Smokin' Guns

Written by Leann Pettit

Smokin' Guns, an unassuming, but amazingly delicious, barbecue joint has very fast service, friendly wait staff and very tasty food.

We ordered the "Triple D Platter" - which included turkey, brisket and burnt ends and is served with two sides (we ordered the mac and cheese bites and the potato casserole).

On the tables, Smokin' Guns provided their original house sauce, a spicy sauce (the spiciest of the spicy sauces we tasted in town) and a dry rub.

The turkey was very moist, but a little on the bland side, however, was delicious in the dry rub, which  brought out the turkey's smoky flavor.

The burnt ends were dark, incredibly moist without being overly fatty. They were delicious on their own, but also tasty in both sauces and dipped in the dry rub. The burnt ends at Smokin' Guns were the best we tried in Kansas City.

The brisket was on the drier side, I wouldn't order it again.

All of the meat at Smokin' Guns was served dry and diners could add their own sauce. The restaurant is also very well lit with lots of seating.
