Hot, fresh and so delicious! Bite Me BBQ never disappoints with their food and service! Had the Chicken Fried Chicken, with gravy, and it had amazing flavor and a big portion size!

Nice atmosphere, great looking bar, but a bar never serves great BBQ. Dont know why- brisket was over cooked (though it still tasted decent), sides were honestly great (coleslaw and potato salad were fantastic) but the pulled pork was… not good. I should’ve said something about it, the staff was so friendly that I don’t know why I didn’t mention it, but man that pulled pork tasted like it was days old. Come here for a drink and the atmosphere, but dont expect high end Q here.

The atmosphere was fantastic! From the moment you walk in, the sweet, smoky aroma of barbecue fills the air. The restaurant has the charm and vibe of a Kansas City blues venue—while I’m not sure if they host live bands, the ambiance definitely sets the stage for one. The food is absolutely delicious, though the portion sizes could be a bit more generous. Offering two sides with a BBQ sandwich, for example, would make the meal feel more complete. Overall, the service is outstanding, and the quality of the food is top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I will say, I have been in twice and the only thing I've ordered is the Bloody Mary. It is fantastic. It's literally a meal by itself plus a stiff drink for $17. The meats are incredible.

Overall, a solid first experience. Not at all busy because we went on a Saturday afternoon, but service was quick and friendly. My two meat sandwich was really good - brisket and ham were perfect. My wife enjoyed her pulled pork baked potato. Restrooms were very clean.

We decided to stop on our way through Kansas for some of that famous Kansas BBQ, and we were not disappointed. The beef brisket was absolutely phenomenal, fall-apart tender with that perfect smoke ring and just enough bark to deliver a deep, rich flavor in every bite. Juicy without being greasy, and sliced so perfectly it almost melted on the fork. The pulled pork was equally impressive. Moist, flavorful, and so well-balanced that it didn’t even need sauce, but when we added a touch of their house blend, it took things to a whole new level. You could tell this wasn’t rushed BBQ; it was slow-cooked perfection made by people who respect the craft. This place wasn’t just a stop, it was an experience. Kansas knows how to do BBQ, and this joint proved it with every bite. Highly recommend.

The slogans on some of the t-shirts worn by restaurant staff may be somewhat offensive to some people. The food is fantastic. The servers are attentive and work extra hard. The atmosphere is very much bar like with dim lighting. The decor is rustic and the layout looks good. The place is clean. The BBQ sauce was tasty and the brisket on my nachos was cooked to tenderness. Really can't complain, prices are in the realm of standard for the market.

Friendly staff & place was nice and clean. Hoped for burnt ends but that's only on Tuesday/Thursday, so we tried brisket & a turkey sandwich with sides of green beans, baked potato, coleslaw, and sweet potato fries. Nothing stood out saying "we need more," it was okay. Portions were good.

Quick and friendly service. Signs and interior gave a 'this'll be good BBQ' vibe. Ordered a brisket sandwich and it was outstanding! Now I want to go back.

First, ambiance is great. A classic BBQ joint with a Smokey Smell. Second, service is great. Very prompt and attentive To our needs. So why the low score? The food. I expected better being in Kansas. The daily special was Pork Belly Burnt Ends, so I was expecting soft little pillows of porky goodness. But these were dry (both from a lack of sauce and from it being a while since they came out of the smoker...you can just tell) and not-so-soft. Truthfully there were a few pieces that were nice. But most were not. Alas all is not lost on the food front. I did have an extra Pork Rib bone added to my lunch. The Pork Rib was delicious. Again not sauced (so that must be how they do it at Bite Me), but very tasty. I'm guessing just salt and pepper when they smoked them as there was not a lot of dry rub on it as like a Memphis style rib. And, my coworker had a sliced brisket sandwich that looked absolutely delicious. The sliced brisket looked tender and properly cooked and properly sliced. Another coworker gave good reviews to the Hot Link sausage. Since we had just arrived from the airport and had a way to drive we did NOT try the Bloody Mary that they are known for. But it looks fantastic with a ton of "garnish" (a slice of brisket, a slider sandwich and a bunch of other stuff stuck on a stick)...crazy! All in all, definitely give Bite Me BBQ a try. And if you don't like it, Bite Me.

