14 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Derby

“UPDATE: The GM reached out to me regarding my experience, so I’m changing my rating. Everyone deserves another chance and I appreciate when a business is willing to hear when things go wrong.

Horrible. Ordered 2 lbs. of meat.. Got back home (in another town) to find that we got no sauce. Called up to the store and was offered a free dessert. Was told that the sauce is free so they couldn’t give me any refund.. That would be like ordering a drink with no ice.. Who wants a warm drink? NO ONE! The sauce is what makes the WHOLE meal! Had 6 people to eat 2 lbs of dry meat. Going back to the store wasn’t an option, so had to go to Doller General to grab some BBQ sauce. Will not be visiting this place again. 👎🏼“

“all you can eat ribs on tuesdaysss“

“The brisket was decent, but the sausages were pretty good. The garlic bread was spot on and the brisket chili is a unique find that fits the vibe of Kansas. The potato salad however was nothing special. Overall, the restaurant had an old-school BBQ joint feel to it.“

“Richard Saunders, as a 8 year usmc combat vet, no one cares about your political views on people being maga or not..... no one cares if you are indoctrinated into left wing beliefs Keep this about food“

“They have beef ribs! Overall it's pretty great barbeque, especially for Wichita! Reasonably priced and great service. You can tell the owner puts in some hard work smoking the meat. Also the cheesy potatoes are phenomenal. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other sides and meats. Will be recommending it to all my friends!“

“The best service and prime rib I’ve ever had in my life. Chef definitely knows what he’s doing and the atmosphere was very relaxing. 10/10 will be coming back.“

“Great food. Great staff. Great new location. I had lunch at Billy Sims BBQ in Joplin , MO and enjoyed wonderful brisket and was very impressed with the staff. Jennifer, Dontavious, and Brandon provided great service and a very clean environment. I will be back often.“

“Food was very good, service very friendly and will be going back.“

“The nicest staff of any restaurant in town! The managers brings a smile on every customers face!!! The food is great too! I can’t say enough good things about this staff!“

“My husband and I popped in for a quick meal after Christmas shopping, and were pleasantly surprised by the restaurant and staff. I was debating between options and Shilee (Shaylee?) took time to answer my questions and I appreciated her cheerfulness and willingness to help. It was a refreshing experience after leaving the chaos of the mall and we will be visiting again soon!“

“Ribs were money Pulled pork was a decent sandwich, had better Hot links were hot links… love em!! Ordered sliced brisket and got chopped.. threw it on the Texas Toast and it was fire!! Also tried the Baked Beans, Potato Salad and Mac… all 3 were pretty dang good. The only complaint I have is the Sweet Tea!! Tasted like they use Sweet and Low…awful“

“I visited The Monarch on saturday with my girlfriend and her brother. I got the roast beef sandwich with chips, he got the buffalo mac and she got the chicken caprese. We all enjoyed our food and had a good time. The place was pretty busy but the wait really wasnt bad. I hope to come back soon.“

“We ate here for the first time and we’ll definitely be coming back. The food was amazing, but what really made our experience special was our waitress, Cyanna. She was incredibly kind, funny, and patient with us and had us smiling and laughing the entire time. She checked in at just the right times, made sure we had everything we needed, and truly made us feel welcome.
It’s rare to have service that makes the whole experience this enjoyable. Cyanna is exactly the kind of employee that keeps customers coming back. She’s a big reason we’ll be coming back and requesting her every time. She truly deserves recognition for the incredible service she provides. Thank you for such a great first experience!“

“Lunch boxes are large. Korean ramen very yummy, be careful with the spicy level, Korean spice is a whole nother level of face melting numbness. The DIY BBQ is a massive event be careful ordering all that food. Rice bowels are a delight especially the stone bowls option. I have to eaten here at least 20 times.“
