We were passing through Kansas City and wanted to try something local that was good. We googled popular places in KC and this one was listed along with others from a Food Network TV article. I read the reviews and decided to try it out. We had been driving for a few hours so we used the restrooms first and I'll tell you not to judge the food by the restrooms like I almost always do. I just think if the restrooms are sketchy then how is the food handling going to be any better. Nonetheless, after nearly slipping and sliding on the old school bathroom floors we ordered a BBQ Brisket Burnt End Sandwich and split it between my wife and I since it was a lot of food for one person. The Burnt ends were very satisfying, Onion rings were very good. Being from Arizona we like ranch dressing on our Onion Rings and they didn't have any. The BBQ sauces were good. They had three to choose from. The service was good even though some of the people working there didn't look too thrilled to be there but they did the job well and were polite. Overall cleanliness of the restaurant was probably 7 out of 10, 10 being Best. But I threw all that out the window since the food was good and we said a prayer on it. :)
