Wolfpack BBQ & Burgers

Every time I come to Kansas City to visit my kids I try to eat at establishments we have not eaten at yet. And of course Kansas City is known for its barbecue so we are always on the hunt for great BBQ places. This was such a gem and I'm so glad we went. Next time my husband is with me we will go again. The location was perfect, there was a free parking lot, our server was great, loved the atmosphere and vibe of the place. And of course, the food. I was not disappointed with what we ordered. I wish I had taken my phone into the bathroom with me because even the bathroom was cool! I look forward to going again! Highly recommend!!

Wolfepack BBQ is a Kansas City standout, delivering an exceptional barbecue experience. A major highlight is that they use **Creekstone Halal meat**, making their delicious menu accessible to halal diners without compromising on quality or flavor. The **wagu brisket** was phenomenal—juicy, tender, and packed with smoky goodness. The **Kurds** were a delightful treat, the **loaded fries** were indulgent and flavorful, and the **white cheddar mac** was creamy, rich, and utterly satisfying. Service was top-notch; our waiter was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great dining experience. The restaurant also offers plenty of seating, and the welcoming ambiance adds to the charm, making it perfect for families, friends, or casual gatherings. If you’re in Kansas City, Wolfepack BBQ is a must-visit. Their commitment to using **Creekstone Halal meat** and serving up amazing barbecue makes them a cut above the rest!

It was our first time trying an American style Bbq, and it was good. They do provide halal creekstone farms sliced brisket, and that is the only item that is halal on the menu. The staff was friendly and provided quick service. We Ordered- 2 Meat plates, breakdown is given below, Sliced Brisket(creekstone farms)- 7/10 We do prefer a bit more spice, but the taste of the crust was good, and it would have been better if the spice had infused throughout the meat rather than just sitting on the top. I wish it was a little more juicy. It came out a little cold and tough to chew. Also I wish there was more meat for the price. Sides- Potato Slad- 9/10 Lemon pepper slaw-6/10, I would skip this if I go next time. Onion rings- 10/10, they do charge extra for this. French Fries-10/10 We wanted corn elote, but they were all out of corn. The sauce they had on the table was delicious. Overall, it was a good first experience, but I don't know if it is worth the money or if I would be going back.

24 hours later, I sit in solitude and quiet reverence remembering the single best plate of barbecue I've had in Kansas City. Wolfepack BBQ is the REAL DEAL. This is the Q I have been looking for. I went in for lunch on a Saturday about 3 PM. I wanted to catch the sweet spot between the lunch, rush and dinner. They frequently run out of food at dinner. That can be frustrating, as the first time we came we were turned away because they had just run out of everything after a large party came in with no notice and cleaned them out. However, that was actually encouraging to me because it tells me they don't hold food over from day to day and they make everything fresh daily, which the manager confirmed with me. That's how you have barbecue at this astronomical level consistently. It is the only way. So go early in the day if you want more selection. However, on this particular Saturday, they had everything I wanted, which was beef burnt ends (only available on Friday and Saturday), pork ribs, and brisket. I always have to try the beans and I asked the server whether he would recommend the lemon pepper coleslaw or country style potato salad. He said probably the coleslaw so that's what I got. He suggested it might be lighter with a three meat dinner. Well, I tried the beans first because that's one of my favorite things and beans have to be good for it to be a decent barbecue restaurant. These beans were slightly sweeter than I wanted them to be but otherwise perfect. They are the best beans I've had in Kansas City. (Joe's and Zarda are spots 2 & 3) The coleslaw was very nice and very different. I usually have to keep coleslaw for the end of the meal like a dessert because it's so sweet. But this one has lovely pepper and some vinegar so the acid is wonderful to cut the sweetness of the beans and the barbecue sauce. This is really special. I started off with a taste of the brisket, which was cut thicker as I prefer. It was very tender, but a little bit dry. Also, it wasn't cooked quite long enough because it was a little tough due to the fact that the muscle fibers weren't separating when you pulled on the brisket. So it just needs to be finished at a little bit higher temperature, like 205. The flavor was excellent and it had a really good mouth feel. I can't say this is the best brisket in town, but it's certainly among the top five. Next, I tried the spare ribs. I was blown away by these! When I was trying to decide which three meats to have the server piped up and said oh, you have to try the ribs. I found them to be perfectly cooked with great crust on both sides not cooked so long that they shrink away from the end of the bone. The pull of the bite was absolutely perfect. They had just a tiny bit of sauce on them at the end. So they weren't cloyingly sweet or any kind of burnt sauce flavor. They were really perfection. I would put them 1st or 2nd in town with Chef J being the other. Now to the real star of the show! Kansas City is known for burnt ends and you can get them lots of places here in town and they're usually just okay or even not that great. Slaps, Joe's, Q39 and even LC usually have pretty good burnt ends. Wolfepack BBQ is the GOAT. These burnt ends were perfectly crispy. The fat to meat ratio was spot on, and they were cooked absolutely perfectly. I never got any bite that was crunchy like an almond. Or mushy like baked eggplant. These were perfectly in the zone and perfectly flavored. As if touched by the finger of God Himself. If you're there on a Friday or Saturday, this should be your go to. Please leave some for me. The service here is excellent! You are greeted as soon as you walk in and told to sit anywhere you like. I love that. There's a great bar and the bartender was spot on the day. I was there. He was very friendly and kind. Great stories! When my friends come to town, I now have a new place to take them for great barbecue. Just make sure it's not too late for dinner. UPDATE: I returned a week later and the brisket was perfection. Absolutely amazing!! Ask for Jenny!

