Chef J Bbq - Kansas City

This is the best craft BBQ place in the metro, get here while it's still a well-kept secret, because it won't be for long! Chef J is new, but they know the game as well as anyone in town. It's some of the best brisket I ever had, and the Beast Mode sandwich (pictured) is one of the largest and most decadent BBQ sandwiches I've ever had. As was that mac cheese topped with brisket. The owner of this place truly cares about the craft and it shows.

Consistently the best BBQ in Kansas City. Brisket is cut to order, thick sliced, and is both juicy and fall-apart tender. Bacon burnt ends are out of this world?so good that they limit the quantity unless you order ahead. Mac and cheese is smooth and creamy, better than your mom?s or grandma?s best recipe. The banana pudding and peanut butter pie are both a perfect finish. My only suggestion is to bring Diet Dr Pepper into the fountain machine! Most BBQ places have off days where the meat just isn?t all that great ? have *never* experienced that at Chef J!

Found this on google maps and highly rated and it was legit!! Ordered the plate and pork and ends were excellent as were sauces and we loved the sausage! Sides really fresh and great pickles. Best bbq we had on our trip!

I was at Stockyard BBQ store, which is across the street from Chef J's and found this place on accident. I'm ALWAYS looking to find the BEST BBQ in KC, and today is that day. When you think of BBQ, you don't really think Italian Sausage, well that's about to change. Chef J's sausage isn't just the best in KC, it's one of the best I ever had, and the spare ribs, forgetta bout it, meat fell right off the bone. Both sides were out of this world. Two meat combo, no drink, came to about $25. Service was good, atmosphere was really cool, plenty of parking, and the BBQ is thee best.....The only reason I give this place a four instead of a five is the restroom, the restroom really needs a thorough cleaning. Other than that, definitely check this place out.

Definitely worth the hour wait! We got there at 11 am, he opened at noon and was sold out by 1230!! The brisket was flavorful and didn?t need any BBQ sauce and the ribs were spot on. Absolutely loved the cheesy smoked elotes and the Mac and cheese. If you?re ever in the Kansas City area I highly recommend checking out this place, you won?t be disappointed!
