About Chef J BBQ

Chef J BBQ offers a pleasant surprise with excellent quality and quantity. The MVP meal is a standout, featuring brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. Nestled in the historic West Bottoms in KC, the restaurant is surrounded by red brick buildings that evoke a forgotten era. Inside, the beautiful brick walls and hardwood floors create a warm atmosphere. The thick cut brisket is tender and melts in the mouth. The ribs are phenomenal, falling off the bone and juicy. The pork belly burnt ends are crispy yet still juicy and covered in a sweet BBQ sauce. The jalapeño cheddar sausage oozes cheese with each bite. The beef and cheddar sandwich is a must-try with thick brisket and cheese sauce. Their sauces are a standout. Customers highly recommend the mac and cheese, which is full of flavor and definitely NOT from a box. Sides like hickory pit BBQ beans and collard greens are also good. The employees are friendly and full of great recommendations. It is one of the top best barbecue restaurants in Kansas City, and the food makes a lasting impression, making it a must-visit for BBQ lovers. Customers are encouraged to arrive early, as the food sells out daily, with lines wrapping around the building during peak hours.

I've been in KC for 26 years, and this is hands down the best. The meats, the sides, ALL amazing. The sausage is off the hook too. Get there early because they sell out daily.

We had a fantastic visit to Chef Js today after years of following from afar on IG. I have done several bbq tours in Texas and can say this is as good as it gets when it comes to fresh from the pit craft bbq. The smell of burning wood filled the air as we exited the car. We were in line pretty early and talked to some regulars who love coming here. The meats were fantastic. Great bark on the brisket and pulled pork, tons of flavor and moisture. Tried the Greek sausage with feta...read full review
