816 Smoked Que

Tendernism at it's best in Kansas City!

If you’re looking for legit, finger-licking barbecue from a food truck, this spot delivers in a big way. The BBQ is incredibly tender! It's fall-apart, melt-in-your-mouth type of tender. It has that deep, smoky flavor you can only get from someone who really knows their pit. The sausages are equally impressive: well-seasoned, juicy, and cooked to perfection with just the right snap.

But the standout item is the smoked cabbage. It’s not something you find on every BBQ menu, and here it’s done right—unique, flavorful, and surprisingly addictive. It soaks up the smoke beautifully and adds a perfect balance to the rich meats.

Overall, in my opinion...this food truck is a gem for anyone who loves great barbecue with a twist. Highly recommend stopping by hungry and ready to be blessed with high-quality food and service!

First time having oxtails and they were amazing. Yams are the best I have ever had. Great experience!

The guy is great - but the beans are not anything you’d find at a bbq place and his specialty is oxtail and cabbage (cow tail). The ribs tips were really good, but the rib bones were dry with hardly any meat.
