816-283-0880 | | | | | Description: DOWNTOWN. Despite seating just 18 people, this tiny BBQ joint has a massive following. It's no secret why brisket sandwiches are renowned for their size and flavor, and the ribs, dry-rubbed before smoking, enjoy a strong reputation as well. Sides include heaping helpings of slaw and pasta salad the absence of a deep fryer (and thus onion rings and fries) doesn't seem to bother anyone. Dessert is also limited to a few delicious choices, most notably thick fudge brownies. Show up before the noontime rush if possible.
