Zarda's BBQ Restaurant

Been wanting to try this place for a while but honestly was a little disappointed. BBQ was decent but not worth almost $19 for lunch. Wasn’t very hot when I got it and flavor was mediocre at best. Sides were pretty good though and service was fast

Zarda never disappoints me and my recent visit was no exception. I ordered the rib plate with two sides, so I chose wedges and cheesy corn. When I received my order, I was pleasantly surprised at the new plates and side dishes. They just added to the dining experience. My ribs were tender, my fries were cooked to golden perfection and my cheesy corn was exceptional. My friend joined us and this was his first Zarda experience and needless to say, he became a fan as well. Will definitely return in the near future.

I love Zarda. The meats are juicy and great flavor. The sauce and sides are also good. Usually you have to sacrifice one in a BBQ place but this one has it all right.Food: 5/5

Get the Hog Wild. Wedge Fries. Try all the sauces. If you're having a bad day. Come here & you'll feel better. It's one of the best in KC!Food: 5/5

I’m a bbq snob. And Zarda is a good as they come. My personal favorites are their ribs and burnt ends. And the turkey. And the . . . Sorry, I’m realizing I like a lot there! The sides are also fantastic. My wife and I have different side picks so you will need to try them to find yours. So pick something that sounds good and have some great food!

Some of the best BBQ I have had in a long time. Great smoke, great flavor. Incredible home made sauces. Great job guys !! We will be backFood: 5/5

This is one of my first introductions to KC BBQ. I came here with some friends who are from the area and they were able to steer me in the right direction in terms of what dish to get Limited reserve burnt ends. I thought that the food was really good, but probably not the best barbecue that I’ve had. The sides were pretty good as well. I felt as though the sandwiches needed barbecue sauce added to them, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the barbecue sauce could have been a little better. I would definitely return here for some barbecue, though, and found Zarda quite enjoyable.

Ordered take out. Staff was extremely friendly while we waited for our order to finish. Was looking forward to our meal, but the taste was just okay. I had the pork burnt ends, and other members in my party had the ribs, the sweet carolina sandwich, and the limited reserve burnt ends. With the exception of the limited reserve burnt ends, the food wasn't anything special. Now, those burnt ends on the other hand, which I did taste, were fabulous! They had such a nice flavor. If you are to eat at Zarda, just order the limited reserve burnt ends!

7/2/23 Been here for many years. Not sure why iv never posted a review before. Dinner 9pm I don't get the same thing because everything is great. Today I took the in-laws from TX to a local BBQ place and they loved it. Got the Sunday rib special. Two meat mix plate of sausage and pork burn-ins. Wife got the kids combo of Sides-BBQ beans, cowboy potatoes, white mac and cheese, fries and cheesy corn. Everything was great. Ribs wasn't as fresh as we was late for dinner. But wasn't fatty and greasy like most places. Always good food. Friendly people clean restaurant. They have two kinds of sauces. Original and sweet and tangy. I enjoy a spicy but that's ok. They don't taste like vinegar so no worries there. If you never tried this place, it's a good locally founded establishment. I've had other places it's not up to par. Especially coming in late for dinner. Everyone knows BBQ is fresh for lunch.

At first I thought the cashier was being rude, then I remembered that I had never been to this place before, and she didn't know that. All in all, I thought the food was excellent, the family atmosphere was appealing, and the price point was amazing for the order I bought to test. Thumbs up! Not everyone is a repeat customer.... Sometimes new patrons need to look at what's offered before deciding to order. Don't rush the sale!
