Jones Bar-B-Q Menu

Jones Bar-B-Q at 6706 Kaw Dr in Kansas City, Kansas, is a no-frills destination for traditional Kansas City barbecue made for hearty lunches and casual gatherings. The menu focuses on smoked brisket, pork, turkey, ham, ribs, rib tips, burnt ends, and house-made sausage, served as sandwiches, plates, platters, or by the pound. Classic sides include baked beans, coleslaw, and potato salad, with soft drinks and bottled water available.

Homemade sausage is one of the restaurant’s signature specialties, while ribs, brisket, burnt ends, and rib tips remain among the most praised choices. The Combo Plate is especially useful for sampling two meats in one meal.

Published menu prices remain approachable, with sandwiches around $9, a Burnt End Plate around $9, and a two-meat Combo Plate around $13. Larger platters offer strong value for sharing. Slow-smoked meats, rich bark, juicy interiors, creamy sides, and Jones’ sweet-and-tangy barbecue sauce create a classic balance of smoke, sweetness, salt, and acidity.

Vegetarian options are limited mainly to sides, and no dedicated gluten-free menu is published, so dietary needs should be confirmed directly. The restaurant is family-friendly and well suited to takeaway and groups.

Because service is concentrated around midday and often ends when food sells out, Jones Bar-B-Q is best for lunch, early afternoon meals, road-trip stops, family outings, and casual group dining rather than breakfast or dinner.

Menu Highlights

• Burnt Ends – Brisket ends are smoked until deeply caramelized, then chopped into tender, richly flavored pieces. Their smoky bark and juicy interior make them one of Kansas City barbecue’s most distinctive specialties.

• Homemade Sausage – Jones’ sausage is made with a house blend of seasonings and spices. The savory filling and smoky exterior make it one of the restaurant’s defining signature items.

• Pork Ribs – Ribs are slow-smoked until tender, developing a flavorful crust around juicy meat. They are among the most consistently praised dishes and a strong choice for first-time visitors.

• Combo Plate – Two barbecue meats are served with a side, allowing diners to compare options such as brisket, pork, sausage, ribs, or burnt ends. Its variety makes it one of the best-value ways to explore the menu.

• Brisket Sandwich – Sliced smoked beef is piled generously onto bread or a bun and paired naturally with Jones’ barbecue sauce. Tender meat and deep smoke flavor make it a classic Kansas City lunch.

• Rib Tips – Meaty rib ends offer a chewy-tender texture with plenty of smoky, savory flavor. Their rich edges and concentrated barbecue character make them a favorite among regulars.

• Jones Baked Beans – Slow-cooked beans provide a sweet, savory, and smoky side that complements the richer meats. Their soft texture and barbecue seasoning make them a natural partner for ribs or brisket.
