This definitely is on the lower end of my bbq list of Kansas City. We got this delivered, which…read moresure maybe that altered the results but nonetheless we shall move on. I ordered the 3 meat plate, which I chose brisket (my fave), came with sausage and ribs. Got an order of corn nuggets and le bf ordered a turkey sandwich. The turkey sandwich was as PALE as can get and looked definitely like Budig store bought meat. Which isn't bad, but when you're used to having a delish smoked turkey sandwich from every other bbq spot, this was extremely underwhelming. Brisket was the driest meat I've ever had. Ribs were good, sausage was the best. Sauce was delish, tangy but sweet and corn nuggets saved the day but overall wouldn't be back.

They were delicious. Homemade pie for only $4.50 a slice amazing! We had the Dixie pie and even bought one to take out. The service was good and the dining area very comfortable with a western theme decor.

I've found our new favorite restaurant for our weekly BBQ fix at J's BBQ! This was my second visit…read morein three weeks, and I can't rave enough about the food, ambiance, and service. My first trip was with my teenage son who loves ribs. We went for their unbeatable Wednesday/Saturday $18 full rack rib special. We shared the ribs and still had plenty left to take home. The meat was tender, smoky, and perfectly cooked. The BBQ beans were outstanding with just the right balance of smokiness and sweetness, and the seasoned crinkle-cut fries were addictive. This past weekend I brought the whole family of five. We're longtime regulars at KC Joe's, so I was a little nervous about a potential mutiny , but everyone loved it! My wife's face lit up the moment we walked in. She said it felt like a cozy restaurant we'd stumble upon while on vacation. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming with plenty of comfortable booths, warm lighting, and that perfect smoky BBQ aroma that hits you right when you enter. I went with the sausage and brisket combo, and it easily holds its own against most of the BBQ I grew up eating in Texas. One child ordered the kid's hot dog meal, and it was one of the best hot dogs I've tasted. Another got the brisket "Sloppy Mess" sandwich, and my wife had the shredded pork sandwich. Every single plate was a hit, and the whole family agreed we've found a new favorite. The owner was incredibly friendly and took the time to chat with us about how he opened the restaurant. It's always great to see that kind of passion! My only feedback is that I wish they stayed open a bit later. They close at 7pm on Sundays and 8pm the rest of the week. With a 20-minute drive from Overland Park and a family of five to wrangle, we could roll up right around closing time. A little extra time would make it perfect which I anticipate will happen the more people discover them. All in all, J's BBQ has officially earned a regular spot in our weekly rotation. If you're in the area and craving quality BBQ in a family-friendly setting, do yourself a favor and check it out!

I got their signature burnt end sandwich, signature beans, and wedge fries. Since I picked it up, I got a chance to check out the place. It was very clean and super busy, which is always a great sign. My food was ready right when I arrived and still piping hot. Everything survived the ride home intact. The sandwich was superb--the burnt ends were tender and incredibly flavorful. The baked beans were just as good, packed with a generous amount of meat. The fries stayed mostly crispy on the drive back, and, as is my tradition, I used the baked beans as a dipping sauce for them! They included two of their sauces, which was plenty. The only minor letdown was the pickle, which seemed to be the runt of the litter. That said, I can easily look past it given how excellent everything else was. As a spice fanatic, I tossed on a few hot peppers from my garden to round out the feast.

I should have returned them after the first bite. Quality was awful. * onion rings - good taste, some quit a bit darker than others. * slaw - very good. Overall very disappointing.

We visited Zarda BBQ in Blue Springs on 08-06-2026 at 2:52 pm…read more Our nephew has been visiting us from Colombia and, after all of the places we have been the past three weeks, he said that Zarda BBQ was his favorite, so we wanted to treat him to the best before he departs for home. Our order taker was Donna T. At Zarda BBQ you order at the counter, they provide you with your receipt that has your number on it, and they call when your number/order is ready. They help brings items to your table if you like. We got the Meat Platter (includes 4 sides for $56.25) and we selected 2 orders of Fries and 2 orders of BBQ Baked Beans. The 1/2 lb sliced beef, 1/2 lb sliced ham, 5 oz sliced sausage, and 1/2 slab ribs were all delicious and wonderful. The fries were made to order as usual, were hot and crispy on the outside while being fluffy on the inside. The beans had a very good flavor, a slight peppery sweetish taste but great flavor. In addition we also got a #2 Rib Plate Dinner (includes 2 sides and medium soft drink for $22.00) and selections were Cheesy Potato Bake and Crispy Brussels, soft drink was Diet Dr Pepper. The ribs were perfect as expected. The Potato Bake was very flavorful and cheesy, potatoes good perfectly. The Crispy Brussels (Brussels sprouts) were cooked and seasoned very excellent, nicely crisped like under a broiler yet had moisture and texture to remain flavorful and very good. The Diet Dr Pepper was brixed perfectly and refills are free. In addition, we got a regular Thursday special 1/2 Chicken (includes one side on Thursday for $16.50) and the side chosen was Green Beans. The chicken was very nicely smoked and had a wonderful moistness to it, not dried out, very flavorful! The green beans were a good texture and nicely seasoned. To be sure we had sufficient to take home afterward, we also ordered a Full Slab of Ribs ($28.50) which, wow, today they were offering all ribs for 25% off!. I asked if that was a regular Thursday thing or something and Donna said no, it was something they offer periodically. Our lucky day! When we left at 3:52 pm, we ordered two more slabs to take home since that was such a great value. The ribs were all perfectly smoked, tender, pull slightly off the bone, not overcooked and not undercooked, My wife got water and our nephew got Dr Pepper. He said his Dr Pepper was perfect. The atmosphere was great, the personnel were all great as well. All attentive yet not overbearing. The restaurant was clean, no tables with dishes sitting around. When a table of customers left there was an employee promptly to clear the table. Restrooms were very clean and nicely appointed. We noticed a family that this was apparently their first day at Zarda BBQ. They did an excellent job explaining the menu and options available. Overall, a perfect visit to Zarda BBQ in Blue Springs. We will be returning again and recommend it. Also, they were able to remedy my VIP Club issue so that made things even better!

I took advantage and ordered the Hog Wild. It was BIG and did NOT disappoint. As a bacon aficionado, it was like the icing on the cake, so to speak. It's a BIG, BEAUTIFUL, TASTY sammie. Plenty enough to half and satisfy your needs. The ordering system is similar to Chipotle. There are cash registers and cashiers who take your order at a long counter. The food is quickly prepared in the kitchen, and a runner brings the food to the table. #btw - the cashiers have a tip jar under the counter. So be nice and tip the crew!! The dining room is well lit and VERY large. It's apparent this place is a BIG FAVORITE of "working men" and everyone else! Lots and lots of construction workers in their fluorescent vests. Plus tables full of educators in their school colors - complete with their name badges hanging from around their necks. Looking forward to returning!
