Wyandot Barbeque

Came here with a friend from out of town, he was looking to try KC bbq spots. While the property isn't esthetically pleasing (his words were "this place is awesome, it's so grungy!") you can get a decent meal. I had the turkey sandwich and he got a pound of beef. The meat was fine, no complaints. The sauce was decent, had a small kick to it that we both liked. He thought, considering the price, he preferred it to the other bbq places he had tried. The place looked fairly clean, I didn't inspect it or anything, and didn't use the bathroom. The employees weren't super friendly. Well, unless you were a regular apparently. But we only briefly interacted with them anyways, so no big deal. If you're looking for cheap bbq that isn't horrible, you'll find it here.

I really don't feel like they deserve all the bad reviews. Is the bbq the best in KC? No. Is it the worst bbq in KC? No. Is it the very definition of fast food bbq? Yes. This was my first experience with this location. Prior to its closure I always went to the Shawnee location but this one is also close to me. They have their own parking lot so there's no issue finding parking. They also took down the signs that several people called out. The space isn't super big and I could see it getting crowded easily. The floor looks newer. Could the ceiling be improved? Yes, but keep in mind that this is a divey type joint. It's not overly dirty but it's not spotless either. If you're looking for white table cloths and fancy pants "ambience" go elsewhere cause you're not gonna have a good time. I generally take my food to go and that would be my recommendation. My go to is the combo sandwich with beef and ham. I swap out the white bread for a bun. The sandwiches are always large. The beef is chopped, the ham Smokey, and the sauce tangy with hints of cinnamon. The crinkle cut fries are always a winner and I love to add on an entire pickle. A lot of people hate on Wyandote. And I can kinda see why. They are a fast bbq option without any frills. They are the option that I choose when I want a sandwich with quantity but at a lower price point. You can get two sandwiches with sides for the cost of hitting up a chain drive through but end up with more food and supporting a local business. It's not a place I would take an out of tower or a place that I would order ribs from. You def need to keep your expectations in check. This is not Texas, white tablecloth, or fancy bbq that's gonna cost $20 for two slices of brisket no side. This is old school, dirty bbq. I'll definitely back.

I've had this place multiple times. They're super delicious. My favorite is the burnt ends. Baked bean is super delicious for a side. Most people Togo here but sitting in and dining isn't too bad.

A seasoned Japanese Businessman was visiting with my wife to explore the local barbecue restaurant at Kansas City suburbs with lower ratings because most of them were Wrong. Yeah, this was surely one of the best local barbecue restaurants. Thank you goodness, so we have enjoyed a lot on Burnt End & Pork Sandwiches with Fries & Onion Rings. Recommend you to try & check here.

Wyandot BBQ is the kind of old school joint that you want to root for, but even they know the score when the first sign you see on the door states something to the effect of - We don't guarantee that you will like our food - so NO refunds given. It can't be all bad, right? After all when you walk in the door you can plainly see the large glass wall cabinet housing all of their trophies, plaques, ribbons...but upon closer look you see that they are 30 years old and they are not BBQ competition awards; they are from dog shows! Apparently the owners were dog breeders - nice!My wait was a bit long for only 4 people in line in front of me, but with large carry-out orders and only 1 lady working the front end it was a good 15 minute wait. Hats off to the grizzled veteran waitress; in no way was she part of the problem as she juggled orders, cash register, phones, bar seating and running back to the kitchen repeatedly to expedite or complete orders. My $15 Mixed plate came with 3 bones, a pile of sliced beef, sliced ham, fries and 2 slices of white bread covering a sauce drenched plate. A lot of food for the price! My first bite was from a rib end - tough, chewy, fatty, and eventually a chewed glob of meat left in a napkin after a couple of minutes of chewing and wearing out my jaw muscles. Beef - stringy and fatty. Ham - no complaints. Fries - crinkle cut perfection. Sauce - a nice sweet heat kick. Wyandot has been around for many decades serving the blue-collar crowd in the area value priced BBQ, but for me their glory days; just like the upkeep of their building - is far away in the rear-view mirror.

I am a foodie. My mother went to Wyandot BBQ at 8441 State Avenue Kansas City Kansas 66112 (913)788-7554 on August 20, 2024. She ordered a slab of ribs, french fries and coleslaw. It cost her $34 and some change for the meal. She gets home and her ribs are burnt!!! She goes back to Wyandot BBQ the man touches her food to inspect it and said, nothing is wrong with it. My mother said I don't want that after you put your hands on it. The man proceeds to throw away her food and told her goodbye. He didn't refund her money nor did he offer her another slab of ribs, fries and coleslaw. We cannot tolerate restaurants treating elderly people disrespectful like this!!! Please don't patronize this restaurant they aren't kind. I love my mother and I will definitely make sure she has better barbecue than this!!! #foodie

Grew up on this BBQ. It is a staple in our family. For some, it is an acquired taste. For us, it's some of the best. The sauce is incredible.

The guy taking the order was less than friendly and the food was questionable. They really need to step up their game.

I ordered their staple. Burnt ends,fries,beans with a water. The beans were just ok. The fries were straight from the freezer section (but the cheap kind). The burnt ends. This was the real problem. I'll guess 7-8 1.5" pieces. Out of this. Only one was not fat or over cooked. I think I ate part of three. Good god did I pay for it. I GOT FOOD POISONING!!! 4 days in bed. Most expensive 15$ meal ever. I know it was their food because I'd been fasting for three days and really craved a good KC burnt end. Which I know what that is. I was in the area and stopped.I think they should just give up. Sell this place too and go watch tv in the trailer park. 0 stars all around. I have to put at least 1. But good god ppl. Give it up.

Amazing food since I was a kid, not the absolute best thing you'll ever eat but definitely some of the best bbq you can get in the area. No they are not disrespectful to anyone including elderly, everyone is just super sensitive nowadays. Always a good experience when I go there.
