Finally open at 553 Central Ave. in Kansas City, Kan., is Slap’s Barbecue.
A lot of people have been waiting for Slap’s to open. This is a barbecue restaurant unlike anything else I’ve ever seen. The food in my opinion is some of the best barbecue I’ve ever tasted. Believe me, I, like a lot of people in the area, have tried some good barbecue, but Slap’s is in a category all by itself.
The sauce is not too spicy nor is it too sweet. It sits on your palate nicely and the meat is not greasy, which makes Slap’s Barbecue a true winner. I had the reserve with turkey and beef. The turkey melted in my mouth; it had a light smoked flavor that was not overbearing like a lot of smoked meats are. The beef on the other hand was nice and tender. It like the turkey also melted in your mouth. The flavor was phenomenal to say the least.
As a side dish I decided to order the hush puppies. When they came out they were golden brown and very tender and their flavor was beyond comparison the best hush puppies I’ve ever had in my life. In my earlier years I grew up in the deep South and I know what good hush puppies are, after all I was raised on them. These hush puppies I had at Slap’s Barbecue brought back fond memories of my childhood when my parents would take me out to a restaurant and I would order hush puppies.
The reserve sandwich is a huge sandwich, in fact I made two meals out of it.
While I was sitting at Slap’s I overheard other customers, one even said the warm potato salad was the best they’ve ever had. I cannot wait until next time I visit to try it.
They have other sides also such as beans, cheesy corn, and coleslaw, a favorite of any barbecue enthusiast.
The pricing is excellent; you truly get a lot of food for your money.
If you want to go to a barbecue restaurant where it is clean, the service is phenomenal, the food is something you want to pray to, it is so good. It is a place where you can take the whole family.
