Snead's Bar-B-Q is a hidden gem located off the highway, known for its delicious barbecue and a classic BBQ style atmosphere. The restaurant offers a popular Thursday special, the brownie trio, featuring brisket brownies (burnt ends) and BBQ baked beans, which are considered some of the best in the KC metro area. Other standout menu items include their breaded tenderloin sandwich and "The Log" sandwich. For those looking for a non-barbecue option, the prime rib special is a generous portion served during weekends. Despite its old and somewhat run-down appearance, the food and service are great, proving that one can't always judge a book by its cover. The restaurant is bustling with quick and timely service, making it a favorite among locals. Snead's Bar-B-Q has been a landmark in the Kansas City area for over 50 years, and visitors highly recommend trying the Cowboy with a side of beans and fried okra. The beans are particularly praised and can compete with any in Kansas City. Wheelchair accessibility is also available with disability parking and wheelchair access.
Recent reviews highlight that the food is often good, with flavorful sausage and a variety of hearty options. One customer enjoyed a mixed burnt end and sausage plate with fries, noting the sausage had good flavor, though the burnt ends could use more smoke and seasoning. Fries were flavorful but somewhat greasy and limp. Another visitor was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, mentioning efficient and quick service, and appreciating the old highway cafe feel of the dining room. They felt they received good value for the money. Regular visitors also praise the restaurant’s turnaround in quality since 2018, especially for the beef brownies and the Philly cheese steak, which was described as the best sandwich ever. Service is consistently top-notch, making Snead's Bar-B-Q a popular spot for both locals and visitors in Cass County and South KC.
