A Weekly Stop by Jennifer H. at InsiderPages

They've got the best fries in town! A group of us from work stop by every Thursday for a quick and inexpensive lunch. Many times we order to go when we're working the weekend. Rosedale's ranks high on my favorite BBQ restaurants list.

Heard a lot about it.

The meat without the sauce was flat with no rub or sauce. Tasted like it was cooken in an oven.

To me any BBQ meat should be great just the way it is. Tasty with smoke and spices

After drowning it with thier good sauce, it was passable.

If you eat in, you better know where to get your own ice and cup. Your drink is a 20oz bottle of pop.

The price for 3 sandwitches, 3 pops and fries was $19.00

• Pros: Plenty of meat. Fries are average
• Cons: Meat tasted like it came out of an oven.

Better Down The Road..

by CSMobileUser at Citysearch

Not even close to the best in KC. The guys that run the show are getting older and things have changed alot from the past. The meat is dry and the fries are rarely crispy. Service is not bad, but kind of depends on what time of day you are in. The ribs seem to be tough sometimes. I reccomend Quicks BBQ down the road on Merriam lane. They have everything that Rosedale has, at better quality.

exceptional service and food

by newtona at Citysearch

We really can't speak highly enough about every facet of the dealings we had with Rosedale Barbeque when planning the catering for our wedding. Everything they planned and carried out seemed to go without a hitch and the staff were also impeccable. We have had nothing but a good experience in our dealings with Rosedale's staff and will have no hesitation in either recommending or using "Rosedale Barbeque" in the future. I really could go on and on...

• Pros: Professional Service, and very thorough

Kansas City's Best!

by treehugr at Citysearch

I am a past time Kansas City Resident currently living in Des Moines, and recently came back after five years to visit family. Rosedale's was my first stop and as wonderful as I remember it. I actually ate there seven times in two weeks to ensure I got my fill and took home a bottle of sauce and had three slabs wrapped for travel. I asked if they would ever consider moving to Des Moines as there is no bbq joint there that even resembles this true bbq treasure! LOVE IT!!!!!

• Pros: Sauce and Ribs Blues on The Radio
• Cons: N/A

It was not all that.

by casualsuede at Citysearch

While I am not a stickler for atmosphere, if you are a hole in the wall, you better make it up with the food. I ordered the baby back ribs and they were not very good. They were fairly tough and had little sauce. The beans weren't bad, but I've had better. The fries were good, but you could tell they were frozen. However, they fry them longer, making them have better taste.

I have to admit, while I was not a huge fan of Arthur's, I found them to be better.

• Pros: Good fries
• Cons: Disappointing ribs

best bbq in kansas city

by jackson58 at Citysearch

ive been going to rosedale for 33 years since i got out of the service ive tried gates and bryants and either one can stand up to rosedale. i go at least twice a month the food is cook just perfectly the french fried mushrooms are great and what can you say about the fries. my wife loves the combo ham and beef which is done to perfection. the ribs are so tender that the meat falls off the bone. no other bbq place in town that gives you tremendous service and the sauce is also the best. cant beat the prices. the help is extremely pleasant and always treats the custtomers perfect. will always continue to go there. now my sons take there friends to rosedale also.

• Pros: everything is thumbs up
• Cons: there is none

Rib Tickling

by pana1 at Citysearch

If you are within an hour drive of this Kansas City establishment make some time to go! The ribs are the best (they only serve pork!) They are moist, tender and meaty. We ordered them without the sauce...you can add it at the table if you want it is unique in that it is not like the traditional sweet kansas city sauce. It is also fast and the staff is efficient! The flavor of the sausage is also wonderful. Gotta have some fries too!

• Pros: Value, Fast Service, Unique sauce
• Cons: Need more historical items...more photos, articles, signs,etc....

Great catering Too!!!!!!

by foodmeister2 at Citysearch

This place is great! Not only do we eat here all the time but we use them to cater all our family events. It's so easy. They provide everything; food, paper products,forks, spoons and knives. You can't buy and fix a meal for an event for any less money and the food is fabulous. Everyone raves about the baked potato salad and calls before the next event to make sure we order it again. We even order extra so we have left overs for the week, but we have to make sure to put is away before everyone comes or it will all be gone!

• Pros: Catering, great food and includes everything!
• Cons: Can't think of anything

Rib Tickling Good!

by woolybully at Citysearch

We Ordered a $19.00 slab for a family of four along with the suggested Baked Potato Salad (great suggestion) The ribs were quickly devoured and we ordered another to eat there and one to take home. The meat was tender and fall of the bone and the sauce was unusual and very good I also took home a bottle of the sauce. I have to say this was a place that came highly recommended and I would pass this recommendation on to those out of town visitors or KC people who want great barbeque without having to pay steakhouse prices! Try the Cheesy Baked Potatoes they are great!
