County Road Ice House

The food is great - no doubt! Brisket so tender - wow! They have a great BBQ sauce (I like KC masterpiece style) plus Mac & cheese was YUMMY! The downfall is that there was not much food. Probably 1/4 lb of brisket (maybe less) 1 side $18. But Beer was cold!The atmosphere is loud - very party meets sports bar. It was a Saturday night at Xmas so it was very crowded, so it might not be like that normally. The hostess was so nice but waitress was just ok. She didn't look at us, greet or smile - just a lump. No refills or return visit to check - she saved us money, I guess.

This is not the original gas station OK Joe's but is a good location and close replicate. Had the ribs and brisket sandwich. Food arrived quickly and was good, but nothing to celebrate. Food was Luke warm and lacked some of the flavor expected from OK Joe's. I did like the location, and the staff were friendly and attentive.

If you can't make it to the OG Joe's for KC BBQ this is the next best choice in P&L district. I was skeptical that it would be as good but quickly proven wrong. The Smokey Joe BBQ sandwich was incredible, I was truly shocked how much meat was packed inside the bun. The brisket and pork mixture is A+++! They also have a handful of different BBQ sauce options you can try on the side- I liked the spicy. Our waitress was so kind and helpful to everyone in and around our section. I overheard her giving multiple recommendations and accommodations to the surrounding patrons.

I came here for dinner while in town for a conference. It was not busy on a Wednesday night. The server was friendly and helpful. I started with the frozen rose drink which outside of a brain freeze, was yummy! I order the two meat meal with brisket and burnt ends. I am not a fan of the thinly sliced brisket as it seemed more like roast beef with bbq sauce. The burnt ends were not as crispy as I would have preferred. I had the fries as a side. They gave me a huge portion but they were just okay. They are seasoned.

Looking for a good chicken sandwich.. well try here!Onion rings with chipotle sauce = winnerFried chicken sandwich with fries= double winner Smoked chicken nachos ( instead of brisket) = double winnerPlus our drinks Black berry and Frozrn mule.. both good just the blackberry is pretty sweet!

We thought this was the original joes because I don't pay attention and get to excited the food here was better than alot of places we visited in Kansas City. They have the best burnt ends here sadly all the food was lukewarm I wish it was hot ! But the taste was so good. We had an amazing waiter Sam I would absolutely ask for him if you ever come. He offered us two different types of Bbq sauce and I was obsessed with the spicy one but the original was amazing as well. It was sweet but not too sweet literally perfect. They have great options for beer and it comes in a variety of sizes as well. The ribs were delicious falling off the bone and the brisket was omggg sliced thinly no sauce needed full of perfection. I didn't love the pulled pork it was a bit dry and needed to be smothered in sauce. I loved their pickles as well.

You can't go wrong with BBQ in KC. The food was good and this was the perfect spot downtown we could walk to. The only problem we had was when we walked in the entire place smelled like sewage. It was very off putting and I'm not sure if it was an off day but it smelt bad. We sat on the opposite side of the restaurant as the smell which seemed to help. My friend I went with is also gluten sensitive and they didn't have enough options for her. Overall, service was fine and I'd like to give it another shot to see if the smell is what was so off putting to me.

Decent food. Our server was very nice but they sat a large table right before us so the service was relatively slow. I thought the food was overpriced and not all that great. We had a pulled pork sandwich with fries and nachos. Touristy restaurant in the Power and Lights District. Would definitely try a different restaurant when we visit KC again!

We tried this place for lunch today. My guest got the macaroni bowl and I got the ribs and meat plate with macaroni which was $2 upgrade for a side (not worth it). All of our macaroni was room temp not even warm. Tasted like powdered cheese. I would not recommend the mac and cheese. The ribs were hot and tender, flavor was good. The pork was very good and the bbq sauce was alright, yet pretty standard. Service was good. The location was nice and close to everything.

Nice location in Power & Light and option to get Joe's BBQ on a Sunday when Joe's is closed. Airy, lots of seating.As for the bbq, the ribs were good (surprised they weren't better?), but the burnt ends were quite tasty. Of course it may have been that they had a decent amount of fat which of course makes it taste even better. Both the regular and spicy bbq sauce were very good. Solid choice, though there are some better options in KC.
