There isn't as much parking and this establishment isn't in a fancy building, so don't look for it. It's like a little run down, but damn this bbq tastes so good. This place isfilled with smoked bbq. I have been here twice now and there always seems to be a line. But, this place still uses the original smoker and bbq. So, the taste gets into the meat. Wait in line and take a look at the menu on an old-school board. You don't see that anywhere anymore. You order at the counter, pay, and move out of the way while you wait your order. We ordered the bbq pork, ribs, and turkey with beans, Cole slaw, and fried mushrooms. We took it to go since it was so crowded in there and the smoked meats smelt so strong. Can't wait to come back!

5 stars are very rare for me, I wish I could do 4.5. LC's is legit Bar B Q, looking at the pit the itself, you know you are in for treat. Because of the out of the way location, we had trouble spotting the place, but we looked a few blocks down the road and there was a huge plume of smoke, and we knew we found it, we just followed the smoke. I'm sure that pit is as old as the building, even the awnings are stained with smoke. We had the brisket and burnt ends, which we took to go, so I didn't eat it until I got back home to Omaha. I will make that 3 hour dive just for the BBQ, it was that good. So sorry Jack Stack and Gates, I have found a new love. The decor is old style diner homey, nothing fancy at all, but the food is off the chain! I need to do a few more visits and try the other menu items and if its anything like what I've already had, I will definitely change the score to 5 stars, I just need to do more "research".

Really solid BBQ at reasonable prices in an unassuming location if you're willing to subject your lungs to the smoke inhalation in this place. Other reviews have said similar things here, but I really have no idea how these people work at this location day in and day out without getting emphysema. If I could do my visit over I'd have picked a closer table to the door to get some air, but overall I was pretty happy with everything we ordered at LC's. Ribs were fall off the bone tender and well seasoned. The turkey sandwich was smoky and flavorful. The burnt ends were just the right amount of burnt while still being juicy. I appreciated the super casual atmosphere and the fact that while this place was busy, it wasn't a wait in a long like type of situation. The beer situation is also super casual, just grab whatever you want from the refrigerator. As others have noted, walk extremely carefully into and out of the bathroom if you need to use it during your time here. It is super slippery, and I saw more than one person almost totally wipe out during my visit here.

I crave BBQ I love their sauces I had a combo beef and pork sandwich and fries! I love they serve real home thick cut fries!! I can never finish all of it and they warm back up great so no waste! Cool people working there. It's the small lil bbq joint the air is Smokey and your mouth waters when you step inside. They keep the whole roll of paper towels on the table and I love it! I'm a sauce girl it's the so good it's messy and you don't care ya just want that next bite!

No frills KC BBQ here, where if you look past the run down appearance you ultimately enjoy a satisfying meal. Albeit not the most health of dining experiences, the overall flavors, portions and quality here are adequate. The fried portions of the food were outstanding and involved quality ingredients. The okra was my favorite and maintained the right consistency of fried batter & okra. Beef burnt tips are a must try and although the portion contained a fair amount of fatty pieces, the portion size was adequate enough- and then some. Lastly, although there was a line, things move fast here and in-and-out under 30 min.

Deliciously fatty juicy brisket on my turkey and brisket combo sandwich. Turkey wasn't dry at all! Big portion of mixed beef and pork burnt ends for approx $18. Spicy fried green beans are unique and crunchy but not too spicy. I waited an HOUR in line because only two employees were working the line and halfway through my wait one disappeared and didn't come back, leaving one stressed and verbally obvious about it employee to deal with the line almost out the door until close. They need more staff!

The floors are slippery and the barbecue is great. What more can I say? Easily hopped to the top of my list for BBQ.

LC's is the best BBQ in KC. The backed beans are amazing and I am not a baked beans fan. The pork is delicious. Onion rings were okay. Make sure to get there early as there is always a lot of people's.

I have a cousin named Jake, and Me and Jake have spent countless days together while he's smoked and BBQ'd legendary meats. Everyone has that uncle or cousin who once or a few times a year there are get togethers that everyone will pull up to have fun but really...it's because of their mouthwatering Grill mastering meat smoking skills that everyone remembers. THATS LC's!! It's not everyday you come across BBQ like this. It's not the Gourmet restaurant whose dishes are well plated and where they make sure everything is well round (nutritional wise)....its better than that. It's the plate you fill up at a Family BBQ where you can't stop eating and you keep going back for more and more and more...the sun is out (maybe the clouds have rolled in because of the summer heat), you've probably ate 1-2lbs of brisket, ribs, and pulled pork, your off a few Cokes and Dr peppers, you've tripled back to the meats with no shame and now your sitting in a lawn chair squinting and looking around at the grass/trees/clouds/kids/water/dogs, you kinda of turn around slightly in your chair without wanting to move much because your so relaxed but you've got to keep an eye on how much meat is left and if anyone is goin back to it because you've got to pile up a mean plate to throw in the fridge for the night and next day or two... there's not a single thing you'd say was wrong with the meat but Jake or Unk or your boy thinks theres something they could've done better yet you know for a fact "bruh that's the best BBQ I've had"..... If LCs was closer I'd be here over all the others in the city no lie!!! I waiting for 30-35 mins and I would gladly I mean GLADLY do it again...actually at work right now and I'm thinking about going there right this moment!! One of the best if not The Best BBQ in the city
