Kansas City BBQ Restaurant Megathread! 2018 Edition.
#PLEASE NOTE!
Even if you're coming to this thread late, free to leave a review! If you have one that hasn't been covered yet (see below) let us know what you think. This thread will be added to the sidebar for future reference so don't worry about showing up late!
Inspired by this thread, I'm starting an "All-New for 2018!" BBQ megathread. The BBQ restaurant landscape changes in Kansas City frequently. Restaurants rise and fall. New places open and old places close. The purpose of this thread is to collect information and opinions about BBQ restaurants in town.
Thread Rules
If you want to review a place, submit a top level reply to this thread. Each top level post should contain the name of the restaurant, in bold, and should cover at minimum the following topics (feel free to add more):
Location / address / Google Maps link
What's good here
What's bad here
What to know before you show up
Please do not submit multiple "top level" posts for restaurants. If you disagree with a reviewer or have something to add explain why in a reply to their post. The intent of this thread isn't to declare a single winner for all space and time of "who has the best (or worst) BBQ in KC". It's just to collect information. If you have an axe to grind about someplace, explain yourself. Don't just say "this place sucks" or "this place is good". Explain why.
Also, don't submit a top level reply to this thread unless you actually like the place.
If you'd like to participate in the "worst BBQ" discussion that thread is located here.
And finally: If you're looking for a place to review that hasn't made the list here's what we have left from the 2017 KC Food Guy's BBQ Bracket:
