How is it possible that I'm the first Yelper to make it here? Well, since I came to Yelp! looking…read morefor recs, guess I'll try a bit of everything to help out others. From the outside, Long Barbecue Company looks exactly how you'd expect an old school KC BBQ joint to look. Inside, it's very charming. It just feels like a small town restaurant. It's clear that all the servers are local high school and college students. But the service and attentiveness could not be better! They have three sauces - a regular, a spicy, and a fry sauce. All are runny and all have good flavor. I don't consider the spicy to be that hot at all. It was my favorite of the three sauces. I did try almost everything. The pork ribs and beef burnt ends (my usual favorites) were just ok. Both were incredibly lean cuts and served dry style. The brisket, Turkey, and jalapeño sausage were all good. The sausage is clearly house made and has a nice flavor. They brag on their brisket which is lovely and would be nice on a sandwich. The pulled pork is exceptional. Some of the better pulled pork in town. Great flavor. Right moisture. Good smoky flavor. Just wonderful. As for the sides, the beans were really good and has nice chunks of brisket throughout. The slaw is wonderful. Fresh, crunchy, and would be great on a sandwich (maybe the pulled pork and slaw?). The white cheddar Mac is thick, cheesy. And everything you want a Mac to be. The Hot Mess Fries were amazing! Covered with their chopped meat (a signature mix of ham bits, brisket bits, and pulled pork scraps) and yellow cheese sauce. This side is a meal in itself. Personally, I'd recommend the chopped meat sandwich or pulled pork and slaw sandwich with a side of white cheddar Mac. Of course, the Hot Mess Fries are a great choice as well. This is a solid example of KC barbeque that has their own signature items they do well. They get an entire extra star for the wonderful service! Would always stop here when in Pleasant Hill.

We went in one side but ended up sitting on the other side (where the ice cream is). Mom ordered…read moreP.hilly sandwich and I got Ritas Nachos. Honestly, for the size of the nachos, we should have just shared them because it was a lot of food. There were some flies around, which I know is kind of one of those things from doors opening and closing. Our service kind of dropped off later in the meal but not that we needed a lot. I just sometimes get annoyed when you're ready to leave and they stop coming by to get you paid out, etc.

We ordered two Old Fashioneds: one with the house bourbon and one with Woodford Reserve. The house bourbon was served in the proper glass with a nice presentation, while the Woodford came in a dirty, cheap-looking glass. The difference felt petty and unnecessary. Great food, but the inconsistency took away from an otherwise excellent experience.

The brisket sandwich was lean and amazing, the fries and the mac and cheese was absolutely perfect. The owners came out personally and brought us their ribs to try along with their grandma's recipe pasta salad -- both excellent. The char on those ribs was spot on, perfect consistency in every bite. That kind of hospitality is rare and really sets this place apart. Fair warning on the photo -- it is not great because we ate everything so fast! That should tell you everything you need to know.

As transplants from another state, and BBQ not being our first language, we wanted to try new things! They came to the table and we were all sort of perplexed. Were they supposed to look like...that? Either way, we dug in. They were cold in the middle, also a strange discovery to us. I ordered the burnt ends, which came to the table closer to cold than warm. The blue cheese potato salad was tasty and all it needed was a lil salt and pepper to make it perfect. All was going well, until my husband was about 4-5 bites into his brisket wrap. He asked me to smell it, and I did. It was funky! Smelled a lot like a foot and not a lot like a tortilla. He asked the server to smell it and they agreed it was a bit odd. The manager came over and denied it smelling like anything. My husband had finished his meal, and we weren't looking for a freebie but wanted to let them know it was a lil weird. Instead of acknowledging the potential issue, we were dismissed as "wrong." It just didn't sit right with me. My husband had some definite issues in the hour or two after eating, so we won't be back. I won't say it was food poisoning because genuinely it could have just not agreed with my husband. I'll put my disclaimer on here, I hope people do enjoy and continue to patronize this small business, it's just not to my liking.

Barbecue and a brewery?…read more Yes please. I've only visited for brunch, so that's what I'll write about. The menu has a few familiar faces - Eggs Benedicts, biscuits and gravy, breakfast sandwiches, chicken and waffles and more. I liked the biscuits and gravy, but I absolutely loved the Burnt Ends Eggs Benedict. The beers are solid and feature something for everybody. I wish they offered an extra seasonal, but I understand a brewing schedule that features quick moving draughts. A small note - please watch your check. Some of the prices in the computer don't match with the menu. The staff - who were awesome - were also apologetic and moved to make corrections when notified.

Like another iconic joint in the metro, this one is a former gas station. The brisket at that place is a little bit better. However, everything else that I tried here is spectacular. The sliced brisket was just a little dry. It wasn't bad. The sausage was amazing. It is housemade with green onions and incredible. I generally don't care for sausages that are different, but this one is exceptional and everyone at the table tried it and loved it. The pulled pork was fresh, which is super important and delicious! Wonderful smoky flavor and super tender. They know exactly what they're doing with pork. I'm gonna say that the beans here are the best in the metro. I'm very particular and I don't like beans that are too sweet like Slaps. Those gag me. The Filling Station beans are absolute perfection. Other reviews say the same. The creamy coleslaw was wonderful! My wife put it on her pulled pork sandwich and I had a little bit for dessert because it's sweet. The homemade potato salad was also the best I've had in a long time. We can't wait to return!

I'm left wondering... were we in…read morea parallel universe or something‽‽‽ We stopped in after an appointment I'd had on a Monday in Lees Summit. We decided to have a quick early dinner here in town, and did a Yelp search for "great places to eat near me". This place was high in the list. We read the reviews and found ourselves driving around a building that had ZERO markings for the Burn Theory Fire Kitchen on it, but our Maps app said we were here. Turned out, the food for Burn Theory Fire Kitchen was cooked in a food truck in a parking lot and served inside the Diametric Brewing Company which is located at the address listed for Burn Theory Fire Kitchen. I will say, my husband ordered a special beer called "Cherry Street Wheat" and it was very unusual, and seriously tasty!!! I'm not a beer fan, but would drink one of these any day! So, getting back to the food... we'd both ordered a trio of street tacos that we did a mix and match of with their various proteins. We ordered this way to share with each other. We also love to discover new and unusual bites. After reading the reviews and their menu, we were excited for the promise of something uniquely delicious... and were completely disappointed!!! All but one (excluding the shrimp) of the six different tacos we'd ordered, bordered on the inedible side. The proteins were seemingly overcooked, folded into little leathery tortilla shells, and served to our table cold, dry and tough. They tasted as if they had been reheated from the weekends leftovers. Maybe we came on the wrong day. Perhaps if we'd visited on a weekend, or on the same day they were actually cooking the meats initially, we'd had a better experience. I don't know, and frankly do not plan to find out. Additionally, to be fair, their condiments (ie: the Ketchup and BBQ sauce) seemed to be made fresh and made from scratch. They were sadly the best part of our meal. Honorable mention to the Diametric Brewing Company which served us one of the most delicious and unique beers we've ever tasted!
