*Not* A Place To Jam

by Spoiler2010 at Citysearch

Winslow's is your best bet for dining out, drinking, and catching a Sunday Chiefs' game. If you're an aspiring musician coming in for their jam sessions, and you're NOT one of the house band's family or friends, take your time and efforts elsewhere. I waited an hour and got my guitar drowned out during two songs, then got yanked despite a great audience response. Great eats, great beer...LOUSY place to jam!!!

  • Pros: Great Food, Great Atmosphere
  • Cons: Lousy Jam Session - BEWARE!

nothing special

by crownskid at Citysearch

If you like a good spicy sauce, you'll want to pass on this place. The food was decent, but without a quality sauce to go with it I can't say I'll go back anytime soon. The staff was friendly and the place was clean, so not a bad experience.

  • Pros: no line at lunch
  • Cons: sauce was not very good

great food bad atmosphere

by italianfemmekc at Citysearch

the barbeque and staff are equally wonderful. the atmosphere left something to be desired though. im a smoker, but when i eat i hate the smell of smoke. it has very dim lighting, smoke smell, and sometimes an odd smell coming out of it. i love the barbeque they offer. i think its some of the best in kc, but i recommend getting a to go order.

  • Pros: friendly staff, great food
  • Cons: ambience

Great Smoked Food

by duranted at Citysearch

Winslow's is my favorite stop in K.C. for smoked ribs & wings. The best time to getthere is for lunch because they don't stay open very late. The ribs aresmoked perfect and meaty the beans are okay. The smoked wings are great also.

  • Pros: great ribs, great wings, clean

Beats Any BBQ Outside KC

by dickmoody at Citysearch

I never thought any KC BBQ joint would "oversmoke their meats til I tried Winslow's.

Our beef brisket was a bit over-smoked and got in the way of tasting the beef itself. Brisket itself was good quality - a bit reminiscent of Arthur Bryants and also of Gates too. Beans were same way too. Fries were good compliment though and overall ambiance was good. It makes for an average KC BBQ joint in my opinion. Of course, remember, the worst KC BBQ joint still beats anything else in the USA! Ya hear that Memphis? <grin>

  • Pros: Atmosphere, Clean, Food quality
  • Cons: Oversmoked meats, location
