    Part of the menu

    From the KC area, this is my favorite BBQ spot. Meats are lean but savory. Go early to avoid the lines and get a table. Brisket is a bit dry for my taste, but they have good sauces. Pulled pork and burnt ends are the best I have had in a while. Onion rings are crispy, beans are sweet, and the potato salad is tasty. I would not recommend the mac and cheese; it's too dry and clumpy.

    Uber driver told me to check out slaps and wasn't disappointed. The gal said that the potato's side was the best on the menu and it definitely was a tasty pairing for my burnt ends sandwich.

    Go up to counter and order your food. Amazing ribs. Meat was incredibly tender. Perfect spices. I didn't even add any more bbq sauce. My two sides were baked beans and my all time favorite sweet potato fries. Rustic and cozy. A definite go to.

    In my opinion, well worth the wait, even in the KC heat! I had the Cattleman's plate, and all of the meats were delicious, although the burnt ends and brisket were my favorite. I would beyond a doubt come back and wait in line again!

    Got here at 11:30, already a 20 minute wait. The wait was well worth it. Burnt ends combo with polish sausage . Add slaw and Mac n cheese and who needs to have dinner.

    Was this worth the two Uber rides from downtown area? No. You can find better quality BBQ in downtown at places like Woolfpack's. Can't believe people would wait in line for this mediocre food. Definitely don't do such foolishness. We tried every meat that was available--they ran out of a few things, so arrive early. By 5pm there's a dinner rush line outside the door. At 4pm, we still were able to place our orders in relative peace and quiet. All the meats were just okay and almost underwhelming. Ribs were dry, brisket was super dry and bland [and old], pulled pork was the most decent type of meat thanks to the sweet juices in which it was served. Old, wilted cole slaw was drowning in over-sugared, old mayo. Pipping hot sweet fries were the best part of the meal, which should not be the case at an old BBQ spot such as this. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Both are uncomfortable during hot weather, as there are no fans/ACs, or awning to protect you from blasting sun or stiffling hot air. Not a comfortable experience on a war day when you're sweating bullets and trying to shield yourself from unforgiving sun.

    While in Kansas City for business, we heard about this place and so we decided to take an Uber to it. It was well worth the trip. Everything about this place was amazing. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the ribs and sausage were amazing. One of my coworkers was with me and said the burnt ends were some of the best he's ever had. While this place may seem a little bit out-of-the-way from the rest of Kansas City. It is well worth the Dr. or the effort to get there. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

    On a roadtrip and was so excited to pass through KC to try the famous BBQ! Obviously, I can't judge a city's food by one establishment, but I was so disappointed. Got a sampler platter w/ cheesy corn and potato casserole and added burnt ends + ribs to go since I'm traveling with my 2 kitties. Everything was just... bland, especially the brisket and burnt ends. Very surprised the bbq place is so popular when the food is just meh. Was also surprised how cheap the online prices were and turns out, the prices aren't updated. The outdoor seating looks nice, and the staff were friendly, but I would not come back.

    First time getting BBQ in KCK and historically have only had BBQ in Houston (which may be controversial haha). I found that most of the plate was well cooked but the smoked flavor didn't penetrate as well as I anticipated and relied maybe a bit too much on the sauce to provide the flavor. Recommend getting the Sampler Plate and adding on burnt ends and ribs to try everything - the ribs were well seasoned and the star of the show. The jalapeno cheddar sausage is well worth it and not too spicy at all. The burnt ends didn't feel as close to the title and crispy, but were very juicy and more fatty. The brisket, pulled pork, and turkey were less flavorful than I anticipated and definitely leaned on the sweeter side of BBQ, which may just be the style here. Have yet to try other places, but the staff were incredibly nice and explained things well and the dining area, despite being on the small-medium end has quite high turnover, so you can probably find a seat during less common meal hours - we came around 3pm on a Sunday and was able to find a seat! Local draft beer was ok. Self-service station was well-stocked and dining area is covered on rainy days. Small parking lot available in the back.

    New favorite KC bbq spot!! We ordered ahead to skip the line. We were so happy we did, we picked up our order at the window and headed to the rooftop to eat it. The sausage was the best I've had!! I was impressed with the portions and the smoke flavor.

    "Hands down, some of the best BBQ you will find in the Kansas City area! Don't let a little line scare you--it moves fast and lets you watch them carve up the fresh meat right at the counter. I got the three rib and burnt ends combo and 1/4 brisket! I'm starting to find out. I'm not a big fan of Kansas City style brisket...The burnt ends are absolute meat candy, melt-in-your-mouth tender with the best bark around, and the ribs pull clean off the bone with tons of flavor. Make sure you grab a side of the Mac cheese and the baked beans, too. Incredible food, fast and friendly service, and a true local vibe. Free street parking or parking lot available. 100% recommend!