First time trying this place and definitely won't be the last. I think they have the best ribs in town. All the meats were fantastic, the sides were ok. We ordered burnt ends but when it was pointed out to me that they were pork belly I instantly changed my mind. I prefer beef burnt ends. So my dude got the pork belly burnt ends and brisket, I got ribs and pulled pork, my daughter got ribs and fries. Before I finished my meal the worker man came over and told me they just pulled beef burnt ends off the smoker, I WAS SO EXCITED!!! How the rest of the meat was tender and perfectly smoked I had to order myself some beef burnt ends to go. The service was excellent and I can't wait to go back!!!

Awesome meal. Best Brisket is have had in KC. Thick cut similar to what ive seen in Texas. Ribs, burnt ends and sausage were great too. Sides were fine but nothing crazy but that doesn't matter when all the meats are great. Sauce was a little sweet for my taste but that's very subjective. Very cool location and we had great service. Will definitely be back!

I enjoyed Wolfpack, service was excellent and I mean excellent! Food was pretty good for KC style bbq. The loaded fries were pretty damn good. I was not impressed with their bbq sauce though, not my favorite. Mac and cheese was on point and the brisket sandwich was tender and juicy! Would I tell all my friends and family about eh, it was descent. All in all 7.2 out of 10.

This was such a friendly, chill vibe on Saturday afternoon. I’ve had a LOT of loaded fries in my life and these were HANDS DOWN the best. My partner had the Philly pulled pork which was also 🔥! The nostalgia, the atmosphere, the service, the food: this is my new favorite spot!! 😍

Now… I’m going to try not to sound too biased here and I’m sorry in advance if you don’t feel the same way as me… but this place is a VIBE. This is THE spot. I tried other places around town, and I’m shocked this isn’t on anyone list of “got to try”…. This place was 5 miles from my hotel and I WILL be back…. Let’s start off with the service.. you walk in and Ryan gives you a warm welcome followed by a sit anywhere you like. I chose the bar, cause it was a long day of work. I started with a beer and Ryan offered tasters to see if I liked anything. Nailed it. I was undecided between the three meat plate or three meat sandwich… so Ryan offered a bun with my three meat plate.. PERFECT. I thought the star of the show was the jalepeno sausage… until I tried the brisket… and then the pulled pork… let’s start with the sausage.. big chunks of cheese inside, which is amazing! The flavor and snap of the skin… was perfect…. Next, the brisket… literally fell apart.. the flavor, texture and overall visual appeal was on point…. Let’s not forget the pulled pork… the best I’ve ever had… I thought I had ate a piece of fat because it me Ted in my mouth… but bite after bite, I realized that it was that tender… juicy… melt in your mouth… just wow…. So next i moved to the cowboy baked beans… and I have to say… I’ve never had beans with so much Smokey flavor… I’m in love. They are incredible. Last but not least, the atmosphere… I’m an older fella… 43….. and the feel of this place was just perfect… from the music to the vibe, I loved it. All kinds of great music playing and you can still hear your conversations. I really love this place, and I know you will too. Wow. I’ll be back.. thanks for one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. EDIT: Came back again… because let’s be honest… this place is the BEST. Had to come back and try the beef burnt ends… and I was NOT disappointed…. This place is fantastic. If I live here, this would be a weekly MUST. Great service, great food and great atmosphere.

Went in for dinner on a Saturday night in fall and it was not very busy. We were seated immediately and were able to order cocktails. We ordered the 3 meat plate to share between us and with an order of onion rings. We chose the pork belly burnt ends, turkey breast and pulled pork. Wanted the sausage but they were sold out. For sides we had the slaw and Mac and cheese. The slaw had a sweetness to it, maybe nutmeg or cinnamon in it and it was really good. Onion rings order was a big serving and they were tasty with red onions used. The food was good. Servers were friendly. With two cocktails, and the plate and appetizer it was $85 including tax and tip. Reasonably priced. Good BBQ for KC.
