Not only do the local residents of KC claim that
Rosdale's is the best, but they've also won
several city awards for their food from the KC
Star. It doesn't matter what you get there, it's
good, filling, and worth coming back again for
more. Sunday's special, baby back ribs, is a
tradition for many people. But if you're in your
Sunday best, get plenty of napkins, because they
are MESSY. Though I love everything I've tried
at this place, the one plate that stands out to
me is a "Half Bird with Fries" (smoked, barbeque
chicken with bread and crinkle fries). The food
is great, and worth coming for, but the sauce is
what makes it an experience. Personally, I'm a
huge fan of BBQ sauces, and Rosedale's has a
very unique, sweet'n'spicy sauce. I buy it by
the quart to use at home for my own smoked BBQ
meats. It's good enough to use in place of
ketchup as well, and tastes a lot like spicy,
homemade Catsup from the south. Anyway, go to
Rosedale Barbeque. Order something. Find a
table. Enjoy.

In 1946 Arthur Pinkard - who was a cook for Perry - joined with George Gates to form Gates and Sons Bar-B-Q. The restaurant was initially in the same neighborhood.
More molasses was added to the Gates barbecue sauce to make it sweeter. Gates also expanded its footprint in a more conventional way, with restaurants all displaying certain trademarks -- red-roofed buildings, a recognizable logo (a strutting man clad in tuxedo and top hat) and the customary "Hi, May I Help You?" greeting belted out by its employees as patrons enter.
Gates has opened restaurants throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The Legend of Famous Dave's BBQ
|
The
Discovery of Barbeque as a Young Boy in Chicago. Dave Anderson, founder of Famous Dave's, lives for barbeque. Growing up in Chicago, home of the Blues, Dave's passion for ribs began as a young boy when his dad would bring ribs home from work in his lunch bucket. His dad, an electrician, worked with construction workers, who often returned from their lunch break with the best tasting slow-smoked spare ribs from street corner vendors who used 55 gallon smokers filled with charcoal and smoldering green hickory wood. They were the legendary ribs just like the champion pitmasters used to smoke way down in the deep South. |
 |
|
 |
The
Passion for Barbeque Grows and the Restaurant Dream Begins. Realizing that his dream was to one day open his own barbeque restaurant, Dave spent more than 25 years of his adult life searching all over the country for the best barbeque and feasting on a variety of smoked meats available from every barbeque joint he could find. His passion was almost religious in nature-his understanding of the holy trinity is "Smoke, Meat and Sauce". His trips to these most famous bastions of barbeque were like "pilgrimages" to the most "hallowed shrines" of barbeque! |
|
| During his travels, Dave visited every barbeque restaurant he could find—literally thousands over 25 years. From the neighborhood storefront BBQ shacks in Memphis, Kansas City, and Chicago, to the backwoods smoke-houses found in the Southern foothills of Missouri, Georgia, Tennessee the Carolinas, and finally, to the huge mesquite pits of Texas. |
 |
|
 |
Dave’s Secret Family Barbeque Sauce is Developed. With each trip, Dave learned more and more about barbeque sauces too, and would return home to his kitchen for repeated testing and the refining of his taste senses. Trying to understand the intricate workings of natural flavors, fruit juices, black strap molasses, spices and herbs, and how they'd react to each other under various times and temperatures. |
|
| Dave would spend countless hours crushing, grinding and tasting fresh herbs and spices. He would taste them dry, boil them, saute' them in different oils, and then hold them in his mouth until he truly understood the correct conditions to blend these fresh ingredients. After more than 25 years and many all-night cooking and tasting sessions, with thousands of batches of sauces, he finally developed and perfected the best barbeque sauce his friends and family had ever tasted. |
 |
|
 |
Dave
