Joe's KC BBQ

This is among the best bbq that I have experienced. This is in the ranks of Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ. My family thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. Staff were super nice and the Burnt Ends, Ribs, and Brisket were delicious. We plan to be back at the next available opportunity.

I know we all have our individual opinions when it comes to barbeque, and in this part of the country I'm sure arguments about whose BBQ is the best are as contentious as a Presidential election. That said, I was considerably underwhelmed by Joe's KC BBQ. If BBQ has a fastfood equivalent it's Joe's. Sadly, I had better burnt ends at the KC Airport. Oh well. To each their own, as my mother would say.

First time to Kansas City and I wanted to try some of the best barbecue from the locals. The place that kept coming up was KC Joe’s barbecue. Walking in, you can smell the slow cooked barbecue and hear the roar of excitement from all the patrons already residing in the restaurant. Following the zigzag in the line, taking me by memorabilia, memories, and photos of the world famous barbecue. The cashier promptly recommended the Z man sandwich, and I politely obliged. Also added a site order of french fries and the mac & cheese to go along with my sandwich. Food came up in about 2 to 3 minutes and the tray weighed at least 2 to 3 pounds. The tray with stuffed with mouthwatering brisket, giant onion rings, melted provolone cheese, all on a toasted bun. My first bite took me to barbecue Paradise. It was a combination of crunch from the onion rings, mouthwatering, brisket, flavor, buttery, provolone cheese, and I added a layer of sweet savory Joe’s barbecue to complete the bite. Hand down was probably one of the best brisket sandwiches I have tasted in my life. The french fries were hot and crispy and had a wonderful seasoning on them; the mac & cheese also was creamy and delicious. Please, if you’re in the Kansas City area stop by Joe’s Kansas City BBQ you won’t regret it. I am a true believer that this is one of the best barbecue joints in Kansas City.

Ribs and Brisket were delicious; cooked perfectly. Mac and cheese was just ok. Gumbo was good but very peppery. Beans & rice were the same way, lots of pepper; would've preferred some flavor variation in the sides. The fries were the best side item.

Ok, my fiancé has been telling me how this was the best bbq I’ve lived here for 5 years now and I’ll start by saying I’ve had bbq all over the world, even top notch places and wow! This is by far the best bbq I’ve ever had in my life! I meat was falling off the bone, the sauce was amazing! And the baked beans was beyond perfection! I found my new spot! Hands down this is the best place 🙌🏼

I’m from out of state and someone was telling me to try this and I’m glad I did because it was absolutely amazing. The brisket was some of the best I’ve ever had. When I walked in there was a massive line and I got a little nervous, but it moved really quick and the workers were really on their game. Definitely will try again before I leave to get a different dish.

Everyone in Kansas City has their favorite Barbecue spot. Joes ranks up there in the top spot. The ribs are one of the best in the city. The burnt ends.. we’re just okay, could be that it was late close to closing time. But they were not my favorite. Next time I’d get a full rack of ribs and a few sides. If you’ve never been to Joe’s then you are missing out.

I came here because I heard it was 1 of Anthony Bourdain's favourite places for BBQ and it didn't disappoint. The portions are HUGE so go with a few people so you can share. There are rotating specials and I had their chicken dinner special which came with a half chicken and sides. The onion rings are perfectly fried and the chicken is very tender and juicy. The staff are incredibly friendly and its canteen style where you walk to the counter and order and then take your plate back to your table. It wasn't crowded when I arrived and got a seat right away. The locals I spoke to also said this is a classic.

Very good food. Carolina pulled pork sandwich was tender and delicious. You must save room for nanas banana pudding it's a must have when coming to Kansas city

Amazing Barbeque! The fries were great too. I got a half slab of the small end ribs and could not believe how big a half slab was! I could only eat 3 bones, so shared the rest. So sad I could take the rest for left overs but was traveling and couldn't warm them up in the hotel. It was busy. We waited in line for about 40 minutes to get to the counter to order, but the food came right out. So no worries there. I want more of Joe's KC BBQ!

