What our guests are saying

We have been customers for over 5 years now and they have been consistently delivering the best quality. Ribs are definitely suggested.

A great go-to when you want good barbecue. The food is always consistent, even when lunch or dinner rush is occurring. I have yet to have a dish that was not a good choice. Ordering pick up is simple for those nights you don't feel like eating in. A great family run establishment that maintains quality and service! Their BBQ is the original best in the area in many ways, along with other early places, but being near us in Grandview are our favorite. Love the bbq, beans

It had been awhile since I'd eaten here but definitely left full of excellent food and a promise to not wait so long between visits!!!

Belton's pit, Kansas City's pride

Snead's has been smoking real hickory-pit barbecue in Belton, Missouri since the 1950s — no shortcuts, no apologies, no plans to change. This is where Kansas City comes to eat.
