Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que

Always come to this place during my lunch breaks, and I must say, it's THE BEST BBQ I have had!! And that says a lot!! I am obsessed with their burnt ends, they never fail to impress!!! I. Orally get their burnt end lunch specials, and they normally come with a side!!! 10/10 recommend if you need a good lunch meal! Also the location is fantastic and the staff is always so kind and respectful!!

Stop in because we were traveling through and heard that this spot always had a line. They were not lying. Got in line and grabbed a drink while waiting. Highly recommend grabbing a drink. Sitting was self serve so half of us grabbed a table and the other half stayed in line. We were inside the door from the start and only sat in line for 20 minutes. Ordered the cowboy plate which included two sides, brisket, two ribs and sausage. It was awesome. Wife had the rocket pig and the kiddos had the hotdog and the Mac and cheese. Wife loved hers and I enjoyed mine. Brisket was sliced too thinly for my liking but it was still tasty. I got the potato salad and spicy slaw. Potato salad was good. Spicy slaw was better. Overall, I can see why they have a line. Bbq was amazing. Service was fast. Only minor things I would change but they are doing things right (minus the thin brisket) If you are in the area, grab a table and give it a try. It is always packed inside but nice volume for the amount of people in there.

BBQ was good. Got the Brisket, Pulled Pork, BBQ Chicken, and a sandwich. No issues with the taste. All as I expected. The staff were friendly but overwhelmed and forgot one of my items as I came in after the rush. Too tired to drive back and get it. Mac and Cheese was looking good but could have been better. I don't know what it is with places and Mac and cheese these days but it's hard to find flavor. Place had a busy vibe to it. Make Mac and Cheese great again!

We went early on a Tuesday evening (4:45) and were able to immediately place our order. I had to decide if I wanted the Z-man with brisket, provolone and an onion ring or the Rocket pig with pulled pork, bacon, fried jalapenos, and pepperjack. I usually prefer brisket but the additions to the Rocket pig swayed me...and I am so glad I did! Hands-down, one of the best barbecue sandwiches I have ever had in my life! We also got baked beans and shared an order of onion rings which were both good. (And I sm picky about my onion rings!) All of us enjoyed the barbecue sauces as well. Big bonus: we noticed you can get a punch card for Rocket Pig sandwiches to earn free ones! We didn't get fries this time, but at home we use the Oklahoma Joe's seasoning that they use on their fries which is pretty darn good. We will be back!

We went around dinner time and the place was packed, the option to look at the menu while in line is a great option. The line goes quicker than you think it will. Once you order the food is fast to come down to the end of the counter, you can tell that the kitchen staff is a well oiled machine. Finding a seat can be a negative some times because even with a bunch of seating there is always a large amount of people eating in. They also seem to clear out quick enough that you are not waiting too long. Whatever you order is a good portion and has good flavor. Most people will tell you what to get, I suggest trying it all and make your on opinions.

This is the 5th KC BBQ place we've tried while in the KC area. And sadly the most expensive as well. I'll start with the good. The service was good and the ambiance was fine. But, I value the taste and quality of the food far more than ambience and service. And since you're coming here for the BBQ and not the sides we give it two stars. The burnt end sandwich is our benchmark. The burnt ends weren't burnt, but that's probably due to the fact they probably weren't smoked long enough because the smoke flavor was mostly absent. The sauce was no better than your average supermarket shelf bbq sauce. What was good enough to get the 2 stars. The fries were some of the best. Fresh thicker cut fried crisp with some good Cajun seasoning. The beans. Probably among the best with a good amount of meat and slightly sweet. But if I'm going out for just good fries I'm probably going to the few guys. This doesn't get past the Taco Bell test and there's no way after spending $45 for two sandwiches, one fry and a small portion of beans I'm definitely going to In n Out first with my money. There are at least 4 better options for your BBQ experience in the KC area. If not just about any other BBQ joint.

Folks it's the best ! The line is always out the door, so you know people don't line up for crappy food . It's the best bbq in the Midwest you gotta buy the bbq sauce to take home!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Literally every piece of meat and side dish was amazing. I am often disappointed in bbq places and find it so hard to find ones I like. I was not here. Highly recommend.

I have to say, I had one of the best BBQ sandwiches I have ever had tonight. People were stopping by my table in awe of what it looked like and were asking about it.I had a Jumbo Rocket Pig. I wish I could get BBQ like this in my home state of TX. Yeah, I said it, best I've had. Now, when yall opening a location in TX?! Seriously, when can we expect ya?

Would appreciate your stop raising your prices so frequently, for a single person to have a barbecue sandwich fries and a drink with a 10% tip to cost $25 is getting excessive.