So we were told that Joes BBQ was the best in Kansas City, for some reason my gps lead us to the Joes in Kansas, Leawood. We were excited to try this place. the line was out of the door when we arrived, you cannot make reservations here, it is walk in first come first serve. So we get the signature Z Man, that's what a lot of people suggested. The man working the register asked if we wanted cheese on it, I said of coarse, we want the full experience. When the order comes up, the sandwiches were just bbq sandwiches, not the Z Man, the Z Man has onion rings and cheese on it. -1 For messing up the order. The line was ridiculous, so I didn't correct the order, I figured we would just eat it and leave. The food was "meh" as far as I'm concerned. The meat was not hot off the grill and the potatoe salad was gross. The beans were phenomenal though. Joes was our second BBQ joint we tried in Kansas City (This was actually in Kansas). We are going to give Joes Original at the gas station on 46th a chance for redemption before we leave Kansas City. Joes in Leawood is CERTIFIED LACKIN'! No photos attached due to the wrong order being taken.

Had a lunch to fill in some time, looked into it and this was recommended. Nice decor and overall atmosphere. Line of people to order moved quickly. Staff were friendly and warm. Ordered ribs, brisket, burnt ends with beans, Mac & cheese, fries, potato salad & banana pudding. Ribs were yummy, brisket & burnt ends juicy, sides all tasty, fries hot and seasoned well & banana pudding was fantastic. Highly recommended.

I was visiting from California on a school trip and all the locals I met told me to go to Joe's for bbq. Not just any Joe's. The one at the gas station. We took the trek out of our way for dinner and the line was starting to wrap around the building! We thought, "Damn, this place MUST be good." The line moved pretty quickly and you even have an option to buy beverages as you pass the gas station counter. As we entered the door while waiting in line, I was happy to see all the tables packed! This spot reminded me of the time I went to eat bbq at Franklin's in Austin. The decor is similar and the line moved just as fast! Staff was super friendly and quick to serve. We tried a little bit of almost everything on the menu and even took some home to California as leftovers. This place is the real deal!

The Joe's original sauce is perfectly Kansas City- thick and sweet. The smoked chicken salad had a good amount of chicken but the chicken was pretty flavorless and kinda dry. The salad did have good amounts of greens, tomatoes, banana peppers, and some croutons. The bbq French sauce is kinda tart and very sweet. The burnt ends are the ideal mix of fat and meat! Not gristly, good size, plenty juicy.

Bonafide KC barbecue at its best. In terms of restaurants, Joe's is always my #1 priority when I am back in town. They offer a large selection of incredible barbecue sandwiches in addition to all of the classically smoked and sauced meats. This place represents everything spectacular about Kansas City BBQ - meats, atmosphere, and tradition. The kind staff are genuine and so proud of what they serve. There can often be a long line but you can order ahead and pick it up. Worth the wait regardless. I've long said that if I were to have one meal left in my life, I'd want it to be a Z-Man from Joe's. You can't go wrong with anything from their menu, but this sandwich stands out. It comes with succulent brisket (or a substituted meat), provolone cheese, some barbecue sauce, and a couple of onion rings. Simply constructed, complimentarily textured, flawlessly flavored, and down right delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

We went on a Monday right when they opened and there was still a line! Moves fast. Employees were glad to give you suggestions regarding the menus. They cleaned tables quick. You have to go if you are in KC

While staying in the area, I attempted to go to Burnt Ends BBQ one evening for dinner... getting there, they weren't open, but you could smell the beautiful smoke in the air. (BTW - I came back the next day at lunch, still not open, they're closing that location). So, I looked for options and found this place. I drove over to Joe's, which wasn't far, but when I went inside and saw the line I was thinking how damn ridiculous! But then I thought it was like the joints in Texas with long lines, so I waited. I wanted to try a few of their meats to see how well they do them. But they offer more "prepared" dishes here, like sandwiches and plates. This isn't how you're supposed to do BBQ! If you're a "legit" BBQ joint, sell that stuff by the pound! The cashier was friendly and helpful... once I made it to her. Took me 20 mins of standing in line, which is completely unacceptable for the quality of BBQ they have here. Also, they only have one cashier - RIDICULOUS!! All the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. The food was decent, the beans and dirty rice were the 2 best things I ate (even better than the meats and sauces!)! Which is sad... yes, I do love incredible sides at a BBQ joint, but you gotta have amazing meats as a primary attraction! The ribs tasted like they were par-boiled first and then smoked, they were just "ok." The brisket was ok... it was tender... Not much flavor and otherwise boring. The burnt ends were the better of the meats I tried. Nice smoke and flavor. Overall, I can say I went, but I definitely wouldn't go back! In fact, the next day we discussed places to go for lunch and someone local brought this place up and I refused, saying it's nothing at all like I've had at the better BBQ joints in Texas (which is the STANDARD for beef and BBQ and smoking meats in the US - all the top joints are there!). So, we went to Q39 for lunch and that was amazing!

