Applewood BBQ

5 stars from me for Lamon Carter JR and his team for the BBQ that they served at the Yelp Speakeasy Soirée. He smokes all of the meat with real apple and hickory wood and I loved the smoky sweetness. There hot sauce was flavorful but not burn your britches off and I wish I earned a commission working for him because he was the only spot I went back to twice and kinda lingered ...outside it's called loitering lol but it was SO good and Lamon was so gracious . Best of luck to your delivery and catering business. Www.ApplewoodBBQKC.com913-599-6666

Applewood BBQ catering serves up some legit smoke meats, creative sides and are the kind of entrepreneurs who are passionate about what they do.We met with their crew as we are planning for rehearsal dinner in October and want to make sure the out of town guests good a great KC BBQ experience. While we've looked at some big dog BBQ spots in town, something about going with the uber-local, passionate group is more appealing. And while I love places like Joe's KC, there's something so manicured and average about their catering versus their individual meals. That's definitely not the case with Applewood, where it feels like meeting up with your friend who knows how to work a smoker.First thing I tried was the pulled pork with a touch of applewood BBQ sauce and spicy sauce. That flavor combo is made for me, and tasted incredible. I had to pace myself not to eat too much of that. The next thing up was the ribs and they were very meaty and perfectly smoked. I absolutely loved them.The crew brought out smoked chicken wings and my Mom and I both said, "Oh thanks, I'm sure they're good but this isn't likely what we'd have at the rehearsal." We each tried one and changed our minds completely. It was like a rib and a chicken wing made sweet love. The sides were good too, especially the "burnt end" BBQ beans. They have some spiciness that I like in beans. We tried a cilantro grilled corn, smoked tomatoes with cheese, and even some Indian rice.All in all, excited to roll with them once we get it all figured out and hope to be able to update this review in October to confirm that everything was as top-notch as it was when we tried it for the first time.

Some of the best BBQ in the BBQ capital of the world! These guys catered the KC startup village and I highly recommend you get in touch with them and get some BBQ delivered. Great brisket, carmelized onions, smoky beans on the spicy side...all top notch.

Applewood BBQ was serving at the Weston Apple fest on Oct. 3 2015. There was a line of 10 or so people and it took about 20 minutes for them to take our order. I overheard several people saying their power went out for a while but they never bothered to notify anyone waiting in line. After placing our order we had to stand around for over half an hour for them to make nachos and a pulled pork sandwich (that's all they had left). Their "spicy" pork is nothing more than smoked pork covered in red pepper flakes. Our food was served cold and my sandwich had really hard fries that were covered in garlic salt. Overall, incredibly slow service, high price for the amount of food and poor food temp and taste.