    This was our second bbq stop on our trip to KC. We came here as a result of a recommendation from a postman working in the area. There was a line out the door, a GREAT sign! You order at the counter (drink orders taken at the opposite counter), get your order on a tray, then find a seat at their communal outside seating. Our orders included the following: Smoked wings (the day's special), ribs, burnt ends, jalapeno cheddar sausage, turkey, burnt ends, and brisket. Our sides were: Baked beans, cheesy corn, slaw, warm baked potato casserole, and mac and cheese. A quick dusting of dry rub they put over the ribs after you order really adds to their flavor. The huge pile of pickled jalapenos and sliced dill pickles added on each tray was much appreciated. The two bbq sauces they have available were excellent. It was a tough call for us to decide our favorite meat, wings or ribs. Both were tender and had perfect smoke profile. The turkey was very moist and the sausage had great taste. We were also torn between the baked beans or warm baked potato casserole being our favorite. Multiple flavors come through with each bite. The cheesy corn, slaw, and mac & cheese were all solid offerings, but don't rank in our options as "exceptional". We were able to meet some nice people while sitting at the tables, including some of the staff. In conclusion, we all felt Slap's is a better option than some of the "big name" BBQ joints in the area.

    Burnt ends combo with jalapeño cheddar sausage
    Brett K.

    Laid back establishment, food is prepared ahead of time and you get your meat sliced up and your sides done at the counter. You then go take a seat at a set of indoor outdoor patio picnic tables. I got the burnt ends combo which included another smoked meat, and 2 sides. I got the smoked jalapeño and cheddar sausage, cheesy corn and the baked beans. The burnt ends were incredible, seriously no notes. Fatty, smoky and ridiculously tender and delicious. The sausage had some spice and was also nice and cheesy filled, they were also to die for. Then the cheesy corn was like cream of corn but felt like that mixed with Mac and cheese. They were creamy, cheesy and wonderful! Lastly the baked beans were rich, sweet, and had a thick sauce with some pieces of meat thrown in. They were very tasty and a bit overwhelmingly sweet for my palette, but still delicious. I enjoyed my experience here a lot, definitely had my fill as I wasn't able to finish and had to get a to go box to bring the last of it home. Would come back again in a heart beat.

    This is my update after visit 3 to Joe's BBQ since moving to OP…read more This visit brought my review down a bit. I've tried more BBQ places in the area now. I met a couple of friends for dinner tonight at Joe's which did make my visit awesome! You order at a register, then pay, and pick up your food on a tray. A long line moves pretty fast, there's a decent amount of seating. so Zero complaints on service and ambiance. It's basically self serve and the decor is what you'd expect at a BBQ place. I was impressed with how smoothly and quickly it went with a large crowd there for dinner! I like the BBQ but it's not the best I've had. I got a 2 meat platter which comes with 1 side and toasted white bread. The brisket is pre-cut. I always ask for the lean side and the lady at the register said they cut it that way, but it had a lot of fat so I couldn't eat about half of it. The other meat I chose was pulled pork. It was fine. My side was corn. I'd call it Elote but they call it something else. It was very good. It's a small cup so I wish it were more since it was my favorite item of my meal. I also prefer a mustard/vinegar based BBQ sauce and they do not offer that at Joe's unless I somehow missed it but I don't think so. The BBQ sauce is very sweet! I would go back if a group of people I'm with wanted to go, but it's not the BBQ place I would pick for myself. Some of that is personal preference. It may be that you love fat (many do) and sweet BBQ sauce. If that's you, I would recommend you go!

Some background: I've been a few times now, but never under good circumstances. The first time I was at their food truck right when they opened and they were short on a few items. When I got home the sides weren't great, but I kind of chalked it up to them not being fully ready for me. The second time I went, in contrast I was probably their last diner in their newly opened space. I had a friend with me who had just come off the plane and needed a late dinner. The food was good, but again they were out of a bunch of things we wanted to try and I wasn't blown away. Now, my husband and I made the trip over to their location in Columbus Park about a month ago during regular dining hours and had an absolutely incredible bbq dinner from start to finish. The server was amazing, the food was insanely tender and delicious, and we left so so so full in the best way possible. This was what I had heard from others and what I was expecting and I was so happy to be able to report that they do live up to the hype, and if you catch them on an off day, give some grace and try again as this local spot is worth it.

But there's really no excuse to let patrons stand at the door for 10 minutes without getting acknowledged that we walked in. There were three empty tables and every server walked right past us and didn't even look at us, almost like if they ignored us we'd just leave, and I would've left if I wasn't trying to get our out of the country relatives who were in town the "best bbq in kc" . I had to say something to an employee just to sit down but the service didn't get much better, we felt slow and ignored most of the time. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! Gotta be some of the best BBQ in the country!!! If you're a BBQ lover you gotta give it a try I just suggest going during off hours in the late afternoon on a weekday..
