It seems there is a BBQ restaurant on every corner...Thank God! Odens is a great hometown BBQ joint and realistically one of the Best in KC. The burnt ends, my favorite, are great, although they have been dry on occassion. The beans are better than any I have ever had. You can't go wrong..the brisket, sausage, ham and chicken are all well above average. My family and I enjoy the Dinner for 2, serves more like 4...Burnt ends, ribs, ham, brisket, beans or coleslaw and fries....I totally recommend this, really shows off the quality of Odens. The service has always ( for over 15 years in my experience) been quick and non intrusive. Very family friendly...except there is still a smoking section..grrrrrrr. By the way...they have real sweet tea....none of that, well you can add sugar. Top it all off with free ice cream and your own bottle of chocolate syrup. Try it and you may find this a main staple.
Pros: Service, free ice cream, sweet tea, family friendly
Cons: Smoking section
