Woodyard Bar-B-Que

"The BBQ is great. I had the brisket and pork sandwich combo with fries. The cornbread muffins are fantastic. My big issue is the parking lot and the restaurant layout. Woodyard BBQ should really consider a better location with a better layout if they want more business."

"Really cool Bar-b-que place. It’s neat seeing the wood yard. Gotta have plenty of wood for smoking. It smells amazing as soon as you get out of the car. Order your food on the left side entrance. Then sit across at right side entrance. Great wood house ambiance. Get the smoked wings, they nailed it!!! You can’t go wrong with anything you get. Everything is smoked to perfection. Also grab a jalapeño cheddar muffin! Not sure why it was empty for the hour we were there, it should have been line out the door. I’ve never had brisket sliced so thin almost shaved, but flavor was great. And the ribs fall off the bone."

"The burnt end chili was VERY good. Mix of fatty and lean burnt ends. I loved their barbecue sauce too. The hot one was actually spicy. The ribs on its own doesn’t compare / I wish they cooked it a bit less. Marcus who took my order was extremely kind!! A very homey place, would come back."

"Woodyard BBQ was great as always. $20 rack of baby back was delicious. Only sad part was the brisket is usually the best in my opinion in KC, but on sat. Wasn't up to their usual. Chili style baked beans were good. Service was very nice!"

"We visited Woodyard last Friday night to attend a concert featuring local bands.  We arrived in line to order food around 7PM.  They were very busy and overwhelmed by the demand, but the crew was friendly and helpful.  I feel badly for the staff who had to work in a space without AC. Hopefully that was temporary. It took over an hour to order and receive our food.  They were out of several items. Our food was delivered in to-go containers because they were closing. The sausage was good and pretty standard for KC (7/10).  The burnt ends tasted like sauced chuck roast (2/10).  The baby back ribs were tender with a pleasant smoke level, but needed sauce for depth of flavor (6/10).  Speaking of sauce, I quite liked it.  Not too sweet or vinegary with celery seed & mild peppercorn notes.  The fries reminded me of Freddy's--which I like.  They had a reasonable selection of canned beers. Although the restaurant was closed from 8PM onward, the restaurant doors remained open for access to restrooms (1M and 1F).  During they concert a makeshift bar was setup, offering basic mixed drinks and cans of PBR and Miller Lite."