Discovers the Only Way to Cook Real BBQ Ribs. Dave quickly learned that conventional methods of cooking ribs were not good at all. He found that parboiling and baking washed all the flavor out of ribs and that they had to be drowned in store bought sauce. After 25 years of backyard experiments, Dave has smoked tons of ribs in an old garbage can and cooked up thousands of gallons of sauce perfecting his now famous barbeque. Dave discovered that there is no other way to smoke good"cue" than to first hand rub each slab with a blend of southern spices, then slow smoke'm in a pit of smoldering hickory. This was the time-honored way, the traditional way used by champion pitmasters down in the Deep South. These ribs are so good right out of the smoker—try 'em without the sauce—just order your bones naked! These were the kind of ribs Dave had grown to love as a boy in Chicago—the kind he knew, along with his barbeque sauce, would someday make his barbeque famous. |
|
|
A
Life-long Dream is Realized when Dave Opens his First Restaurant in Hayward In 1994, while continuing to call Minneapolis home, Dave purchased a small resort on Big Round Lake in Hayward. The resort, with eight cabins, had a restaurant and bar that Dave envisioned as the possible fulfillment of his life's dream—a barbeque restaurant. Planning a modest remodeling, the restaurant was ultimately demolished and rebuilt in the style of a magnificent Adirondack Lodge. From the beginning, the restaurant, named "Famous Dave's BBQ Shack," was a tremendous success—serving as many as 1,000 in a night. Dave regularly heard those from the Twin Cities asking when a Shack might come to Minneapolis. With the success of this northwoods lodge, Dave knew that his dreams of a roadhouse barbeque shack and blues club would soon be a reality. |
 |
|
 |
Expansion of the ?Dream? Comes to Minneapolis and Beyond! Knowing he had the kind of barbeque, people craved and would drive several hours to get, Dave was eager to bring a BBQ Shack to Minneapolis. In looking for a location, Dave came across what he thought would be a perfect spot in the quaint, old-time Linden Hills neighborhood. So, in the winter of 1995, work began on a true Southern roadhouse Shack, filled with antiques and fun murals, reminiscent of the BBQ shacks that filled the South 50 years ago. With little advertising and a location in a hidden little treasure of a neighborhood, customers and food writers alike soon discovered Famous Dave's with its little 50-seat dining room and 25-seat screened-in porch. People drove from all parts of the Twin Cities and beyond to eat the barbeque that was really growing "famous". And like Hayward, once again, one guest after another began asking Dave when a Shack might come to their neighborhood. These requests, over weeks and months, came to fuel a dream of a Famous Dave's expansion across America! |
|
|
Famous Dave’s Opens the Hottest Blues Club in Minneapolis Growing up in the windy city called "Sweet Home Chicago", Dave realized there isn't anything better than great barbeque and some good ol' down home blues-Chicago style! In September 1996, Famous Dave's BBQ & Blues opened in Calhoun Square at Lake St. and Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. Modeled after a street in Chicago, the "true- to-life" blues club was complete with an overhead-elevated train track with sound and visual effects! In order to achieve the "realism" Dave desired, he engaged the talents of a design company whose credits include work on numerous movie sets including "Grumpy Old Men". A smashing success from its opening, the blues club continues to feature butt-rockin' and foot stompin' blues from both local and national blues acts. This landmark Club, Famous Dave's BBQ & Blues, has won awards for "Best Music", "Best Blues Vocalist", Best Restaurant Design", and "Best Take-Out Menu". If you love eatin' ribs 'till the sauce runs down your elbows while shakin' your butt to some of the best live blues music anywhere in the country, this is the place to be. |
 |
|
 |
National Awards for ?Best Ribs? and ?Best Sauce in America? In November 1995, Famous Dave's was named 1st place winner for its Rich & Sassy barbeque sauce at the American Royal Barbecue Sauce Contest in Kansas City, Missouri—the largest and most prestigious barbeque contest in the world! Mpls./St. Paul Magazine followed in December by naming Famous Dave's the Best BBQ Joint. Since then, famous Dave's has won one award after another including Greatest Ribs in America, Greatest Sauce in America, Best New Restaurant, Best Dessert, and Dave himself was named "Restaurateur of the Year". At the 1999 Great American Rib Cookoff, where several hundred thousands of people attend to eat great ribs, Dave and his team won another Greatest Ribs in America award! |
|
|
