"We were looking for some good authentic Kansas City barbecue, and it was a Sunday, so several places were closed. We decided to try Smokehouse Barbecue because they were open. Everything was excellent, although my husband's pulled pork sandwich was on the dry side. That, of course, was an easy fix when all you need to do is add more authentic Kansas City barbecue sauce. I ordered the burnt ends, which in my opinion, is the best way to enjoy authentic barbecue and the beans were excellent! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a gorgeous stained glass oval in the ceiling. I would like to give a shout-out to our waiter. I don't remember his name, but he was a young man. He was new there, and he was excellent! He was so helpful in explaining menu items, was very attentive to our needs, and he had such a sweet and gentle disposition which helped immensely in providing us with a pleasurable dining experience! He should be recognized. The shift was Sunday, August 14, just before closing. We sat in the middle of the restaurant, directly in line with the door, table of 3."
