Been going ever since the first location opened. Same great food..same great staff! Parking can be a touch more challenging than at was at the 44th drive location.. but a few quick turns around the block usually net you a parking space in reasonable time. Beer selection was better at 44th dr also but there is always 4 beer selection of well known brands and 4 from local breweries.

Great Burnt Ends! Loved the sweet Corn Bread too! Mac and Cheese was ok, not the best I’ve ever had but still good. Was in town during the Chiefs Playoffs and got to come watch the game here! It was packed in the best way! Was a little bummed they didn’t have Quirks (it’s a KC thing) but they did have 1 Boulevard option.

Really good BBQ place, perfect for a group gathering. Ordered a bunch of meats and some are definitely better than others. Firstly the pork ribs and ribs tips are the best, brisket is good as well. Ordered pulled pork but got burnt ends which were just okay. Mac and cheese was okay and the coleslaw was very good. The fact is that the BBQ sauce is so good that it will make everything taste great. Overall nice place with a good service.
