My husband and I were visiting KC from CA and not only is this place a gem, it's some of the best BBQ I've ever had! The mac is not your typical, but holy moly, is it delicious! The mini corn muffins are also a must! The staff is very attentive and personable. One of the owners came over and chatted w/ us, which you don't normally see in restaurants - it's a nice touch. We will def. be back the next time we're in KC :) read more

A bit disappointing from what I'd expected after reading other reviews. Brisket and baked beans were the 2 best items. Corn was ok, but I wouldn't do it again. The mini cornbread muffin was very mini - maybe two bites. But the big disappointment was the burnt ends. They told us it was their specialty, but definitely the same as the "poor mans burnt ends" that I make on my home smoker using chuck roast. Meat was stringy and mushy. It was NOT their specialty... F325 Amber beer was decent. read more

F325 Bbq - Two meat plate - brisket and burnt ends. - Bars Near Me - North Kansas City, Missouri

Big thick slices of smoky brisket, big chunks of burnt ends ....make this Bbq joint stand out! To our delight they had a full bar & a good cocktail menu too. We shared the 3 meat platter of brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, steak fries & coleslaw. He ordered the rib plate with beans & Mac n cheese. The Two types of sauces is just want is needed. I loved the slaw with the apple pieces & the silky creamy Mac n cheese. My two favs were the brisket & ends. Brook our server gave us some great suggestions. She was attentive & friendly. One of the owners stopped by our table & gave us the inside scoop of their business. We can understand & agree with the high Yelp rating read more

I got there early, so I can observe the place, check out the menu and don't feel rushed when everyone else arrives. Pretty cool set up, not too many seating areas on the main floor, but there's a second floor, haven't checked it out. The food was great, a little pricy but I didn't pick up the tab, so everyone ordered whatever. The servant was really sassy and it felt like she worked there forever, so she was pretty comfortable with handling a large group of men! Yes, I would definitely come back whenever I'm back at KC. read more

F325 Bbq - Tom and delicious BBQ - Bars Near Me - North Kansas City, Missouri

Solid bbq place. I came here around 6pm on a Friday night and it wasn't as busy as I thought it'd be, but people ate fast so tables turned quickly and new people replaced them. Clientele seemed to be lots of families, older couples, younger couples... I ordered an unsweetened iced tea and burnt ends sandwich. Each sandwich comes with your choice of a side. My server Liv said the Mac n cheese was the most popular after I asked and it was delicious. She was very friendly and helpful, checking in multiple times. The sandwich was good--it didn't look large, but packed a punch. Burnt ends could've had more flavor but the meat was still good. The bar looks popping--they were playing a Jayhawks basketball game. They also have some nice outdoor seating. Cool location in north KC close to a few breweries and distilleries. read more

Nice meal. Had the rid and 2 meats(brisket and sausage) with Mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole. It was a lot of food. The meats were all good. The bbq sauces were good also. The Mac and cheese were ok, but I am a purest. The sweet potato casserole was super sweet. Think dessert. read more

Service was top notch and fast. So warm and welcoming. Great fun and enjoyable ambience. Great outdoor area with small stage for music! Now the food... absolutely delicious!!!! Tried the burnt ends, ribs, smoked turkey, brisket, and Mac n cheese, collard greens and beans. My favorite was the ribs and burnt ends. Delicious and soft and bbq sauce is so yummy. I would highly suggest folks come out to try this great family owned small business. I work for Intuit and we support small businesses like this! It was such a pleasure eating here! Wishing them lots of future business and success! read more

Wonderful place to get some really, really tasty BBQ! I got the pick two meal. So I ordered burnt ends and brisket, with sweet potato casserole and salad for sides. It comes with a mini cornbread muffin... and when they say mini, they mean it. See if you can spot it in my photo. It's super tiny. LOL They should probably serve two since they're that small. The bacon appetizer was good. I thought it could have had more brown sugar caramelization, but it was still good. All the BBQ meat was smoky, delicious, and just melted in your mouth! Just what you want and expect. I had their sweet and spicy sauce for a little dipping on the side, and it was pretty good. The sweet potato casserole was goodness in a bowl - sweet, creamy, and topped in streusel! Salad came on this tiny tray - why they serve it that impractical way, I have no idea. It wanted to fall off the tray as I tried to eat it. So, I moved it to an appetizer plate. Inside was nice, a smaller seating area. I imagine it fills up quick during meal rush peak time, or on a busy night. The server was very friendly; gave some wonderful recommendations, talking over some of the options with us to help us choose; and gave great service! Knocking off one star for the tiny corn muffin, the ill plated salad, and good but not great bacon. I'd go back though. The BBQ meat is seriously legit. read more

Very forgettable food. In a BBQ heavy city, this place does not stand out at all. Save your money and hit up another joint!

