Mine my not be a very popular opinion, but I am going to call a chain a chain. Joe’s might have great food at the original location(maybe) but when you are mass producing what are supposed to be long smoked and complexly flavored meats, you are going to take short cuts. It’s clear this location, at least, does. The meats were overly fatty and lacked any of the complex flavors and crispness you find in great BBQ. Toast was dry and bland and the coleslaw and red beans & rice were quite disappointing. Do yourself a flavor and visit one of KC’s other, more original BBQ places that caters to smaller crowds with better taste!

When visiting family in town, we ALWAYS stop at this bbq restaurant! They NEVER let us down! Z-Man is what hubby gets and I love their brisket sandwiches. We were too hungry therefore didn’t get a chance to take pictures before eating! 🤪

I've tasted barbecue all over the country! I'm a hobbyist barbecue or myself. This is without a doubt some of the best I've had aside from a good old shack or food truck on the side of the road LOL. Enjoyed it!!

Tried the brisket, sausage, and burnt ends. The sausage was not good at all. The brisket had little flavor but the burnt ends were good. The original sauce is tasty. Not impressed with the slaw but the potato salad is average. First time here. It’s an average bbq restaurant.

I'm not big on spicy food. I feel like I don't mind heat if the flavor calls for it, but they lean more to the spicy side, so for me personally, not my favorite, but the servers were very nice. The food came out warm and fresh. I got the Z-man and it was pretty good, once I put enough of the sweeter barbecue sauce on it. The amount of the sauce they add on it wasn't the right ratio of wet to dry ingredients. That's a delicate balance in my book. We had a large group from an all day meeting, so it would be nice if they had some sort of option that allowed us to make arrangements for seating or reservations, but they do not offer any option to cater towards these types of events. But everyone was very nice, and a lot of people in my group really enjoyed it, I just have a more discerning pallet, cause their beans got nothing on Jack Stack beans. And it's all about the beans to me.

Delicious food and the line moved fast despite being long! It was smart to separate the ordering from the cashier to keep the line moving. The employees were nice and I liked the layout of the restaurant.

Food was decent. Burnt ends were the best. Brisket, ribs and pulled pork were also good. If I had to pick the least flavorful it was the sausage. Baked beans were good. The creamy coleslaw had little flavor

Great food! Busy place. I ordered the lunch burnt end plate with Mac and cheese, my husband ordered the one meat dinner, turkey with baked beans. The only complaint he had were the texture of the onions in the beans. They had a lot of flavor otherwise. Mac and cheese was great. A little smokey, and creamy. It came out piping hot. I gave my husband a little heck for ordering turkey but soon ate my words, it was delicious, tender, smokey, sliced thin. The burnt ends were very tender. Sauces were great. Husband wished they had a hotter one. I thought they were pretty sweet, but had a lot of flavor to balance it out.

There is something to be said for consistency and I can honestly say that in my many years of visiting Joe's KC BBQ I have never once had a bad meal there. The BBQ is often held up as "best in the city" and that title is deservedly earned. I would say the ribs are the standout here and would put them up against anyone in the city. The "Z-Man" sandwich is also great. With an enormous side of fries, you will not leave this place hungry. No matter what type of meat you like, you will find something to your liking at Joe's.

I thought this place was pretty good barbecue. Not the best but pretty good. Seemed a little but "chainish" and not as authentic as some but still pretty decent. I was from out of town and was visiting and when I travel I like to try different restaurants. I would recommend this place the food was good. As I travel around the country for work I try a lot of different barbecue places though so I'm a bit picky when it comes to barbecue. Food and service were good though and I didn't have to wait long for my order so that is always appreciated
