Very cool place! The BBQ was amazing folks! Sheri was a great waitress, high energy and goes above and beyond!! The bbq beans were smoked to perfection!! The meat was all very moist! Sauces were great! Just no complaints at all here! My wife and I are both really full!

Wow! Blind Box BBQ has a warm, fun, and genuinely friendly atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest hello, seated quickly, and given a tour of their favorite menu items. It was our first visit, and they made it memorable from the start.
We followed their recommendations and were blown away—delicious burnt ends, brisket, creamy corn, beans, and mac & cheese. Every bite hit. The bartender was charming and incredibly talented—hands down the best infused cocktail we’ve had in a long time.
We’ll absolutely be back and will be bringing friends. We’d rank Blind Box right up there with Q39 and Joe’s, and honestly, way better than Jack Stack. Highly recommend Blind Box BBQ!

Stopped in for lunch with friends. 1st time trying. Spacious spot with bar seating as well as booth and table seating in 2 different rooms indoors as well as an outdoor patio.
We all ordered a lunch platter. Had ribs, brisket, burnt ends, turkey, french fries, baked beans, and cheesy corn bake. Very good all the way around. I didn’t try the fries, but the meats were all very flavorful. They also had 4 different BBQ sauces. Original, Sweet, Spicy, & Mustard. Nice to have multiple selections.
The atmosphere was good and the service was prompt and personable. Vamid helped us and was quite nice.
Will definitely try again!

We arrived close to 11:30 on a Starbucks morning. There were a few people but got seated immediately and Bick, our waiter was quick to get our drink and appetizer order.
We got the onion straws for a starter.
I ordered the Lil Juicy with smoked potato salad. The sandwich was juicy, tender and no fat. It was good but will get something different in the future.
My husband ordered the Combo #1. It came with ribs, burnt ends and smoked sausage and 2 sides. He got the corn bake and bourbon naked beans.
We took more than half our food with us because of the large portions.
Great atmosphere, food and service

We came to see the races at Kansas Speedway and had read good reviews about their food and restaurant. We found the place ok and it was pretty cool looking as we walked in. There’s outside seating if you want it, we opted to go inside to dine. We were greeted promptly and seated in a booth. Our waiter was named Buck, and he took our drink order and gave us some insight into some of the food questions we had. We got our sweet tea (which was VERY good BTW) and we ordered. All in all we got ribs, burnt ends, and brisket, along with cheesy corn, baked beans and Mac and cheese and street corn. Everything was delicious and moist. We didn’t have anything that wasn’t “good”. John (I’m assuming the manager) stopped by our table to chat some and was very nice. The whole experience was awesome! We would definitely go back next time we are in town!

I debated reviewing this place based on my experience and whether to give them 3 ⭐️ or 4 ⭐️. I believe the feedback is sometimes needed though. And because they tried to make it right I decided 4 ⭐️ is as generous as I can be.
I drove 3 hours out of my way, on my way to NE from Texas to try KC bbq because I had an extra day to kill and probably will never be back to Kansas City again. So I chose this place carefully based on reviews.
The place is very nice inside, and it’s located in a nice area. I noticed when I walked in though that it was freezing inside. I had to also ask a staff member for a table after no prompt from them if I would like a table or to sit at the bar etc. I saw no sign to seat yourself. There was also only one other party there.
Once they gave me a menu after I sat down I decide on the loaded mac and cheese with pulled pork and added a side of onion strings. The staff brought me two bbq sauces for my food while I was waiting.
My food came out about 15-20 minutes later and I applied the onion strings on top of my food, added the sweet bbq sauce, and took a picture. This took about 1-2 minutes max. This becomes relevant later on.
My food was cold. Not warm.. cold. The plate itself was the only thing slightly warm. At first bite I thought maybe because it was a bite on the very edge of the plate it had cooled down. But the center was cold as well as was the meat. I was not going to eat cold mac and cheese.
I immediately got up and went to the bar area as that was the only staff member available I saw. They immediately took the food and told me they would remake it.
I waited about 10 minutes and they brought a new plate of what I ordered and a new fresh order of onion strings as well. I appreciated that they remade it because honestly I wouldn’t have cared if they had just popped it in the microwave to reheat it.
After about 1/3 of the food being eaten I noticed it start to go cold. I then realized why my food probably came out cold the first time. The place was freezing and probably sat there for several minutes before it came out to me, and I just couldn’t eat my hot and newly made food fast enough before it too became cold not even halfway through. I eventually just asked for a togo box for the rest because I just couldn’t eat the rest of it being cold.
The food iteself was fine. The onion strings were really flavorful and well seasoned. The cheese sauce was more of a queso taste than mac n cheese sauce. The pork was standard. The sweet bbq sauce was good. The original bbq sauce I personally did not like it was very sour and vinegar forward and a punch to the tastebuds. I assume this is standard KC bbq sauce I kept hearing such rave reviews about.
As someone who grew up on South Carolina pulled pork bbq and then Texas Tex-Mex bbq fusions this was average bbq. Maybe I would have enjoyed the other things they had to offer more but the menu seemed very limited to me. Offering a few meat options with sides, burgers, or starters. And a bowl of hot mac n cheese with bbq sounded the best.
I probably will never be back to KC again so honestly I’m kind of disappointed in my bbq experience. Maybe if I’m ever back in KC again I’ll be able to give this place another chance.

We had a great experience in Blind Box bbq from the moment we entered. Hostess was very nice and welcoming. Our server – Max – was amazing, very professional and kind!
But the most important – food! Omg, everything was so delicious, well made, super flavorful and tasty

Mini family reunion lasting only a meal long. A party of 9 was not a problem. Appetizers maybe the best ever. I seriously want an Appetizer sampler for every meal of my life. Too bad I live 3 hours away.
Top notch place in every category.

Wow! I’m blown away! The food is incredible here. I had burnt ends and the prime burger. Everything was so delicious. So many good combinations. Jency was on top of the service and made sure we were taken care of. I would highly recommend coming here if you enjoy high-quality BBQ for a reasonable price!!!

Fresh food in fresh recipes along with classic flavors and meals of KC BBQ. The wontons were a surprisingly great new item to try while visiting KC. They were devoured before I even thought to take a picture of the delightful plating of this delicious treat!
There are plenty of kid friendly meal options my daughter would have picked, but she got the pulled pork sandwich like I did and we were both happy eating 2 different sauces of the 4 offered. My mom ordered the chicken Philly, and it had a surprising twist of cream cheese as the cheese, and I definitely agree with the chef of this twist and wonder why Ive never had a Philly so good like this one tasted before!
I grew up in KC on the classic flavors of the known greats like Arthur Bryant’s, and Gates BBQ. After trying this place though, Im going to look forward to returning here for the flavors, the recipes, the service and the atmosphere with my kid for years to come.