National Rib Cooking Team Smokes the Competition! From Fargo, to Cleveland, to Chicago, to Kansas City, to the Twin Cities and many other cities, the Famous Dave's national rib cooking team has brought home the bacon and more first place trophies than the Chicago Bulls! Dave's commitment to always being the best is constantly being honed through competitive rib cook-offs with the top championship pitmasters in the country. These ribfests, which attract hundreds of thousands of BBQ fans, feature hundreds of rib cookers all competing for thousands of dollars in prize monies and braggin' rights of being the "Best of the Best". Dave's first place trophies can be found displayed in his restaurants. Next time you're eating ribs in another restaurant ask to see their trophies! |
 |
|
 |
Dave’s Commitment to Quality. ?!? A Famous Dave’s rib is better from the start. Dave understands you can't wind up with the best-tasting barbequed ribs if you don't start with the best quality raw product—the St. Louis sparerib. Unlike cheaper quality cuts of ribs you find in most places, this rib is the best available. First, the less-than-tender piece of meat on the underside of the rib, called the skirt, is trimmed away. And second, Dave insists on a slab of ribs of more than 2-1/2 pounds rather than the commonly used 1-3/4 pounders. This large slab of ribs has gained Famous Dave's the national distinction of being the "!" Dave's unusual attention to details is legendary in the meat industry. As one story goes, late one Sunday night, with his car filled with boxes of ribs that did not meet his strict specs, Dave drove all the way to Chicago so he could personally return them to the supplier first thing Monday morning. All meat suppliers are personally trained by Dave, even the butchers on their cutting lines. It costs a bit more for this level of quality, but take one look, and especially one bite, and you'll taste the difference of a Famous Dave's rib. |
|
|
“Hog
Heaven” University Dave's commitment to quality doesn't end with high quality products but actually starts with the commitment to train team members so that they can serve you the best dang barbeque in the country! Hog Heaven University is Famous Dave's intensive 10 week training program for managers that ends with them being recognized as certified Famous Dave's Pitmasters. Only Trained Pitmasters are allowed to prepare Dave's award winning ribs. Training is also an on-going daily commitment at each Famous Dave's where performance is constantly challenged and improved in order to "WOW!" you with the best possible service and the best tasty food in the country! |
 |
|
 |
Eatin’ Good at Famous Dave’s goes beyond just Legendary BBQ. Dave insists that the same attention and caring that goes into the barbeque, goes into the side fixins and desserts. The marinated country roast chicken is so tasty your lips will feel like Mick Jagger's. You'll love honey-buttered corn bread muffins that melt in your mouth, creamy cole slaw that's better than all the rest, and Wilbur beans made from our smoked brisket and sausage with a spicy kick from jalapeno peppers. Dave's tasty salads and burgers are among the best in town. |
|
| And when it comes to desserts, it's time to loosen the belt, take a deep breath, and keep on goin' with absolutely to-die-for homemade delights. All served the way Dave likes 'em — BIG — right from the oven… with ice cream and whipped cream to-boot. |
 |
|
 |
A
Great Barbeque Joint has got to be fun, too! You'd think that with all the attention Dave gives to the quality of his barbeque, side fixins, and desserts, he'd be satisfied. Nope. Dave's a firm believer in a "total dining experience". One in which atmosphere could never be an "after-thought". From the moment you walk through the door you'll know that you're somewhere special. And then you'll hear booty shakin', foot stompin' songs playing that have been carefully hand-picked by Dave from his collection of over 3,000 CD's. Together, the decor and music are designed to entertain, make you smile, and make you feel as though you've left the rest of the world behind. Good ol' fashioned hospitality will make you feel that you've just been treated to an experience at Famous Dave's reminiscent of a good ol' backyard barbeque—with the best of food and the best of friends. |
|
|
Famous Dave’s Promise… To serve you the best tasting food and great tasting barbeque with good ol' fashioned hospitality in a fun environment. Should you ever be dissatisfied with anything about your dining or catering experience with Famous Dave's, please let us know...we'll make it right. I promise: Our whole purpose in life is just to make you happy! And as I always say...
