23 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Independence

“In general; good service, good food and reasonable prices for lunch, but a little expensive for the steak and the wings; steak house like $38 , seprisengly; one side only offerd with the steak for lunch, but their Wheat bread is good 🥖🥖. Costumers might wana check details with prices. Salad as a side dish is saving 👍.“

“Best Ribs my husband and I have ever had.“

“We ordered for our company Christmas lunch. All the employees raved on how good everything was. The owner and his employees were a pleasure to work with. The food was delivered on time and hot. Thank you Bronco's Western Ribs. I am sure we will be ordering again in the future.“

“Tried Barabicu for the first time yesterday. Got ribs, potato salad, mac and cheese, and baked beans so I could sample all my favs. The food is perfectly seasoned, and you cannot beat $12 for a half rack of ribs! The mac was elite. New favorite bbq spot.“

From the minute we walked into the door to the moment we left she was fun, friendly, and made us feel like we were friends not just customers. Could not recommend this restaurant more.“

“We stopped at Mendel’s Kansas City BBQ for a quick visit and tried the BBQ Sundae—absolutely delicious! The brisket was tender and flavorful, and everything blended perfectly. Friendly staff made the experience even better. BBQ Sunday 8.6!“

“Came for a birthday party and can't say I'd be back. There were several problems. First off, I waited 40 minutes for a coke. Seems like everyone else got their alcohol though which also had a very long wait. The server Cici was awful to say the least. She couldn't get anything right. My husband ordered the rib dinner and i had the two meats and two sides (brisket and ribs). The ribs were very good, I would definitely order them again if I ever came back. But the brisket was absolutely awful. The toughest, driest piece of meat I've ever bitten, tasteless with no bark whatsoever. They were out of rib tips which I was honestly disappointed about but the ribs were bomb. They were moist yet tender cooked to perfection. The macaroni and cheese *and believe me I don't eat everybody's* was really really good. The greens had too much vinegar but were still enjoyable. The baked beans (Fire whoever made them immediately) literally took a can of bushes and added green peppers and onion. I ordered my 2 year old a smoked wing appetizer and some fries. WE GOT MY 2 YEAR OLDS FOOD AS WE WERE PACKING UP OURS, He literally ate my whole plate because he had no food. I ordered the garlic parm on the side and of course when they brought his wings it was covered in garlic parm. The fries were so full of salt they weren't edible but I got over that quickly. Still being very very generous I told the waitress I would be paying for my friend for his birthday. She didn't just charge my card for my best friends meal, but for everyone else at the table almost 300$. How do you make that kind of mistake. I believe it was intentional. After that I just ran out of there. The service however bad, still didn't overshadow that the food was really good. I just wouldn't order the brisket agian and definitely tell them no salt on your fries“

“food is great and the staff is awesome“

“We had an amazing experience at Al Reef! The food was great, but what made our visit even better was the outstanding hospitality from Salma and Wahaj. They were both incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to help us.

Their service made us feel so welcome, and we’ll definitely be coming back not only for the food but also because of the amazing people here. Thank you, Salma and Wahaj, for making our experience so special!“
