    I Iwas really hoping for a great experience. I've been going to Snead's Bar-B-Q since the 80s, but I stopped visiting about 10 years ago. Recently, I noticed more cars out front and heard the restaurant was under new management, so I decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, the visit reminded me why I stepped away in the first place. I ordered burnt ends and ribs with baked beans and fries as my sides. The best part of the meal was the burnt ends, which were average by KC barbecue standards. The ribs, however, fell below what I would expect in Kansas City--the flavor just wasn't there, and I had to add sauce to get any real taste. The baked beans were not edible due to an overpowering vinegar flavor. On a positive note, the food came out quickly. The wait staff wasn't particularly friendly, but they were efficient.

    Some of the best BBQ I've had. Good service too. Not commercialized, just good BBQ. Sides were fantastic too.

    3.8 Stars - Solid BBQ. Some of the burnt ends are very good, but a decent percentage of them weren't. The brisket was good, but a bit dry. The ribs were surprisingly good for how terrible they look, but overall they are average. Great beans, fries, and potato salad. I doubt I'll go back with being more selective these days, but I wouldn't rule it out.

    Quaint place in Belton that is remote, near Loch Lloyd. Very big, one-person restroom (not very relevant...just surprising). We picked up carryout. Beans were surprisingly good. Burnt ends were okay. Brisket was tasteless. I can't even remember what else we got, which says a lot. I like to be greeted when I walk in an establishment but we were not. And I made eye contact with a waitress as she walked from the kitchen with a tray of food for a table of folks. I wouldn't eat here again since I wasn't wowed.

    Sandwich & delicious fall off the bone ribs

    Great portions of fried & onion rings, the food was fast beer was cold and the bathrooms were a tip top shape for us that need to clean out hands before a lunch like this. Service was spectacular

    Delicious BBQ in a laid back environment. Snead's appears out of nowhere when heading south on Holmes. Nothing about the operation is fancy, however the food is incredible. They call their burnt ends "brownies" and I highly recommend them!

    A little off the beaten path but well worth the trip. Behind the great big wooden front door is a huge restaurant with at least 3 distinct seating areas and a to go counter. Our server gave us a genuine welcome and brought us to our table with menus. It wasn't hard to decide that the Wednesday lunch special for a rib tips platter sounded good. I might have chosen a sandwich but who can only pick 1 side? I need both fries and beans and when I saw it also had a tiny cup of coleslaw I was totally won over. Thanks for not making me choose!!! Beans were really tasty. Coleslaw is very finely diced and quite sweet, loved it. Rib tips were a new thing for me and I didn't mind eating around the clearly visible bones. Some edges were too dry (hello jerky!) But overall it was pretty good. Had enough to bring home a little bit of leftovers so I can attest it should satisfy the biggest appetites.

    The small size signature dinner ($8.99) included choice of meat, choice of side, two slices of toast, a small portion of cole slaw, pickles, and choice of sauce (hot or mild), making it a good value (especially with the free iced tea from the Yelp check-in offer). The baked beans were very good (and generously sized) but the turkey was reminiscent of slightly smoky, thick sliced deli meat. I'll try a different meat next time. I liked the friendly, cheerful, attentive table service and the clean, sizable, dining area with a fireplace and country background music.

    Dunn Deal BBQ - Brisket

    Stopped by Dunn Deal today for the first time. I had their lunch special of 1 meat (brisket) and…read moretwo sides (fries and coleslaw). My brother had pulled pork, fries and beans. If you are a fan of thick slices of super tender brisket with such good flavor that sauce isn't necessary - this is your place. I was very impressed with the brisket. The pulled pork, also before BBQ Sauce, was rich and very full of smoky flavor. Sides were very good too. We added a beef sausage link that had a well balanced flavor and just the right amount of seasoning for my taste. They also have Jalapeno cheddar sausage but they'd run out of it by the time we stopped by. Dunn Deal BBQ is only open on Friday and Saturday and is set up for take out orders. There are picnic tables in front of the business. If you are near Grandview on Friday or Saturday and want some really good BBQ or just want to try a different place - give Dunn Deal a try. Oops, almost forgot the customer service is fantastic and the woman at the counter was very friendly and engaging. Great job, Dunn Deal! We'll be back.

    Hands down, top contender if not best BBQ in KC area. I've bought a lot of BBQ for large groups…read morewith BBQ aficionados in the crowd. I got more positive comments on Dunn Deal than I've gotten from myriad of other places in years. And it's not just the BBQ meats, which are plentiful with orders, the potato salad, slaw, beans (slightly spicy), and fries are all outstanding. I can't say that about everyplace, to have meats great and all sides as well. If traveling I'd take Cole slaw and potato salad. Brisket is everyone's favorite, but the turkey is best in KC my a landslide for you turkey lovers. Chicken is awesome and similar to turkey. Ribs are quite excellent to say the least. Pulled pork and sausages are contenders with everyone else. Banana pudding is only desert, and others have said it's wonderful. (I've not had). All meals or orders come with Dunn's cornishon mini pickles, jalepeneos, and fresh cut onions on the side, with sauce if you need (but you don't need sauce with this BBQ because it doesn't even need more flavor. My only problem with this place, is limited hours and lines out the door, because it's so damn good! Sooner or later they will need to go full time or sell out within hours of being open each day.
