50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Mission

“My husband, two sons and myself think this is the best... great food and wonderful staff !! If you haven't been here, we encourage you to try it... lots of scrumptious food to choose from“

“This was an important dinner, my son who is 26, had surgery(had his tonsils removed) a couple days ago, and The recovery is described as one of the worst, and it feels like shards of glass in your throat.he has to eat soft food and he had Choices all over the Kansas City metro area. He chose Joe’s, Joe’s mac & cheese to be exact! We live on the Missouri side (Gladstone). So I decided to stop by this evening, and not only get a quart of mac & cheese for him, I grabbed dinner for myself (z-man w/ fries, ribs w/ red beans and rice, Mac and cheese) which I was reluctant to do, due to me having to drive 35 minutes home and I was worried that it was going to be Soggy and cold, Well, much to my surprise, the food was packed perfectly, my food was still hot, and my fries were still crispy! Thank you Joe’s in Leawood you did amazing! I will probably be back in the next couple of days to purchase more Joes mac & cheese! BTW this son of mine recommends Joes to everyone!! He loves all locations! Thank you again!! Sarah Jones (One happy Momma)“

“Food was amazing! 1000/10! Definitely worth the 7hr drive“

“The food experience. If you have not been to an authentic BBQ in Kansas before, this needs to be on your list“

“Food is really good, I've ordered many times from them but my last order included an $8.25 fee for carry out supplies. They charge a percent of the entire bill. No where in the check out process do they tell you this. This seems excessive for 6 utensil packs and 5 takeout containers. Many other BBQ places with similar price points do not charge this fee. If you are going to charge extra fees be up front about it.“

“The trains going back and forth were so cool to watch!“

“F325 BBQ catered my high school's 50th year anniversary pinic and the food was amazing! Welcome to our family!“

“Absolutely Amazing! This is the best bbq I have ever had from a restaurant hands down. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of beans and I can not wait to try everything else on the menu. Even the pickles are Amazing. You have to try this place for yourself. You won't regret it.“

“The long lines are awesome, they move pretty fast … It is well worth the wait in line! The best bbq ever !!! Hands down red beans and rice was delicious 🤤 Go get some !!!“

“Grew up in K C K. Old go to was Plesas bbq on Leavenworth rd. Went to slapps for the first time 6/27/22. Now my go to place used to be Jack Stack but they have slipped. Slapps my new bbq happy place!!“

“As a Gluten Free customer I want to highly recommend this restaurant. The waitress, Hailey was great! She got a special menu for me and made suggestions for GF food. I got the McCoy with pulled pork, GF bun and potato salad. The bun was amazing! The pulled pork delicious! I didn't care for the potato salad because it had a slight tang. Otherwise I can say this BBQ riveled ours in NC!!“

“Will most diffenly be back for more. People are so polite and friendly. Pricing is“

“Found myself in Grandview working a service call on an extremely cold Saturday morning. After I got that furnace fixed I found this awesome spot for BBQ! Highly recommend making the time to stop in, ribs were perfect tender, pulled pork was delicious and not smothered in sauce, I love the beans again flavor of the ingredients not over powered by sauce. 💯“

“We had a great experience today with a work group. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.“

“Visiting KC from Wisconsin and decided to give this place a try. we had 11 in our group and we all really enjoyed the food. very nice people also!“

“Chef J's BBQ was incredible! I was lucky enough to be able to order The Boss, therefore I got to try the Brisket and Jalapeno BBQ Sausage and both tasted fresh with the perfect amount of smoke. The ratio of fat and tender meat on the Brisket was perfect. My girlfriend and I showed up hungry and left with a full belly. The staff that work at Chef J's BBQ make you feel like your eating at home. 10 out of 10 experience!“

“Our service was fantastic. Kaylen, the manager, and our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a special evening. We had friends visiting from out of town and wanted to show them a great time, and they absolutely delivered.
Kaylen took the time to make sure everything was right. We had a dish that just wasn't to our taste, and he immediately took care of us without hesitation. Great customer service is hard to find these days, and it was refreshing to experience a team that genuinely cares about their guests.
We will definitely be back. Thank you, Jack Stack, for reminding us that exceptional hospitality still exists!“

“The strong smell of liquid smoke made me wonder how it was cooked. The brisket was dry, when I added the sauce the sandwich was enjoyable. Will order again. Delivery was quick.“

“We visited Meat Mitch back in December and unfortunately had a disappointing experience, which led me to leave a negative Google review at the time. Shortly afterward, manager Becca Stout personally reached out, apologized, and provided us with a gift card, inviting us to return and give them another chance. I’m very glad we did. Our recent visit was excellent — the food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was outstanding. Becca’s professionalism and commitment to customer service truly made a difference, and we appreciate the effort the team made to turn things around. We look forward to coming back again.“

“Six of us had dinner here yesterday and we were too busy enjoying the food and company to take photos. We did the meal family style to taste different dishes. What we ordered (we are not big in to lot of meat); Appetizers: Rangoons, 2xTiger Cry Beef and Papaya salad Drinks: Bottle of wine and cocktails Main dishes: Drunk noodle, Crab fried rice, Burnt end red curry, Seafood curry (cannot recall name), White rice (came along) Dessert: Bread pudding with ice cream Everything was so delicious! Cannot wait to go back.“