Pretty good brisket. It's not very flavorful but it's quality meat. I wish there was more of a unique flavor profile. The meat was well cooked, the location was fine, and staff was great. I would give it a 4 star rating but there is a lack of taste, but I liked the meat very much. A place you'll have to use BBQ sauce for more flavor I suppose. read more

We stopped in at F325 after a stop at rewind video dive bar and it was around 8:15pm on a Friday night. Since I'm from Texas, its not unusual for good bbq places to be out of certain items but it was a bit surprising and dissapointing those items were not listed somewhere to make you aware. We tried ordering burnt ends, pulled pork and mac and cheese and they were out of all 3 lol so we pivoted and got the kielbasa and ribs with collard greens and pickle chips and shared everything. I tried ordering a KC dunkel and they were out of that too but at that point, our waitress felt bad and comped my drink which was appreciated. The meats we had were really good as were the collard greens but the corn seemed to be missing something. They had a pretty broad bourbon selection but not a menu for it which is weird and makes it hard to order...like, I don't want to ask the waitress what the prices are for a bunch of stuff and its also hard to see what all they have if you're not at the bar. The food was pretty good, service was really good considering she had to deal with them being out of everything, and overall, not a bad experience but I feel like we need to try it again when they have most of their highly touted items. read more

We showed up around 7 on a Friday night and ordered apps, but then our server let us know the kitchen wasn't taking any new orders for 10-15 minutes. Not ideal, but okay, things happen. Then came the curveballs. No Alabama wings. No ribs. No pulled pork... but somehow they were able to sub pulled pork with ribs later? Make it make sense. What we actually ended up with: Buffalo wings: Supposed to be lightly smoked and deep-fried. Honestly? They tasted like neither. No smoke, no crisp. Just kind of there. The bacon appetizer was good. The Burnt ends: Really solid. Crispy edges, juicy inside, nice flavor--definitely the best bite of the night. Brisket: Super tender, but fell flat on flavor. Needed more seasoning or smoke. Ribs (the magical reappearance): The ribs were okay they weren't too bad. I would order them again. Jackfruit: Texture was mushy and the aftertaste was weird. Probably a skip. Greens: Big ol' leaves, but had a good kick to them. I liked these. Beans: Texas-style, smoky, peppery. The service was friendly but clearly scrambling with the kitchen running out of half the menu. The vibe of the place is cool, and you can tell they want to be a top-tier BBQ joint--but right now, the execution just isn't there. Would I come back? Maybe, but for now, F325 feels like a place still getting it together. read more

Let me tell you a story. A couple starts a competition barbecue team and wins a few awards. Then they start a food truck. And then they open a full service sit down restaurant. The happy ending is F325 BBQ in North Kansas City. One of the owners says the name isn't an accident. Most barbecue is cooked low and slow, but he cooks it hotter because he likes the flavor better. I'm not going to argue. The meat - especially the brisket - is exceptional. Sides are a-ok. Please bring your appetite because you won't go home hungry. A couple of notes: The restaurant fills up quickly, so feel free to call and reservation if you're wanting to visit during peak times - especially if you're going to have a large party. The outside patio is open Spring through Fall. Its entertainment schedule is posted on the restaurant's social medial pages. read more

Went there for lunch. It's a really nice building with a nice feel inside. Looks like lots of outdoors seating with a stage area. The service was immediate, friendly, and attentive. Got our drinks and a few minutes to glance over the menu. I went with the Stockyard and a side of beans. The stockyard is a brisket sandwich with coleslaw. I covered it in the spicy sauce. It was a good combination. The meat was tender and flavorful. The coleslaw was not overpowering. The sauce had a good kick and flavor. The beans were decent. I thought maybe a little too much...chilly powder? Not sure that is what I was tasting. My coworker had a sandwich and fries. I tried a couple of fries. I thought they had too much garlic on them. My coworker disagreed with me. Overall a thumbs up after my first visit. I will be back to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

