Iron Jacket BBQ

Best burnt ends of MY LIFE. HOT DAMN ERIC. Road tripping and came across this culinary phenomenon in Mulvane. Who cares about Kansas City bbq, go get better meat in Mulvane. Eric is a legend and I hope he continues to expand. GET THIS GUY ON DDD!!!

Please take the five minute drive off of I-35 to go experience the best barbecue in Kansas, maybe the BEST in the central states! This little dive is open Thursdays and Saturdays. The owner has done a great job decorating inside this restaurant that's quaint, welcoming, and extremely clean. He does it all! The brisket is the best I've ever eaten. I've been to many places in Austin, all over Texas and Oklahoma, and many Kansas City joints. Eric knows what's he's doing. The macaroni and cheese is craveable. The coleslaw is perfectly balanced with red and green cabbage with not too much sauce. Let me mention his four sauces: Texas-style, espresso, cherry cola, and a spicy vinegar sauce. All the sauces are spot-on. My favorite? The espresso! While the meats need no sauce (kudos to the pit mast

You don't see many places with a perfect 5 star rating unless they only have a handful of reviews but I can tell you that this one is not only true but well deserved! We had tickets to see a show at the casino in Mulvane so I googled what was near by to get a bite to eat and Iron Jacket showed up. I read some reviews and instantly knew I had to give it try. I reached out to Eric on social media and he answered all my questions. This guy knows his BBQ! I had the point end brisket, burnt ends, coleslaw and potato salad. Brisket was high end! Top 3 I have ever had and I have ate a lot of Brisket LOL! Burnt ends were by a LONG way the BEST I have ever had. Coleslaw was GOOD, Potato salad was GOOD! The wife had pulled pork and said it was great! But, the best thing about this place was Eric and

A picture is worth 1,000 words, but the brisket here will leave you speechless. Nowhere near Wichita will you find brisket that is cooked with so much love, care, and most importantly- FLAVOR. I also tried the burnt ends during my visit, and they did not disappoint! The most perfectly seasoned, insanely tender and juicy BBQ in the area. Maybe even the state. Eric has taken the time and effort to bring a taste of true Texas BBQ to Kansas, and we owe him for it! He makes all the sauces himself, and you can't go wrong with any of them. Do yourself a favor and come try one of everything as soon as you have the chance. Currently open Saturdays and Thursdays, plan accordingly.

It’s been awesome to find such a great BBQ place so close to home! Best brisket I’ve found in Kansas! And as a former Texan…believe me, I’ve searched! Eric know his way around a smoker and from the brisket & pulled pork to the smoked Mac & cheese & hash, everything is so fresh and full of flavor! I can not recommend this place enough!!
