug's specializes in po' boys, but they aren't your ordinary po' boys. These are some of the most unique and tasty sandwiches that you'll ever have. They are packed so full that you can almost make another po' boy with the filling that falls out when you're eating it. I think I may go to Mudbug's tomorrow because I'm getting hungry typing this. 2 thumbs up read more

Some of the best food I've ever had! The Shrimp Po' Boy is phenomenal from start to finish. We've eaten here dozens of times and have never left disappointed. You can absolutely tell that this is a labor of love for Chef Chris. He has several home-run dishes already and he's constantly coming up with new and exotic specials, but never to the detriment of his classics. The restaurant itself is very casual with a nice Cajun ambiance. Not over-the-top like you'd find at a franchise - just a small, family-owned establishment with food that speaks for itself! read more

We just went there for the first time this afternoon. Pros: Chicken and andoullie sandwich was as good as any sandwich I've ever had. The meat was amazing, but the combination of other ingredients kicked it over the top. Cons: Food coma. My wife had excellent gumbo. read more

I can't use a picture because all my food is gone. If you want a great bang for your buck, Mudbug is definite the place to go. I have 3 teenagers who are completely full when finished eating. Good flavors, large portions, friendly staff is all I can say. I love it. read more

We love the shrimp po'boy, but everything there is great. The sandwiches are huge and the staff is very friendly.

Cajun dusted Mako shark served over lemon pepper slaw and topped with a shrimp Florentine sauce. This was a Friday night special and like all of the sandwiches it is a two fisted monster! But, not only is it big it's loaded with freshness and flavor! read more

This place is incredible!! The po boys are out of this world delicious and the fried okra is awesome too. Staff are super friendly and the food is just as delicious when carrying out so COVID is no problem. Highly recommend!! read more

Po' Boys! North of the river! Small space just opened up on Vivion next to Big Burger. Have seen a food truck outside a few times also. We got a fried shrimp and a chicken and andouille po'boys, cup of gumbo and a kids chicken fingers. All the po'boys come with crawfish sauteed in garlic butter on it too. Sandwiches were great, we preferred the shrimp over the chicken and andouille. Will try the basa next time. Gumbo was good, not too spicy but there is an assortment of hot sauces available if you want. Chicken fingers were good as well. read more

Loved it! Can't wait to go back! The food is amazing and the staff is delightful. The head chef is very involved with his customers. Comes out of the kitchen any chance he gets to interact. Definitely worth the 30 minute done for us. We discovered that the restaurant is about a block away from Penguin Park, so it makes a great family outing. The kids loved the food and had fun running around afterwards at the park. read more

Mudbug Mobile Madness - Basa po'boy! - Food Trucks Near Me

The KC poboy, the Chicken and Andouille Gumbo, and the jambalaya were off the charts. This was my first visit, and every thing was great, along with the customer service. I went to the location in North KC,but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the food truck from now on. read more

Incredible....i was looking for a good meal while here for business and ran across this awesome place!!! Great food awesome staff

Great roast beef sandwich! Guy came by and gave my friend and I some free jambalaya as well. It was my first time dining but it certainly won't be my last! read more

I have had several friends talk about this place so my wife and I decided to give it a try. Being from NOLA I was not sure what to expect, but these unique po-boys were delicious. Chef Chris has done a great job putting his own spin on this southern staple. I had the Seahog and my wife had the shrimp po-boy and they had tons of shrimp and they were perfectly prepared. We also had a side of red beans and rice and gumbo and they were ok. (We have a very high bar for those dishes so we graded them very tough) While eating there we overheard several people saying great things about the blue crab cake po-boy and the jambalaya. Looking forward to trying them next. Everyone from the Chef to the staff was super nice and very attentive. Definitely a must try. read more

