A Tradition of Smoke & Soul- At Wyandot Barbeque, we believe that great BBQ isn't just made- it's earned. Since 1977, we've been keeping the fires burning and the community fed with the same honest approach to food that started it all nearly five decades ago.
-The Way BBQ Should Be- While the world around us has changed, our process hasn't. We believe in the power and the distinct, deep flavor that only comes from smoking our meats over real hickory & oak woods. Every rack of ribs, every brisket, and every cut of pork is slow cooked to perfection, soaking up that signature wood-fired aroma until its tender enough to melt in your mouth.
Famous Dave’s in Kansas City (notably the 1320 Village West Pkwy and Zona Rosa locations) serves a wide range of BBQ favorites, including ribs, brisket, chopped pork, wings, combos, feasts, appetizers, burgers, salads, and family-style meals.
