Blind Box BBQ

In Kansas City for a short visit and had to have bbq. Never have been here before but trusted reviews on Yelp. And it did not disappoint!! Get the bbq nachos. Just do it! Its layers of fixin's - not fixin's all dumped on top. The bottom nacho had bbq and ooey gooey stuff just like the top nacho. The pico gave it a hint of heat and the sweet corn was the connector between the meat and queso. But not to be outdone was the Notorious Pig, piled HIGH with pulled pork, sausage, Mac and cheese, fried onion strings and bbq sauce- YUM!Love the casual vibe and live music on Friday night. Counter cashier was super helpful when I said we'd never been here before. And when you're done eating you can shop at NFM without leaving the building, lol. Truly a great find.

Blind Box BBQ in Kansas City is definitely worth the visit for barbecue lovers! The meat was absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The baked beans were also a standout, with just the right amount of smokiness and sweetness.The only downside was that we didn't receive the BBQ sauce or silverware we requested in our to-go order, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the quality of the food made up for it, and the staff was friendly, so it didn't dampen the overall experience too much.If you're in the mood for some good BBQ, Blind Box BBQ is a great choice. Just double-check your order to make sure you've got everything you need. We'll definitely be back!

We stopped in before hitting up NFM. The menu has a great selection of entrees and sides. I went with the platter of burnt ends and brisket with a side of potato salad. Hubs decided on a brisket sandwich with cheese and bell peppers and French fries. Service was a little slow at this location - as there was only one person taking the order and the same person preparing the meal and serving to tables. The fries were unseasoned. But everything else was fantastic with great flavor.

Went to have dinner before a sporting game, this place is located in NFM. It is a order than sit type of restaurant. Line was about 8 orders deep, took about 15 to get the front. A little confusing where to pick up the beer after ordering. Food came out in about 15 minute. I had bbq wontons and my dad got Bleu brunt end salad. I loved the wontons, definitely something to try. I added honey mustard as dipping sauce. Onion tangles on the salad were crispy but the burnt ends were just ok.

Cashier was zero help and zero smiles (you order at the cash register). In fact she seemed a bit annoyed that we had questions and didn't know the answers. Simple question ("It looks like pretzel bites are the same price on the happy hour menu as the regular menu, is there a difference?" "I dunno..."). Having said that, the food was good and the giant store that it's in is fun to browse around in! Maybe she was having a rough day, But they definitely didn't have their people person on the register. Ok. Rant over, food was fine I'd eat it again. Go check it out!

I really enjoy Blind Box BBQ at their Shawnee location. We stopped by the Nebraska Furniture Mart location before a Monarchs game. There was not a long wait and the food came out very quickly. The BBQ nachos are a ton of chips and really is more than enough for 2 or 3 people. There was not a lot of meat on these though and the chips at the center had not toppings. The wontons were just ok. They did not compare to the wontons at the other location. Overall, this was an ok stop for us before going to a game. I would probably come back for nachos if I wanted something quick in this area.

Didn't expect much from a bbq joint inside NFM, but man, it was surprisingly good! Everything my family tried was delicious and nice large portions (even the kids menu!). They didn't skimp on the meat either. Delicious! And it was busy for a Tuesday night!

This is heartbreaking for me to write, I love BBQ, and my husband and I were very tired and hungry from a day of shopping. The brisket sandwich meat is not well trimmed at all. I would estimate that 1/2 of it was untended fat. The meat was extremely tough, and I was able to see veins/arteries in between the layers of the brisket. Was it brisket?? Hmmm.Now for some tough love and keep reading for some positive things:The fries were average. Yes, they were hot and made fresh! Drinks are Pepsi fountain whee you serve yourself. The water fountain tastes like pinesol and bleach. It was very stinky, and sadly I didn't taste it before I offered a cup to my service dog. He was hot and tired, I will bring his bottle in next time. He only sniffed the water. I should have known at that point. The staff bring your sandwiches to your table, and you have to juggle your drink cups, and condiments, along with extra napkins, sometimes it's just overwhelming to carry too many things. The combo sandwich with beef and ham was terrible. The ham looked like deli meat thick slices and they were tremendously salty. To the restaurant: if you are buying this instead of making it yourself, you should stop!!! Fine tune your own.The Mac and cheese was fantastic! Very rich, but fantastic. We left 2 whole sandwiches, 2 plates of fries and ate 1/2 the Mac and cheese.If you like the food, great! But I will be saving my money next time!

I'll play captain obvious - The NFM location is simply a if you are in need of food should you eat here situation. It's not bad, but it's just getting by. So, I'd rather move on down the road if I can hold my hunger.

Location: Kansas City Kansas. Inside Nebraska Furniture Mart.Ambiance: indoor and outdoor seating. It is very convenient if you come to NFM.Food: it is good. Ribs and their BBQ sauces are delicious. Not the quality that you get on Q39 or Fiorella's. But this place is decent.Be careful at choosing the sides. Mc and cheese was horrible, lacked flavor and cheese, and pasta was overcookedService: You order at the front desk, you get a number, and they bring the order to your table. Sauces and drinks are self-service.
