Verbatim Comments:

*What a great place to eat wonderful BBQ.  It is easy to drive by and not see the site because a tree is hiding the sign.  The atmosphere is very clean and though there is a large number of trophies and ribbons won by the group, it is tastefully displayed and non-cluttered. Get directions before you leave because it does not take long to get there, even from Johnson County, if you know where you are going.  The pulled pork and brisket sandwich was excellent as well as both of their sauces.  Even the hot sauce is tolerable to those that do not like very spicy things.  The fries were thick and crispy.  I did not have the beans but heard that they were also very good.  We are going to go back and try the burnt ends because the owner claims they are the best in the city, which I would not doubt due to everything else I have tried.  Their ribs look great as well.  I will definitely go back again because it has become one of my favorites.

*The BBQ lives up to the impressive array of trophies and ribbons that fill the restaurant.  The beef brisket was very good; lean and flavorful.  I had the large sandwich and it was loaded with meat.  I only tried the mild sauce and it was good.  Steak fries were also tasty and there were plenty of them.  Service was fast (however, we were there after the normal lunch hour).  I plan to go back next week and try the burnt ends.

*Smoking Guns was a great place to eat. I had a pretty good sandwich, excellent beans and okay fries.  The folks were real nice and great service.  The owner recommended that we try the burnt ends the next time we come up to North Kansas City.  They had SEVERAL trophies and ribbons from BBQ contests they have won throughout the United States. Great place!!

*This no-frills restaurant in North Kansas City serves up some excellent BBQ.  You can see why the owners have so many trophies and ribbons from BBQ contests. This is good stuff.  I had the large sandwich with brisket and pulled pork, steak fries, and beans.  The large sandwich was overflowing with meat and was plenty for lunch. The pork and brisket were tender and had great flavor.  The beans were some of the best I've had and I put them at the top of the list with Jack's Stack. Plus, you get a large portion for $1.50 -- a whole lot more than most of the places we've been.  The steak fries were average -- could have been cooked longer and with some seasoning - but I still enjoyed them.  I liked their 2 BBQ sauces but would really recommend the hot sauce.  It wasn't too hot and had an added sweetness that I like.  We had a smaller group today so I'd like to go back and try their burnt ends and ribs. This was one of the better places we've been to lately.

*New place... Very good smoked meat.  The place is full of awards won around the country.  Worth the trip across the river.