There are many breweries in KCMO and there are many BBQeries in KCMO...but there aren't many of these 'eries that are within walking distance of each other. This is one of those exceptions! I went to F325 BBQ first, then walked a few blocks to Cinder Block Brewing. F325 served up some of the best BBQ I had in KCMO, and definitely had the least touristy vibe of the spots I (a tourist) visited. I visited pretty late so, like all good BBQ joints, they were out of a lot of stuff. (as they should be). However, the server was really great at communicating what they did and did not have. The bar area was pretty nice with a decent selection of taps, most of them local. read more

Because i grew up eating soul food like collard greens, & mac& cheese i have to give this place only 3 stars. The greens are a little more "vinegary/tangy" then needed but not too bad of an attempt.I didn't even try the mac & cheese i could tell i would t be pleased. The burnt ends are really good though I would recommend those first to non pork eaters. Also the cornbread muffins were a huge disappointment for me. You expect them to be moist and sweet like real homemade food cornbread but instead they're dry bland and have real corn pieces inside of them... Absolutely not. If y'all see this please change that on the menu respectfully. Outside of Kansas city this place might be a contender tho if they fix a few little things but don't be confused this is white peoples BBQ. Not bad tho Very nice staff too. But they're not better than any legacy black BBq chains here in KC. read more

F325 Bbq - One Meat Collard Greens Steak Fries - Bars Near Me - North Kansas City, Missouri

Grabbed bbq here for lunch with friends one weekday. We got a table right away. I was expecting an order at the counter place, but you order from a server at your table. I got the one meat platter with Mac and cheese and coleslaw based on the recommendations of our server. I loved the coleslaw. I thought the burnt ends were a little dry, and I wasn't a huge fan of the Mac and cheese. My friend got fries and they were very good. Our server brought us a sample of the turkey and it was delicious! I would order that if I went again. Service was fantastic. read more

Before giving my thoughts on this place I feel the need to tell that i am a retired BBQ Critic who has tasted the best BBQ from every region of this great country and beyond. I know BBQ......F325 being ranked in the 30's on this list is an absurdity. The ambiance of the place was exactly what I would want out of a BBQ joint. Warm and inviting, family owned and the owners were in there working their butts off on Friday night. The food was priced just right, the staff was friendly. Going into a BBQ establishment late is always a risky decision for the meat may be dried out from sitting on a slow day. The food was as moist as if we were the first customers of the day. Was it the best Ive ever had, No. But I've eaten at over 3,000+ BBQ restaurant/food trucks. This place would be top 50 on that list and should be placed in the top 3-4 in KC. Reviews are nothing more than opinions. Shares yours dont try to shape others. Give this place a shot and share your experience. read more

We took a friend who'd never been and she was super impressed. Katlyn (?sp) took very good care of us. We enjoyed the burnt end mac & cheese to start--what a fantastic intro to our lunch. Then we all had burnt ends, sausage, brisket and collard greens. She also got the corn and I added the sweet potato thing. They must add magic to those collard greens. We all 3 happily took what we couldn't eat home with us. Family owned and such a friendly local business to support. We love introducing this place to people! read more

Delicious bbq. Highly recommend the burnt ends and the sweet potato side concoction that they had. Brisket was also to notch as well. Basically can't go wrong here. read more

This is a "mom & pop shop" operation with the owners serving the food. The service was exceptional. The food was served quickly and delicious. The server and owner checked on us frequently. We couldnt ask for them to do anything differently or better. This will be a new favorite place when visiting Kansas City. read more

We drove by while in the area, and decided to stop in and try their barbecue. One of the owners served us and she was very nice and helpful and explained the menu and their sauces since we had never been there before. She continued to be excellent in her service. The restaurant is casual and comfortable and very clean. The portions are generous, and the ribs were quite meaty and large. My husband and I both got the same meal which was the rib plate entrée. This particular entrée came with two sides, and we both had the coleslaw and side salad and small corn muffin. The salad was fresh, and the coleslaw was some of the best I've ever had at any restaurant. The ribs were moist and had lots of meat on them. They have two sauces and one is more sweet, which is their traditional sauce and the other one is spicy which we did not try. We both liked their traditional sauce. She also had brought out a sample of beef burnt ends for us to try and they were very moist. I appreciated that the menu had gluten-free options. Even though some of the meat did not say gluten-free and I asked just to be safe, it was gluten-free on the ribs that I chose. The prices are typical of a barbecue restaurant. We would definitely go back! read more

