22 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lees Summit

“The food is great. The service is great and best of all it's repeatable... I get top notch food and service every time. You really can't say that about most restaurants, especially when you're talking about barbecue.... And you've got to try the onion rings.. you can't go wrong with the ribs. Whether it's the beef ribs or baby back... The brisket and burn-ins are also really good and they have great sides.“

“I have to say 100 out of 10 starts!!!!! A friend asked me if ive ever been, said never heard of this place. Well i ordered the 3 meat 3 side platter, got the burnt ends, brisket and ribs with beans, slaw and jazzy fries. Only thing I didnt really like was the slaw but everything else hands down was AMAZING!!!! The burnt ends just melt in your mouth, that jazzy sauce is addictive and they have a really good honey mustard as well. Also got the friend mushrooms, they use portobello mushrooms and they are a 10 out of 10 with the in house made ranch...... I will be going back, and it has me wanting this place over Jack stack and I grew up on Jack stack.“

Good portions, ribs are amazing and burnt ends a favorite. Cookie to top it off and nice meal. Now stroll the marketplace booths!

Update 12/16/25
Thanks for adding mushrooms! However 6 as a side is hardly enough to call it a side… up the game 10-12 makes it a side I would say…
Otherwise meal was top notch tonight!“