“May you always be surrounded by
good friends and great barbeque"™  |

Originally a part of the Fiorella family-owned chain of Smoke Stack Barbecue restaurants, with the original restaurant located in south Kansas City on Prospect Avenue. Founded by family patriarch Russ Fiorella in 1957, it eventually lead to the opening of four more restaurants for the Fiorella family. One of these restaurants, Smoke Stack Barbecue of Martin City, was opened in 1974 by the eldest son Jack Fiorella and his wife Delores.
In the mid-90's, when Jack and Delores wanted to add a second location in neighboring Overland Park, Kansas, they decided to change their name to Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue to set themselves apart from the family chain of Smoke Stack restaurants. They also opened a full-service catering operation along with Private Dining facilities in south Kansas City just two blocks south of the Martin City restaurant. They have also added two more restaurants in Kansas City, Missouri. One of them is located in the beautifully restored Freight House across from Union Station, with their fourth addition to the Jack Stack family of restaurants located on The Country Club Plaza.
Starting in 2000, Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue began shipping their barbecue nationwide. Media exposure on The Food Network and Modern Marvels on The History Channel has lead to explosive growth for the World Class shipping division. In 2006, they tripled the size of their facility to accommodate their rapid growth.
Jack Fiorella remains active in guiding the future of the World Class shipping division. Restaurant operations have now been passed along to his son Kevin, and son-in-law Case Dorman.

The Smokestack BBQ Restaurant
8920 Wornall Rd Kansas City, MO 64114 Phone:
(816) 444-5542
We have been eating here since I was a kid. Our family grew up in this neighborhood and the killer BBQ smell constantly whiffed through the air. I can safely say the The Smokestack BBQ Restaurant at 89th and Wornall in Kansas City has THE BEST - bar none - BBQ BEANS.
*You have a feeling a place is going to be good when you get out of
your car and smell smoking meat. Fortunately, the meal did live up to
its parking lot aroma. I had the jumbo sandwich (beef and pork) that
includes fries, slaw, and pickles for $7. They allow you to make
substitutions and I substituted beans for slaw. The sandwich was
pretty good - plenty of meat but it was a little dry. The beans were
good (I think!). They gave you enough for 2 bites so they definitely
need to improve the portions for beans. The fries were crispy and of
the "steak fry" variety. I would have liked them a little less done.
The service was excellent, especially considering our large group.
Overall, I liked the place and would go back.
*An average outing today… I had the burnt ends lunch which is a
deviation from my usual sandwich. The burnt ends were for the most
part lean but not all had the smoky flavor I was hoping for. Some
pieces tasted like pot roast with BBQ sauce. Ordering burnt ends can
be risky as some are served way to fatty or lack the smoke flavor. I
gave the beans a 0 rating - an all time low in our years on this tour.
The reason for the low rating…? I was finished eating the beans before
I could actually taste them. Seriously, there must have been a total
of 15 beans in this thimble serving. Here's some advise - if you are
going to serve a side, serve a side! I would guess that beans are
relatively inexpensive to make. I don't understand why beans are
served in such miniscule portions at many BBQ places. For you folks
reading our reviews, if you know something about this bean mystery,
send an email to Rick. The fries were ok and the sauce was good. Aside
from the beans, the portions were decent. Service was good. If you get
over to the Smoke Stack, check out the picture of the person playing
what looks like a Mandolin or Lute on the wall. Rumor has it that this
person is one of Dick S's relatives.
*Smokestack was okay. My ham sandwich was decent but not enough to
make me want to come back. The portions on the beans were something
off a children’s menu. I took three bites (One bite for Rick) and they
were gone. The service was okay and the price was good.
