| Comments: | The Rib Crib was a great place to eat! I really like the overall feel of the restaurant. The food was great...I had the smoked chicken which was wonderful and my husband had the spare ribs. He thought they were great as well. He like the fact that the ribs came w/out sauce on them so you can add as much or as little as you like. Overall, it was a great experience and we will be back. |

| Comments: | This is not REAL bbq. A national chain trying to enter the KC market is not a good thing. Go to a REAL bbq place. We here in KC have so many to choose from. Gates, Bryants, LC's, Smokehouse, Rosedale, Wabash, Jack-Stack... If you cannot see the smoke stack and smell it when you drive by, it is not worth going to. |

| Favorites: | Burnt ends and house mustard sauce |
| Comments: | This is the real thing. We take out of town guest here for a taste of REAL BBQ. Everyone is always empressed. They are open for lunch Tuesday-Saturday. Dining room is open on Friday and Saturday nights only. Carry out only other nights. The burnt ends are the best anywhere in the world. They also serve a smoked ham salad sandwich that is unique. I have a friend who buys smoked ham salad 15 punds at a time from Stillwell Smokehouse. |

| Comments: | I think Winslows is one of the places most people don't know
about. I have tried about all of the bar-b-que restaurants in KC and Winslows, by far, has been the best. Can't beat a Saturday morning at the City Market and lunch at Winslows. | | Reviewer: | Robin |
