Whenever I travel I'm always on the lookout for great local places that really seem to rep the culinary trends that the locals love. This place is a wonderful look into the history of BBQ in the area. Their brisket and sausage were just so yummy. There's an outdoor patio area that's perfect for enjoying good weather and also great if you're traveling with your pets or your kids need a more casual space while they eat. The servers are really helpful in guiding you on what's available that day. Get there early before things sell out.

Easily the best barbecue I have eaten in Kansas City so far!!! Ribs were the perfect example of competition style ribs (tender but not pulled pork with bones in it) and the sausage was still juicy, well smoked, and flavorful. Both sauces were nice and well flavored and the cheesy corn had amazing flavor. The gentleman at the desk helped me navigate the menu and made it easy for me to select what I wanted. Also loved the decor and the outside seating. I will easily be back here soon:

Appreciate the assistance you receive from them Food is delicious as well. You must visit as soon as they open since they sell out quickly. Along with the ribs and two beef plates, I also ordered baked beans and potato salad.

Pulled pork was excellent, especially with melty provolone - doesn't need sauce, one of the best soft buns I've ever had!! Burnt end chili left A LOT, and I mean A LOT to be desired. Very boring and plain and beans. I do not like beans in chili. Brisket is great! Looks like bacon and good amount of fat. I don't feel any desire to dip it in the sauce. I tried it with sauce and it's actually better on its own!! Ribs are just ok. The fat has a yellow greenish tinge to it which I've never seen before. They might incorporate the pickle juice somehow. Really nothing special here. Beans are great Coleslaw is good, could be a little sweeter Mac and cheese is very mid and not very cheesy. More buttery and oily and reminiscent of olive garden. Not the typical elbow macaroni but bowtie pasta which is interesting. I'm not saying it's bad, I actually kinda like it, but mac and cheese it certainly is not. The Ghirardelli brownie is just ok and nothing special either. I must have gotten a day old batch so it's a little crusty. It's literally just the box mix Ghirardelli with chocolate chips and I know for sure cuz I've made it for myself before. It's a thick slice but for 4 bucks? Yikes! Wasn't worth it. Sauce is good with a nice kick of spice They are not shy with the pickles which is great to see! Service is nice and friendly! Great indoor and outdoor seating. Although the fans on the indoor makes the napkins blow everywhere and difficult to manage. The front door is missing the automatic spring and makes it very annoying remembering to close it every time. Burnt ends only on Wednesdays and Saturdays so I'll have to come back and try them! Overall I loved the pulled pork sandwich and brisket and beans, but everything else is so mid, almost bad even. This can't be overlooked and gets 4 stars from me.

This is a no thrills BBQ place. Order at the counter from a billboard menu. There is rustic outside seating and an indoor area as well. I had the C's combo sandwich with beans. It is ham and brisket on white bread without sauce. Woodyard offers two sauces. An OG mild and a hot sauce. I liked both. I tried both the brisket and ham by itself. Neither were that outstanding on its own. Together on white bread with some sauce on both sides was heaven. The beans were pretty good too. Next time I will try the ribs.

Wood yard is a great place to get authentic KC BBQ. the baby back ribs were great with a great smoke flavor and the burnt ends were like butter in your mouth. You have choices as far as dining is concerned from picnic tables out front and in the back wood yard. They have a dining room that feels like you are in someone's home. Don't look for white tablecloths here. The service was fast and friendly. They brought out our meal before we even decided where to sit. Wood yard is a must when in KC.

This is a decent choice for some barbecue. Nothing fancy and located in an old house. We sat at a picnic table outside but there is a dining room as well. I had a Pulled Pork Sandwich with Coleslaw and Baked Beans. While the pork was nicely pulled and tender, the bun was so wet that I couldn't hold my sandwich to eat it. Eating it with a fork and knife (and having to avoid the soggy bread bottom) took away from the dining experience. I could barely taste the coleslaw - in my opinion they need to add a little extra something (salt, sugar, vinegar...) to bring out the flavor. What the coleslaw lacked in flavor is overshadowed by the positive and bubbly personality of the man who answered the phone when I called ("We really hope to see you real soon!"). He also took our order at the counter - every business should be so lucky to have an employee like him!