“Alivia made our dine in experience one we will never forget. The location was perfect. The food was good. My husband ate everything. So yummy 😋. The atmosphere was pleasant and enjoyable. The rest of the staff very helpful as well. Make a reservation because this location is popular. But don't let a wait stop you from going. Thank you again for the evening.“

“Very elegant atmosphere. The staff was warm and friendly…. The perfect place to have ambience.“

“Excellent food, friendly service (and fast), generous portions (always need a to-go box), nice homey atmosphere, always clean. My neighbor and I go there often as it's only about a mile from where we live. One of our favorite places in all of KC, and handier than any other.“

“We stopped in during our trip to see family for the holidays. The food is AMAZING, the portions are huge, the prices are on par and the staff is incredibly friendly…great service all around! We tried a little of everything and it all exceeded expectations. HIGHLY recommend and we will definitely be back! 🤩“

“Stopped for lunch on our way to Colorado. Ribs were amazing, fell off the bone! Our daughter has alpha gal and they took extra measures to make sure the turkey she got was safe and dodn't cross with any of the beef and pork. Even my North Carolina born and raised youngins were all about the food!“

“I like the BBQ @ Sierra. It is different I compare it to Carolina BBQ. The yellow sauce has a bit too much mustard ,for my taste, but everything else is excellent! Friendly and fast service. The beer is “cold”. Give it a try you will like it !“

“I have been a wedding DJ for 10 years. That being said, I’ve had a lot of BBQ catered meals😂. This one was hands down one of the top three. Everything from appetizers to meal was top notch!! Highly recommend!!“

“Stay away. They cheat you out of food. I paid for 2 meals, 1 to eat there and 1 to take home for lunch. Waitress threw away my to go meal when I went to BR. Before I left, I asked for them to replace it. Manager said that was her fault, not his, and refused to replace it. They cheat you out of food. Manager is lying in his response. I spoke to him before I left and asked where my 2nd meal was and then to replace it. All in the same visit.“

“I always get the catfish and I’m telling yal it’s the best catfish in the city!“

“Stopped while driving thru KC and do not regret our decision. Food was delicious!“

“I had low expectations for this joint as it was recommended to me by a co-worker with pretty bad taste. I tried it anyways and boy was I surprised. This was the best pulled pork I've had and I've lived in KC long enough to try most all of the BBQ.

Parking: much park!

“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“

“If you haven't eaten here you are missing out out! The best mom & pop BBQ in the Kansas City area, that outshine the larger chain joints“

“Listen it would be a huge mistake to be in Kansas City and not stop for bbq here! Whole experience was amazing! Black owned and they are so nice ❤️ don’t skip the bar either cause baby the margaritas are so fire! Especially if the lady with the red lashes is behind the bar!“

“Went in for the 2 meat platter. I got brisket and sausage! It comes with bread and a side. The brisket was a bit dry, I’d expect a better quality when going to a specific bbq restaurant. Other than that the food was good. 4.2 stars from me due to the brisket being dry. They have a very great staff!“

“Delicious brisket and burnt ends. Baked, onion rings and corn bread bites...scrumptious. Cherry limeade cocktail divine. Katie sweetest and hardworking waitress❤️ Highly recommend 🏆💥“

“Their sandwiches has alot of meat on them. Love this place. Everytime I go in. They have been very nice. I come here for my bbq“

“Wyandot Barbeque is in a class of their own. A long time fixture at their KCK location, they have served what many, many customers have found to be the best, most original barbeque in the entire country. Consistently tender and flavorful. Plus their barbeque beans are truly delicious, and the fries are perfectly crispy outside, tender inside.
Customers are welcomed warmly upon entering and the atmosphere is just wonderful. When you get out of your vehicle, the aroma of smoked, delicious food is in the air. We have enjoyed Wyandot Barbeque food for many years and for me, no other barbeque comes even close to the outstanding dishes prepared there!“

“I've lived in Kansas city my entire life. Today was something to write about. The ladies were so pleasant and friendly. Mrs.Lenoir was AMAZING. Her service was superb and her Cadillac margarita took things to the next level. Smooth and perfectly made. 10 out of 10! The food is always great, but the service from everyone today made me proud to be from KC.“

“Food and service is amazing!“

“Best BBQ in Kansas City hands down“

“I love it!! Great food, Great Service, and really nice all aground. Will definitely be back.“

“Fast and friendly staff. Food was hot & fresh, delicious and the wait time was short. Best fries I've ever tasted. Great food!“

“They are rude and yell at you just because but dont let that freak you out Karen...If your from Texas chances are you not gonna like this joint. But you get so much for your money. This place contributes to the waistline of the locals. Some big people are in this fly-over town. The red bbq sauce SUCKS they would hang you in Texas for serving that mess. Overall they do a pretty good job!“

“Absolutely loved it. The service was great! The food was delicious!“
