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

    Rosedales shouldn't even be on the list of best BBQ in KC. The meat tastes like it has been boiled and has a consistency of a spit wad.. The sauce has no flavor. A couple of people from Kansas that I work with like it, but everybody else agrees that it is terrible.

    I got a Combo Dinner Special to go today w beef and ribs. the beef was 95% shredded meat. I called to express this was the first time I had ever gotten such low quality at the restaurant. I was told by Chris the manager this is the way they do beef dinners now. I will not be back.

    I went to Oklahoma joes but since the line was too long decided to give Rosedale another try, There was hardly a soul in the place, I could sense the tension between the waitress and th cook, I experienced real slow service and the food was extreamly dry with sauce being too hot. It didn't take long to figure why there was no customers in the place. When I got ready to leave the waitress ignored me and the cook took payment from me , First time I ever stiffed the waitress on the tip, Too bad Rosedale was at one time one of the best places to get BBQ. Will stick with my favorite BBQ Joint Quicks in Armordale across the street from Bicklemiers butcher shop

  • Its better then....

    I like it better then Gates but its as dry as gates at time if they only take it out 20 mins early it would do great and if they put burned ends on a bun they should be able to put it on Bread and they don't know how..Gee

  • Good Stuff

    The best BBQ in KC. Short-end ribs are perfect. Smoked brisket is also quite good. Sauce is tasty. Be warned though - this is a hardcore BBQ joint. It's not some BBQ-themed chain restaurant serving lowest-common-denominator BBQ-like comfort food. Come to eat real BBQ or don't come at all.
