American Royal Barbecue

The restaurant has a lot of seating, TVs and bright light shining through the windows. We got a table quickly and scanned the QR code for the menu. We were looking for kid's choices but there weren't any shown. The waiter told us they do have popcorn chicken available for the kiddos, just not listed on the menu (not sure why?). We ordered directly with the waiter and the food took a short time. I would say the portions were not great and the food was fine except for the really yummy white cheddar Mac & cheese. For our next trip to MCI, we will try the other bbq choices in the terminal before coming back here.

BBQ brisket wrap breakfast was So delicious. Will make it my favorite and come back next time

Delicious burnt ends and generous side of potato salad. Portion size of burnt ends (4 pieces on top of texas toast) is lacking for a $21.99 plate. Spicy BBQ sauce had a good tang and perfect amount of heat. Smoke flavor on the meat and tenderness was so good that you didn't need sauce at all. Friendly service, easy ordering and payment. A comfortable place to catch a meal if you are early for your flight or have a layover.

I love KC barbecue, attached to this restaurant is BBQ to go, so I thought I would grab a pulled pork sandwich. Can't go wrong, that is wrong the sandwich was the worst BBQ I have ever head, dry and very stringy---pulled pork, really! No flavor, bun fresh from the fridge--and plain, just dang awful--do not eat here, airport or not!!!! Price point was quite average and I would have settled for average but this place should be shut down. Certainly 0 representation of KC BBQ!!

The brisket breakfast burrito is AMAZING!! Their service is fast and friendly. Don't forget to grab some BBQ sauce.
