Forever grateful to the person who recommended this spot. If you like watching musicians who LOVE what they do and infectious energy, check out Mama Ray’s Jam Session on Saturdays from 2-5pm. The food is tasty, the drinks are good (not a giant selection but who needs it when you’re having so much fun, and the service is great once you catch one.
This place is awesome. I had the burnt end dinner and it was absolutely phenomenal. The service was great. The atmosphere is awesome as well. They have live blues bands playing here all the time. The place was packed when we went and the food was the reason why.
I've been dying to go here for years and just never seemed to make it that far south. Finally, I was in the area and was able to pop in. I sampled a little bit of everything.
Ribs - excellent, moist didn't need any sauce added to it.
Sausage - great flavor and had a decent spicy kick to it
Turkey - it had great flavor, but I wished it had been chunks of turkey rather than sliced.
Burnt ends - these were huge and meaty, a little on the dry side. But they great flavor.
Beans - hands down some of the best beans I have ever had, smokey, saucey, sweet, and a little kick of spice.
Fries - these were so unique. They were like giant tater wedges that had a unique batter on them and fried.
Onion rings - HUGE and crispy
Gumbo - out of all of that food, this was my absolute favorite (partly because I'm allergic to shellfish, and this didn't have any in it 🥳)
Highly recommend stopping in.
What a family, friendly atmosphere with fantastic food, people, and talented musicians! It was my first time and I cannot wait to go back! I enjoyed the burnt end Sammie with fries and Cole slaw and it was delish! I ate almost every bite 🤪 service was fantastic, wish I remembered her name! She had beautiful tattoos and was sooooo incredibly kind. 100 million percent recommended for an adventure time out with friends/ families /lovers!

Let’s start out by saying if I could give this place 100 stars I would! My friends and I came to Kansas City on a road trip and were blown away by the amazing food and hospitality of the staff here. Our waitress, Sheila, was incredibly kind and gave us recommendations on all of the food we needed to try at BB’s. We all split the king’s combo with the pulled pork, smoked sausage, and pork ribs that were all so tender and flavorful. Thanks to Sheila we discovered that the perfect combination was the mild BBQ sauce together with the peach habanero sauce. We found it really touching that the chef came out to talk with us while we ate. Sheila came to check on us often and when we were finished, she recommended us the fried bread pudding which is now easily one of my favorite desserts I’ve ever had. We packed all of the leftovers up because we didn’t want to waste a bite of any of the platter and even ate the leftovers again for dinner because we loved the food so much. I can’t thank the staff here enough for making us all feel at home and giving us the best Kansas City BBQ experience we could’ve asked for:)
The real Deal. Great food , Great Music. All you need a great company. Service took a while, but worth it!
We had to choose one KC BBQ place and this was convenient.
The burnt ends at salt lick in TX are better...these are very solid.
The ribs are absolute perfection.
The atmosphere is 2nd to none.
Highly recommend BBs!
I got the BBQ nachos. Not pictured. 1 bowl of gumbo. They left my roll out. 1 burnt end meal. Bread pudding. Food was delicious. I loved the 3 different sauces they included. It was ready when I got there and they brought it out to me. All my life I've grown up in KC and passed by this place. Even lived near here. Never tried it. I definitely will dine in for the experience.
I love that they let me put my nachos together so they wouldn't be soggy. The bread pudding is the best in KC. That Bourbon sauce
We got really lucky. This spot was less than 10 min from where we were staying and they had LIVE music. Got the half slab dinner and could barely finish. The smoked catfish was so tender
Delicious food! Burnt ends were amazing! They didn’t need sauce but, I decided to try their spicy peach and it was incredible!
