My personal preference when anyone wants bar b que. Its the best bar b que in kansas city. I recommend the chopped beef on bread and the delicious fries and RC cola. The Perfect meal. It puts gates fatty sandwiches to shame.

Had to visit one of my all time favorites while in KC. First visit was at the former location right next door. Built the new improved facility and tore down the old one. Yep it was long ago. Still the same flavor as always. The ordering at the counter and immediately getting the food is perfect. Had my combo on sliced bread, a special order and it was ready in less than a minute. Oh and the fries. Hot and crispy, wow. With the BBQ sauce, a taste sensation for sure. She had her favorite burnt ends platter. So much food. Beans, slaw and sliced bread. Rosedale's serves lots of hard working folks in short order. Get your food, enjoy it and back to work. They have this so figured out. So mosey on down to Southwest Boulevard and try an old time favorite. You're going to love it.

So I don't claim to be any kind of BBQ expert. And for me, experience counts almost as much as quality of food. My recent visit to Rosedale delivered on both.I really enjoyed sitting at the counter and watching the varieties of orders come in. Pro tips: this is some of the best fried okra I've ever had anywhere, so if that's your thing, order up. They also have a hot pickle they cut into spears and sell for a couple bucks. Totally worth it.

Rosedale is not one of my top five bbq spots in KC but it is a staple. I feel like they are very similar to Wyandotte BBQ but imho Wyandotte is slightly better. I hadn't been in several years but decided to check it out again since I was nearby. I ordered a combo sandwich with chopped beef and sausage. The meat doesn't have a lot of smoke or char flavor and was a bit dry. The sausage was good sized and was just split open. The sausage was definitely my favorite between the two meats. The size of the sandwich is good for the amount of money you pay. We also tried the fries which were great and probably the favorite of the sides. The Mac and cheese had no flavor and I would skip this in the future. I also didn't care for the beans but I'm picky about bbq beans. The fried mushrooms were average and again, I probably wouldn't order them again. The whole pickle was good and I liked that it was quartered. I ordered my dogs a hot dog and they seemed to throughly enjoy it. If you're a KC native and haven't checked them out, do give them a try. They have low prices and good sized portions but definitely not the best bbq in KC.

We came to Rosedale Barbeque based on the recommendation of a friend while in town, but also heard a lot of buzz about it while in the area! We came late towards the end of the night, and they were kind enough to give us a little complimentary sampler since it was our first KC barbeque experience! Therefore, we tried so so much that I'll try to summarize as follows - - Faves: Variety of sliders to try different meats, sliced turkey, and CHEESY MASHED POTATOES- Mid: Fries were okay (but take out to be fair), pulled chicken was just okay Overall, the menu is huge so you can find your faves and sauce them up to your liking. Just always always get the cheesy potatoes!

We live in Omaha but ALWAYS stop by Rosedales when we're in town. The BBQ is AMAZING. Hands down the best bbq I've ever had. I've had everything from the Ribs, pulled chicken & pork, and their dessert specials never miss! The fries are always fried to perfection. I love spicy sauces so their spicy bbq sauce is a must too. We've bought bottles to bring back home. Love this place!

Spent the day in KC, decided to wait out rush hour traffic before heading home. Stopped at Rosedale to eat dinner. Hubby and I split the Flying Pig dinner. I loved the fall-off-the-bone ribs! Delish. The "bbq" chicken was fried, which I thought was strange/unique. The BBQ sauce had a decidedly chili powder flavor whereas I prefer a sweeter version. The coleslaw, French fries, and baked beans were fine. It was a very generous amount of food. Big enough to share and then some. There are lots of good BBQ places to visit in KC, this one has a long history and reputation.

Such an incredibly wonderful experience here! Family owned and operated since 1934! Shayla was amazing, so knowledgeable and welcoming. My grandfather used to bring my Dad and my Uncle here when they were young, so it was such a wonderful surprise to be able to grab a sandwich here to take home to my dad for father's day.

I was worried about the mixed reviews but this place is some solid bbq. The meat, the sides, the service all holds up.Coleslaw was nice and sweet, beans are savory, and the Mac and cheese is actually edible when it usually grosses me out at other places.The sauce has a strong kick, they have an even spicier sauce which is also good.This place doesn't win any awards but certainly doesn't deserve the negative reviews.
