in the last weekGreat patio, especially for families. Lots of fun games. Food is also solid, though I wouldn't recommend the ribs.

in the last weekNot the most gastronomical (or authentic) BBQ option in KC but it’s got a chill atmosphere. Lawn games. A fire pit. Two bars. Good spot to post up with friends, eat too much, and probably spend a lil more money than you wanted to.

in the last weekOne of the top places in Kansas City for barbecue. And everything on here is my opinion. It's a fun atmosphere, but very clean. Service is excellent and the barbecue is varied and delicious across the board. Pork, beef and chicken are all served hot and well Smoked. The sides are varied, not just the usual potato salad and baked beans, but a broccoli slaw, bacon masterpiece and jalapeno cheddar corn bag is sublime.
