Woodyard Bar-B-Que

As a Kansas City native, Woodyard is one of my favorite BBQ restaurants when it comes to food. I hope management reads my review and takes it in consideration of what can improve. I have always considered Woodyard to be an underrated BBQ place in KC. I enjoy their Carolina style pulled pork sandwiches with fries and their delicious cornbread muffins. I’m glad Woodyard finally started giving customers numbers when their food is ready instead of asking customers for their names. That was a modest improvement. Im disappointed that Woodyard no longer offers fountain drinks for dining in but instead provides overpriced, canned pop. I hope this is only temporary otherwise I will be stopping at Quiktrip before I eat here going forward for drinks. My biggest criticism and probably why Woodyard do

I wish I could give it 5 stars because the overall experience was great. However, the brisket was mediocre. It wasn't that warm and lacked that nice, smoky flavor. The wings and the ribs were some of the best Ive ever had and the cheesy corn mixed with some hot barbecue sauce was exceptional! Id go back and maybe on a different day the brisket would be better.

In town for my birthday and we asked around for recommendations on the best BBQ in KC. We are from St. Louis which also has a very proud BBQ scene, so we were looking to critique and enjoy! The ambiance and the staff are great. Bad flys outside, but not sure if there is much that can be done about that? It's next to a busy street, so it's can be loud. We had almost all the meat and side options. It was fine. Wasn't bad at all, but I'm shocked at all the recommendations. Not sorry to have tried it.

I haven't been here in forever. Saw a tick tock video lately where it said the original owner took it back so I figured I would give it another try. Only difference is that they have definitely clean the place up but the food is still not good with the exception of the ribs. The ribs were amazing everything else terrible. Took one bite of the smoked chicken wings I had to spit it out. Ate one of the burnt ends and could barely swallow it. Ended up throwing the burnt ends and the wings away. Like I already said, the ribs were amazing. Really really good. Big improvement from what they were but everything else was a big disappointment. I doubt I will go back. Lots of barbecue places out there. I would recommend you not choose this one

It’s like going to a friend’s house that grew into a barbecue joint. Which it is. Best ribs in the city. Just the right hold on the bone. Added an order of shoestring fries. Got a spicy local Ginger Gale beer, a perfect match to the sauce.