Otherwise.....where are we going next?
*Enjoyed Smokestack BBQ. Location was easy to get to on Wornall -
smoke and smoked meat smell greeted us in the parking lot. Thurs.
sausage sandwich special was a good value and very tasty. Non-specials
seemed a little pricey to me. Plenty of seating room to accommodate
our party of 12. Thought the beans were especially good, but side
portions were too small from my point of view. Slaw was excellent.
This place does substitutions on sides which I appreciate. Fries were
very crispy the way I like them. Air conditioning was working - bring
a sweater next time, Jana.
*It was a good lunch. The smell of smoke coming from their "stack" was
a welcome smell to a hungry group. The sandwich was very good. It does
continue to surprise me that a restaurant would limit the cole slaw
and beans to as such small sample cup. I there anything cheaper to buy
than cabbage and beans? They should make the servings last for the
whole meal and not disappear on the first spoonful.
*Though the serving was too small the beans were very good. And the
fries were the nice, thick, crispy kind that I like. The sauce was OK
(not the best and not the worst I've ever had). I was not impressed
with the meat. The burnt ends were a little to fatty and the sausage
was served barely warm under a warm sauce. The atmosphere was pretty
good and our waitress did an impressive job of waiting on our group,
keeping orders straight, refilling drinks, etc.
*The ribs were over cooked . The beans were above average with burnt
ends included in the beans. The slaw was very good with a sweet taste.
The service was good. Orange creme but no red creme. No dessert.
*You see the sign and say ahhh. You get out of your car, smell the
smoke and say ahhh. You go inside the restaurant and say yummm. You
start eating the sliced meat platter and say whaaa? There's nothing
spectacular here folks, just a typical place. The service was good and
cordial. The price was right. The thimble-sized serving of beans were
pretty good, but the sauce was bland and the meat was average. The
fries...no thanks, I'll pass. This Smoke Stack is one of a chain of
Smoke Stacks owned and operated by one side of the Fiorella family. I
suppose that's what makes my rating even more disappointing since the
Fiorella's are a well-respected mainstay in Kansas City barbecue.
*The Wornall Smokestack is a good, solid BBQ joint. The service was
very friendly and efficient (even if she did like to talk, so did we).
My ribs were a bit over cooked, but tasty. Beans were also good. The
sauce has a unique short of Bryant's gritty yellow sauce.
*beer free place.
*Aside from being LEFT BEHIND on the curb for this G.A.S. excursion,
it was great to get back to this Smokestack restaurant. Mary Fiorella
runs this one and her daughter was our waitress. I ordered the short
stack sandwich with beef only (you can get two choices of meat) and
chose the fries and Cole slaw. An extra charge will also get you the
cheesy corn, which is my favorite. Some others ordered the pork ribs
and said they were good and plentiful. This is a convenient location
at 89th and Wornall and their sauce and beans are terrific.

About Arthur Bryant's Legacy...
Arthur Bryant, the legendary King of Ribs, is the most renowned
barbequer in history. He created a sauce that has attracted the likes
of former Presidents Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter to his restaurant .
. . considered to be the best restaurant in the world by New Yorker
columnist Calvin Trillin.
Since 1930 celebrities such as Steven Spielberg, Michael Landon,
Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, Wilt Chamberlain, Bryant Gumbel, Tom
Watson and George Brett — and common folk alike — have made the
pilgrimage to Arthur Bryant's to enjoy barbeque that's slow-smoked
with a combination of hickory and oak woods, mellowed to the peak of
flavor, then splashed with Original or Rich & Spicy sauce. Now you can
enjoy these sauces with carefully guarded secret recipes at home, for
the authentic taste of Arthur Bryant's barbeque.
