An instant classic, especially for BBQ lovers. Joe's has an amazing selection of BBQ dishes and…read moresome surprisingly good sides as well. There are a few important things to remember, the first being that you better get there before 530pm during dinner. Limited seating, massively popular, plan accordingly. The food is definitely worth coming for. The brisket and burnt ends are my favorite, but the sausage and pulled pork are also really good. For sides, I would recommend the BBQ beans, jalapeño corn or even the fries. I think the atmosphere of being attached to a gas station adds something to the nostalgia, but the staff is the real star of the show. Everyone is super friendly and they really push people through. We love it here, and will be back again for sure.

They had our order ready when we arrived. Ordering online was easy! I've gotten the salad which comes with ham and Turkey - $13. I added some brisket for an extra $3 making my salad $16. It was good and I got a large portion of meats. This will probably sound like a weird complaint but the turkey tasted very strong. It almost overpowered everything else in the salad. I usually like turkey but this was borderline for me. Everything else was very good. I think we will be back for the rib special!

I ordered the pork ribs and my daughter had the burnt ends. Everything was incredible! The burnt ends are other worldly. The service was also first class.

We always go to Jacks Stacks for dinners when family is in town. This was my first time going to…read morethe Lenexa location and I was not impressed at all. The servers were great- so very kind and even told us not to tip due to the world cup percentage being added. The new restaurant was very sharp and spacious in the layout. But the only thing it had going for it was the server and the space. The food was brought out quickly but was not of good quality. My brisket was 75% all fat. It was gross. My 90yr old grandmother ordered their Crown Prime Beef rib for 38.00. It was literally all fat. The very few pieces of meat on it was very tender and soft, but she took two bites of it and could not eat anymore. My husband got the pulled pork and it was so dry. The best thing that we ate was our salmon dip appetizer. Other than that I was highly disappointed in the quality of the meat. I spent too much money just to eat nothing but fat. Very poor quality and not sure that I will be returning.

Went with my brother to a Point & Flat (P&F) popup at Discourse Brewing on Wednesday night. We…read morehad brisket, Chicken wings, pork belly burnt ends and potato salad. All very, very good. Brisket was unwrapped near our table and was dripping juices - spice rub and doneness was right on. The meat was so tender and flavorful that I didn't really need P&F's BBQ Sauce- which was also very good and a bit different from traditional KC style sauce. Pork Burnt ends aren't my favorite but these were tasty, very well spiced and were complimented well by the P&F sauce. While I thought the brisket was the star of the show, the smoked and fried chicken wings were a close second to the brisket and seemed very popular with the crowd at Discourse. When chicken is smoked well, it carries the smoky taste throughout tender and juicy meat and these were smoked well. Can't forget Discourse Brewing, I tried their Used 8 track Dortmunder Lager. I like German style lagers and pilsners and this choice well complimented P&Fs BBQ. Before finishing for the evening I had a Platinum Label "I'm a Dinosaur" Helles - it was light and not too hoppy. I'd have both again. Wednesday is Trivia Night at Discourse and while I didn't stay for it, the place was packed an hour before trivia started. All in all a great evening. If you like BBQ, Beer or trivia or want to hit a trifecta - try Discourse Brewing on a Wednesday night!

It's is an up charge of $7.50 for a scrawny little rib and they don't disclose this when they ask you if you would like one. It's also .50 cents for pickles.

Roscoe's is a hidden jem. It is a family run business passed from father to son. Everything here is awesome. They are only open during the week, M-F, from 11 am - 6 pm, that is the only negative I can think of. Prices are reasonable, service is awesome and you need to try Roscoe's.

I had been here before but it had been a long time. I remember it being better…read more I got a slab of ribs and a pint of baked beans to go for $40. I live 6 miles from the restaurant. First let's talk about those beans. 1. The beans are thick which I like. 2. I think they must use hoisin in them. To me they have an Asian flavor. I was hoping for something smokier and not so sweet. 3. There are nice chunks of meat in the beans. 4. They are missing something. Maybe some kick to go with the sweet and tang. Or maybe a bell pepper to add some complexity. Definitely need to cut down on whatever is making them taste so weirdly sweet. Let's get into the ribs. Let me say first that I prefer beef over pork. I didn't realize they were pork or packed in styrofoam until I got home. They were kinda cold. The ribs were tender and not overly sauced. There was not much fat. The sauce is sweet and rather thin. They do not have pickles. Maybe a pickle would have made it better for me. Overall I found everything overly sweet. I would have liked something salty (did someone say pickle?) My boyfriend liked the ribs and thought the beans were pretty good. For me, it was all meh. Since I'm the hunter and gatherer in our little family, I doubt we will be back.
