GAS Review of R. & J. BBQ

*I liked R and J's. I had a good ham sandwich fries and beans. I thought the beans were a little sweet and I tend to like beans with more of a smoky taste. The owner was real nice. She is originally from Croatia and has been there for 14 years. She was also our waitress and she did an excellent job.. Good place.

*I will definitely return to R & J's; this is too good a place to get so little attention. The beef sandwich was very lean, moist and tasty. Good portions at a good price. I don't care for the attention paid to vinegar, however; the sauce, beans and slaw are too much influenced by it for my taste (and taste is what it is all about!) But, I shall return next time for the ribs which looked very good and meaty.

*This is great place near the track and all the new shopping in KC. It is worth the trip. Nice folks...Good food. Not a fancy place, but good food. Check it out.

*I really liked the sauce and there were more fries than I could eat. The ribs were very good, tender and meaty. The service was outstanding and the owner served the food. It was refreshingly not a chain and I would go back. We had a crowd of 14 and Dick’s Mom went so Dick and I were not the oldest persons there.

*Sauce was too vinegar-y. Fries were hot, which was good, but otherwise unremarkable. Meat itself was good even though I didn't like the sauce. Cole slaw was not good - way too vinegar-y.

*Nice BBQ outing. This was the biggest group we've had in some time. I had the Beef sandwich and a side of beans. The Brisket was very lean, moist and a nice smoke flavor. The beans were served in a decent sized bowl just the way I like it. No one teaspoon sized side order here! However, the beans were a bit on the sweet side for me. The sauce was a bit sweet also. Fries were crisp and quite hot. They had one server covering the entire operation this day and she did a great job. Nice laid back atmosphere. We should have played some Christmas music on the juke box! I'd go back again.

*There's nothing fancy about this place - but it serves up some pretty good BBQ and that's what we're all about. I had the Jayhawk sandwich with fries and beans ($7.95). The brisket was tender and there was plenty of meat on the hoagie bun. The sides were hot and good size portions (the way a side of beans should be!). I liked the sauce - not too runny and it had a "kick". We had a big group today but the waitress did a great job serving all of us.

*I had the combination plate $9.50. Cold slaw and BBQ sauce had a strong "hint" of vinegar.

*Excellent beef sandwich.
