Picked up food at 3 Halves for the first time. Wow! the meat was all so tender & so flavorful. BBQ sauce so tasty! Loved how the brisket was cut on the thicker side. The beef Burnt Ends were incredible. Our son got the pork burnt ends & he loved them! Smoky pit Baked beans, mac & cheese & coleslaw were all wonderful! Great experience with the carry out! Only thing is the sides are a little smaller than I thought. Overall we're all going back!! Great carry out service! Was ready before I got there! read more

Cool local spot with tasty and affordable lunch specials. I ordered the 6oz brisket sandwich special and selected Mexican street corn as my side. I was alone, so I sat at the bar where the server kept a close eye on me. read more

We came here for lunch after reading reviews. We shared the 3 Halves plate with sliced brisket, ribs and hot link. We got onion rings, mac and cheese and beans for the sides and some wings. The place is nice. Not fancy, but comfortable. The server was really nice and did a great job. Everything was very tasty. The brisket melts in your mouth, ribs were almost fall off the bone, which is perfect, hot link had just enough heat, mac and cheese was great and hubby liked the beans a lot. We will be back and I will be trying the tenderloin! read more

This place had good Yelp reviews, so we stopped in for dinner before the grand opening of Water Street Ceramics. I ordered a half size of pulled pork nachos, with no olives, jalapeños, or green onions, along with a side of street corn. My husband ordered the one meat sliced brisket plate with baked beans and tots. The good: - baked beans side was smoky and flavorful - street corn side was a small serving, but it tasted amazing - the nachos did not have olives or green onions on them as requested The bad: - My husband's brisket was cold and not very flavorful at all. Disappointing bc it cost $18. - The pulled pork on my nachos was also cold. Idk if they just serve all their meat cold or what, but it was cold. - I can deal w cold meat, but my nachos had jalapeños in them. I don't realize it until it was too late and I'd bitten into a couple; my body does not tolerate them well at all. - When I bought it up to my server, they asked if I was sure, despite a handful of them I'd picked out sitting on the plate next to me. She went back to check and supposedly the pico has japalenos in it and the server didn't know. Based on how the food was served, idk if that's true, but either way it was not a pleasant dining experience for me, and I was really looking forward to going out and trying a new place. - They remade the nachos, but it was def a smaller serving size and the meat was lukewarm. Cool location and ambiance inside with the various seating options; service was not terrible, but not very impressive either. We will not be back. read more

Visiting the area and was kind of confusing at first. Google said it was the corner suite but it was actually the entire building. It was a huge place with an option for some outdoor ambiance. The bar is immediately when you walk in and the staff was super nice. Definitely amazed by the local township relationships and that defines the culture of the area. The owners and staff knew their "regulars" and it makes it almost like a CHEERS theme. I wanted to try everything but I had their golden ale (similar to a Blue Moon) and their seasonal Oktoberfest was delicious. I had the cowboy burger which was huge. It had their house bbq sauce on it and the fried onions definitely topped the flavor. I didn't think to ask for it medium but it was still delicious. I also had the 1/2 pound of sliced brisket, which came on top of a piece of bread. The brisket was perfectly cooked and juicy (even though I asked for cuts with more fat). The major distinctive taste was the cracked pepper on the outer layer of the brisket. The house spicy bbq sauce was a smooth compliment to the brisket as well. Overall, this place is amazing and I would definitely make my way to visit every time I am in town. read more

This is our 2nd time here and today we decided to eat barbecue for lunch. We decided on the big platter for 2-4 people (there's 3 of us). We were able to seat ourselves as they were not that busy on this time of day although they have a steady stream. The place is casual and the food is awesome! We opted for the sliced brisket (melt in your mouth tender!), ribs (fall off the bone tender and juicy), burnt ends pork belly (sticky, flavorful), shredded pork and jalapeño sausage (both okay). Our server was helpful and attentive. read more

3 Halves Brewing - 5 meat/4 side platter - Breweries Near Me - Liberty, Missouri

What a nice place! I am glad we made the drive out here. We found this place because we are knocking out the places on the KC Pub Pass and my fiancé wanted BBQ as well as beer. That only pointed to one place! They have an incredibly deal called the Meat Mile, which is said to feed 2-4 people. We were very hungry that day and managed to eat it all, but I imagine on a normal day it could be shared with more people. When we walked to in there was live music going on up front. The hostess politely asked if we wanted to listen to music, we didn't, so she showed us to a much quieter back room. I was very happy with this as I was a little disappointed thinking it was going to be very loud when we walked in. Several other people went past that area to some additional seating outside, but we didn't go see what that looked like. The best foods for me were hands down the turkey, the Mac and cheese, and the street corn. If we were to do the meat mile again, we would double up on all three of those. The pulled pork was good, but there was so much per serving, we didn't need to double up. I can't eat beef so I can't review the brisket. I had one burnt end, which was tasty, but I'm not a fan of fatty meats. read more

