Smokehouse Barbecue has been servicing Kansas City since 1987. It opened its doors in Zona Rosa, Kansas City, Missouri, with one objective in mind: to provide Kansas City customers with the best barbecue and service possible. On a daily basis, Smokehouse Barbecue surpasses that aim by serving only the best hickory-smoked brisket and juicy chicken, as well as delectable spices, sauces, and rubs.

Smokehouse Barbecue Information:
Smokehouse Barbecue is a family-owned Kansas City institution devoted to delighting your family with delectable dishes, fall-off-the-bone delicious meats, big servings, and immaculate service.

In the Kansas City Region, Smokehouse Barbecue has three locations. Smokehouse Barbecue's scrumptious sides have also gotten great praise, including fresh-made coleslaw, smoky, and sweet barbecue beans, and some of the smoothest, richest sauces you'll ever try.

    Smokehouse is one of the best BBQ places in KC. In addition to BBQ, the salads with homemade dressing are outstanding. Also the best fresh fish in town. Today the grilled red snapper was excellent.

    It was our first time at the smokehouse BBQ. We ordered the family platter for two with brisket, pulled pork and rips. Sides we chose the white cheddar Mac and cheese and the smoked beans. They give you several BBQ sauce options and we chose sweet and original. Had the sauces on the side. The meats were good. We did not like the BBQ sauce too much but the beans were the bomb. The sweat tea wasn’t too sweet and my husband liked his red cream soda. The meal portion was huge. Unfortunately I forgot our servers name. She was fabulous. Super sweet lady and attentive. Likely to come back.

    We spent 2 days in Kansas City and were looking for some bbq. Many people recommended Jack Stacks or one other place but we didn't feel like driving anymore that day. We were quite happy to find Smokehouse BBQ a few miles aways. We arrived a few minutes early for our reservation but were seated immediately. The waitperson appeared quickly and brought our drinks quickly. We ordered the baby back ribs for 2 and the entree arrived very quickly. The ribs were excellent, done to perfection. The sauce on the ribs was also perfect. We were so glad that we elected to dine here. I would definitely recommend Smokehouse BBQ and will return the next time we are in KC.

    Our waiter seemed uninterested and there as a problem with getting the food entered and brought to the table. 4 out of 6 got served in a timely manner. Another came out 10 mins later and the last 20 mins later. The manager apologized and promised to make it good and pay for the last meal. The checks came and there was no accommodation until we mentioned their promise. The checks were all messed up too. It was not the best exprerience

    Baby back ribs so tender the meat falls off the bone, friendly and timely service, and good drinks from the bar (the Old Fashioned is particularly good). Love this Smokehouse location.
