Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que

Reviewed By Scott P

Best restaurant in an old gas station. Pulled pork and smoked sausage are my favorites here. The “hog heaven” sandwich is pure bbq happiness.

Cafe Provence really has an impeccable reputation throughout Kansas City. After hearing so many wonderful things about the restaurant, I finally had the opportunity to visit myself and now full understand why it one of the city's best. Our group of four had the perfect evening, and plan to make a habit of dining here. First of all, our server, Angus was one of the absolute best host we have ever had. He really went above and beyond to make our dinner outstanding. Although we love wine, we are not as familiar with French selections, yet he directed us to an extraordinary bottle, in fact we ended up having a second. Furthermore, he helped guide us through our menu selections, and we all absoluetly loved what we had. The appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts were all on par with the finest places that we have dined. In addition, the atmosphere is incredibly charming. I regret that it has taken me so long to visit, however it is undoubtedly my new favorite!

Jack Stack Barbecue - Overland Park

Reviewed By alvalady - Phoenix, Arizona

We stopped here on a road trip, craving Kansas City BBQ. Jack Stack did not disappoint. Service and food were outstanding. Highly recommend the beef burnt tips and cheesy corn. Both outstanding. Appetizer portions are huge. We loved both the fried mushrooms and cornbread. 5 thumbs up!

On a Wednesday evening, I had no need to worry about waiting for a table. Later, Sarah, my server, said, "Weeknights are pretty mellow." From what I'd seen online, I'd expected a long wait for food, but a bowl of amazing homemade chicken soup arrived...MoreWe are so pleased to hear about your experience with us, thank you for sharing! We hope to see you for our Thanksgiving buffet!

Ikea

Reviewed By daisylouwho - Copperas Cove, Texas

Having lived in Europe 12 years of my life, IKEA is always my mini-European vacation when I'm missing Europe. I have been to Various IKEAs in Germany, I've visited stateside IKEA in Seattle, Atlanta, and Austin area.

I ALWAYS grab something in the restaurant. It has always been amazing and worthwhile until now.

The lines for food were insane!! I've never had that bad of a line.

Then, the food. The meatballs were cold. The server was stingy with the gravy and the lingonberry sauce. The veggies pictured (a variety of beans) were not what we received. We were given a mixture of seasoned veggies which included cauliflower, carrots and a mystery veggie. I should have lived this but the veggies tasted freezer burned and the seasoning was seriously off. Although the food was cheap, this time, it was also worthless.

Excellent dinner. Enjoyed a slab of ribs and coleslaw. Ribs are so tender and fall off the bone. Some of the best coleslaw I've had. Worth the stop.

Big Bam's Burgers

Reviewed By Rich_Holden - Leavenworth, Kansas

Once again, the TripAdvisor scores a home run! First time to Big Bam’s but we’ll be back. Friendly service, clean tables, and great food at reasonable prices. I had their pork tenderloin sandwich and it reminded me of great schnitzels I had in Germany — so tender and flavorful. And yes, I got the tater tots based on fellow TA recommendations. Excellent. Can’t wait to try their other menu items. Highly recommend.
