I wouldn't say G&M is divey, but divey adjacent. Beers are cheap, and the food is delicious. I ordered a slab of ribs, so I would have some to take home. They had a great bark, delicious flavor, and were literally fall off the bone. They didn't require sauce, which is good, as the only sauce at G&M's was a bit sweet for my taste. Don't pass up the Jalapeño Pickles! I had the potato salad and beans, both I thought leaned sweet as well, however, the Jalapeño Pickles may have thrown off my taste buds. Pay attention on your way back to the highway, because if you stay on the main road, you will be headed in the opposite direction.

Their menu had a variety of options, but we opted for the pulled pork nachos (after seeing how huge it was from another table) and a Burnt Ends Brisket Sandwich with Cajun fries. Also ordered fresh raspberry donuts for dessert, the owner's creation. The nachos were a huge serving indeed, good for 3-4 people; brisket was delicious; donuts were warm and fresh. Place was clean and organized; definitely a great spot to hangout, especially if you are a KC Chiefs fan! Check this local spot if ever i Ottawa!

The burnt ends were very much the burnt ends of the beef - my husband really liked them but I had some dry bits that were not fun to eat around. Mac & cheese was good, not off the charts. Cheesy corn very good & nice flavor! Onion rings were panko-crust & pretty crunchy (tearing up roof of mouth) but fresh & tasty. Slaw was good enough. Overall good food, will eat here again is 3-4 out of 5 on each item. Service was great, friendly & prompt

My friend enjoyed her burnt end bowl and shared a piece of the meat. It had great smoked flavor! It looked like an odd accumulation of ingredients but she said it all works very nicely together. I can't wait to come back and try a bowl. Her daughter had the French dip and she really enjoyed it. Her husband had the 2 meat platter. He liked the cheesy corn but did not care for the Mac & cheese. They decided the beef burnt ends is the best meat. I had the pineapple crush martini. It was nice but the glass could have been a little more full. The drink seemed like it's probably the kind that will sneak up on me but I only had one. It was pretty smooth and could have had several because it was very tasty. Can't wait to come back!

This is a standard takeout place for our family. I've not written a review in ages, but after…read moreseeing a few negative ones on Yelp, decided to rate my recent visit. We ordered the family dinner, with fried pickles & onion rings as our sides. Smoked turkey & brisket are what we always get for our generous half pound meat choices. We also added a slab of ribs (we have teenagers). Once again, everything was hot & fresh, crispy or soft and smoky; all as expected. No food leftover between the 4 of us. Just finger-licking food at VERY reasonable prices. The staff were- as always- cheerful & knowledgable, and we got a variety of their house-made bbq sauces. My fav is the hot vinegar, but to each his own! This will continue to be our go-to for Lawrence bbq.

This is painful. I've loved this place for years. You can see my past reviews. The last two times…read morepretty bad. The first I let it go but tonight it's not eatable. The once sacred brisket is beyond chewable. I'd rather them just not sell it if they aren't going to cook it. I've gone other times when it was sold out and just had to pivot to something else. That's fine. But, to wrap this up and try to pawn it off as anything good it simply wrong. The only thing left is the spicy ranch. That's pretty good but probably going to need to lace me with alcohol to go back. Goodbye

You get so much food for the price, we ended up taking most of it home lol. We ordered the Round Up and made some swaps, went with the beef brisket, beef burnt ends, sausage, and the crown prime beef rib. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The burnt ends were a standout, super tender with that perfect char. The mac and cheese was also solid and hit the spot. The ambience was great, nice balance of upscale and casual with a warm, inviting feel. It's the kind of place you can relax, enjoy good food, and not feel rushed. Service was great too. Our server (I think his name was Thoeun) was super friendly and took good care of us the whole time. Also have to mention the carrot cake... unreal. We're not even carrot cake people, but this one changed that. Highly recommend if you're ever in Kansas City.

They older blonde lady at the register was very rude to us but I didn't let that spoil our good breakfast since we were leaving. May 13th, I wanted to meet a friend for dinner and thought since breakfast was good, I wanted to try their dinner. She had never been there before so we agreed! We met there at 5:40. It started off okay. But the server was pretty pushy and was getting impatient. We kept chatting and placed our orders. We let her know we would be ordering some stuff to go and went on chatting. She got progressively more rude as time went on. Things got messy when we went to go pay. I forgot last time they charged a 3.5% fee for paying with a card so my husband paid cash. I didn't tell my friend so she was surprised when it was on her bill. She said TO ME. No one else that she didn't know there was a card fee and she would have used cash if she had known. The older lady with blonde/white hair snapped and said it was on the counter (my to go bag was covering it) and on the front door. We had missed it since we were chatting the whole way in. Simple error and no biggie. We said we would remember for next time. The lady was even more rude in her tone and demeanor saying that it was right there on the door and counter again. I said sorry, I forgot and also didn't see it. Talking to me, my friend said she wojld just bring cash next time because she wanted to try their breakfast. I didn't know there was a higher level of mean to this woman, but there was. At that point my friend said she wouldn't be coming back. The older lady started shouting in front of other guests "Good, don't come back." And some other nasty things. I was so embarrassed I brought my friend here. I guess if I would have read reviews over the last several years, I would have been warned about this lady. Unfortunately she is the owner...so...we won't be going back. Darn it! Such a cool place.

The chicken however was like rubber. I ate half a small piece and put the rest to the side. My husband had the Pulled Pork platter which is normally good. The meat was really dry. I ate all the pasta and told our server about the chicken being like rubber and she stated that she's mentioned that exact thing to the cooks but that maybe if a customer complains they would possibly listen. What made me a little annoyed though was that I ate none of the chicken yet they didn't at least bump off a few bucks off my meal. The service was fine but I feel like over the years this has become my last choice versus my first choice.

Very fun and trendy. Cons: No real cons. I know pulled pork sometimes needs sauce, but this one really NEEDS sauce. Just remember that. Tip: Get that bowl. It was very worth it. And get the brisket.

I loved the ambiance. Outdoor window, counter service place, with a dining room inside of a brewery. Very nice people at the window. And the food came out pretty promptly. As for the food, everything was pretty good. The wings had a nice smoke to them and were just sticky enough from the sauce. I also loved the mac 'n' cheese bowl that was topped with brisket and crispy fried onions. Bowls are so trendy, but so good in the BBQ world. Make sure you get your hands on some sauce, because the pulled pork will definitely need it. Brisket was pretty ok, too. Overall, this was a nice little meal.
