I had previously tried Meat Mitch's Leawood location and so I wanted to show my family the restaurant while we were waiting in the airport. It fully lived up to the other location! We ordered two dishes, The Mac Daddy and the Cheesy Hog Fries. Both were extremely delicious. The Mac Daddy had super tender, melt in your mouth burnt ends with creamy and flavorful Mac n cheese. The Cheesy Hog Fries were insanely packed with flavor, they were surprisingly sweet. The food came out almost immediately after ordering and had a bunch of sauces to try. Overall it was absolutely amazing. Only issue is the server was not familiar with the beers, which is not a big deal at all. The tables are a little too tightly packed together.

wow what a place!! Inside the MCI airport, sits this cute lil BBQ place. We decided to share a few things including the cheesy hog fries and the Mac Daddy. Both were delicious!!!!! I am not a super fan of BBQ but i was pleasantly surprised. The server did not know much about the beers on tap. Besides that, the service was quick and good. Food came out within 5 minutes of ordering. I would absolutely come back here!

Great spot in the MCI airport. My flight was delayed by an hour so I decided to try this joint. This place hit the spot. Even though it's located in the Airport, it still gave BBQ joint vibes. Only thing missing were the community tables. The waitress was super friendly and very helpful. It wasn't very busy so there wasn't a rush and I was attended to in a very timely manner. I was in the mood for a burger so I had the smash burger which was good. It was a perfect smash burger and it was very yummy. This place is definitely a keeper for my stops through KC.

Burnt ends app.

Updated review. I don't love the BBQ or the sauces here. Not great, just marginal. However, the smash burger is pretty good and the brisket chili is FANTASTIC!! Today, our server, Timothy, was super fast and efficient!!! It was a completely different experience than the last two times I was here. I hope they continue providing quick and efficient service.

Yummy tender brisket sandwich

Got a brisket Sammy before I got on my flight. I tell you what it was one of the best that I have had in awhile. I really like the buns they have there. They are very soft and kind of like buttery. Not flaky and fluffy like a cheap hamburger bun. It came with tons of brisket on it, bbq sauce and some onions I think. That brisket Sammy was awesome!!! It filled me up for my 3 hour flight. The coleslaw was amazing too. It was creamy and tasty and even had some purple onions it it that made it pop and have a spicy flavor. I got the order to go and took it to the bar just outside of the restaurant. I would definitely come back here the next time I am at MCI.

Two meat platter with sliced brisket and burnt ends, BBQ beans and fries

I was a little skeptical of eating BBQ at the airport, but the food was good. The brisket and burnt ends were not dry. The house BBQ sauce was tasty. I didn't eat much of the sides, but the beans had a unique flavor. Service was quick, as you would expect with folks needing to make their flights. Glad to have this option instead of fast food or some chain restaurant. Good job Mitch!

Fantastic selection of Kansas City barbecue without ever leaving the airport. The flavors are authentic, portions are solid, and it's a must-try if you're passing through. Perfect way to get a taste of KC before takeoff or after landing!

Airport location- Got the ribs and a cocktail. Ribs came with two sides- I chose the Cole slaw and baked beans. Was very filling and portion was generous. Satisfied my bbq craving. Service was outstanding. Julie took good care of me.

Wonderlust drink, pulled pork, brisket and jalapeño cheese sausage with stay hot and whomp sauce combo. Sides of Mac and cheese and beans
Shayne D.

Immediately greeted and sat and told who my server would be while handing me a menu. My server gave me just enough time to let me look at menu before asking my drink choice. The flow of the restaurant is open with great corner floor to ceiling windows and a view. I order the "Wanderlust" drink and I highly recommend very refreshing and great flavor. The food of choice was a three meat platter of brisket, pulled pork and jalapeño cheese sausage. Sides were Mac and cheese and beans. The sausage is fantastic!! The pulled pork was dry and needed the sauce choice from the 6 on the table brisket a little on chewy side but still would purchase again. Both the greeter and server reminded me no turkey. Overall a good experience and will repeat when at the Kansas City Airport.

I've always heard that KC had the best BBQ, so I had to try it after finding out I had a layout here. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to leave the airport, so airport BBQ would have to do. This spot was reasonably priced for an airport and the staff was very friendly. One of the servers even sat down and had a conversation with me. That's the first time that's ever happened to me . I have to admit, I don't eat a lot of BBQ but I can say for sure that these briskets were the most tender I've ever eaten. If airport BBQ is this good, I can't imagine how good the iconic KC spots will be. A must try if I ever visit again.

BBQ sauces

Want to give a shout out to JULIE! She was amazing with what she was working with. There were a few items that were unavailable, staffing was short and kitchen wasn't doing the best, but Julie was rocking it! GET THE FRIED PICKLES! They were fried perfectly and ranch was included! I got the smoked fried chicken salad and a few topping were missing; bacon and potatoe stix. The salad was pretty boring and the chicken was cold but had good breading. We also got kids burgers, beware there were jalapeños on it. Not sure why it was added on a child's meal. There was a self service draft beer station, which was pretty cool, didn't use it but awesome feature!

