A historic land mark of Springfield that doesn’t disappoint to this day. Walking up to the door you are greeted by the smells of real KC BBQ, and as soon as you walk into the building you can just see the history. But not the history you hear about in Springfield. You see the history of the African American community in Springfield. As your mouth waters waiting for your food, you can read articles from across their 55 years in business on the walls. The food is divine, the owner...

Normally their food is great. We ordered 2 large end spare ribs. They didn't have any cooked so we swapped to large end rubbed baby back. This time my husband and I both got burnt ribs to where all you could taste was charcoal.

The experience is like no other. This place holds so much history. The owner was amazing and greeted us himself. You can tell the moment you walk in how loved this restaurant is by the entire community. Great food! I highly recommend it. They smoke it in house. Just a heads up if you have a hard time with BBQ smoke. Otherwise, it is totaly worth it to dine in.
