*This is a
little place in
a strip mall
that has a
pleasant
interior if the
music isn't too
loud. It
reminded me of a
sub shop kind of
place. I
ordered the
mixed plate that
came with two
pork ribs and
sliced meat. I
chose turkey and
thought it was
no better than
what I could get
at the grocery
store deli. The
ribs were OK .
My side order
was beans and
they were barely
warm so the
beans were
almost too
hard. It's too
bad because
their flavor
was sweet and
smoky and I
liked it. I
tasted a piece
of the beef
brisket and it
was delicious. I
wish I had
ordered it
instead.
*I was very
disappointed
with Timbers. I
ordered 2 ribs
and turkey which
came
with a side. It
cost $10, which
seemed high for
the amount of
meat that I
received. I was
not happy with
the ribs because
there was not
much meat on
them and the
turkey was the
pressed meat
that we could
have ordered
from the grocery
store. It was
also cold. The
cole slaw was
average. I heard
that the brisket
was good, but
don't know that
I would make
another trip
just to have the
brisket. The beans
were good but as
everyone said,
they were cold.
*Maybe they were
not prepared for
such a large
group to come in
at once. But
they did a good
job getting us
through there. I
like the
atmosphere and
how friendly
they were and
that they had
all those
sauces! I loved
the beans (mine
were warm). But,
the burnt ends
were fatty (not
that large of a
portion on the
bun; the fries
were cold and
too salty (a
huge portion)
and I did not
care for the
pulled pork (but
it was a huge
portion). The
worst part for
me, however, was
their own
sauce. I really
really couldn't
believe the
sauce....Good
thing for me I
asked for a
sample cup
before I put it
all over my
food.
*Timbers was
pretty good.
I had the ribs
and ham platter
with baked
beans. The ribs
were okay, but I
didn't really
like the sauce.
The beans were
excellent. This
is a new
restaurant in KC
and they are
opening a few
more in the
city. If I went
back, I would
probably try
some of their
sandwiches. I
liked the
atmosphere. They
also have
several sauces
you can use on
your food
including their
own sauce.
*A pre-packaged
BBQ place.
Average but not
a place I would
go back to.
*Nice find up in
Bonner Springs.
The place
sits on the West
side of K7 and
is situated in a
strip mall. I
ordered a Pulled
Pork Sandwich
and a side of
Beans. The
Sandwich was
$5.25 and they
offer a side + a
drink for an
extra $1.99.
Food orders are
made at the
counter and that
is the best way
to run a BBQ
operation. The
sandwich had a
least a half
pound of Pulled
Pork stacked
high and wide.
It had a smoky
flavor to it but
it could have
used just a
little bit more.
It was still a
good sandwich -
very lean and
moist. The Beans
were served in a
man-sized
portion
(finally) and
were excellent.
They may be
among the best
Beans in KC. The
Timber's sauce
was middle of
the road. They
have a number of
other brands of
sauces you can
order, but they
charge you a .50
upgrade. I'd
probably go that
route next time.
Highest marks
for portions and
value. Nice BBQ
atmosphere -
albeit a
strip-mall-type
setup. I'd go
back again. I
ate so much that
I skipped
supper!
*The burnt ends
were full of fat
and not burnt.
The beans were
mediocre at
best. Fries had
a seasoned salt
on them – too
much of it – and
they were cold.
I had the
Timbers sauce –
it is spicy and
not especially
good. They did
have a choice of
other sauces
which is a good
thing. The
service was slow
– they didn’t
seem at all
prepared for 13
of us coming in
at once.
*This is a small
chain restaurant
with decent
food. The house
sauce is
poor. The ribs
were tender, but
bland.
