Reviews for Zarda Bar-B-Q in Blue Springs, MO
I hate to leave bad reviews. BUT I ordered here last weekend (10/16/22} and it was plain awful. I was in town for the weekend,... had read reviews and was excited to try it. Ouch! No. I ordered a burnt ends sandwich, sides of baked beans and potato salad. I had time to taste test their sauces and really liked the bold and spicy so asked for that in my to go bag. I got that. Ioriginally told them that I was staying in a hotel so would need flatware. Didn't get any. What I got was my sandwich, beansand coleslaw. Two bites of the sandwich (actually just the burnt ends) so dry and fatty, I almost choked to death. Doused itheavily with the sauce, did nothing so I threw it out. Service-wise, it was ok. The kid I had was in training, not a big dealbut he wasn't getting much help. Hopefully it was just a bad night for them but it's one I surely will NOT repeat! Read more
I first ate here when I was visiting UMKC as a high school graduate from St. Louis. My pops and I stopped in on the way back to... STL, food was great! This was back in 2012. Low and behold, I moved to Blue Springs last year, pretty wild, now my wife and Iare local to this establishment and it's still yummy as ever. Thanks for remaining consistently delicious all these years! Read more
Food was so good and larger portion for the price compared to other KC BBQ staples. Inside is really nice with the new remodel.... Sauces are all VERY good. I'll be back more often! Read more
Back in May, we had employed Zarda to cater our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. I think there were around 60 people there. The... young lady that came set up the catering and was ready for people to go through the line right on time. We had pulled pork,turkey, baked beans, cheesy potatoes, and salad. The young lady that set up the food line was very courteous and professional. Plus the food was good too. I wished I had ordered twice as much cheesy potatoes, there were none left! Read more
The food is amazing. True Kansas City BBQ. Service was fast, the employees are pleasant and accommodating when you search... them out. The only issue that I had was having to interrupt personal conversation to get assistance, and I would prefer toorder from my table, rather than at the counter. Read more
Up from San Antonio In Kansas City for a Chiefs game. (Chiefs won) and I always try to eat at a different BBQ place each time I... visit. This time it was Zarda BBQ in Blue Springs just outside Independence. About 2 minutes off I-70 it was easy to find. Gothere about 5:45, not crowded at all. Staff was cordial as I came up to order. Went with my "go to" meal brisket and sausage,dudes of fries and beans. Meal came out after a short wait. First thing I noticed was it already had save on the meat. Thisprevented me from trying one of the 4 sauces at the table. The next thing I noticed ( being from Texas) was the sausage. It wassliced thin and round. Almost like a pepperoni on a pizza. Brisket was thinly sliced as well and both meats placed on slices ofbread under. Overall the meal was good and tasty. Though I had to settle with what I believe was "original" sauce already in themeat it was flavorful. Both meats were well cooked. I would definitely recommend Zarda BBQ in Blue Springs, Missouri. (Sidenote: started getting more crowded around 630 as I was leaving. Plus a lot of pickup order heading out the door. Locals know) Read more
Been coming here all my life for some of the best BBQ in KC, right here in BS! Consistent flavors and quality, always fresh and... delicious. I love the ribs, the roast beef, the pickles, the beans and the fries are the best! Read more
Their prices are just unreasonable for the quality. $17 for a combo with a sandwich, fries and a drink? Absolutely not worth... it.. they are what I would consider fast food bbq and definitely not worth those premium prices. You can go to Jack Stack,Smokehouse BBQ etc and pay the same if not less for much better quality bbq. They just be putting their remodel onto theircustomers to be charging $17 for a combo meal. Save your money and go somewhere that?s worth that much! Read more
