Slap's BBQ

A must-stop in Kansas City, Slap's BBQ is aptly named—this place truly "slaps"! The best part for me is that it's Gluten Free! Having tried BBQ in the South and East, I can confidently say Slap's has earned its reputation. The meat is incredibly tender, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. Portions are huge, and the sides are shareable, featuring the tastiest sweet potato fries and coleslaw I've had. Seriously, everything here hit the mark and then some. The burnt ends were perfectly crispy yet tender, while the chicken leg quarter and beef cuts offered a delightful, naturally smoky flavor. The sausage was incredibly flavorful, and while a touch salty for my personal taste, it was beautifully balanced by the sweet potato fries and creamy coleslaw. Don't miss the sauce station, where you'll find both spicy and sweet BBQ options. They perfectly complement the meats without overwhelming their natural flavors, offering a delightful blend of sweet, smoky, and just the right amount of red chili spice. Plus, there are plenty of lids and boxes for your inevitable leftovers! My only minor gripe was that the picnic tables weren't cleaned after each use. However, if I'm ever in Kansas City again, I'm driving straight to Slap's BBQ - This isn't just a clever name; it's a promise delivered.

Amazingly kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating to gluten intolerance. Lots of options are gf and I was so impressed with how quickly they changed gloves and got to work preparing my food safely! Food tastes better when it feels safe, that's for sure!

Delicious food....smoked and chard burnt ends amazing but the best cheesy corn ever in KC for our barbeque joints. Kansas City style but light on the seasoning. Picnic tables are all over including on their stylish outside upper Deck. Sauce is gluten free