Charlie Bryant started the Kansas City barbeque tradition, or some say
it was Henry Perry for whom Charlie worked. Arthur visited his brother
Charlie in KC and never left. Charlie owned the business after Henry
died, then after Charlie died Arthur took over. Arthur first perfected
the sauce ("I make it so you can put it on bread and eat it") and then
opened the 18th & Brooklyn restaurant that was to become a legend.
After Arthur passed away in 1982 Gary Berbiglia and Bill Rauschelbach
acquired the restaurant and have expanded the business while
preserving the original Arthur Bryant's traditions and world-famous
flavor. Arthur used to mix and store his sauce in big five gallon
glass jars. You can still see one in the window of the Brooklyn
restaurant today. As Gary Berbiglia puts it, "It's history."

BB's Lawnside BBQ Restaurant
1205 E 85th
Kansas City, MO 64131
BB's Lawnside BBQ is owned and physically operated by local Kansas Citian Lindsay Shannon. Lindsay has his own radio show on 101.1 The Fox FM every Sunday night where he spins the greatest blues hits of all time. BB's is definitely a cultural experience as live blues bands perform nightly to a loose, somewhat rowdy crowd while all the time the kitchen keeps turning out some of the best BBQ in Kansas City. Lindsay himself says it best during his radio show, "just sit back....pop the top on a cool one....pull up a chair and enjoy some great blues and BBQ"
...The tradition of bar-b-q and blues
in Kansas City had its start in the 1930's when Count Basie, Joe
Turner and Charlie Parker hung out at the Old Kentucky Bar-B-Q near
18th & Vine. The granite stones that were used to build B.B.'s bbq pit
in 1950 came from the gravel streets down-town where they served as
crosswalks.... Perhaps Joe Turner once high stepped across these same
granite stones.
The granite stones hold heat, allowing a slow-smoked cooking process.
Briskets are smoked 14-16 hours and ribs 10-12 hours, using an
indirect heat source fueled by hickory wood. All meats on our menu,
including sausage and chicken, are slow-smoked on the over 50 year old
pit. When the blues music floats off the bandstand, it wafts across
your plate of bbq, imparting a flavor you can only get in Kansas City
at B.B.'s Lawnside Bar-B-Q...

Also known as 'Lil' Jakes Eat it and Beat

so packed that once you've feasted on some barbeque, you got
to leave...
Known for their delicious sandwiches, you have got to try the favorite thick-sliced, Hickory-Smoked Brisket Sandwich. If the spicy Texas style sauces get too hot for you, balance it out later with a thick, gooey homemade brownie. Yum!

In the
ongoing and certainly never-ending debate over which KC Q joints reign
supreme, and which have passed their prime, let us nominate LC's in
the former category. For our money, LC's is one of the greats, in
Kansas City or anywhere.
"When you see a fork in the road, take it" said Yogi Berra, and he
could have been giving directions to LC's, for it's located on the
triangle formed by the fork between Blue Parkway and Sni-A-Bar Road.
If your windows are rolled down as you approach, you'll probably know
you're close well before it comes into view.
It's not a large place, and much of its business seems to be
take-out. There are a few tables for eating in, and they provide a
choice ringside seat to the goings on at the smoker. The brisket that
emerges from that smoker is without peer, ineffably tender, smokey
without being acrid, a perfect balance between fat and lean. The burnt
ends "sandwich" is an impossibly large pile of meat chunks doused with
their terrific celery seed accented barbecue sauce, garnished with
white bread. The mountain of fresh-cut fries is first rate.
So is it the best BBQ in Kansas City? That's not a question we can
even pretend to answer. We do know that we don't agree with those who
denigrate the legendary Arthur Bryant's. It may not be what it once
was (we can't say), but it's still awfully good. In particular, we are
simply addicted to Bryant's hot-and-tart vindaloo-like barbecue sauce.
A Kansas City barbeque tour should still, in our opinion, include
Arthur Bryant's, but we submit that a visitor cannot leave KC without
a visit to LC's. It's as good as they come.

