Hawg Jaw Que & Brew

Amazing BBQ joint in NKC. The atmosphere is perfectly BBQ, wooden tables, BBQ theme decor, and almost a picnic feel. The tables are set with their 3 sauces (regular, spicy, and their take on a Carolina style), plus smoked ketchup. Counter service was fast and friendly.We tried the two meat platter: sliced sausage, burnt ends, Buffalo slaw, burnt end chili, plus Texas toast; and the brisket sandwich, which is my go to on a first visit. Everything was amazing! The brisket was sliced thin, not too thin, and not fatty at all. The burnt end chili was so full of flavor, and the slaw/beans were great. Hawg Jaw is definitely going in our rotation.

The macaroni and cheese might be the best I've had out of at least 15 bbq restaurants in the KC metro area now. It is smoky! It is cheesy! There is even melted cheese on top! There are breadcrumbs! It is penne deliciousness. The burnt ends are large chunks of ideally balanced juicy meat and fat. They're super moist and flavorful on their own and even better with the sweet sauce which is made with molasses and blueberries which gives it a light blueberry flavor. They have smoked ketchup! Must try along with aforementioned blueberry sweet sauce. The cookies were kinda hard and small for a buck each so I opted for a soft fudgy brownie for $2.25. It was very tasty. The only real downside to Hawg Jaw is the brisket. It's the thinly sliced Zarda style kinda dry stuff. There were wee bits of fat strips, but not enough to make the brisket juicy or moist at all whatsoever other than the moisture condensation from being in a to-go tin. I even asked for fatty brisket on the phone. Super bummer, but the burnt ends and sauces are definitely a destination meal for folks in KC!

They have great options of flavor and food!!!! The service has it ups and downs depending on if they are busy. Atmosphere is alright.

Visiting KC and wanted to try some BBQ! Very cool place, huge mural outside on the wall! We were greeted with a friendly lady saying to come on up and check out the on screen menu. Placed our order and it was brought to our table, very quickly. The people were awesome that worked there. A variety of sauces at the table. And of course the roll of paper towels on the table. One thing I need to say, is they offered Wet Naps.. Every BBQ restaurant should have these available! The pulled pork loaded fries were good, different take on em and nice & saucy. The smoked turkey made me smile, great taste and tender. I love brisket, but this tasted more like roast beef, not bad, just not what I was expecting. Love the smaller spots for a true view of the local scene.

Kansas City knows it's BBQ and this place understood the assignment. Located in north Kansas City with a menu full of all of your favorites. Burnt End / Brisket cooked and seasoned to perfection. Chicken so tender it falls off the bone. Ribs super juicy and full of flavor. Sauce choices - variety is the spice of life. Sides were great...but the FRIES. Crispy golden perfection. And the Mac & Cheese with penne noodles.Great spot with that is a part of North Kansas City history.

I always get the Hawg Trough sampler and two sides to share. It gives you a sampler of pork, ham, brisket, ribs, turkey and sausage plus a side. I add one extra side and it's plenty for two people. Good smoked meat flavors. Beans are tasty . Everything is well flavored. Service is quick. I love the rustic look of the restaurant.

Cool hangout spot with lots of seating. Service was good! The lady at the register was patient and polite while making recommendations for us first-timers.The food is sooooo good! Got burnt ends (half-pound), mac and cheese and seasoned fries. Everything was delicious!

We have been dining here for several years. The burnt ends are delicious. You place your order and pay at the counter, then your food is delivered to your table when prepared. The seating is no frills, but adequate for dining. My favorite side is the sweet potato fries.

Located in North KC, you will find a deliciousssss hidden BBQ gem! Delicious brisket, burnt ends, smoked chicken, pulled pork, juicy ribs...do I have you craving BBQ yet?? There are several tasty sides to choose from as well: mac & cheese, BBQ baked beans, burnt end chili, coleslaw, fries, and more! I ordered the two meat, two side combo - burnet ends, brisket, Mac & cheese, and a side of burnt end chili. These are just SOME of the options you can order at Hawg Jaw BBQ! There are plenty of tables inside to sit at, but this is also a popular grab & go spot. Add Hawg Jaw to your KC Bucket List!

Food was pretty good. Ordered the loaded fries with brisket and the Hawg Trough Sampler. Loaded fries were good didn't like the red pepper on it. The Sampler was really good. Loved the burnt ends, ribs, and the pulled pork was full of flavor. Only thing that wasn't so great was the ham. Not much of flavor little bland. The have plenty of sauces to choose from also and you can always customized the item you're getting. Would definitely recommend especially the loaded fries!
