"Many pieces are laced with an obscenely delicious amount of fat; there are chewy pieces and crunchy pieces; and while the ends might be dry all by themselves, LC's excellent sauce makes them sing."

Andrew Zimmern

"On the city’s east side (near Kauffman Stadium none-the-less), L.C.’s doesn’t offer much in the way of atmosphere, but this hole-in-the-wall sure knows their way around burnt ends."

Susan Manlin Katzman

"The secret to LC’s is to know what you want before you step to the counter. My recommendation is the brisket, ribs or burnt ends with either fries or beans to go on the side."

Steve Garbarino

"In the glare of neon lights, amongst a smatter of no-frills tables, feast on triple-decker burnt-ends brisket with white bread; meaty spare ribs; tender turkey and sweet BBQ beans."

Bonjwing Lee

"When Anthony Bourdain told me that he wanted his Kansas City episode of No Reservations to be the "barbecue show to end all barbecue shows," LC's was one of them."

Lisa Waterman Gray

"This is classic barbecue, from enormous sauce-doused burnt end sandwiches served on white bread to tender brisket with complex smoky flavor and crisp yet chewy burnt ends."

Jonathan Bender

"Where to Eat Barbecue in Kansas City: LC's Barbeque - The meat is juicy and tender, enrobed in crisp bark."

James Boo

"My first glorious taste of burnt ends was delivered at the hands of LC's Bar-B-Q, a relative newcomer to the barbecue capital."

Keith Stokes

"The very red sauce is thin, tangy and quite sweet. It compliments the flavorful meat quite well."

Kelly Ludwig

"The portions are impossibly huge, atop white bread for sopping up the sauce. The meat is tender, not too lean, or too fat. Its smoky goodness will linger with you all day…"
