Smokehouse Barbecue - Kansas City, MO (Zona Rosa)

"In town for a few night, found this location. Wasn’t that bad but not the greatest. The fried pickles were good but a bit salty. The three meat plate was average. Pulled pork was good. Brisket was good, cut thin and moist. sausage was sliced like thin strips, looked like ham at first. The rib meat sandwich was okay. Overall not bad. Service was very good."

"We had a great dinner, two meat plates for each of us. I had brisket and turkey, wifey had turkey and ham, all three excellent. The baked beans and corn sides were excellent as well. Our server took good care of us as well. Happy to have been here, and had dinner."

"Was expecting more. Not exactly a true KC BBQ experience. Server & manager seemed irritated with our need for allergen ingredient information; or maybe something happened prior to our arrival bc the manager also dropped the F-bomb within earshot of our 10 & 12 yrs old kids and adjusted himself while in conversation with a server. 4 out of 6 silverware sets had food pieces still stuck to the spoon/fork. Meat portions were small for the cost. For $12 the burnt ends were tasty but barely filled half the small plate; I've spent less and gotten more at many other BBQ restaurants. The $14 nachos seemed to be a good choice to split: the menu said tortilla chips, nacho cheese, shredded pork, sour cream and chives, but came out with chips, thinned Queso Blanco that cooled quickly and hardened, sour cream, chives (ordered on side), jalapenos, and a very small amount of shredded pork - it didn't look very appetizing. Thankfully the nachos were comped. The Bahama Mama drink, Kids cheeseburger and fries were well-received."

"I ordered the Burnt Ends Platter. The price was $15.95 for lunch. It included, Brisket Burnt Ends, Sausage, Cheesy Corn and lightly toasted white bread. The sausage was good, but not exceptional. The temperature of the sausage needed to be a little warmer. Portion size was generous. 7 chunks of sausage and 5 large chunks of burnt ends. The Burnt Ends were all meat. What  little fat that was on them was completely rendered and not fatty. Good flavor. Perfect texture. Cheesy corn was great. Buttery, cheesy and a little to perfectly creamy. The original sauce is excellent. The hot sauce was even better. Just what you think of for KC BBQ sauce. Very satisfying meal. Plenty of food and good quality."

"Good choice for BBQ. Overall very happy with the food, had some issues getting some of the right food to the table but when we did get the food it was good. Did the platter with the Chicken, brisket burnt ends, and the pork ribs. Chicken was very well prepared and held the good smokey flavor. The short ribs seemed to be a bit dry but the baby back ribs were fantastic. The Brisket burnt ends tied it together really well. Had a side of baked potato and the Mac and cheese. Always love some good Mac and cheese and didn't disappoint. The baked potato was good just hoped for more topping options. I would go back to try out their seafood selections and see how their steaks are."
