I visited the restaurant and I can define my experience in one word, disappointment. And in two words, a big disappointment

Mendel’s KC BBQ may be nicely designed, and the staff pleasant, but that’s where the positives end. This was, without a doubt, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.
We ordered four dishes, each more disappointing than the last:
Salmon Bites – These arrived cold, dry, and completely tasteless. We couldn’t get past the first bite.
Brisket Egg Rolls – Burnt beyond recognition. They were blackened like they came out of a bonfire. If the brisket wasn’t dead before, it definitely was after this.
Grilled Chicken Breast with Mashed Potatoes – The chicken was dry, but in a desperate attempt to eat something, it was the only dish I managed to consume. The mashed potatoes, however, were cold and gray. I didn’t even try them.
Burnt Ends – Supposedly the restaurant’s signature dish. It was tiny and barely edible. Sadly, that counts as a win compared to everything else.
Fries – The only thing that saved us from going completely hungry.
To top it all off, the manager didn’t offer any substitutions, replacements, or even an apology. We were charged the full $150 (!!) for what was essentially an inedible meal.
Kosher restaurants sometimes have a reputation for subpar service, but Mendel’s BBQ takes that to a whole new level. This was by far the worst kosher restaurant experience we’ve ever had.
Next time you read glowing reviews, consider this one too.

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!

Amazing food! I have never had Kosher BBQ but I was surprised how good it was. This is a must for anyone visiting the area.

Authentic Kansas City BBQ all the way. A must stop for bbq and grill types. Very clean and excellent service. I ordered their catered pans and quarts, it is the way to go that’s for sure!

Food is overpriced for the quality and quantity that you receive. Service was overall alright but slow. Better BBQ and restaurants in the area.

I ordered online the sliced d brisket sandwich 2 problems 1 it was 40 dollars on uber eats sounds ridiculous no? 2 the sandwich had the most dry brisket I’ve ever had in my life it was so bad I had to use ketchup to eat it felt like a i took a price if the Sahara dessert

Mendels does not disappoint. I've been here multiple times and while it's not cheap, it's worth every penny. The brisket truffle poutine fries are a meal on their own and they're just an appetizer. Service is decent, drinks are good and the meat is top notch, I would highly recommend.

Mendel's is a terrific restaurant. The food is consistently delicious. They are efficient during busy and non-busy hours. The atmosphere is pleasant and professional whether I am bringing my wife or a business colleague.
