Ribs, on sweeter side, juicy, not much smoke flavor smell. Burnt ends, decent also sweeter taste, not much fat, on leaner side, meat in beef liquid juice, could use more smoke scent. They give good amount of pickles and jalepenos. Spicy sauce, not too spicy.

Super tasty. Good portions. I was stuffed. I like how they had a spicy and a sweet sauce that tasted completely different. They didn't just spicy up the sweet sauce. I would recommend.

With so much BBQ in Kansas City, I can be overly critical at times because there are so many options when one is not as great as another. Slap's has quickly made a name for itself as a newer addition to the discussions about great BBQ in Kansas City. For me personally though, I may have ordered items that aren't there best. The cheesy corn is good, but it wasn't something where I'm clamoring for another serving. I also got the Southern Comfort pulled pork sandwich, which I didn't love on the first bite. However, with each additional bite, I found myself enjoying it more and more. It had a slow build of flavor that showed me that Slap's is making a name around the city for a reason, but I think I'd try something else on my next visit.

I am basically a sponge when I go to a new city. I try to ask everyone for recommendations and their favorite spots to eat and drink. While I am no stranger to Kansas City, and have tried a number of their BBQ offerings, I was so thankful that the front desk staff at my hotel was adamant that we go to Slap's BBQ while we were in town. Once we got into town, we were relaxing in our hotel, we grabbed a drink by the pool, got situated in our room, and then decided to go get supper. We rolled up at 6:55 PM and we're greeted in the parking lot with the staff member to tell us that they were out of food and not taking any more customers. while I was extraordinarily saddened, I was happy to hear they would be open at 11 AM on Sunday. Needless to say we went back... When we got there the line was probably 12 people deep and I knew I was willing to stick it out, but I heard someone talking about ordering online. I hopped on their website, put in my order, and my mom and I went across the street to enjoy a local coffee shop until our food was ready. Something like 15 minutes later we were able to walk back across the street, go directly to the pick up window, grab our food, and snag a table to dig in! I knew I wanted to try the burnt ends and when I saw that I could get that as a combo with an additional meat and two sides, my mind was made up. I opted for the brisket, even though I would have loved to have tried a number of them, and the staff member at the hotel said their potato salad was the best and for my final choice I went with cheesy corn. The burnt ends and the brisket were perfectly tender. You could taste the smoke, and those burnt ends, still retained so much moisture and flavor. She was definitely right about the potato salad... I don't know what in the world is in this, but you have to try it. The cheesy corn for me was a different story... I certainly wasn't a fan and wished I would have opted for something else. I know, I was surprised as well. There were just so many other good sides available that I wish I would have tried. There were two sauces and both were incredible. One was on the sweeter side and one was spicier. Normally I go for spicy, but I really enjoyed the sweet barbecue! - this isn't the MOST accessible restaurant, but at least there are no stairs. There is also a ramp to get into the screened in outdoor seating on the side in addition to the main entrance of the restaurant. The rooftop seating looks pretty awesome, but obviously is not accessible. there are also picnic tables out in front that are accessible. They just don't have any shade. - this is a little tricky and in short supply. I think I found one or two handicap accessible spots. There is one on the street and I believe there is one in their parking lot. Their parking lot was almost always full, but if you are patient and creative, you should be able to find a spot on the street.

It slaps and it's the bbq you need to try here in Kansas. Everything taste wise, comfort wise, ease of parking and moving through the whole ordeal deserves the 4 stars but simply it's too expensive for me to justify coming back. Do it once and love it forever.

Took my out-of-town bestie to Slaps so she could try a real taste of KC BBQ! I love Slaps. We ordered the burnt ends combo with pulled pork, baked beans, cheesy corn and an extra side of fried pickles. The food never disappoints! The only downside was the hour long wait in line in the blazing hot sun. They could use some shade for that wait, and even some water coolers would be nice. Long wait means good food for sure! They are doing some renovation so the bathrooms were a bit of a mess. But the patio area and upper deck provide plenty of seating! Recommend ordering online and doing a pickup to avoid the line! Delicious!! Will come back!

This barbecue slapped if I must say. We had a good time. We got a wide variety a different things to try such as the barbecue the pickles, the mac & cheese beans everything was really good. We had a good time and really enjoyed ourselves. Kansas City is filled with barbecue places, and this is one that I really enjoyed.

My first visit to Slap's and it didn't disappoint. Went with the Burnt End Plate with Cheesy Corn and Fries. Burnt ends were really good. Good flavor and cooked perfectly. Cheesy corn is as advertised, CHEESY! My favorite had to be the sauce, particularly the spicy. It was packed on a Saturday, so we ended up dining at a large picnic table with a nice family. Nice to meet people through a meal! The folks behind the counter were helpful and friendly. Nice job by them!

I honestly usually never crave BBQ food... Yes, yes, I know! SORRY! I don't know why! Maybe cause NYC just did me wrong and always comes out as a dissapointment. I'm glad Kansas City turned me around. If only you saw my face expressions with shocked, surprised and awe'd of how amazing that sampler platter I've ordered. Portion was perfect. Not overally stuffed where i'm about to explode but just enough where i can roll into bed and knock out. Just putting diff. slabs of meat on bread and tossing some sides on top making my own concoctions got me Wowwed at how the flavors were. Smokey, Tangy, a bit of sweet, and a hint of kick in ALL of em! Also love how they gave me extra sauce to dip, drizzle, take shots with! YES, that's how good it was. I'm not even gonna lie. I had 2 extra sauce cups and I ended up dipping that with my meal the next day! Overall. Thank you for slapping my senses. CAUSE BARRRRRBAHHHHQUEEEE is gonna be on mahhhh mindddd allll dayyyy!

In town visiting for work. Asked a round and was advised to go to this and one other place. This one was close to my work so I swung by here for lunch one day. Service is Counter style and at lunch on a Wednesday it was probably about 20 people deep. Only took about 15 minutes to get to the line so really not that long of a wait. Food was instant as the counter provides you your food right before you check out. As I was new to the area, I wanted to try a little bit of everything so I opted for a two meat plate and added a third side of jalapeño smoked sausage at the end. My other two meats were the ribs and the burnt ends Wow!! These burnt ends are probably some of the best I've ever had. Dip them in a little bit of their sweet and or spicy sauces and the flavors really are on fire! They ribs are fall off the bone tasty and have a nice dry rub that can be complemented with their sauces. The jalapeño sausage, I thought could've had a little more cheese and jalapeño in it as it mostly was sausage, but still were tasty! The sides were both delicious as well with the baked beans again, being some of the best I've ever had! The mac & cheese was on point as well as it had real chunks of bacon in it mmmmmmmmmm Bacon! A relatively large seating area outside replete with picnic tables, and a couple other tables is where you can dine if you choose to stay.If you only have the chance to try even just a few types of barbecue to try in KC, this should definitely one of them!