1st Place in Brisket - 2nd Place in Ribs
The Great American
BBQ Contest 2007
A brief history
of great BBQ at Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue in Kansas City
Born the son of an immigrant Lithuanian lamp maker, Jeff Stehney,
Oklahoma Joe’s owner, got his first taste of . . . . .
Sorry, that’s the wrong story.
Oklahoma Joe’s Barbecue and Catering can be traced to competition
barbecue and the Kansas City Barbeque Society
(KCBS). Tagging
along with friends at the American Royal and The Great Lenexa BBQ
Battle was all the inspiration Jeff needed to get started cooking on
his own. The first smoker purchased was an Oklahoma Joe’s 24” smoker.
The competition team, Slaughterhouse Five, went through some personnel
changes the first two years and by 1993, Jeff, his wife and business
partner Joy, and Jim Howell were ready to make their mark on the KCBS
competition circuit. And make their mark they did, winning eight Grand
Championships, including the prestigious American Royal BBQ, three
Reserve Grand Championships, and the Kansas City Barbeque Society’s
Grand Champion “Team of the Year” in 1993. Over the next several
seasons Slaughterhouse Five won dozens more awards and was generally
recognized as one of the top competition BBQ teams in the Country.
All of this eventually lead to the opening of Oklahoma Joe's
restaurant in Kansas City, KS. Oklahoma Joes has gained a local and
national reputation for outstanding barbecue. The Zagat national
restaurant survey rated Oklahoma Joe's "Excellent" for Barbecue in
2000.

Established in 1934, this venerable Rosedale eatery feeds a steady
stream of patrons, from businessmen to construction workers to
families. Eat in or get your order to go. Lunchtime is especially busy
with lines snaking out both side doors.
Order a sandwich or get a dinner with three sides, with options
including beans, slaw, fries, potato salad, corn nuggets, jalapeno
poppers and two slices of white bread. The huge serving of burnt ends
is smoked to a near chewy texture and smothered in the homemade, sweet
and hot barbecue sauce. The baby back ribs are tender, lean and meaty,
but only available on Sundays. The barbecued kielbasa sandwich is a
unique treat. The slaw is creamy with a slight kick, and the beans
contain chopped onion and green chile, along with chunks of barbecued
meat. The fried sides--mushrooms and onion rings--are crispy and
savory but not greasy.

Woodyard BBQ
Restaurant
3001 Merriam
Lane
Kansas City, KS
913-236-6666
Official Website -
www.woodyardbbq.com
The Woodyard started as a
"Woodyard" - selling hickory, cherry, pecan and applewood logs to
local barbecue parlors. Today, you can still buy wood that is ideal
for smoking meats, but you also can come for some of the best barbecue
in this barbecue-crazed area. The air all around the friendly country
wood-frame house is redolent of smoke; in fact the smoker is right out
on an open-air patio (there's indoor seating, too). It is that smoke
that gives a glow to the gentle-textured baby back rib meat that pulls
from the bone in big, juicy ribbons with only the slightest pressure.
The most smoke flavor can be savored in the Woodyard's burnt ends,
available in a sandwich or, the day I visited, as the topping for
chili. What a great idea! The chili is a multi-bean brew, fairly mild;
and the big pile of meat atop it is a kaleidoscope of pieces that
range from velvet-soft to crisp or chewy, some pieces fairly vibrating
with smoke, others in which the smoke was only a distant echo. In
conjunction with the chili, no extra barbecue sauce is required. But I
found that in my burnt-end sandwich, a judicial application of the
hotter of Woodyard's two sauces was an ideal exclamation point for the
meat.
For those less extreme in their barbecue lust, the pulled pork here is
nothing short of breathtaking, just-right smoky and so full of juice
and flavor that sauce seems superfluous.
After a multicourse smokehouse meal, the pitmaster invited me to
sample one of the "hot legs" he was cooking (like wings, but
infinitely meatier). Next time, I'm going for a full order. Another
next-time-must-try: the Friday special of pecan smoked salmon.
