Rosedale Bar-B-Q 600 Southwest Boulevard, Kansas City, KS 66103

"I hadn’t been here for a few years. The smells are heavenly and the food is still outstanding. They have classed the place up a bit but still has that Rosedale charm. Love the “dog” options!"

"Decided to give this place a try for the first time. I got the pulled chicken platter with fries, Mac & cheese and what the menu said was a cheesy baked potato. I was actually really disappointed with my entire meal. The meat was pretty dried out and didn't have a lot flavor other than some spicy BBQ squirted on top. The Mac & cheese was extremely disappointing! Flavorless, definitely not enough cheese and just not at all enjoyable. Also the "cheesy baked potato", was actually just a big scoop of potato chunks, bacon and some cheese sauce stuff all stirred up. Definitely not at all good and had almost a rubbery taste. Over all, I won't be going here again and it was definitely not worth the money I spent on everything."

"The only time I visited Rosedale Bar-B-Q was back in late April 2021. Me and my family went to Rosedale when one of our friends of our family came to visit us in Kansas City. Rosedale Bar-B-Q is meant as one of the finest barbecue restaurants in the United States of America that has been around for over 70 years. When Rosedale first opened, it was founded by Anthony and Alda Rieke along with Tony Sielman in 1934 and the place was originally a neighborhood hot dog and beer stand known as "The Bucket Shop." At the Bucket Shop customers could buy a half-gallon bucket full of the coldest beer in Kansas City, Kansas for a quarter. Customers at Rosedale Bar-B-Q claim that the business of the restaurant is the value, service and continuous tradition over the years that keeps them returning to the restaurant for more delicious barbecue. Today, Rosedale Barbecue is Kansas City's oldest major barbecue restaurant continuously owned and operated by the same family and their newer and still alive family members. Rosedale Bar-B-Q has been recognized by The New Yorker, Midwest Living, Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Saveur, Chili Pepper, Cowboys & Indians, The Travel Channel, Kansas City Public Television, and many others have written about the long-running Kansas City barbeque institution. The menu at Rosedale Bar-B-Q is known for every meat and food that a typical barbecue restaurant always and is most likely to serve. Foods served at Rosedale include slabs or pork spare ribs, barbecue sandwiches, meats by the pound, barbecue dinner plates, side dishes, and of course barbecue sauces and barbecue rubs. Rosedale Bar-B-Q’s version of barbecue sauce is a spicy, mildly hot family recipe that compliments the meat to perfection. Many restaurants serve a "smokey-style" flavored sauce but Mr. Rieke always believed the smoked flavor should be in the meat, not artificially put into the sauce. When I visited Rosedale Bar-B-Que, I ate a combo plate with two BBQ meats served along with 3 side dishes. In my opinion, I personally thought that the meats I ordered were cooked right to taste good, but I kind of thought Rosedale’s barbecue sauce was a little too spicy for my mouth. On the other hand, the 3 side dishes I ordered tasted right as well as the other things. Rosedale Bar-B-Q had some good service that takes to be a superbly successful barbecue restaurant. The restaurant of Rosedale Bar-B-Q today is still a bar as well because it serves beer. If customers or barbecue lovers are curious about which places are considered the “longest-running” barbecue restaurants in Kansas City for some Kansas City-style barbecue, I would recommend that they visit Rosedale Bar-B-Q. The restaurant of Rosedale Bar-B-Q itself has been around for a very long time as a barbecue restaurant and bar because they are always successful in making their customers happy and satisfied whenever they visit."