Meat Mitch is good and getting better. In most cases, I can never understand why restaurants don't deliver the same quality when they're inside an airport. At least with barbecue, I know some of the challenges they have to provide to the same level as the home restaurant. With Meat Mitch, it seems as if they are working out some of those issues, and each time I stop here, it's a little better, a little better, and a bit better. Pretty soon, I will be expecting perfection, and then delivering just like what I have become accustomed to. in the meantime, it's as good as you can get in the airport.

super bowl breakfast
Ciera B.

convenient, yummy, and quick service! it was one of the only food places open at the airport for our super super early flight in the morning so we ordered their super bowl. there wasn't anywhere sit in the place but ofc the airport had tons of seating elsewhere. the portion was large and shareable and the food was hot and fresh. the jalapeños might've been a bit much for that early in the morning but it was very good. hoping to try their lunch next time!

Mini side is equal to a Super side at this location! That is, the so called Super side is really a mini.

Gotta get here early. They were sold out most of their meats by 1:30 in the afternoon, which is a…read moregreat thing. Period the brisket was absolutely juicy melted in your mouth. The pulled pork was a standard pulled pork. Overall, great experience great staff made you feel welcome when you walked in the door!

I was looking for the closest BBQ restaurant, we were checking out the Rock Bridge area. I googled…read morebbq area by me and it directed me to Chef J's. We didn't have to drive too far, as it is located in the West Bottoms in the same building as The Beast(Halloween Haunted House) The restaurant is in an old building, to one side it had a wall of windows that made that seating area nice and bright. You order at the counter top, which we were greeted by a nice gentleman. We looked over the menu and he suggested the 2 meat combo which we ordered. I'm a big Ribs fan and I tell you what...these ribs were big, meaty and juicy!!! I didn't even need any bbq sauce for them. The sausage was great as well, along with the sides. I was full off of 2 ribs and my elote side. I did buy some banana pudding to go which was delicious too!!! As far as drinks go I didn't see any beer/cocktail drinks, just pop or tea. I highly recommend trying out Chef J's, I recently learned on their IG page they are putting one up in North KC that will be open 7 days a week. This location has limited hours/days.

The pulled pork was amazing. Everything was tender and tasty. The Burton stole the show. This law was OK. But who has room for slow when you have burnt ends and brisket? Treat yourself and get the three meat plate! You know you wanna do it. I was able to finish it. Inside was packed so it was quite loud. My niece said she was overstimulated but she got over it with the pulled pork sandwich and fries.

Outstanding! In every aspect…read more My Barbecue burnt ends were the best I have ever had by far, and I have been to dozens of Barbecue places all over the country. I also thought the Barbecue sauces were very good. Plus I wasn't hassled for asking for more sauce or asked to pay a up charge. Classy place ! The Barbecue beans were also off the hook. They were so meaty and delicious. I could honestly make a meal out of them. This is not a hole in the wall place that makes you feel like you went back in time. The establishment obviously takes pride in everything they do. It shows in so many ways. The place was clean and the employees were well dressed. The cooking staff management team looked like they were proud to wear their beautiful black uniform, very professional and impressive. Putting that all aside the atmosphere is very impressive. Price wise it was comparable to the other outdated dirty places. Definitely a place to bring your guests especially if they are visiting Kansas City. If I needed a catering service, hands-down, they are my first choice. I'm flying out tomorrow afternoon but work here all the time and I will certainly stop back in today to get an another taste of heavenly food.

As far as bar stops go when you're at P&L, County Road Ice House probably isn't the first one on…read morethe list. No, this is more of a sit-yourself-down kind of place, instead of being a make-your-way-to-the-bar-for-yet-another-drink kind of place. But they serve up some Joe's Kansas City BBQ, so you know they've got a reason to pull you in. Nothing says Kansas City quite like smoked meats & fabulous sauces, so get comfy & sample a Z-Man. There is plenty else on the menu, but if you're vegan or vegan-ish, then good luck or maybe have a cheat day. The BBQ is fantastic and Ice House has added their own bar & grille twists, so you have options beyond smoked meats. Seating is pretty good, and with both a wraparound bar and table service, there are plenty of options. As is the norm these days, there are screens in all directions, so you just don't miss a single moment of sportsball if that's your jam. P&L is a jammed up place when events are happening, so if you can find yourself a spot to sit and enjoy, then that's a win. County Road offers that and more, and it's only real knock is the service levels, which can be slow at busy times. But hey, if you have a seat and maybe a drink, then wait just a few extra minutes for servers to plow their way through the bar crowd. Definitely worth it for the BBQ alone.

Underwhelming BBQ. The brisket was more like subpar deli lunch meat…read more If you're in the immediate area, which is fun, this is an acceptable place to eat. If you're visiting the U.S., do not let this be your first or only taste of BBQ.
