I got the combo plate. I would rate the food at just OK. The place brags about their huge granite smoker and how long they slow cook their meats. Well, the beef I had was so tuff that it could of been used by the guitar player for a neck strap if it had been a little longer!!! Does anyone know how to cook brisket in KC? I am tired of taking a bite out of a beef sandwich and the next thing all the meat is hanging down over my chin! The only reason to come here is for the great Blues music.

It is a blues bar and the BBQ is good but not the best. This is Kansas City though so the competition is tough for bbq. Definately has the best blues entertanment in the area which is saying alot too. Kansas City knows its blues.

The reviewer above, (Scott), obviously is NOT a purveyor of the better Barbeque joints in the KC area...As BB's Lawnside is just this side of A W F U L.... These cretins wouldn't know how to smoke a set of ribs, pork or beef - if you or I were to draw out the instructions for them. This is a tavern, disguised as a restaurant. With the idea of a dining establishment - being only that - an idea. This placed specializes in bringing some of the better Blues Bands in the Midwest, into Kansas City - but they'd be well advised to have Zarda Barbeque, SmokeStack, Sneads or Masterpiece cater to their customers; as I think you might be able to make a case in court against their kitchen - should you ever desire to. The beer is ice cold, however...And most of the time - the entertainment (which is THE main attraction) is TOP DRAWER... Best bet - Dine elsewhere; before you come here, for the night!

Not a huge fan of BBQ, the few times that I have been present there were for the music. If you want to hear some great blues and eat some very good BBQ, this is the best that I have found for that combination. As this is a not a music review but a food review, I will say the fare was better than most BBQ restaurants in the area. I had a combo platter which included spare ribs and sausage, cole slaw and fries. I didn't eat the fries, (Not a bad thing as I never do.) The ribs were much better than I have eaten at other, supposedly, better BBQ restaraunts. The service has always been excellent. I have only been there a couple of times but each time I was impressed that I was treated very well. The times I have been there have been when a band was playing and were very busy. I did not notice that the service suffered from the increase in business. I felt that my server was having fun as I was. Even though I'm not a big fan ... more
