Of course, in KC, BBQ is king! So, our usual list of favorites include ones that have been around for decades. But, this new spot in Shawnee has great BBQ, but also amazing sides! Mac n Cheese, thin onion straws, bourbon baked beans and fabulous grilled and seasoned corn on the cob. So, for a little something different we love this place.
