It was a beautiful evening and we were excited to sit on a patio, have some drinks and barbecue. Visiting 3 Halves Brewing gave us one of those things. We entered and wait to be seated, we asked the hostess if we could please sit on the patio. We were told the patio was only for large parties as there were only large tables. Bummer for sure but we rolled with it, she then proceeded to sit us in the back of the establishment in a corner with storage items, definitely killed the mood. The only positive thing was the food and our waitress, food came out quick and we paid and left as quick as we came thankfully! The loaded tots were very good, next time I will be sure to ask to sit near a window ‍ read more

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

3 Halves Brewing - tenderloin in back. close is turkey and pork burnt ends with fries and corn nuggets. - Breweries Near Me - Liberty, Missouri

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. What can you say man if they know how to make barbecue or they don't and this place knows what they're doing. I recommend you try it. I'll be there again tonight. Come on. You can buy me a beer. read more

Service can be a bit lacking if you're not sat in the main room. They tend to ignore the back room and the patio. Food is always good and the beer and drinks excellent. read more

Great barbecue. Tried the 3 meat, brisket, pulled pork and ribs. Ribs were the best! Cheesy corn great side

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

Great food, great brews and great customer service! I always enjoy a good microbrewery tasting and this one did not disappoint! Not sure if the brews are sold in stores but they are the real deal and could hang with anyone! read more

Had a great West Coast , IPA which is as good as the LA IPA . Also , ordered a brisket dip , sandwich which was delicious with Mac cheese . Great service with amazing bartender! Will definitely come back if I visit Liberty again . read more

We had an enjoyable time with some beer and BBQ. The flight was a nice chance to try several options. I enjoyed the Mexican lager and the cherry sour the most, and the cream stout was a perfect serving in the smaller glass. The burnt ends were good, as was the brisket. The beans and corn were nothing special. The patio is a great spot to enjoy a beautiful evening and the server was very personable. read more

3 Halves popped up on my social media recently and left me intrigued so my next trip to Liberty I had to make a stop. I ordered the pork belly sandwich with the Korean sauce and it was mouth watering good crispy outer shell and tender on the inside it was a delightful sandwich. I asked for spicy sauce and it did not have any heat perhaps adding a grilled jalapeño as an option would be my recommendation to the Chef. My wife ordered the pork tenderloin which was enormous fit for a King but will make a great lunch meal the next day. Another bonus was the excellent weather so we sat outside with our doodle she enjoyed the tater tots. I can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu. 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.

What a great new addition to the KC BBQ world. Stopped by here while in town for a Chiefs game and I wasn't disappointed. Their burnt ends rank up there with Joes and Q39 which is amazing. I'm not a coleslaw fan, but fell in love with the wasabi slaw. My boyfriend from Iowa said the tenderloin sandwich was true Iowa style and he managed to almost eat it all. Ambiance is great with bar and regular seating. We sat at the bar and Jill gave exceptional service! I'd hire her away if I could. She even was nice enough to give me ingredients to the peppermint expresso martini and I purchased once I got back to TX. Everyone needs to try out this location on all fronts. read more

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

I need to first preface that Kansas City BBQ has overall been a wash with me, and I live here. So let's get that outta the way by saying I have very low standards for local BBQ in general. When I do venture out to a place that has gotten some notice, I try to order a few different things on the menu so that my view is not tarnished by one thing, which I did. We ordered a couple of appetizers (the pretzels w/ beer cheese and the loaded tots) The cheese was lacking in flavor, I mean, it had some. I'm just not sure what it was (normally, there is a very specific flavor associated with beer cheese, and this was not even in the ball park) but It reminded me of bland Mac and Cheese served in an old folks home ‍ the pretzels were fantastic though. Now leading to the Tots, which overall, nothing to write home about. They had pulled pork, which was tender but also lacked any flavor other than a small smoked flavor, which was disappointing cause it's normally one of the better meats here locally. I ordered the two meat plate with ribs and brisket, the ribs were absolutely amazing they had flavor and that fall off the bone with PROPERLY RENDERED FAT, which is hard to do I guess in Kansas city the brisket was well cooked but ultimately met the same fate as the pulled pork. The fire roasted street corn was just awful. It tasted like hot mayo corn with tajin, and the Mac and Cheese matched the flavorless pit as the beer cheese. We got the salad, which came in an unusually large dog bowl with turkey... the turkey had some good flavor but was ultimately dry, so it was OK but not great. The sangria was in my girlfriends words, "tasted terrible." Overall, the service was good and attentive, and the atmosphere is about what you would expect of a BBQ joint, casual. Overall, other than the ribs, everything fell the same way Kansas city BBQ normally does, it requires sauce to be edible (which is the same as putting steak sauce on your steak, if you have to do it, the cook did a crap job) and was as disappointing to me as I was to my parents before they put me up for adoption. Edit: I was just informed that the corn was made and tasted exactly like it should have, so I guess that's just a me problem. read more

