Our Take
The Spot
Chef J BBQ smokes its meats over real hickory wood and hand-slices to order, offering brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, ribs, sausage, and turkey by the pound, plate, platter, or sandwich. Every order comes with house-pickled vegetables, bread, and a trio of house-made barbecue sauces.

Sides run through hickory pit beans, bacon and blue potato salad, smoked elotes, chipotle slaw, cucumber salad, and mac and cheese, with a Chef J banana pudding for dessert. Brisket, burnt ends, and elote are the dishes that come up most often among regulars. The spot operates out of The Beast at 13th Street in Downtown Kansas City.
