The best food we had in 10 days of roadtrip in the Midwest. This restaurant is unique in all its aspects: 1. It’s in a petrol station 2. Although there will be a queue, it moves really fast and the food is prepared really fast 3. Staff are super friendly and immediately clean tables after each customer 4. BBQ food is soooo tasty We paid about 55 for two. You can park on-site. Truly special and highly recommend it.
Lives up to its ratings!! The best bbq/pulled pork! Huge lines but they work hard and friendly at getting people through and clean tables as soon as people get up to leave. Food is absolutely amazing!! Love that they have on FAQ page all sauces/spices are gluten free and they offer gluten free buns (thank you!). We will be back
After having a jumbo z-man for the first time my life has forever changed. Colors are brighter and more vivid, my mild depression is gone, and the world feels a little less empty and hollow. This is the greatest sandwich of all time and my life has changed after eating it. This is not an exaggeration this is 100% fact. I drove 1.5 hours to try this sandwich and I would drive double just to eat it again. Thanks Joes BBQ for making the ultimate sandwich
Outstanding BBQ ribs! Plus had a very good pulled pork sandwich and onion rings. The onion rings - wow. Crispy and tasty. Mac-n-cheese was delicious. The place was packed and we were in line outside. It was a 50 minute wait before we were at the order counter. A very friendly host took our order. One big problem is limited seating for such crowds. This is a former gas station that still has a gas pump in operation. I won't wait 50 minutes just to place an order. There are many great BBQ places in KC.
Great food great atmosphere. We came to Kansas City to try this restaurant and other barbecue, it’s definitely worth the drive in the weight. We came Saturday around 2 PM and only took about 30 minutes. Waiting in line to order Services insanely fast once you order food is amazing and the barbecue sauce is great really friendly staff couldn’t recommend it enough
Joes is in my opinion the best barbecue anywhere. Get the jumbo man add sausage. You will not be disappointed! Their burnt ends are very good and that is what my wife gets most times when we go there. When I tell you it's the best I mean it. I travel an hour and 10 minutes one way just to eat there. The best location in my experience is the one on strangline road.
Best BBQ I’ve had in a long time. I would definitely come here again with my wife and try something different. Maybe the burnt ends?? I had the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese. I haven’t found Mac this good in a looong time. Definitely happy I tried it here. I do wish they had cornbread.
My coworkers recommended this spot for delicious BBQ and they were right on target! I had the Ribs & Burnt Ends Plate. It was soooo good! Their original sauce is ketchup based and a little sweet. I now wish I had bought a bottle. The fries are deliciously seasoned and don’t need any ketchup, but I had to dip them in that amazing BBQ sauce. They are perfectly crispy. My family also enjoyed the Pulled Pork sandwiches. They also had the Mac n cheese which they say was better than average. My coworkers said it was a “must try.” We got in line to order our food which took about 15 minutes and we arrived about 6:30 on Tuesday. When we left the line was twice as long. Once we ordered, the food was ready within 10 minutes. Their drinks are Pepsi products. It was loud, but the restaurant was full and we could still have a conversation.
