I really wanted to love this place. Nice ambience. But sadly that's where it ended. I got the…read moresampler platter. A little of everything. And some smoked ham salad. I've had outstanding smoked ham salad so I was trying not to be too harsh. But it lacked flavor at all let alone smoked. The basic consensus on the sampler was dry. The brisket and pork had a decent flavor but both were extremely dry. The regular sausage was only slightly overcooked with a distinct smoke taste. The jalepeno cheese sausage was damn near dehydrated it was so over cooked. My entire party assumed these were old product that had been reheated too many times. I hope that was it. Now for the highlights. The service was friendly and the chicken quarters were outstanding. Great flavor, juicy, a big hit. My date had ham that was also very good. Lunch for 2 (albeit a big lunch) was $70. I expected better.

I got their signature burnt end sandwich, signature beans, and wedge fries. Since I picked it up, I got a chance to check out the place. It was very clean and super busy, which is always a great sign. My food was ready right when I arrived and still piping hot. Everything survived the ride home intact. The sandwich was superb--the burnt ends were tender and incredibly flavorful. The baked beans were just as good, packed with a generous amount of meat. The fries stayed mostly crispy on the drive back, and, as is my tradition, I used the baked beans as a dipping sauce for them! They included two of their sauces, which was plenty. The only minor letdown was the pickle, which seemed to be the runt of the litter. That said, I can easily look past it given how excellent everything else was. As a spice fanatic, I tossed on a few hot peppers from my garden to round out the feast.

We grew up on Zarda bbq and it was great back in the day. Things have ebbed and flowed over the…read moreyears (some years it was great and some just meh). We went last week and it was just meh again which really is a shame. The turkey crunch sandwich sounded great, but turned out really dry. The Limited Reserve Burnt Ends Sandwich was meh. Tasted more like they were cut from the brisket flat than the brisket point. (The point is where burnt ends get that amazing texture and flavor). The ribs were hard to cleanly pull clean bites off (so probably needed a little more cook time). Wishing for the Zarda a decade ago when they really had some quality bbq.

The food was fantastic and when you're taking care of guests coming from outside of Kansas, they want to experience what metro BBQ is like. Black Belt really does a good job of it. Our ribs were fall-off-the bone juicy, the roasted corn was fantastic, the baked beans were exceptional. All of the guests commented on how good the food was and how it helped make the night memorable. They were able to get together a very large order on very short notice, as we let them know in the morning and they were ready for us that afternoon with a pickup, and the results simply could not be better.

I think I can honestly say this was the best burnt ends and baked beans I've ever had. I was…read moredriving to Kentucky and back to Los Angeles so it was a nice pit stop along the way. They had a bit of a later start but whatever. They have someone that gets up and starts cooking at like. 5am or something idk. Everyone who worked there was really friendly. I even got to meet one of the sisters who owns this. I've been told that this place was featured on Queer Eye? FYI, this is an outdoor shack kinda vibe going on. The building is just the kitchen. I'm not sure if they have a restroom or not but eating here can be a little challenging. They tried to set up a little handwash station but it froze over. I recommend bringing your own handwipes or something. I got the two meat plate with turkey and rib tips and a side of sausage and baked beans. I was expecting like. a turkey leg or something but turns out it was just ham.... that they smoked some more. Don't get me wrong, it was good but it just didn't feel that special. Which is fine if you're a local and can come whenever you want. but yeah idk. The rib tips honestly were a little cold and hard with not that much meat. Like some others have said, the sausage is pretty dry and crumbly... good flavor but the texture was a bit of a turn off for me. I wasn't satisfied so I got the burnt ends and potato salad. potato salad was just whatever but the baked beans were sooooo good. Maybe just cause it was hot... and it was freezing so it was nice and warming. But I was happily surprised at the bits of meat and peppers? and other things inside the baked beans. it wasnt just. beans. like most places do it. The BURNT ENDS. had a ton of smoke flavor and had crispy bits and tons of fat and was just. amazing in general. Would come back just for this. They're trying to do a BBQ vending machine... cool and all but I feel like there's always gonna be some a hole who will mess with it... they gotta put that in a friggin cage. I hope this place is able to succeed and expand their business / maybe move to a better location.

If it's a good spot, they will have a queue by 11am and if it's really good, they'll be sold out by early afternoon. I stopped here to check out the "BBQ vending machine" and yes, it's a real thing. I can only wish that they still had some remaining when I got here but as I said, they were sold out. The cook/chef saw me taking pictures and gave me a big smile. Maybe next time!

We saw the truck was coming to our neighborhood ACE Hardware, so we decided to give them a try…read more There wasn't really anywhere in the parking lot for us to sit and eat so we decided to take it to go. I ordered the Bourbon Glaze burger and upgraded the fries to add bacon and queso. My husband ordered the spicy avocado burger and also upgraded the fries. My burger was well cooked and seasoned and the bourbon glaze added a hit of sweetness. My only complaint is that the glaze is on the thinner side so my bun was pretty soggy by the time we got home and the glaze is the only wet condiment on the burger, so I ended up adding some mayo. The fries were crispy and salted well and the bacon and queso were great with them. I didn't get to try my husband's burgers, but he said it was delicious and he really liked the cilantro aioli on it. We'll have to give their brick and mortar location a go soon.

The exterior looked inviting and the parking lot seemed adequately busy, so I noted to my husband that we would have to check it out soon. Several days later we brought our infant and a friend and were warmly greeted by staff who explained the ordering process and instantly made us feel welcomed. We didn't have to wait for seating but it's was nice to see a local business like this pretty busy with patrons. We had a hard time figuring out what we wanted (it honestly all looked good) but decided on brisket nachos, a pulled pork loaded potato and burnt ends with fries and baked beans. When I say everything we ate was phenomenal I mean it rivaled a lot of the major local spots that people flock to in KC for BBQ. I also loved the sauces and did feel the regular/spicy had enough of a variation to appeal to differing tastebuds (I'm a spicy fan and while it wasn't the hottest I've had it had some bite.) Despite some other reviews on here we felt the price was a great value - especially on the nachos and potato - for the amount of BBQ/food. The Mac and cheese we ordered for our daughter was also some of the best we've had out of the house and as a Texan I loved the flavor of the queso on the nachos. We have since returned many times and the service and food have been consistently good. We have brought friends and family each time who similarly rave about the food and good people serving it - and many have returned on their own without us. We also recently took the chance to try their (weekday morning) breakfast burritos after salivating over them on the menu...WOW is all I can say. Worth every penny - huge and had tons of flavor. My dad is quite the foodie and could not stop raving about them. I hope this business continues to have lots of success/growth and that they continue serving up good food here in the northland (and beyond, if they please.) Such a wonderful local spot!

I assumed it would be a basket of maybe about 5 or more fingers for the price. (At least 3-4). I didn't see a description on the board they had displayed of how much product was in each basket, so possibly it's my fault. But instead I received 2 incredibly small chicken fingers and some chips that at least I did not personally find appetizing. I feel for the price there really should've been more product. Drinks and sandwiches were pretty good, but I feel they really slacked on this.
