Customer Reviews
Experience was cool. Line moved quickly. Meat wasnt hot or even warm. More like room temp, possibly because they were so busy. In my order I had brisket and pulled pork - definitely favored the pork over the brisket. Potato casserole very good. Ordered cheese curds got fried pickles didnt complain because they were delish! Probably wouldnt go back just because its a drive for us (60 min) and there are other places we like better that are closer.
The wife and I experienced good food, we got the sampler platter it was brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and chicken. We added ribs and burnt ends. There was potato casserole and Mac and cheese. Everything was good but the potato casserole I think stole the show! I really like the amount of food we received. Yes we spent $80.but if it's good it's worth it. I would like to try the turkey next time.
The Menu had so many options so of course I had to get the Sampler…with the 3 ribs AND the burnt ends 🐷 The menu in the entryway is a little overwhelming… hard to not be standing in front of someone trying to look at it. I have to agree with the other post I read about the temperature… brisket was sliced thin and cold. Loves the fact that they have “to go” containers set out for you. We shared the sampler and couldn’t even finish it! Surprisingly, the chicken was my favorite 🍗. I bet that rooftop deck would be awesome on a summer afternoon!
On a cold early evening Slaps was a warm bbq place for us out-of-towers! First time visitors. We both dined in - they gave an area for those that dine in - converted covered area, warm as there is no seating area directly as you come in. Great atmosphere. Food: I like hot food. Unfortunately, my burnt ends and brisket was warm at best. Disappointing. Great flavor. You get slices of bread. Literally white bread pulled out of a bread sack. Not buttered, grilled, toasted Baked beans were piping hot and delicious. Potato casserole - husband liked, I wasn’t a fan. Doesn’t mean it’s not a favorite. Chicken - tender and hot. I would opt for that next visit. Overall, I would return and try out again. Conveniently located less than 3 miles from downtown KC where we were staying. Service: ex
So I have been wanting to eat here since moving to KC. I have tried other BBQ like Q39, KC Joes, Gates. None of them hold a candle to Slaps. THIS IS THE BEST IN KC. Period. I have eaten there a few times now. Nothing has been short of spectacular. Staff is also good. My only gripe is the parking but that's part of the area, not uncommon to this particular business. If you are an out of town visitor, this is where you go for KCBBQ. If you are a local, well, you already know.
