    Cousins Maine Lobster has been around the KC area for a few years now. I had been to a few pop ups…read morewhen they were just starting out here, back when wait times were 2 hours. They have a bigger presence now and do more frequent pop ups so I decided to try them out again. They are just a food truck. You can check out their social media to see when and where they'll be. They also have an app but I have issues with it every single time. On my most recent visit I was unable to order online and had to do so from the truck which was fine but a little irritating. The individuals working the truck were nice but they were a bit unorganized-the iPad for payment was off, I was unable to get a receipt, I wasn't able to scan my app to get points, and I just had to guess/stand around for my food because they didn't seem to have a way to notify me that my order was up. I wasn't able quote five minutes and it was close to that amount of time. I like the lobster grilled cheese paired with the lobster bisque. The grilled cheese isn't huge but it is filling and they put a good amount of lobster in it. The bisque wasn't as good as I remembered it, it used to be richer and it seemed a little thinner than it was in the past. But it was still good with chunks of lobster. I've also had the lobster rolls and they are a little on the small side. They have a new lobster roll flight where you get to the all three varieties. And honestly, that's the way to go. You'll get the most bang for your buck and way more lobster than by getting just one. Overall, it's good and I like to visit them every now and then. They are on the pricey side for a food truck but it's lobster and we live in the landlocked Midwest so it is what it is. If you're wanting something different and feel like some lobster, definitely check them out.

    I hate leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately my experience was really disappointing. I drove…read moreabout 30 minutes to the Kansas City location at Westlake Ace because the hours posted on the Cousins Maine Lobster website showed 11:30 AM-7:30 PM. I arrived around 7:03 PM. At first, I went to the wrong side of the truck because I didn't see anyone. I could hear people in the back, so I went around and asked, "Hey, did you guys close early or something?" The employee responded, "We didn't close early. We close at 7," and the way it was said came across as very rude and dismissive. I explained that the website showed they were open until 7:30 PM. He told me it didn't. I even asked if there was anything I could purchase since I had driven 30 minutes based on the hours posted online, and I was told no. I completely understand that employees have a closing time and that schedules can change. My issue is that the hours posted online said 7:30 PM, and I arrived before that time. I also have a photo of the truck timestamped at 7:12 PM, so I was clearly there before the posted closing time. I would have been much more understanding if someone had simply said, "Sorry, our actual closing time is 7 PM and the website hasn't been updated," or even apologized for the confusion. Instead, I felt like I was being treated as though I was at fault for following the hours provided by the business. Unfortunately, I left without getting to try the food, and the interaction left a really bad first impression. I hope the hours are corrected so other customers don't drive out there expecting to be served, only to find out the truck has already closed.

    If you're looking for authentic Kansas City barbecue, LC's is absolutely worth the stop. It came…read morehighly recommended to us by locals, so we made it our first lunch after arriving--and we're so glad we did. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed by the owner, who is LC's granddaughter. She was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the menu, recommending the burnt ends and baked beans. Her enthusiasm for the restaurant and its history really added to the experience. Our food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. The burnt ends were packed with flavor, the baked beans were the perfect side, and the barbecue sauce tied it all together. I also enjoyed seeing the area dedicated to honoring LC and the restaurant's legacy--it gave the place a personal, family-run feel. One thing that really stood out was hearing the owner mention that she tastes the food every day to make sure the quality stays consistent. That level of care shows. Even as the restaurant filled up with customers, the food and service remained excellent. I can definitely see why this place is a local favorite, and I'd happily return the next time I'm in Kansas City.

    Ordered the mix plate: * Ribs - excellent - the best ribs…read morefrom anywhere I've had in years. * Turkey - very good (when LC was alive and hanging out in the restaurant he recommended the turkey). * Burnt ends - they were fine - moist & tender cubes of brisket, but tasted like lean flat meat, not point meat. Beans were very sweet with lots of meat. I love the gritty atmosphere - please never change it. The smoker is behind the counter and adds to the fabulous atmosphere. The smoker exhaust fan is not working as well as it used to, but that smoke adds to the great atmosphere.