A neighbor of ours back in Indiana recommended this place. Well worth the visit. Good beer, better barbecue! Everyone in our family was happy. The sliced brisket was a big hit and I loved my burnt ends. Great beers too! This is a must visit if you're in the Liberty area. And they're located right near the Liberty town square. Lots of great little boutique shops. read more

friday night chiefs game soo.. it was packed. i will say that the food was really good my group wasn't a fan of the street corn tho. we were in the back room and it there was 1 tv on wall and they had the sound cranked on the tv so with the brick walls, a packed room, and the tiny tv speakers squawking it was a VERY loud room. Our whole group of 8 was cold they had the ceiling fans going full speed blowing the cold air down on us and the food. both waiters said it was connected to the a/c and they couldn't turn them down or off? i call b/s on that one. read more

Deliciously surprised! It's been a while since we visited this place. The last time the BBQ was done by a different joint. This is my second time since 3 Halves is making the BBQ. IT WAS DELICIOUS. We were surprised as we did not expect. We tried the cheese curds, baked beans burnt end and pull pork. Full of flavor, meat was tender, great bark, and full of flavor. Outdoor patio is nice. read more

Came up here to Liberty and checked out 3 Halves BBQ. A cool little spot. There is plenty of seating, kind of crunched in but it's really not that bad...it's a cool set up. The workers are great and the service was enjoyable. The BBQ was pretty good. Not expected in a small town. I drove here to specifically try out their burnt ends. I will say their burnt ends are better than their brisket IMO. The prices were steep. I can't remember the exact prices but I know a 1/2lb of burnt ends was around $18 or more. That's an insane price hike! They're good but they are pricey. Great BBQ, great restaurant. If you're in Liberty and want BBQ I'd suggest going. It's not the best in the area but no where near the worst. It's above average and I'd be surprised if you left unhappy! read more

We just had a delightful BBQ meal at 3 Halves but the highlight of the day was our server Jesse. His conversation and upbeat personality made the meal an extra special experience. Now to the food. I had a half slab and my wife had the pulled pork which were both superb. A special thanks to Jesse, from Chicago, who made us feel so welcome. Wishing him the best in his future. read more

Was visiting Kansas City for work, and this was one of the breweries that I was told to check out. Swung by on a Monday evening, which just happened to be open mic night. Several good performers that played that night, definitely could tell it was a lot of locals and some repeat performers. Great ambience! I chose to have one of their IPAs, which was pretty tasty, and also had their pork nachos. The nachos were a huge for the full order, and they had ambled delicious, pulled pork on top, along with cheeses, scallions, hot jalapeños, and they all blended very well for a delicious taste would definitely come back here again read more

Food was delish and fresh!. The 1st time I came they were too busy to serve us ..it was on a Saturday night around 8. ...they told us that if we didn't have a reservation that they couldn't get us a table (3adults and 2kids) so we came back during the week and the food was great! My only advice is maybe call in advance on the weekend! read more

Fantastic BBQ! First time visiting and we were pleasantly surprised. We had the. 2 meat plate with burnt ends, sliced brisket and another with polish sausage and pork belly burnt ends. Sides were spicy Cole slaw and baked beans. Also had the cheese curds which were spicy too. Meat was spot on and the sides were terrific! We will definitely be eating here again. read more

3 Halves Brewing - 2 meat plate - Breweries Near Me - Liberty, Missouri

This was a nice chill vibe dispite them being fairly busy. We actually really Enjoyed this place. It was one of the better margaritas I've had in a while. normally don't drink all of my drinks but this one was easy. They brew some of their own beer. You can even ask about purchasing some to go. We got their spicy cheese curds for an appetizer & they were good & so spicy! Their ranch was good & helped dial it down a notch. I ordered ribs with wasabi slaw & ranch beans. The wasabi slaw had the most subtle wasabi flavor. I'm going to try to recreate it at home. It was Really unique. The beans weren't my style but they weren't bad. They had more of a tomato base chili style flavor where I prefer more of the bbq style. But other than that, no complaints. The ribs were fall off the bone & a nice introduction to Kansas City :) My husband really enjoyed his pulled pork sandwich & loved the Mac & cheese! We definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