Take out, because lines are long on a Friday after work and I didn't think to call ahead--to that end, I have no idea if they take reservations. I purchased the Z-Man portobello sandwich. No sides, but extra pickles! Sooooo good! Smokey mushroom strips with two crunchy, golden onion rings and some melted cheese, on a soft bun. First time I've ever been to a Joe's KC BBQ. Definitely not disappointed! Maybe some day I'll dine in and try something not vegetarian?

Oklahoma Joe's' best trait is its consistency. By now, you've probably heard its story. It was barbecue born in Oklahoma, but raised in a gas station in Kansas City. Then there was a new suburban location. Now there's a third location. Like its older brothers, this location smokes and serves some of the best barbecue in the city. There's The Z-Man, a KC staple, the New York Times famous slab of ribs, the soft shell shrimp po' boy (it's only served on Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent) and more. If you loved it in Kansas City and Olathe then you'll love it in Leawood. Judging by my unscientific eye, the dining room looks to be double the size of the renovated 47th Avenue location. That means there's plenty of space to eat, though you should still be prepared to wait during peak times. The staff is good natured and positive, even during the busy moments. They're happy to answer any questions and offer suggestions if asked.

Great food Great service ( have me samples to taste) Enjoyed the lemonade drink Family style atmosphere Just what I wanted to experience some original bbq

Strange, only 10 people in line at 6 pm. Their takeaway time estimate was spot on. Z-man good as always. Onion rings warmed over fine. Mac and cheese was super creamy. Brisket cooked perfectly. Ribs were excellent.

World famous barbecue establishment. Fast service . Great ribs and pork/beef. Inviting warm establishment. Reasonable priced. A definite place to go.

This is it! We moved to Kansas City on Easter of 2023. We've been here a good six months now and tried the majority of the famous places to have barbecue and also several of the lesser known places. We've been to several dozen restaurants in all. Joe's is our favorite. The meats here are generally all excellent. They have the best brisket in town and the best burnt ends. The ribs are also outstanding. I also love the sides! So many places in town use annoyingly sweet recipes for their beans. Joe's are not sweet. They are tangy and perfect. Pulled pork here is also fantastic. When you go, there will be a line most likely. Many thanks to our Yelp Community Manager, Sarah, for mentioning that in her review. The line does move quickly. So don't freak out! The atmosphere inside is pretty crazy. It's loud and there's a lot going on. Families with kids, groups and couples. It's a wonderful slice of life in Kansas City. We have also discovered that we enjoy carrying out. The staff is so helpful in bringing the food to your car. You have to order ahead online but they make it very easy. If we have friends or family that come to town and they want to go out to dinner, especially if they want barbecue, the only name on our lips is Joe's.

My go-to BBQ in KC! I love their specialty sandwiches. I usually go for the fan favorite, the Z-man. But I also really love the Rocket Pig, usually if I'm in the mood for something heartier with a bit of a kick. And they have the best fries. My children really love their mac and cheese. If dining in, there is usually a long wait, but once you order your food, the service is quick. It's definitely worth the wait. You seat yourself after ordering. There are plenty of tables. There is also outdoor seating. It's a really relaxed setting. And you can usually find a game on. To-go and curbside pickup is also an option and it's a really simple process. There is still usually a wait if you order during prime times.

Whenever I'm in Kansas City, Joe's is my go to BBQ place. They have multiple locations, but the one in the converted gas station is most unique. While everyone will rightfully go on about the great BBQ, I will point out that they have an excellent signature banana pudding. I think it's a seasonal selection though, but it's called Nana's (or something like that). Delicious!

This is one of Kc's best BBQ places to eat. My favorite time is during the Lenten season when they offer the soft-shelled crab poboy sandwich on their menu. I keep asking them to out this sandwich on the menu. The sandwich is fire with the remolaude sauce. You can't go wrong with the ZMan or the Rocket Pig sandwich. The ribs and burnt end dinner is awesome if you are hungry! Excellent and quick service even though lines might be long to the front door. But if you're a regular, you expect that. Love it! And tell them Fel sent you.

