Smoke Daddy’s Review of Winslows City Market Barbecue
The rib, pork, and sauce were the best of the bunch today (well, and the bar – beers were quite tasty).
MAIN FARE:
- Brisket – Smoky smell / Smoky taste. Hickory, with a touch of bitterness. Not sliced too thin (like many KC joints), but still a bit dry today.
- Rib – Tender, juicy, and comes off the bone with the slightest tug. Also very smoky. Best of the day so far (3rd stop).
- Burnt Ends – Very smoky, as you would expect… with some bitterness. Not served pre-sauced. A mixture of chewy and tender meat morsels.
- Sausage – Salty, but not too greasy. Firm texture, and yes, smoky.
- Pork – Tender and moist. Smooth and sweet. Second piece was a bit drier and more chewy.

OTHER FARE:
- Beans – Sweet & Meaty. Nice balance of spices. Good.
- Potato Salad – Tangy and mildly sweet.
- Slaw – Crunchy, sweet, and tangy. Nice.
- Fries – Nice crunchy coating on the fries.
- Regular Sauce – Heavy brown sugar up front. Fairly good, but standard.
- Spicy Sauce – Less brown sugar, more spice.
ATMOSPHERE:
- City Market area is nice
- Large (empty) patio area seats 300
- From the street, we walk into an empty bar area
- 15-20 customers in the dining room @ 1:30pm.
- Comfortable dining area, but we opt to order at the bar
- T-Shirt: "We Smoke Anything in Kansas City"
- Weird: Why do I smell pizza in a barbecue restaurant?