I did a business lunch here and the food was not great. Burnt ends were dry and over sauced, turkey was very dry & crumbly. Sides missed as well. Collared greens were salty, with too much acidity, just not good. Beans were strange to me like they had apple sauce added. I did not take pics as there are plenty to look at. Won't be back. read more

Service was great...servers very friendly. Rib plate with two meats was enough to share. We got ribs with burnt ends and turkey. Two sides...steak fries and mac and cheese. Ribs and turkey were ok ...burnt ends a bit fatty. Steak fries were good...specialty mac and cheese was not my thing and didn't finish. Sauces on the table were "ok". Beer was cold. Fun neighborhood vibe. read more

Another BBQ spot in KC? Yup, and F325 is a success story from the drop. A former competition BBQ entrant turned restaurant mainstay, this spot in NKC is serving up some sensational smoked meats & tasty sides. Pair those smoker skills with a full bar and F325 is rocking it in the Northland. I usually judge a BBQ spot on three things: brisket, beans, and their sauce. Sure, that's not everything that a BBQ spot is known for, but if you can execute your brisket, then the game is solid. F325 delivers *outstanding* burnt ends and brisket, juicy & falling apart, with a sensational bark on the outside. When married with their signature sauce, not too sweet and not too spicy, those beef morsels are an absolute treasure! I would put their burnt ends against anyone's - they're that good. Add in that F325 has a fairly focused menu, not too broad and zeroed in on their best offerings, and you can't miss with any order. F325's sides game is coming along nicely, with their beans and mac 'n cheese leading the way. I have also sampled their whiskey sweet potatoes and those are just sensational, mashed smooth and blended with just a touch of cinnamon & sugar - sinfully good! Sides can certainly make a BBQ meal and F325 does well at making a more unique set of offerings. Parking is fairly standard for NKC, and the place holds a generous amount of diners. At one point the owner had implemented a 'Whiskey Wednesdays' on certain rotations in a month, though call first if that's your jam. These folks KNOW their BBQ and obvs put a lot of pride into their brand. Definitely worth you checking it out. read more

Total package for a Friday evening! Stumbled upon this BBQ spot and had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners. She was very personable and gave a spill of the history of F325. She recommended the three meets and two sides..., we added two sides and F325 did not disappoint. The food was delicious the pork ribs were flavorful and the Burnt Ends and turkey was moist and tender. The sides were selected were coleslaw, collard greens, and sweet potato casserole and Mac & cheese. Delicious!!!! We topped it off with a margarita and corona. The Ambiance was inviting and perfect for a date night or girls night. read more

Strange for a BBQ spot in that the meat looks amazing and tender from photos, but didn't have a whole lot of flavor. It falls apart nicely, as if it's made in a slow-cooker -- just very little smokiness or depth even with the bark, so I had to add a good amount of sauce. I was a little disappointed in the service too -- they seemed to be chatting up locals at the bar quite a bit but were a little brusque when I ordered or asked questions. read more

BEST BURNT ENDS AND TURKEY IN THE METRO....hands down! Stopped in while passing through NKC. Had a GREAT experience last month when I was through there and tried it for the first time so definitely wanted to get more. I ordered a slab of ribs, the three meat plate with Burnt Ends, turkey and brisket, the smoked turkey club sandwich , fried pickles, sweet potato casserole, baked beans, and french fries.. This is for me to feast upon all day long, (yeah I'm chubby and definitely go all in for good BBQ). I was their first customer in at 11 o'clock and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. I made my order and then had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, James. He's a very cool guy with a competition barbecue background. He definitely knows what he is doing! My order came out and I navigated through the nightmarish midday I35 traffic to my house. Good God this is consistently good stuff. Normally, I would think a restaurant wants to get rid of the leftover "yesterday's "food they didn't sell as soon as possible like on the next shift. Well, I don't know if that occurs here or not but, if it did then it's a testament to their cooking because the food was fresh, juicy, and tasted like it just came off the smoker. I had not had the smoked turkey club before so I ordered it. It was very, very good! I took bites of the burnt ends, french fries, turkey and sweet potato casserole and will leave the rest to feast on in a few more hours and throughout the evening while sipping on some incredible bourbon. This place definitely deserves more credit and attention than it is given. I would really love to see one of these open up out here in Johnson County as we need more than what's here. It would really up the game in the barbecue market here. Oh.... They have a pretty good bourbon selection too. I did not partake though as 11 AM is a bit early for me. DONT PASS THIS PLACE UP!

