Wyandot Barbeque
Nearly five decades of ribs and crinkle-cut fries
Wyandot Barbeque is a barbecue restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri.
Wyandot Barbeque has been a Kansas City, Kansas staple since 1977, a no-nonsense neighborhood institution that has outlasted nearly five decades of trends on the Kansas side of the line. It trades on consistency and a hometown crowd—the kind of pit that locals will defend by name to anyone who hasn't been.
The meaty pork ribs and piled-high sandwiches anchor a menu tied together by a homemade sauce, but the sleeper cult item is the crinkle-cut fries, crisp enough to earn a following entirely their own. Burnt ends and a hearty beef sandwich fill out the tray for a bigger appetite. Nearly fifty years of doing it the same way have made Wyandot a Wyandotte County landmark, fries and all—a place that never needed to reinvent itself because the neighborhood never asked it to. Order the ribs, and get a side of those fries.
