My husband and I decided to design our own Kansas City barbecue tour, and boy am I glad we stopped at Danny Edwards BLVD! We arrived around opening and were among the first guests for the day. The owners are so generous and friendly. Joel is the owner along with his wife, whose name I didn't get. She showed us the pit and told us they smoke with hickory and oak. Joel worked with Danny Edwards for 15 years before buying the joint in 2019 and he hasn't commercialized in the same way other famous KC BBQ places have. We had the sampler platter of brisket, pork belly and jalapeno cheddar sausage and the Big D, a brisket sandwich topped with onion rings featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The sauce has an incredible balance between sweet, spicy and smokey. YUM! The sides were spicy beans and jambalaya. They gave us the recipe to the jambalaya, and we hope we can replicate it because it was out of this world good. Everything we tried was fantastic. We're going to be talking about this place and our whole experience for quite some time.

This is a great place to try if you love BBQ. Parking is easy and the dining area is spacious. I thought the food portions were large and the special for lunch was a good price. They have a unique BBQ sauce that makes the food stand apart from similar establishments. Overall I recommend you give it a try.

There's just no way it gets any better than this. I've toured the states for great BBQ and Joel at Danny Edwards does it best. Brisket is insane. The Big D (I got it on a bun) is simply the greatest sandwich of any kind I've ever had. The ribs are fall off the bone tender, juicy and loaded with flavor. Just doesn't get any better. Thank you to Joel and his wife for the incredible food and service!!

First-time eating here and let me tell you they didn't disappoint. I had the large pork sandwich and they gave me enough pulled pork to make another sandwich. The pork was very tender and favorable. The sauce was on point...sweet and spicy. I even enjoyed the fries. Well done and truly a treasure in KC🧡

Let's get this out of the way right out of the gate. Best beef brisket in KC! Sliced thick, super juicy, and full of flavor! 'The Big D' is a fantastic sandwich that highlights the brisket on marble rye with cheese and an onion ring. I'm not sure there is a better BBQ sandwich anywhere. The BBQ beans are also very tasty. During colder months I've had the chili here and it's absolutely top notch. Served with warm tortillas! This place is only open for lunch but definitely worth a try as I feel like it gets overlooked in KC's crowded BBQ scene!

The spicy beans were incredible! I would come back just for those. All of the smoked meats were good, but the ribs were pretty bland. The family running the place was super nice. They open a little bit earlier than some of the other places in town so it’s nice if you are trying to get an earlier lunch.

Great brisket marbling. Good smokey flavor. And the staff were fantastic. Whereas other popular bbq joints act like prima donnas, this place welcomes you with open arms. Support places that treat customers well, not that are “too big for their britches”.

This is an update review, I liked it the last time I was there and this time everything was great. I had the brisket sandwich and the meat was tender and great. Last time I was not a fan of their baked beans but this time they were great. The beans are different than what I am use to but we're good. Previously I had their combo sandwich and it was great too. The service was great and they were all very friendly.

I dare say there is no finer brisket in the KC Metro area. They cut it right off the roast by hand using a butcher knife. Each slice easily a quarter inch, and with a nice bark. A large beef sandwich is absolutely decadent and there is scarcely a better sandwich in the metro. Get here for lunch as they are not open for dinner! (and closed Sundays) The guys that run this place have been in the BBQ biz a long time and it shows. They care a great deal about their craft and produce some of the finest in the metro.

We all had the pork bbq sandwich. The meat had a wonderful Smokey flavor. I loved the fresh cucumber salad I had and my son's Mac and cheese was delish! My husband said his french fries were really good as well. I enjoyed the hometown feel of the restaurant. The staff were all so friendly. So glad that we stopped by!

I wasn't sure about it pulling up with the red bars on the windows but so glad we tried it. Amazing food. Fast even though they were busy! Definitely plan to be back.

Steven Raichlen says Danny Edwards is the definitive Kansas City style barbecue joint, I also happen to believe it’s the best. I grew up on Jake Edwards bbq who was Danny’s father, the tradition lives on through Danny and now the current owner. Highly recommend the brisket for first timers and the sweet potato fries.
I wish they were open for dinner, but Danny said they’re not so they can have a life and time for their families outside of work and I respect that

The food here is very good.
I have ordered the combo to try 3 meat. The chicken, ribs and sausage were super duper yum. Soft and juicy!
Staff were great!
I did not wait long for the food to be served.
Prices were just right!
I would recommend this to everyone!
P. S. I would appreciate more if they serve the food on a non-disposable plates. It is more eco-friendly.

Best BBQ and friendliest staff in Kansas City. My wife and I had them cater our wedding in 2017, and every one of our out of town guests always bring it up in conversation.

Mac N Cheese was Delicious (Super Cheesy) Side is a Small Portion. Ribs were Good (Joe’s & Q39 are better). Brisket was Average. Maybe they had a bad batch on Burnt Ends (Disappointed). Tangy Sauce. Overall Good place just not the best!