The meats have wonderful flavor. The fries were a little over seasoned. The mac and cheese might disappoint some based on portion size. Their bbq sauce, I didn't care for at all. Don't let that stop you though as we all have different tastes. Didn't need the sauce as the meat alone was that good. Waitress asked if we had questions and checked back often. Food was out in a decent amount of time for a Saturday night. The place has quite a bit of seating with both tables and booths, but I can still see them maxed at lunch and dinner rush. They take reservations but when you get there it says seat yourself so not sure how or why they have online reservations. read more

Great little bbq joint with a great bar and very personable bartender (Caleb). Caleb was kind enough to chat with me for a while to tell me little bit of the history behind the F325 and his unique selection of liquor. Make sure to ask him about his 8 shot flight specials. During my visit he had selected Irish whiskies but from what I gather things change daily and often include bourbons or other selections. Food here is good. I got three meat plate with ribs, burnt ends and sliced brisket. The plate came with couple sides and a small cornbread muffin. Portions are a good size and the food tastes great. Stop by to check out this laid back bar / bbq restaurant and enjoy casual dining with full service. read more

Charged me $25 for pork ribs that were just $15 a about 3 years ago. When I bought up the fact that menus on both Google and yelp show the lower price bartender initially denied the price had ever been $15. Then when I showed him the menus he blamed inflation and refused to honor it. I don't know about you but my salary hasn't gone up 40%. Gave him the feedback that they should at least write "price subject to change" on the menu and he argued would me. Finally, side salad was served on a flat plate instead of a bowl so it paltry and small. Gave me a hard time when I asked for more. Bowl in picture is the new bowl after I my request. read more

We came here to eat some bbq on a Saturday night. Parking can be tough in this area, but's there's definitely a lot going on this area. We were able to get seated right away and didn't have to wait too long for our food. The staff was very friendly the food for the most part was pretty good as well. My wife ordered their two meat plate with brisket and Burnt ends with a side of bbq beans and fries. I went with their rib plate with burnt ends and ordered mine with a side of Mac and cheese and their Whiskey Sweet Potato casserole. The food was really delicious, it just unfortunately came out lukewarm. I would have preferred the meat to have come out a little warmer. The burnt ends were not as tender and really fatty, but still tasted pretty delicious. The ribs were seasoned perfectly and very tender. The side were ok, with the sweet potato casserole being my favorite. I really liked the sweet crunchy topping and the hint of whiskey. Would order this again and again. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with our meal. I would definitely come again, but would try come other bbq joints before returning. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening after going to two other restaurants that were full. This place was also busy, but we were able to get a table for three right away. I got the brisket with Mac n cheese, steak fries, and a little ballmof cheese bread. The brisket was great, nice and juicy with thick pieces. The fried were kind of bland. The mac and cheese was good, but came in such small portions. The bbq itself was great tho. read more

I'd never heard of this restaurant and tried it on the basis of a review of "Top recommended BBQ restaurants" from a list (which I don't remember). The decor was modern and had a moderately upscale vibe. Food was tasty (had the two meat platter shared between two people). Although the price was a bit high for a BBQ restaurant, it's probably not out of line for the decor, and fortunately two of us could share one meal. The mini corn muffins were the least impressive part of the meal and I would definitely not suggest ordering a full appetizer order of it. Brisket and burnt ends were great choices for the two meat platter, but be warned that the burnt ends come with a $4 up charge. read more

F325 was incredibly welcoming and had a great ambiance! They have a cute indoor and outdoor seating area. The outdoor seating has a stage for performances as well. They mentioned live music on Fridays and Saturdays! One of the highlights was that they had gender neutral restrooms stocked with anything a person would need. Very accessible and helpful to all! Now the food was incredible! Bbq is subjective and I hear that, but I'm telling you these meats were made with love and care. If you like to eat your bbq without sauce you can definitely do that and these meats sing with flavor! However, they also have really good bbq sauces if you're a saucy human like myself. The sides were also incredible! I usually find it's one or the other but all of the food sang together perfectly. That Mac n cheese and collared greens is something g you must try. Flavor packed and tasty pairings!!! One of the owners came over to check on us and was so kind and personable. The staff really took care of us and the food came out at a great pace. Great pricing for top notch bbq too! You've got to try this place and bring some friends with you! read more
