Jockey Club Bar & BBQ

Best bang for the buck around. The BBQ was on point and easily stood up against the top 3 in the city. Even the side dishes blew us away with flavor, especially the coleslaw. Would give a 12 out of 10 if we could!

This is one of those hole in the wall that is really good! I had the Gateway sandwich and boy let me tell you what! That was one of the tastiest bbq sandwiches I’ve had. They gave me regular and spicy sauce and think they may have mixed up the lids. The regular was spicy and the spicy had a tangy delicious flavor with no heat. Tim and the other worker were nice and friendly. I will definitely be back with the wife and friends.

I have only been to KC twice, and had BBQ both times. Both places were good and I'm looking forward to the next visit. When we were brought to this place with another 8 guys, I was not expecting much. However, they said it had good food and we didn't want anything fancy. I thought that as long as the food was tasty, I would be happy. The first thing I noticed was that the prices were much lower than I expected for a good BBQ joint. Beer was much less per bottle than I expected and the bartender was quick to get us a couple of buckets. I ordered the Smoked Irishman, which has smoked corned beef brisket and Swiss cheese on the typical rye with sauerkraut and thousand Island dressing. I opted for cole slaw as my one side. Keep in mind that this place is only about 800 sf of seating. And that's taken up a little by the bar area. However, the bartender was able to get us taken care of throughout, and the food came in a reasonable amount of time from the large order. The sandwich was great. The corned beef tasted like it should, and not overly smoky. I was very pleased with the cole slaw. It was neither too tangy nor too sweet. It was exactly the way I wanted it. The portions of each were just right and I walked away fully satiated. They have a simple system for distinguishing the BBQ sauces that are in ketchup squeeze bottles. The two options written on top in marker: "R" or "S". I'll leave it as a surprise for the reader to figure out what each stands for. The BBQ sauce that I went with was tangy and had a good peppery spice to it that built with each bite. It has the ubiquitous KC sweet, but with some tang and I eventually put some on my 2nd sandwich half. It all went together very well and I'd have it again. The guy running the place and taking care of all 10 of us did a great job. The food was very good. And I wish I lived around here to go back to enjoy the good drink prices. More of a 4.5⭐ for me.

The meat and spicy sauce were so flavorful! I couldn't get over how tender everything was too. Donna and Tim were so kind and everyone there was super friendly. Looking forward to coming back through for some wonderful bbq and kind hearted folk

This place was AWESOME! Best barbecue! Fun atmosphere of locals. Tim, the owner is personable and smokes great meats. We stopped here traveling across country. Made a note to definitely come back when we’re in KC.

Update, have been back twice so far! Everything still stands. Consistently great! You’ve got to give this place a try. I was working in the area. Called and ordered carry out, gal on the phone was super nice. Got the combo sandwich with brisket and pulled pork and a side of cheesy corn. Pulled pork was outstanding, possibly the best I’ve ever had. The brisket was average, nothing spectacular about it. But it was still good. The barbecue sauce sauce was good. The Cheesy corn was great. Gentleman behind the counter back in the kitchen, was a nice guy. Reminds of a place I’d find back home in Oklahoma when I was a kid in a small town. I didn’t mention the price. While everybody else is price gouging, their price is great for the value you receive. $10 for a big sandwich and a side. You can’t beat that anywhere else. I’ll be back for sure. Heck, I may even stop back tomorrow for lunch while I’m working.

The food at The Jockey Club is over the top with flavor and the portions are not small! We had wings, brisket, the cheddar corn and cold slaw and OH MY WORD-delicious! The owners are super friendly and greeted each customer personally that walked in.

Just tried the Jockey Club after reading some online reviews. I didn't even know they served food. The pulled pork sandwich and potato salad was excellent. Some of the best I've had. Prices are very reasonable and staff was very cordial and welcoming. I'll definitely be back?
