Went here for Mother's Day. Brisket tacos were delicious! I wasn't sure how spicy the jalapeños would be- they weren't intensely spicy but too spicy for me that day! The cheese sauce was very good. My husband also enjoyed a taco with the jalapeños on it! The waitress was very pleasant and refilled our drinks quickly. There was live music and no cover since we came on Sunday. They were playing the royals game on TV so that was nice to intermittently watch as well. Not pictured: delicious corn bread and fried Mac and cheese bites read more

BEST BBQ IN KANSAS -- ABSOLUTE MUST‑TRY!!! B.B.'s Lawnside BBQ delivers next‑level, authentic BBQ every single time. The ribs are fall‑off‑the‑bone tender, juicy, and loaded with smoky flavor. The brisket is perfectly smoked, incredibly moist, and packed with bold taste. The vibe is amazing, the atmosphere is welcoming, and you can tell they take real pride in their food. This place deserves every one of those five stars! If you want MAX EMOJI OVERLOAD, ALL CAPS EVERYTHING, or a short punchy hype line just for the first sentence, I've got you read more

This is your no frills classic bbq joint. Checkered table covers, communal tables, bbq, & lots of noise. They have a large lot for parking. When you walk in it's furnished like a dining hall with large long tables and a bar along the wall. There's also outside patio seating as well. This is a great place to hang with a larger group & listen to some live music. Unfortunately the food was really a miss for me. We ordered the pork belly burnt end potato skins, jambalaya, chicken wings, burnt ends with potato salad & beans, and ribs. I would not recommend the jambalaya, it did not have any creole flavors to it or color. I also didn't care for the potato salad, it was missing that tang. I was also disappointed with the burnt end potato skins as they took out majority of the potato so it was truly only the potato skin when the actual potato could've helped provide more texture and body. Additionally by omitting the green onions they missed the opportunity to brighten it up with some freshness. I would definitely recommend the ribs they had a nice bark on them! I also like the array of bbq sauces offered. Our waitress was really helpful and very fast at getting us any additional things we needed. Although we didn't stay for the live music I can definitely see it getting rowdy in there! Would like to come back to enjoy a performance and have some drinks. read more

The pork spare ribs was delicious and the meat was cooked perfectly, and the BBQ sauce wasn't too sweet nor too sour. The burnt ends was okay but I liked the ribs better. The onion rings were delicious and crispy, but the cole slaw and potato salad tasted typical which was not bad. Overall, I might come back to try more things on the menu and maybe hear some live music since the server mentioned that the restaurant would bring people in to play music on some days. read more

I have to admit--living in Kansas City, I'm not a huge barbecue fan. But I decided to finally try a place I drive past every week, and I'm so glad I did. I went on a Sunday in the late afternoon and immediately loved the vibe. There was live music. It was exactly what I was looking for--somewhere local, not a chain restaurant. I ordered a half rack of ribs with skillet potatoes and potato salad... WOW. Everything had fantastic flavor. Even the sides stood out! I ended up buying a bottle of their Spicy Peach barbecue sauce to take home--it's that good. I was texting friends while I was still sitting there telling them they have to check this place out. read more

this place is the shit! i mean it is so cool inside, it's got so many of my favorite blues artists posters hanging, the employees make you feel at home, and the food looks so yummy! i have yet to get it, but when i do i will for sure update my review. the people singing are BEYOND talented like holy smokes blew my pants away. 10/10 you must go!! read more

A good place for great bbq and live blues! Saturday night music began @7, so we chose to sit on the deck, so we could have conversation while still listening to the music. Later we went inside to enjoy the a/c & music. * note, if you arrive prior to the show and are still eating when music begins, the cover charge is automatically added to your bill. read more

BB's is okay BBQ. Good quality meat with a decent flavor, quick service, and a nice interior that has a Louisiana meets Memphis vibe. The spicy peach sauce was the highlight of the visit, though I wish you could taste more peach. I did enjoy the smell of smoke that wafts over and hits you as soon as you get out of the car. read more

Sweet waitress. Ends there Filthy place. Jambalaya was worst ever and dryer than the Mohave desert. For $10 you get a cupful in a small styrofoam bowl. Really pathetic. I understand they have some fun bands and get jammed full of lord knows what but don't take Mom ... or anyone. How this place is survived I don't know it's possible they're barbecue sandwiches are good but I'd be afraid of getting poisoned. read more

Mr. G. and I went here on Friday night for dinner. Since there was live music, Brandon Santini, there was an $8 cover charge. The band was fun, and excellent musicians. I am partial to the Blues, so the experience was a great way to unwind and end the week. Seating is community tables and some bistro tables near the bar. We did not venture to the tented space. It was busy but not over crowded. The food is always good at BBs. Mr. G got the smoked chicken with a side of slaw and pit beans. I got the BBQ Partfait, which is served in a Mason jar. Pit beans on the bottom, slaw, then pulled pork on top. It was filling. Each of us also got a side of Burnt Ends. A side of burnt ends is $6.95. Worth every penny!!! They had my favorite beer (KC BIER COMPANY - Dunkle). They serve Coke products, and have a good drink menu and beer selection with a full bar. Mr. G says BB's is his favorite place. It's pretty awesome that you can eat a decent meal and hear good live music, have a couple of beers, and leave a generous tip for under $100. Date night was a success. read more

We went there for dinner on a Friday night. The inside was packed since they had live bands on Friday nights. We sat out on the patio which had a group of people watching on the BB games. Even with the busy night it was the staff was good at checking up on the table and taking orders. Food was very filling and flavorful. read more

