Tangy sauce that some swear is the best in town, unbelievably good fries, and ribs that fall off the bone -- just another KC barbecue joint, right? Well, yes and no. The truth is, Kansas Citians are spoiled by a wealth of great barbecue places. But LC's is special: It's an unpretentious, tiny little place where you're likely to have LC, the pitmaster himself, serve you dinner. LC's is considered by many to be the modern-day Arthur Bryant's, meaning that despite its current unassuming stature, it will be legendary some day. A few people complain about slow service and a not-so-clean dining area, but those are the same folks who aren't easily satisfied by tender, smoked turkey sandwiches served with spicy sauce and a side of meaty, smoky baked beans. They're the ones who are likely to overlook the merits of LC's kitchen-made sausage or smoked chicken halves. Skittish barbecue lovers should send envoys into LC's for takeout, lest they miss one of KC's best barbecue meals. One thing patrons can agree on is that the price is right. -- Anna Foote

  • Good Old fashion BBQ

    Review rating : 4out of 5   oldmankc2 - 02/10/2006

    I thought they had bbq beans to die for. the ribs weren't bad and the sauce had a destinct flavor. As to the staff, nothing out of stood out. In regards to being rude I think Gate's employee's at the 40 highway location are about the rudest. Myself love the "old time" atmosphere and can do without the bar/music/lights and just want good bbq

    I'm not sure how/why this place came up 7th on the list of best BBQ. I've tried it (the one on 95th) twice and both times it was mediocre quality and fairly expensive for what you get.

  • Best BBQ in town

    Review rating : 5out of 5   roneevans - 06/17/2005

    Having tried bbq from all over the country , its nice to know that we have one of the best ever right here in kc. LC's give us what BBQ joints are all about. Not a huge chain of fast food bbq like we see in many of the bbq restraunts today. LC's is a true KC BBQ JOINT, nothing fancy, just slow cooked bbq at its best. Huge portions and great wedge cut fries and slow smoked beans . In Kc where sauce is king, LC holds his own with his spicy blend. If you have not tried it GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you have a bad expierence, let LC know , he is know for making things right and keeping his customers satisfied...

    Review rating : 4out of 5   pjcj11400 - 11/16/2004

    The food is unbelieveable!!! the best I've had in a long time, maybe as good as Bryants, and I don't think anyone will ever top them, The proprieter is a gem, but the counter help is rude and snotty, : ( and that my friends is why LC's will never be #1.

    The people working in this dump should realize its' the customers paying their salary. They need to clean up their act and their place of business.

  • Overpriced

    This establishment is a sleeping giant... One day LC's will be legendary. LC truly has the secret method to the best barbeque! Whenever I visit KC, LC's is my last stop on the way out. I buy the meat and sauce in QUANTITY and pack it in ice chests for the trip home! If you try it once... you will be addicted!
