Zarda BBQ has been my favorite for years. The meat tastes smoked and even though I love BBQ sauce, the flavor of the meat is good enough without it.

Lord have mercy folks. When I tell yall this place is off the chain, believe me. From the time I arrived I met the owner Mr. Steve Zarda & he greeted me and treated me like a life-long friend of his. That alone made my day as a Trucker bcuz sometimes we get treated like dirt out here. We talked outside as I was about to come in & he started walking with me as I told him I was from Big D Dallas and I was stopping by to check this place out. Not knowing i was walking & talking with the owner of Zarda the whole time. He allowed me to tell him how I was sitting n my big truck checking out the reviews of this place & the reviews were great. He kindly smiled and said, Hi, my name is Steve Zarda and I'm the owner. I was blown away folks bcuz he was outside washing the pad around the drive thru & the back door. Now I'm really, really impressed with him as a man & his work ethics as mine. Well we proceeded inside & it was very, very clean, nicely decorated, a pleasant, comfortable atmosphere to be in. Mr. Zarda introduced me to his entire staff which were some of the nicest, coolest, professional young people I've seen n a long time on a job folks. Nobody was texting & half ignoring me as a customer. They were all so nice, knowledgeable of the menu and anxious to help me. That made my day all the way. Mr. Zarda said since this is your first time here I'm going to take care of U. And lord knows he did just that folks. They made sure I was totally and completely happy, full & complete. Lol.. I couldn't eat all that food but I definitely took my to go bag like a champ. The food was to die for folks, the ribs were smoked perfectly & falling off the bone, all the 3 different beans i tried were unbelievable to the taste buds, the onion rings were fried to perfection with a light crunch & the beef & pork burnt ends were just right, they melted n yo mouth with a edge of crunchyness. All I can say is this folks, this is truly, truly my new found BBQ place in Lenexa, KS. Whenever I'm trucking thru here. Just to know I have a place to stop away from home & I'm treated like a dear friend Instead of a customer by the owner & all his staff from front to back, hell that alone is worth my time, money & support folks. I'm asking all my friends, family members, my biker community and all my truckers who come thru Kansas, please stop here & check them out folks. You'll be glad u did & you'll thank me later. Much love, props & hella respect to the owner Mr.Steve Zarda & his entire staff at this location. Sir yall truly made a old tired trucker day a special one sir. I'll see yall soon bcuz i pass thru here twice a week. God bless each of U until we meet again. Big Dave the trucker aka Mr. Krazy-Man 815 aka Mr. Chicago... from Big D. DALLAS.. 10 TO THE FOE.. I'M GONE.. SHO NUFF

Zarda should be ashamed for allowing a grocery store in Arkansas to serve the toughest ribs I ever bought, with zarda s name on them. I lived in kc for years and love real zarda bbq. I should have just eaten my boot

Walk up ordering but they still do ask for a tip. The food was incredible though and I especially enjoyed the cheesy corn side!

I used to eat here a lot and hadn’t for the last few years tried it today and it was a real disappointment. Prices were high, portions were small and food was bland. wondering if they’re cooking it somewhere else and bringing it to the restaurant. sadly will not go back this used to be a great barbecue place

Had burnt ends and 2 meat combo. Nothing special about some cut up beef chunks with sauce served cold. Beans were watery cold and not much flavor. Really disappointed , used to serve great Bar B Q.

This was an awesome lunch with some of my coworkers. Ordering was simple. Food was delicious. There were a few issues with the order when it arrived but the Zarda team took care of them quickly and efficiently. I will be back for more when I'm in town the next time. I ordered the LTD Reserve sandwich meal with a beef (brisket) sandwich, the wedge fries, and a Pepsi. Absolutely delicious!

I looked forward to trying Zarda for several months. I had a pulled pork sandwich and a burnt end sandwich with fries and BBQ beans. The beans and fries were great. The bread for the sandwiches was thick, hard and disappointing.
