The Tavern Smokehouse

anytime a bbq restaurant tells you the best seller is chopped brisket over french fries drowned in 3 different sauces topped with slimy fried onions served in a dog bowl any real bbq lover knows to do an immediate about face.

Food is mediocre at best. Ribs were fatty and luke warm. Sold out of most sides. Extremely LOUD inside, unsettling. High price for quality. First and last time.

We stopped by here over the weekend. We had a party of eight and they were able to seat us immediately. You order at the counter and then take your seat, they will then call your number and you have to go pick up your food. We had a pretty good variety. We had the brisket, pulled pool and turkey. It was all very good and we would stop by here again if we are in the area.

The food was good. My husband had burnt end and fries. Burnt ends were tender. Said they were great. I had turkey/ sausage sandwich with fries. It was great
Sausage little spicy with a great flavor.

Absolutely some of the best BBQ I've ever had. My wife and I try to find a good BBQ joint wherever we travel. We both had Burnt ends. EXCELLENT. Kids had ribs. EXCELLENT. Tater salad. EXCELLENT. Beans. EXCELLENT. Was most surprised by the fries. They were the best fries I've ever had. This is our Ozark BBQ place now. Better than anyplace in KC, including Q35.

Excellent food. So glad we tried it. Will definitely return.

awesome brisket!! first time but will be back!!

my husband and I decided to stop in and try them outlast week. I can honestly say this place can cook!!! tender full flavored meats, to die for green beans (i need this recipe), mac and cheese, coleslaw, etc was perfectly prepared. Great prices and we will be back. thank you for the great service and full belly's

Ribs, burnt ends, brisket = Just amazing.

I've had the mac & cheese, baby golds and cheesy corn as sides and they are also just fantastic.

Oh and the sweet sauce is top notch!

Been to many of the top BBQ spots in Kansas City and this is right up there with them!
