    The burnt ends, end of story. Also try the chicken wings, which are exceptionally meaty and tasty.

    It’s not one of the classic KC establishments, but it’s the best cue in town. The brisket and burnt ends are on another planet

    The new kid on the block might have the best BBQ in all of KC. Burnt ends that just melt in your mouth!

    The pulled pork sandwich was crazy good! Hard for a new BBQ place to stand out in a BBQ town, but they have done it!

    One of Kansas City's best. Try the judges plate to get a good sampling of all they have to offer.

    The white bean cassoulet is a great side dish and the wings spend time in the smoker!

    Thank goodness for the food. The only way it should take 2 hours to eat bbq for dinner is when it's 6pm, 80° on a Friday at Oklahoma Joe's.

    The ribs are where it’s at!!! I didn’t care much for the Brisket, Sausage, or the Mac N Cheese. My server was also sub par. You could tell she didn’t want to be there.

    Overall meats were very good. Sides were average. Portions seemed small for kc bbq. Everything was tasty but with all the other options I don't think this would be my pick.