I typically do not ever do negative reviews. All about pumping people up! This particular review is a disappointment for me to have to make. Had a friend in from out of town and ordered burnt end dinners. The meat was extremely dry with over 40% fat . I have had their burns before and have been satisfied. But this time we all ended up not finishing them. Made a call to the restaurant to let them know that I thought perhaps these were leftover burnt ends from lunchtime? And how dissatisfied we were. The person who answered the phone simply did not care . She only stated to come back another time perhaps I would have a different experience. Nothing to try to keep my business. Definitely will not be returning. read more

Decent, if not great, food and beer. I stopped drinking but recall the beer to be quite good and that the brewmaster formerly worked at Cinderblock, home of what was my favorite IPA. The service is generally quite good but suffers when the crowd is unplanned for large. Yet, their attitudes are generally good and the food comes quickly. As for ambiance, the outdoor seating area and front room bar area are very good. Monday nights is an open mic night for local and other musicians ranging from beginners to seasoned, folk to rock, and otherwise pleasing to great. We spent three hours outside last Saturday and had a wonderful time. Check it out and, if you're curious for history, come early and explore Liberty's and stay later across the street at the Corner Bar, a standard in town since WWII. Liberty, more than a town, it's a feeling. read more

I love BBQ and my wife loves Tenderloins, so we had not been to this place and decided to give it a try. I had the two meat platter with Brisket and Burnt Ends. The brisket was nice and tender, but the BBQ Sauce ruined it for me. The sauce is just not good compared to other places in the Kansas City area. I know that Burnt Ends should have a little bit of fat on them, but 3 out of the 4 chunks I had were ALL fat. My wife ordered the Tenderloin and the portion and thickness were fine, but it was WAY over seasoned with pepper and other seasoning that made it very spicy. She was very disappointed by this and made the decision to toss the rest when we arrived home. I don't think we will go back. The service was outstanding however. read more

Clean place and they know what they're doing. Staff is friendly and very helpful. The food was wonderful.

You can buy me a beer. read more

The BBQ was very good. Daily specials. Wait staff and Hostess was on point. We came into town from Ohio and was not disappointed.

Reviewed this place back when it was "the jousting pigs" and found it to be a gross place with very bad meat but i wouldnt have ever called it bbq. What a relief to get to finally experience some of this amazing bbq that KC natives claim they have 'round these parts. (im from texas and always have high expectations) Husband and I had a bit of a wait when we came in the door. hostess was a little busy but once she caught a glimpse of us she visibly made efforts to get to us as quick as she could. Greeted with a smile and thats always nice. Enjoy seeing staff that are friendly and upbeat. There were families and couples so dont shy from bringing the kids. Not sure if they have high chairs so call first if you have a need. Our table was a really chilly and i understand the staff is rushing around and the kitchen is hot so they feel warm. but i have to say there were two families who both had a kid with a blanket. not sure if they were regulars and knew it was cold inside but they had the right idea. My husband's tenderloin was massive. and very tender. i tried some and it was wonderful. I asked our server which she recommended between the burnt ends, should i get beef or pork. She immediately insisted the pork was perfection and was she ever telling the truth. Hubs could not keep his hands off my burnt ends and helped me make quick work of them. Be warned they are filling. had to take my turkey home with me. Everything was delicious. They have alcohol for those that like and bar seating as well. table seating is low or high top tables. no booths. Couple of TVs Didnt use restrooms so cant report on those. Staff was great. and sweet tea was actually sweet and fresh as well. Place needed a little tidying up and seemed like it was half finished. the empty fridge case was an eye sore behind our table and since it was lit up it was super bright being empty in a darkly lit area of the restaurant. areas seemed crowded and our table was too small for all our food plus the table condiments and drink menu/paper towel. need larger tables even for two seater tables if you want all that stuff to fit. would not have been able to keep the chips and queso on the table with dinner had we decided to order it with the meal. Just something for owner to consider. Overall i really recommend. id love to see this place last and grow. That PORK. THOSE BURNT ENDS! thanks for dinner. read more

Great food and great service. Our server was fun and gave great suggestions. The big hit at our table were the Pork Belly Burnt Ends.

10 out of 10 recommend! We had a round of golf near by and stopped in. Very friendly atmosphere in the cute downtown liberty. The food was FANTASTIC. The brisket was incredibly tender, the Mac and cheese was impeccably creamy, the street corn had an amazing amount of tang, and it pairs perfectly with the saison beer. I was more than pleasantly surprised at the local establishment. To top it off Amber, our server, was great as well! The pricing was beyond reasonable. I'm kinda sad I don't live in Liberty now! read more
