Delano Barbeque Company 710 West Douglas Avenue, Wichita, KS 67203

"The meat on my sandwich was very dry, my wife and daughter got the loaded mac & cheese and both dishes were literally room temperature as were the french fries that came with my son's burger. Definitely not fresh food. Aleast the BBQ sauce had a decent flavor."

"Came here a while back with my family and it was good, but wasn’t the most memorable experience. Decided to try it again this week and the service was phenomenal. The restaurant was clean and the music was good which created a nice atmosphere. Alan helped take our order and brought us out food — he was fantastic. He was so kind in helping us decide what to order and threw in some extra sides with our meals. Overall it was an awesome experience and I will be a repeat customer!"

"The barbecue spot of Delano, on Douglas Street. Unfortunately, DBC has taken a major step backwards as of late, and my last few carryout meals have been disappointing compared to what I once was served here. Sliced brisket is no longer available and it now only comes in shavings. A couple of times now I’ve been sent home with a low quality beef in small shreds, one time in which it was loaded with gristle and was inedible. This last meal I picked up was just beef shavings off of the cutting board. The other meat selection was Smokey Joe beef, the only brisket that should be served chopped, and it was discolored and dried out. This is a truly discouraging change in the food at a Wichita treasure. I’ve noticed a few changes around the restaurant as well but thankfully the Wichita decor still remains inside and out, because that has always been the charm of dining here. Even before the downgrade of food, service here has been challenging, and it’s only worsened lately with every employee in the building being a disinterested teen, and that lack of leadership is reflected in the quality of food and service. I might recommend a visit here to locals but only for fast-food quality BBQ."

"I have driven by this place so many times, and I wonder why it took so long for me to come in. The food was amazing, I felt like starving dog trying to get that meat between the bones on them ribs. I'm not ashamed either, this is the place to grab a Quick bite. The service was quick and the food hadn't been sitting around waiting on me. It was fresh and fire. Don't do what I did and keep on driving by. Try them out."

"Super good food! Workers were so nice and the guy who gave me my food even gave me an extra Mac and cheese! Super close to my work so didn't have to drive, and very lively and uplifting atmosphere. They give you way more meat than they do at hog wild, but the price is about the same more or less. Definitely recommend this place."
