Brand BBQ Market
Lunch (Fri, Sat, Sun), dinner
Average main course: $10The most interesting thing on the menu at this barbecue joint is the appearance of burnt ends, the crunchy, smoky bits that fall off the tips of a brisket when you slice it. Burnt ends are a Kansas City “invention,” and seeing them outside of that part of the country is like spotting a unicorn. At Brand, the little guys are thrown on top of mac and cheese and mixed into a burger, and both dishes are pretty good. Everything else, however—from the pulled pork to the brisket—just isn't consistent and has a tendency to be dry. When a burger is the best thing at a barbecue joint, you might be in trouble.
