Meat Mitch Barbecue

The McDonald's McRib is one of my favorite guilty pleasures.A slab of some sort of meat-like substance warmed up and possibly fried while covered in onions and a cheap generic wannabe barbecue sauce. Hold the pickles.I've always wondered what it would taste like if somebody took it seriously.Now I know.The Meat Mitch Thursday special is the Mitch Rib - the restaurant's grown up take on the fast food delicacy.It's a slow cooked spare rib topped with charred mayo, slaw, pickled onions and jalapeno inside of a sesame hoagie and it's one of the best sandwiches in town.Feel free to add the barbecue sauce of your choice. I like the Char Bar Table Sauce and the super succulent White Sauce, but I don't think there's a wrong answer.All-Star platters are available if you're hungry, but not interested in a sandwich. There's a lot to choose from, so choose wisely. (The burnt ends and the jalapeno-jack sausage are really good.)Beers and other adult beverages are served from a fully stocked bar.Service is fantastic.Barbecue sauce and meat rubs are available to go.

The ambiance is great and the service is good. This is definitely a great ambience for watching games. It's very clean, especially for a BBQ place. In comparison to some of the other BBQ heavy hitters in KC the food is definitely a little over priced for the amount, but such are the times we are in. What felt weird was the sides. If you don't want slaw, beans, or jalapeños then be prepared for up charges ranging $1-$4 on things like fries or Mac. Oh and don't ask for honey mustard for fries, they don't have it. My 2 meat combo came with only 3 pieces of burnt ends which was definitely a let down but at least the pulled pork was a good sized portion. I would definitely recommend the pulled pork over the burnt ends.

Food - almost disturbingly awesomeService - greatAmbiance - It's a large and loud bbq joint due to the concrete floorHadn't been here in say 9 months, forgot how tasty, satisfying, and ADDICTIVE their food is.My new rule IF you come here 2 or more times a week, that's a VERY good week!1st day - had the Butcher and boar - $24 - Great value for the price - Included is:Forget the Partridge in a Pear Tree!I'll have "Three rib bones, pulled pork, brown sugar sausage, jalapeño-jack sausage & pig candy." (basically like maple candied bacon)All this will more than likely guarantee some leftovers for sure!2nd day - 1/2 rack of ribs (6 - pork) with jalapeño cheesy corn and coleslaw - all great especially with theie whomp sauce or hot sauce.Add your favorite adult or NA beverage of choice, and if your taste buds aren't doing the happy dance then...."like whatever!"

Absolutely AMAZING dine-in experience! We enjoyed the burnt ends, pulled pork, brisket, and a half rack of ribs. The sides are also fantastic: potato salad, fries, Mac n cheese, and coleslaw. Definitely try all of the sauces, too! Thank you to our server Kendra for a great dinner and attentive service. We can't wait to come back!

Definitely wanted to check this out...but not my favorite barbecue...The best thing we had was the fried pickles, which should not be the case. We tried the brisket and the turkey sandwiches...in addition to trying the mac and cheese, baked beans and the french fries.They raved about the sauces...but none of them were that good.It's fancy barbecue place that isn't worth the hype.

Our group decided to check out Meat Mitch for Restaurant Week 2025, the amount of food that you get for the price is extremely worth it. I got the Onion rings for an Appetizer which was big enough for two. My main dish I ordered the Butcher & Boar there was enough meat for a small army. And then top it all off with the caramel apple bread pudding for dessert. Which was big enough for two as well. Everyone at our table took food home. All of the food had amazing flavor and was moist.

Went for KC restaurant week. First time there. So much food! Prices were good on the regular menu. I had a double pork chop. I swear I ate in it. I think I took over half home. I felt like I ate in it for days. (Okay maybe not quite). Definitely going back for more.

This place REALLY surprised me!I had heard about Meat Mitch a few times, but for whatever reason, thought it was a small, difficult-to-find food truck.When some friends invited us to meet (pun!) them at Meat Mitch, a full-size restaurant in a commercial strip center in Leawood, I was surprised at the scale of the operation!The commercial strip at this corner has massively transformed from what I recall a few years back! Very attractive and upscale-looking, which carried over into the look and feel of this specific restaurant (at least by barbecue standards!).We had a reservation and were seated on time. Our waitress was prompt, attentive, and gracious in managing our medium-sized group! We were at the end of the restaurant that borders the outdoor seating, so we were next to some garage-style doors. Not sure about the rest of the room, but that end was particularly loud on our visit on a busy Saturday, making it a little tough to have conversation more than a few inches apart.The menu here is AWESOME - lots of different options! Many "traditional" items, and a bunch of fun and different approaches to main course and side dishes! Our table ordered many different things, and most of us tried many others' dishes, so I got a pretty good sampling! Almost everything was very good! After this first visit, I would peg this place on par with some of the other premier barbecue joints in KC that have, at least, very decent offerings across the board! My only critique is a very, very common one from me around the "burnt ends" offering. I was, of course, not present at the preparing of said ends, but what ended up on our table did not appear to be "true" burnt ends from the point of the brisket, but rather much leaner cuts from the larger brisket, I suspect. While this is a popular practice around the pay-for-barbecue scene, as a traditionalist, I always hate to see this approach, no matter what it likely means for the bottom line sales of said product.This DID usher in a great reason for me to try their sauce, as I normally wouldn't put sauce on such a rich piece of barbecue. I can absolutely seen why their sauce has won awards! It is NOT to be missed, and I would put it near the top of the heap in KC. Well done!I'm sure we will return soon to try more of the menu! Thanks to MM for a great first visit!Food = 5/5Facility = 4/5Service = 4/5Ambiance = 4/5Value = 3/5

With so much BBQ in Kansas City, I can be overly critical at times because there are so many options when one is not as great as another. So, when I say that Meat Mitch is now one of my favorite BBQ joints around Kansas City, you can understand how good the food here will be. Having only been open since 2021, I recently heard about it and sampled the Naked & Afraid sandwich with a side of their cheesy corn. I LOVED IT!!!! The cheesy corn is now my favorite in the city and the sandwich definitely ranks near the top with the combination of burnt ends and rope sausage with a charred mayo and pepper jack cheese sauce. After my first visit, I was back a mere two weeks later to have that same meal again. I can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu and neither should you.You can see more of our experience on our YouTube travel channel: https://youtu.be/S5_r-ZYdeVY

Took wife and son. They had the 2 meat platter and I got the glazed salmon. All was good, service was attentive but not annoying. Ice tea was so good I got one to goAnd we all had leftovers.
