Have great service!! I highly disagree! I don't think we are talking about the same place here because Kansas City BBQ was my all time favorite restaurant..before it burned down :( They have always had great service and their BBQ sauce is the best you can get anywhere along with their specially cooked onions rings! So, I don't know what that other person was talking about because to me, it gets 5 stars. (or more if that was possible)

Nice location Id recommend the pork sandwich and the onion rings as a side. i think its like 6 bucks but lots of homemade rings and pork sandwich is tender lean shredded meat. nice location for sitting outside and eating or drinking. has outdoor smoking section. hang your bra on the fan in the bar

Impressed with the remodel!! It looks like a big upgrade at least as far as the food is concerned. I had the pulled pork and brisket combo with onion rings and beans. They said they upgraded from sliced pork to pulled pork and sliced beef to a brisket. It is much improved and tasted great. The rings and beans were good as always. It looks like there are some little things left to finish but I was very impressed with the remodel. It even smells cleaner and when I went to the restroom...WOW they upgraded that as well. I will s... read more

Gotta love it! if you are a meat eater and a beer drinker, this might be the place for you. Actually, if you want to be downtown, but stay away from the hussle and bustle of the city's bars (not to mention all the people only concerned about hooking up with someone and looking pretty), you should go to KC Barbeque. I mean, come on: the nostalgia of Top Gun, one of them fancy internet juke boxes, some chicken wings and cheap beer. Gotta love it. Jeanna‎

Great BBQ I felt that KC's offered a great menu and good service. The food was great and the service was fantastic. I would definitely recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal and menu for even the pickiest of eaters. Bring the whole family and they will all be satisfied and full. From Zach.‎

Great Company!! 1)Great place. even on a Sunday afternoon, but we're from Louisiana so anything goes!! We sat at the bar (ate and drank), and the bartender was fabulous. Dave was his name. Great sport, great company, great service. We were in San Diego at a dental convention, and would go back in a heartbeat. We'll actually send a picture and bumper sticker to go with your decor!! Keep on keep in on!!”
