*Joe's (South)
did not disappoint. This is a great new location for those of us in
southern Johnson County and I'll be back many times. The
Z-Man sandwich, fries and beans were all great. And I was impressed
by the quick service at the busy lunch time.
*I
had pulled pork which tasted awesome but I asked for it on white and I
got very little meat.
*I am ashamed
to say this was my first trip to Oklahoma Joe's. Never having
eaten at "the little place in the gas-station" before, I came
with high expectations. For me, the experience left me with
the same feeling you get after seeing a much-hyped summer block-buster
movie that you've been waiting several months to see. I know it
was good, real good in fact, but I'm left feeling empty (metaphorically)
inside- like I was somehow let down. Enough about
"feelings" though, how was everything? The atmosphere
was about as BBQ as you can get in suburban Olathe. The service
was outstanding. There was a large line when we arrived and
yet I ordered and received my food very efficiently. The price was
good but not great for a sandwich and one side lunch deal- no
complaints there. I had the Oklahoma Joe's specialty, pulled pork
sandwich on wheat with a side of beans. The beans for me were not
bad, but different than what I like in beans. What I mean is the
quality was good, I could tell the taste was appealing, but they are trying
to go for a unique flavor that I just don't like in beans- call me a
traditionalist. The sandwich meat was excellent, moist, tender,
plentiful- but like many things in life, my pre-formed notions and
expectations hindered my ability to simply experience the sandwich at a
perceptual, real level. So in conclusion, writing a sentence
I never thought I would for a GAS review, try not to let one
of the fundamental flaws of the human existence according to Buddhist
metaphysical beliefs impact your enjoyment of this wonderful BBQ joint.
*The pulled
pork is, as always, excellent. I am not crazy about black beans in
the BBQ beans, but, then, I am not crazy about black beans, period.
Next time I will try the brisquet, and there will surely be a next time.
*Love the
"Z Man" sandwich and glad that OK Joe's is right down the
street so I can indulge more often. Terrific, tender
brisket adn great side of slaw. They kept the counter
service, but I miss the gas pumps and convenience store atmosphere of
the original location. Still worth battling the traffic on
Strange Line Road to eat there.
*It's great to
have Oklahoma Joes in Olathe. The food was just as good as their
original location and the service was quick. My brisket sandwich
was lean and flavorful. The fries are fabulous with a special
seasoning. Dick even traded me some fries for a few beans.
This place was hoppin' and the wait staff was very attentive. It's
so close to JCCC that it's a new/old favorite.
*Wonderful
food, good price, great location - nice and clean, but not too
"Johnson County" for atmosphere. The Z-Man sandwich is tasty,
filling and unique.
*I had the one
half chicken and one side for $ 6.75 which was a very
good value. I do not get chicken often but there chicken is very
good. I have been there once before and it is worth the trip and so
much closer than the original.
*Very good
sauce. The pork sandwich was excellent.
*OK Joe's is
probably the closest thing to being a 10 as there is in KC. It's
the best BBQ in town. Listen to me now and believe me later. The
Pulled Pork is everything you look for in Pulled Pork. Actually, you
have to look for Pulled Pork in KC as not many places offer it. The
fries are world class. Cooked to perfection with the skins and served in
a heaping bag. Enough for two. I really like the beans - great flavor
and decent sized portions. The service at OK Joe's is THE model to
serve BBQ. You order at the counter and bring your food to the table.
Self serve drinks. NIce atmosphere and much better than their
original location. Ok, so it is missing the convenience store and liquor
store but the new one is near the Tractor Supply Company. This
place looks to be a Gold Mine. Olathe now has a serious contender
in the KC BBQ market.
*What can I
say? It is simply Kansas City's best, day in day out, up and down
the entire menu. There is none better. This new place
brought all the best to Olathe and expanded to make more seating.
Ribs were the best I have had in quite awhile. |
