Bartender was the best (Laura), asked her what she recommends and ended up telling her to get me what she thinks I should get. Got the pick 3, baby back ribs, burnt ends, and crown prime rib. Bill was just under $50 without drinks. Simply AMAZING! Walked though union station to get here from Crown Plaza, easy walk with awesome sightseeing. Highly recommend the walk. Drink tab was reasonable at $40, had a 2oz Stagg ($25) alone and 2 Miller Lights. Reasonable price for a high end Bourbon.

Great BBQ joint. Plenty of seating. I had the pick three with Brisket, Burnt Ends, and Spare Rib. Brisket had great flavor, good bend, but pulled (fell) apart much too easy for my taste. The Burnt Ends were flavored great and cooked perfectly. The ribs were also had great flavor and were cooked great. Ribs held together nicely for a good clean bite without totally falling apart. I would definitely go again.

KC BBQ can’t be beat!! Great food quality, fantastic service, and wide variety of meats. Be prepared to spend some money but it is definitely worth a try. The Burnt Ends sandwich was extremely good but I wasn’t a big fan of how the meat was shredded. The Mac N Cheese appetizer was delicious. The highlight though was their baked beans! Generally not a fan of baked beans but their take on them was superb and full of flavor. The sweet iced tea was average which was disappointing. Overall, 4 stars is a fair assessment of the experience.