Checked out this spot with our pub pass. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have any seltzers since I'm gluten-free, and most places on the list have been able to swap my beer for a seltzer. I went with a lemon drop cocktail instead--it was decent. Our server was friendly and chatted with us a bit, which was nice. The vibe of the place was great, and I really enjoyed the music. Looking forward to coming back and trying the food next time! read more

3 Halves burnt ends are better than any steak on the planet! Great service! Burnt ends are life changing!

First walking into this place, the atmosphere looked clean and welcoming, but the food awful. Our cheese curds came out cold and still frozen in the center, I ordered the meat mac & cheese, and the noodles were not done and the meat was dry. My friend ordered a hamburger and the bun was harder than the table we ate at. I simply cannot agree with the overall high rating of this place. The weight staff enjoyed congregating together more than serving the customers. read more

Worst service ever and expensive for the care you get. Avoid! Waittess rude and condescending. Needs work on customer service . Food and beer good but certain help is terrible. read more

Very cool place! Lots of great beer options. The food was excellent and the portions were huge so come hungry or be prepared for a to-go box. Service has been good both times. It's downtown area so parking can be challenging. read more

Best service and food around. Beer is cold and tasty. Cool location. Definitely be going back soon.

Great BBQ. Cool ambience. Good selection of beers and cocktails. Excellent service.

Unpopular opinion warning, BBQ is not my faaaavorite food, l mean I like it enough, but it's never my first choice. Insert big but here, if I'm in Liberty this is one of my favorite spots! They have a great variety on the menu without it being overwhelming or lacking quality. We consistently receive great service and it's always clean. There's a lovely outdoor patio which the weather is perfect for this time of year. It's a place you can linger with friends and no one makes you feel bad, there's not a hint of pretentiousness here, just an air of; we make good food, you enjoy it...sort of feel. The atmosphere is rustic-sleek, if that's a thing. My menu highlights: Burgers, hit every time, I dare you try the cowboy burger, I've only had a bite or two of a friends but dang ditley if that didn't send me to tasty town and I never wanted to come back. It's the sort of meal your offered a bite of and then you spend the rest of your meal drooling over it with an inner lament for having not ordered it yourself. Loaded Tots, whoa Nelly, I'll be back for those. Nachos with brisket...those are my jam. Salad, fresh, huge, satisfying and the ranch is bomb. Mac n cheese, is just perfection really and when topped with meat it's the most charming food group you'll ever meet. Cheese curds, fresh, hot for you. Never hard or under a light, this place doesn't dabble in half-assery. Fine people of Liberty, you lucked out when this placed settled on the square, it's worth a drive from anywhere around the metro, and there's lots to do nearby, pickle ball courts, walking trails, frisbee golf, mountain bike trails, shopping or roller skating if that's your thing. Lastly, I'll say this, 3 halves is creative BBQ fare with great beer choices that will satisfy anyone in your group. There's something here for everyone! Get over there and nosh read more

Grabbed a late lunch at 3 halves. Loved their beer flights! They have my FAVORITE sour I've ever had- the currant state of affairs. If you like fruity beers or sours, definitely check it out! We ordered the two meat plate with brisket, burnt ends, street corn, and cheese curds. The brisket and cheese curds were perfect! I am usually a burnt ends girl, but I didn't love theirs. The outside was super tough and PEPPERY. The street corn was just ok. Lastly, service was SLOW. We sat and waited for a LONG time before ordering. Overall, I'd go back for the sour beer, brisket, and cheese curds! read more

Right after it changed from Jousting Pigs to 3 Halves, hubby and I went for dinner and we were not impressed. We used to eat at Jousting Pigs a couple times a month. So many friends have been telling us how great their recent experience was so we thought we would give it another try. Came in last night (Thursday Oct.2nd) to have dinner and celebrate my birthday. Wasn't crowded at all. We chose to eat inside, but not in the main dining room. The host took us to a table in the side room and there was a man by himself and another table with 2 adults. We were given menus and told that someone would be right with us. Several employees walked past us like we weren't even there. We even said hi to a server and she said hi and walked past us. We had looked over the menu and decided what we wanted to order - still no service. 3 women got seated right behind us about 5-7 minutes after we came in. A server came over and took there order and STILL no one had even taken our drink order. After sitting there for a little over 10 minutes and not being acknowledged, we got up and left. We passed the server on our way out and she said, "Oh sorry guys" - too late. We left and decided never to return. We love supporting local and eat at Conrad's and Nikki's pizza often. We have never been ignored like we were last night. Sorry 3 Halves, we give 2nd chances but not 3rd. read more