Mixed feelings - places like Jack Stack, Arthur Bryant's, Q39 have overall better BBQ but higher prices and smaller portions. At Joe's, nobody leaves hungry as evidenced by the stack of self- serve to go boxes. Hard to finish a dinner plate. The brisket, pulled pork, and ribs were good not great. The standout was the smoked chicken: thick and meaty and moist. Sides were fine, and prices were super reasonable. At the end of the day - it's about the Que and Joe's ranks in the middle for me. If I'm feeding a family. This is a solid choice. If I'm out for sampling the best BBQ, better choices abound in KC.

Wow the meat here is great. Really outstanding burnt ends, brisket, everything I was able to steal a taste of. Most of the sides like beans are on the spicy/zesty side, but good if you like that. Back when I lived in KC, I only went to their gas station a few times, because it was kind of a pain (. And this pad site in the suburbs doesn't have the same feel, but it's the same delicious product! And everyone works fast and friendly, keeping the long line moving.

There may be a line, but it goes by very quickly! Plenty of seating inside as well (almost like a cafeteria style). I'm not from the area but heard Joe's was one of the most popular BBQ spots to try and known for their ribs/burnt ends. Slab Dinner Ribs 10/10 - very, very tender and falls off the bone - delicious sauce Burnt Ends 10/10 - most flavorful out of all the meats we tried - extremely tender as well Beef Brisket 8/10 - only tried one -- good but def preferred the other two meats - needed the BBQ sauce for this one Out of all the sides the mac n cheese and onion rings were the best!

This is definitely a once in a while heavy, hardly, but scrumptious meal! Indoor gave cafeteria vibes ~ Extremely busy with a long line that went outside when I went! But the line moves somewhat quickly; waited a bit over half an hour~ The ribs were flavored well and the meat fell right off the bone! The rice and beans were good but a bit too salty for me! The brisket was pretty good but def loved the ribs and burnt ends better. The corn was delicious and the crispy onion rings were perfect! Fries helped with the saltiness of the food and had to go with the side salad - pretty basic veggies. Overall, 8/10 had a fun time grubbing on some ribs and all the other heart burning foods LOL

Always loved Joe's KC. Food is excellent, service & ambiance are good. I like the original spot.

I don't eat meat very often anymore, but when I do, I want to make it count. So this is the place to be. I mean they don't need my review but dang. Best mac and cheese in town. Their sauce rocks and I recently tried their take-home seasoning on some steak. It was delicious!.

Never in my life have I tasted coleslaw or Texas toast with less flavor. Brisket was fatty. Only part of the meal I enjoyed other than the pickles was the red beans and rice, though it's mostly sauce with like a tablespoon of rice. Meme related.

The wait in the line was a bit annoying. One good thing is the menu is posted everywhere to include the QR code to familiarize yourself with the menu. Price was better than expected but that was without alcohol. We got the two specials for the day. Sausage was good, ribs were better and to top it off the pulled pork was my favorite. I opted for the spicy coleslaw and potato salad with an extra side of the baked beans. So good. Decided to have the banana pudding. Honest. Well worth the wait. Some may feel rushed with the line of people waiting. Ambience was typical of a barbecue place. Wish Omaha had a Joes

Some of the best BBQ food I have had. Their rubs, sauces, sides are all on point. And of course the meet is amazing. We have bbq (pulled pork), and ribs, Mac & cheese, bean (my least favorite item).

Oh, Joe's, you will always have my bbq heart. I love this location. It's a large sized restaurant that has room for ample seating and their cleanliness impress me every time. I don't agree that one "must" go to the original gas station Joe's to get the "full or best experience." I think their consistency and quality of food carries over to all locations. This one happens to be my favorite. Food is always delicious and staff is always friendly! If you're coming for the first time and you're a ribs type of person. Don't think twice, just order them! Also personally think they have the best pickles, ever. Hands down.

Pulled pork good. Brisket pretty good. Burnt ends? Not like I remember or get elsewhere. Service was great. Friendly. Open late. Football on TV. Not sure if next time where I'll go.

Country bbq cafeteria style. Dishes had flavor and the chili was satisfying. There were convenient sauce options on every table. Lots of meal options when ordering. Staff were exceptionally attentive at keeping the facility and tables clean. The portions of meat were a little on the smaller side. In their defense, I only tried one dish, and I couldn't stay long. Happy to have visited.

