Smokehouse Barbecue Kansas City, Mo (zona Rosa)

Been going here for years. Always swing by from the airport on my way in. Sadly, it's really gone downhill. Ribs were over cooked and dry. Brisket was dry, hardly any smoke ring, bland flavor. And the pulled pork had no flavor at all, bland stringy meat product. Beans we're still pretty darn good, but not as good as they used to be. Pickles were great so that's something. The whole meal was just off. I try not to be too critical these days, I know it's hard to staff a restaurant. But this is bbq, you just can't mess up on the meat. Not in KC..there are too many other amazing options.

Franklin was our server, he was awesome! The order consisted of Prime Rib w Beef and Combo Platter. The atmosphere was awesome and upscale. LOVED THE FOOD ! Foodgasm

I think the staff at SHB may be the friendliest I have ever met! So helpful and sweet and they made us feel right at home. My order was to-go and it was packaged well and the food was superb. They graciously sent home extra sauce and Cajun butter. We had a rib and burnt ends platter, along with corn nuggets and zucchini boat thingies. Two thumbs up!

If you like dry and bland BBQ, this is the place for you. I got burnt ends and brisket. The cheese corn and mac cheese were bland as well. Best thing at this restaurant is the homemade ranch. This restaurant could use some more seasoning on everything. Our server was great, but the food was not.

Excellent ribs (pork, baby back and beef) and friendly bar with great happy-hour pricing. I will be back.
