For nearly 70 years, Rosedale Barbeque has been serving a steady stream of customers with its own brand of slow-cooked Kansas City barbecue. Those in the know consider Rosedale's to be one of Kansas City's top smokehouses, and every day crowds made up of suits and blue-collar workers flock through the doors for the lunch special -- a sandwich, fries and a soda for less than $5. The slow-cooked ribs, smothered in Rosedale's famous, tangy sauce, also draw attention from barbecue lovers. For the uninitiated, there are always a few items on the menu that don't get slow-cooked the Rosedale way. Everyone seems to enjoy the casual experience of Rosedale's, too. There's definitely no pretense here. It's all about the food. -- Scott Cotter

  • Value and Taste!

    Review rating : 5out of 5   OverlNaughty - 01/14/2009

    This is a place to get the best of both ...taste and value! The sauce has a very different and distinct taste that is different from any others in town and my personal favorite. I think they have some of the best fries anywhere and I like their combo or belt buster sandwich where you can choose two or three meats on a sandwich. I like the pulled pork , beef , and sausage. And it's one of the only places to get an RC cola. The wait staff is fast and efficent and several have been there for years. I travel about 40 minutes to get there and wouldn't go anywhere else.

    I grew up on Rosedale's BBQ. As a kid in the 60s, my Dad had a nearby business to the restaurant and we were regulars especially before hitting the Boulevard Drive-In. I have always used the memories of the ribs, sliced bread, sauce and sliced dill chips as a measure to be compared to. The old neon beer lights on the walls and Patsy Cline on the jukebox. They even once smoked a raccoon for Dad and his pals... obviously wasn't on the menu. Based on reading the listed comments, it might be a toss of the coin if the food can compare to yesteryear's standards. But whenever I get back to KC, I'll give it a shot.