Over the years, I've frequented Joe's Kansas City Leawood location multiple times, and without fail, the food's quality and taste have remained consistently exceptional. Every visit, I'm treated to hot, luscious, tender, and juicy meat! The service is consistently fast, and the ambiance is always energetic and lively. I consider myself fortunate to live in close proximity to this restaurant, which is widely regarded as one of the top 10 barbecue spots in the United States. I definitely recommend trying their Pulled Pork Carolina sandwich, Z man Burger, Rocket Pig burger , Ribs - full slab, and Burnt Ends Plate. When it comes to sides, their Gumbo and seasoned fries are must-tries. Don't forget to explore their selection of barbecue sauces and seasoning sample packs; they make excellent gifts. I personally gifted these to my family back home, and everyone loved them. Overall Rating - 1000/10

Very rude service... I will not be coming back... mistreatment of senior citizen! Stay away for if you're over 55.

Went to Joe's yesterday for lunch & made the mistake of a gluten free sandwich. Took only 3 bites & the whole gf bun disintegrated onto my plate. I was so disappointed. Bread was so thick it almost choked me. It was very dry even with sauce on it. Had to take the meat out put the sauce on & eat with a fork. It would've been better without the bun. Don't waste your money on the gluten free bun.

Best BBQ I've had so far this week. Fast moving line, casual atmosphere, fast service, and good portions. Had the Jumbo ZMan (brisket sandwich) and a side of burnt ends. Brisket was tender with good smoke flavor & the burnt ends were melt in your mouth. Sauce on the side, but you really don't need it.

I grew up living and loving Kansas City BBQ, yet Joe's was never on my radar. I live in another state now, so when I found myself in Joe's presence I went inside to give it a try. You stand in a winding line to place your order and they are pretty quick to get your order together. I ordered the Ribs & One Meat Dinner for $19.49. I chose barbecue beans as the side dish. Let's start with the beans. They were extraordinarily out of this world perfect. Just the right amount of specks of meat, a light, smoky flavor, several styles of beans, and whatever gravy barbecue beans come with. It was outstanding. The ribs were not fall off the bone which, I try to scream from the mountain top, is THE way to present BBQ ribs. You want a slight tug and this is how the ribs were served at Joe's. They had a light smoky flavor, seasoned well with the rub, bravo! As for the brisket, this is my normal go-to BBQ meat. I was a tad disappointed. The meat was a little tough. The smoke flavor was good and the brisket did not need sauce which is available at the table. That is a good thing, good BBQ doesn't need sauce. The toughness, though, is what kept me from a perfect 5. Overall, I recommend Joe's. Everyone in the place was enjoying their meals. The staff is super friendly.

Anytime I'm in KS I have to stop at Joe's KC BBQ! This really is my favorite bbq place in KC and maybe overall. Although I really like the original gas station location, I've eaten at all 3 locations and they haven't disappointed. Full disclosure, I've tried almost everything on their menu, but I usually come to Joe's for their sandwiches. The Rocket Pig being my favorite, with the Z-Man coming in second. The Rocket pig comes with pulled pork tossed in a sweet-hot BBQ glaze, bacon, pepper jack cheese, and a BBQ mayo, topped with fried jalapeños. I ordered a jumbo to split. This sando never disappoints. The pulled pork was so tender and juicy, not like at other places that I've had where the pulled pork was dry and over cooked. The added bacon gives it an extra boost of pork deliciousness, because hey, why not !?! The sandwich has a good spice kick to it, but it's not overwhelming. I think most people with even a light tolerance for chile can handle it, and it's definitely worth it, trust me! Next was the Z-Man which comes with smoked beef brisket, smoked provolone cheese, topped with two crispy onion rings, on a toasted Kaiser roll. Again, I ordered a jumbo so that I can split it. Although, I felt the beef brisket was a little drier than I like it, the sandwich was still good overall. Even though I shouldn't have to, I added their spicy bbq sauce to the sandwich, which helped enhance the flavor. We also ordered a couple of sides, including baked beans, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, spicy coleslaw, and banana pudding for dessert. Starting with the baked beans. They were very good and came with different varieties of beans. The beans had a good smokey bbq flavor and came with meat. I'm not sure what kind of meat was in the beans, but it enhanced the beans. I definitely recommend the baked beans. Next up, Mac and cheese. My kid really enjoyed it (which kid doesn't enjoy mac and cheese ) but I thought it could've have used a little more cheesy or crispy texture to it. The mac and cheese had more of a thin cheese sauce rather than a thick cheesy texture. I also felt it was lacking a bit of seasoning/flavor. Overall it's not bad, but it's not great. And now the slaws. I honestly could do without ordering either slaw again. Of the 2, the spicy slaw was better, but not good enough for me to order it again. My issue with the slaw was its vinegar based and had a very thin "dressing". I thought it lacked flavor, thickness, and some seasoning. These 2 slaws did not make the cut. Lastly, dessert. If you've read my previous reviews, you may know that I don't have a big sweet tooth and rarely eat sweets, let alone approve of them. Well this banana pudding was a delicious exception! One of the best banana pudding's I've had. It contained real banana slices and was not overwhelmingly sweet. It was just perfect and really tasty. A truly delicious dessert treat! The pudding was topped with a "Heath" chocolate bar, which I personally thought it could do without. Never the less, I will definitely order it again when it's available.