Excellent. We tried Shrimp Po'Boy, Roast Beef Po'Boy, Red Beans & Rice and Fried Okra for sides and all of it was delicious. We enjoyed that each sandwich had it's own style of dressings (polenta/slaw on the Shrimp & french fries on the Roast Beef), instead of all being the same sandwich with different meat options, though all sandwiches come with a topping of crawfish meat too. The sandwiches are stuffed and I had to bring half of mine home with me. The staff was super friendly and chatted it up with us for a little while, giving us a little history on the place and such. He also brought out small samples of their gumbo for us to try. Wow! So hearty and flavorful with Chicken and Andoullie. Nothing it too hot or spicy, just the right amount of seasonings for each dish. We'll be back again in the next 2 weeks I'm sure. Can't wait to try their seafood jambalaya next! read more

Chef Chris is incredible. He advised me how to order low carb meals. Gumbo, no rice. Po boy, no bread, slaw and holy trinity instead. The food was heavenly. -- Jake read more

Very NOLA. Typical place that you'd see on the corner in New Orleans. Not fancy but who needs fancy when the food is great. Shrimp P Boy was delish. They stuffed the bun to the max with shrimp and crawfish with coleslaw, tomatoes, onion. Polenta, cheese etc. I was shocked at the amount of shrimp. The okra want heavy breaded and so good. I only wish I could have eaten it all. Not 5 stars due to no napkin holder in the table, no salt/pepper on the table and no water by the glass. You had to buy a bottle. We try a new place every Saturday and this was worth the 45 min drive. Very good truckish with no real dishes, plastic wear etc cutting them slack in that. Definitely a go back to place. read more

So dang good!! Get the KC Po' Boy! I was so impressed. Service was great. She even gave us samples of the soups. Incredible, as well. Huge sandwich! read more

Did somebody say Shrimp Poboy? It is the best sandwich I've ever had! My husband loves the jambalaya and gumbo. Mudbugs staff is extremely friendly. The store is well kept and clean. Nothing more you could ask for! read more

I was sooo happy to see the Mudbug truck on my way to work today, I have been wanting to try them for awhile now. I'm glad I did! I got the KC Po' Boy and it was AWESOME! It was so loaded that I could hardly take a bite! But as soon as I tasted it, I couldn't stop eating! And the fries! OMG! The fries were fantastic! I hope you guys come back towards Downtown KC because I can't wait to try another Po' Boy. The only negative thing was that there wasn't enough mudbugs on my sandwich (I got like 3 or 4), but I didn't care, the Po' Boy was good without them! Thanks for a filling (yet sleepy) afternoon! read more

We love Mudbug! I love every Po Boy I've tried (usually get shrimp but the crab cake special, omg, it was amazing), and even my super picky kids love the gumbo. I hate coleslaw with the burning passion of a thousand fiery suns but somehow, Chef Chris makes his actually taste good. Speaking of Chef Chris - he is awesome. He's someone who clearly loves what he does and loves spending time with his customers. It's always lovely going there. :) read more

Everything that comes from this place is delicious. They have great daily specials and the quality of food is always excellent.

Third time visiting and finally decided to review. The Po boys are amazing. Flavorful, perfectly seasoned and alot of food for your money. The seafood jambalaya is delicous and today he gave us a sample of the gumbo, out of this world tasty. The staff is appreciative of your business and chef Chris is very nice and will walk thru the small dining area and talk to customers. If you have any hesitations about going, just stop and go. You will not be disappointed. read more

Great food and friendly owner/chef. He sent samples of gumbo and jambalaya to our table while we waited for our poboys. Everything we had was delicious. We will definitely be back to try more menu items. read more

Stopped in today for the first time. I had the poboy. It was excellent. It was a huge sandwich with excellent slaw. Excited that this place is here. Hopefully it sticks around. read more

So much food and so much deliciousness. Chef Chris, the owner, is always there to make you feel at home. Do your self a favor and stop by.

My favorite eatery in KC! Delicious food, friendly staff, and affordable! My favorite is the basa po'boy

Great little place. Awesome huge po boy sandwiches, nice folks, incredible value. Tried the roast beef sandwich - off the hook. Red beans and rice - delicious. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu read more

There is no other place like this north of the river! In fact, I don't think there is another place like this period! Po' Boys each with their own unique set up, gumbo, red beans and rice, and a kick ass jambalaya! If you haven't made it to the restaurant yet, you need to reevaluate your priorities and get there NOW! read more