We really enjoyed our time at BBs Lawnside! The service was amazing and loved the atmosphere. The Tater Kegs (a recommendation from our waitress) were the star of the show! We split the Kings combo and added the burnt ends where were very good. We found the sausage lacking but really liked the burnt ends, brisket and skillet fries. We definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun BBQ joint while in Kansas City! read more

B.B.'s Lawnside BBQ was the best barbecue place we could find in Kansas City where you can get seated and have your food to you in 20 minutes. It was really delicious food, the most traditional KC barbecue you could ask for. I really liked the pulled pork, and the brisket cheesesteak was spectacular. The burnt ends were okay as well. The restaurant was really dirty and down-to-earth, in a good way. I came during the live music, so it got really loud. This place is great for someone looking for a traditional KC barbecue, but I wouldn't recommend it for small children. read more

This IS Kansas City Barbecue! A roadhouse with blues starting at 7pm. Picnic table seating or a covered patio. The walls and covered with music and murals. Our waitress was outstanding g giving us the best recommendations. The ham and turkey were so tender and full of flavor. The smoked meatloaf is mixed with brisket and full of smoky deliciousness with a light texture that is hard to define. My first visit to the city and this place hit the spot. I almost forgot! GET the bread pudding regular or fried, heck get one of each like we did. You will thank me. read more

I first heard about **Lawnside Bar-B-Q** on one of the Triple D shows and was intrigued to visit this barbecue spot in Kansas City. My visit was full of lively jazz music and delicious food. I tried the Hot Mama's fried chicken sandwich, the original burger, and the smoked catfish with fries and coleslaw. While everything tasted great, my favorite was the Hot Mama's fried chicken sandwich. If you're looking for a lively barbecue place with great music and food, this is the spot! read more

If you are looking for KC BBQ, this isn't it. This is Cajun style cooking. The cornbread is great - it's like cake! The burnt ends were the star of the show. Turkey was good as well. The brisket was unremarkable. It's a cute little place. The patio is large and the picnic tables are as comfortable as a picnic table can be. Our server suggested the cubed potatoes over the wedges. They are fried twice it seems so they are nice and crispy. read more

If you think "BBQ sundae" sounds gross, you'll have to take it up with Guy Fieri. This spot was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives for good reason. Vintage blues poster player the walls, you can smell the smoke coming from their smokehouse and the service was quick and friendly. This is a Cheers kind of place- they'll remember your name if you come there often enough. It's not in a part of town that is a destination- in fact large maintenance trucks rumbled down the road the entire time. But it is a destination if you want to hit BBS! The BBQ sundae was good- presentation itself is excellent. The beans were flavorful and smoky and were a nice contrast to the creamy coleslaw. My only complaint was that there was very little pork in it- like 1/3 of a cup. I would have liked to see the ratios a little more even. Even with that, I'll be back! read more

If I could give it negative stars I would. Dirty silverware. Styrofoam plates. Yes they handed us dirty silverware on a styrofoam plate WTH One slab of ribs one order of fries $42. What a ripoff. Had to go to the counter and order, waitress didn't come to the table and wait on us. Sauces were gross and watered down. Ribs still had the membrane on them and made them chewy. Way overdone on the outside. Overall horrible experience. I agree with the other reviews this is not Kansas City bbq. Ps they have a cover charge at a restaurant!!!! We missed it . This place is not for new people they all seem to know each other like a cult read more

I was sitting at the bar yesterday really enjoying myself and the music and I ordered a beer.. drank it and then asked for a glass of water. The bartender gave me the water.. so far so good.. until I tried to get her attention for a refill and she kept ignoring me! A man came up to order and kindly asked if I needed anything and I said, yes... my water! He asked her and she said I was being rude and I was NOT the only one at the bar!!! Killed my mood. That gal needs another job, or maybe a hug! Bless her heart. read more

Wow, cool place. Wasn't expecting it. We drove to a kind of desolate area of town and the restaurant is basically a hole in the wall kinda place - looks a little dingy on the outside and is on the inside tbh, think dive bar. However, you can get bbq and live music. The bartender took take of us at the high top and was very friendly. Enjoyable the blues music, we ordered a platter of meats, got ribs, sausage, brisket and brisket ends with potato salad and beans. Stand out items were the ribs and beans. Being from Texas wasn't fussed about the brisket, it's soo thinly sliced, basically shaved beef - the burnt ends are more similar to Texas brisket. read more

I finally got to check out BB's this weekend because my cousin happened to be playing with the band. Everyone was super friendly. They have a nice covered patio area and plenty of family style seating inside. We ordered the BB's King Combo: Four Ribs, Italian Sausage and Brisket. Served with battered fries and Pit Beans. And we added Burnt Ends. I wasn't a fan of the ribs. They were a bit fatty for me. The brisket was sliced and wasn't bad but they were dry. The burnt ends were also ok. My favorite was the Italian sausage. That was fantastic and I would gladly order that again. I'm picky on my bbq beans and I wasn't a fan of these. The battered fries were interesting. Battered Fries are big potato wedges battered and deep fried. I liked them. The live music was super fun. I will be back but I'll probably stick to a sandwich and try some of their other offerings. read more

There were some pretty strong feelings at our table as we tried BB's Lawnside. Rave reviews include atmosphere, margarita, and skillet fries. Less positive reviews go to the meats and other sides. Hell no are for the sauces. Sauces, there are three, none of which are very good. The meats are fine. The chicken comes out with what looks like a nice, crispy skin but it is NOT. Yuck. But if you pull back the skin the meat isn't so bad. Beans, green beans and battered fries are not terribly impressive, the battered fries really need better seasoning. Therefore, go to BB's for the live music, order a drink and the skillet fries. You'll be glad you did. read more