Amazing! Our go to spot when visiting KC. You can't go wrong with the menu and the atmosphere is always great. Trust the process, you will find a table!

At Joe's in Leawood, I ordered the 1/2# brisket dry! It was sooo good! It didn't need any extra seasoning and it was tender! I'd order that again.... Matter of fact, I did! You have to go when it's not lunch time or the line will be out of the door. Call ahead ordering is QUICK!!

Man, I'm really glad I went to Joe's beautiful atmosphere. You get your order quickly and the food is awesome. The ribs are great. The macaroni and cheese is off the hook.

The ribs at Joes are always tender and easy to chew! The rub on the ribs add just enough flavor that I can enjoy the ribs with or without sauce, but when I add any of the sauces the ribs are very succulent! There is no place I have eaten that has as tasty as fries as Joes has, the French fries seasoning and the amount of fries you get is well and filling! The restaurant is clean with plenty of room to eat and great service! Joes BBQ is my place for ribs, fries, and a good strawberry soda!

In town for a convention and had time to scout out a great bbq. Joe's is the place! Crazy busy and vibrant! The holiday brought in the noon crowd. So much to choose from and all looks good! I like ribs so we chose ribs and brisket. No coke, Pepsi. Water for us then. Splitting a meal was perfect. Ribs were good. A bit over smoked and salty. Brisket was very tender and good. Original bbq sauce was the best. Pickle was not good at all. I don't know if we'd come again as there are so many other bbq joints.

The best bbq in Kansas City! I always get the Z man sandwich and every time it's perfect! The backed beans, Mac and cheese and French fries are a must try! I always suggest Joe's Kansas City Bar B que to friends when they're visiting because it is the best in KC

We ordered take out for 3 adults, plus fries for the kids. Love the flavor and the beans. Big enough for 2 meals for me.

Had given up on bbq places Joe's changed my mind. Clean, fast, friendly service! Everyone always talks about Kansas City Bbq, have been to a few different bbq spots never was impressed until today. Burnt ends were so juicy and flavorful didn't need bbq sauce but after tasting the sauce it was awesome also. Onion rings were yummy, best we've had. Don't be deterred by the line moves quickly!

Tried it out because the reviews were good. It's really good BBQ and that's probably why the line is super long. If you have to wait in line there are menus on the wall and QR codes everywhere if you're too techie to look at paper. It's good food.

Visiting from TX, came here and sadly disappointed. Portions are very small for the price and lacked flavor. Burnt ends are just typical brisket cut into cubes, not true burnt ends. I guess I'm spoiled by TX BBQ, but this place isn't worth the money.

I was craving BBQ. Decided to go to Joe's Kansas City BBQ on. Friday night. Line was out the front door. We got through the line in about 20 minutes. Order the Hogamaniac because you get 3 selection of meats. It comes with ribs, pork sausage and pulled pork. It comes with two sides which I opted for beans and fries. All very tasty.

Outstanding BBQ and a must if you're in KC, particularly Leawood. The counter service is fast and efficient even when the lines are long. Try to go at off peak times to avoid the lines. They have a lot of booths for seating.The Z-man sandwich is my favorite. Go to the original at the gas station for the classic experience, but you'll need to go at off peak times at that location.

The Zman has always been good to me! Come early or stand in a line.. that's what happens with good food!
