An instant classic, especially for BBQ lovers. Joe's has an amazing selection of BBQ dishes and…read moresome surprisingly good sides as well. There are a few important things to remember, the first being that you better get there before 530pm during dinner. Limited seating, massively popular, plan accordingly. The food is definitely worth coming for. The brisket and burnt ends are my favorite, but the sausage and pulled pork are also really good. For sides, I would recommend the BBQ beans, jalapeño corn or even the fries. I think the atmosphere of being attached to a gas station adds something to the nostalgia, but the staff is the real star of the show. Everyone is super friendly and they really push people through. We love it here, and will be back again for sure.

The menu is extensive, and I have only tried a few items, but wow. The FLAVOURS are delicious. I tried smoked turkey and brisket and rib tips--the rib tips are chewy little flavour bombs! The turkey-brisket sandwich is a very generous portion. I gladly tasted it to let the staff know my instant reaction, and I honestly couldn't say much but "delicious"--because I didn't want to stop eating! Here a pickle slice isn't a wafer. It's a full 3/4" slice. The BBQ rub/seasoning here is very mild (as I requested), and the drier, crusty parts are so yummy, I have no words. My guess is it was cooked "low and slow" for several hours. It's not a large restaurant, which sort of fits the homey BBQ/smoked meats cultural tradition. If they were in a more central location, it would surely be swamped. I read that they sell out of popular choices, so I arrived early (my usual mid-afternoon between-meals) time. I'm sure that they're often very busy, too. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, making sure I got what I wanted. It's a bit of a drive for me from South KCMO, but I'll definitely return sooner than later! 5 solid stars: !

They had our order ready when we arrived. Ordering online was easy! I've gotten the salad which comes with ham and Turkey - $13. I added some brisket for an extra $3 making my salad $16. It was good and I got a large portion of meats. This will probably sound like a weird complaint but the turkey tasted very strong. It almost overpowered everything else in the salad. I usually like turkey but this was borderline for me. Everything else was very good. I think we will be back for the rib special!