Great service, friendly people, but not the best BBQ in Wichita. It's smoked a bit, but then finished too long in the oven. The brisket was a bit chewy and we got the ribs and they lacked flavor. Service 4 out of 5 Bbq 2 out of 5

To Go Order 6/6/25. Bite Me is usually very good and on point. We had several orders. 1) 2 meat bbq dinner with loaded baked potato and pasta salad. The baked potato was under cooked. 2) Sliced brisket dinner with pasta salad and some potato salad. Brisket portion was slim, about 4 slices. 3) Chicken fried chicken sandwich with baked beans. Huge portion of chicken. 4) Fish dinner with cottage fries and pasta salad. Huge portion of fish. Need more than one cup for tartar sauce. Need containers that you can poke holes in, so that the moisture doesn't make the batter soggy. Two orders of peach cobbler. One order (see picture), was extremely doughy with very few peaches and no liquid. When preparing an order you shouldn't just give whatever. Especially when we paid (plus TIPPED on a to go order) to have PEACH cobbler... Hard to have that with no peaches. On a previous visit there was an issue with baked beans being undercooked. Again, I usually have no issues with Bite Me, but if it's going to continue to be issues, we may need to take a break.

Food: No complaints, the pork and beef were both delicious. Baked beans and Cole slaw were excellent. I mean, you're in Kansas so I would actually be really surprised if the meat WASN'T good. The only downside I have is that all of the sauces were spicy (except the wimpy sauce). Now, I like spicy, don't get me wrong there, but I would think a few more options for people that can't handle spicy would help business. But I also don't know if they have a problem with business either so... it is what it is I guess! Atmosphere: It's a little dark inside. I mean, they have TVs on and it's kind of noisy as well, but I always think to myself, what are they trying to hide keeping the lights down so low? Gum under the tables? Don't look at the busted floors? I dunno. It's not a bad thing but a little more light would be nice. Service: Excellent service, no complaints. I think our server was new because she kept asking for our orders and came back to check often, but it was all good! Price: Pretty inexpensive in my opinion. I think a 3 meat dinner was like 20$. Plus I think the pickle bar was pretty cool, I've seen a few places do that but I was a bit disappointed that a lot of the bins were empty and I really didn't want to bother the staff for refills. :( Overall: Pretty solid place, I can see why the locals like it. In an area of the country where there are a TON of BBQ places, you gotta do something to stand out. I felt most of the items, except the pickle bar, were standard for any BBQ place, so owners, think about what makes you stand out and advertise that. A unique sauce? A special type of brisket? How about BBQ duck? I dunno... something unique where an out-of-towner like me can say "Wow I've never seen that before!"

Food was good, price seemed reasonable until it was served, it looked big on the photos but it was served on small plates. Service was friendly but staff needs to be made aware of foods that are not readily available so customer can choose something else. She made it seem like it wasn't gonna take too long I finished all my food before Mac and cheese arrived. I wish I could say it was worth the wait but it tasted like the boxed kind.

Yummy,yummy,yummy. You have got to go here if you're in the area, or if passing through. Like going to a large family cookout. Friendly staff, and patrons. I had the 3 meat platter of Ribs, Brisket, and Smoked Ham with potato salad and green beans. Outstanding! Come on in, pull up a chair, and roll up your sleeves

Visting son from Los Angeles, wanted sone que. A great time at Bite Me. Spare ribs were tender and xcllent, mac n cheese, beans, pickles, sauce, and links ALL great. Thanks to staff and the great hospitality shown to us. Next time we're in Wichita, we'll be pulling in.

I was visiting clients in the area and was told they have a cool pickle bar. As a pickle lover, I had to try it, and I was not disappointed. We were quickly greeted and seated at our table. Being from Texas, I feel biased in my review of the BBQ here, LOL, so I'll start with my experience. After the waitress took our drink order, it seemed a while before we received it. Also, it took a while to get our food when we placed our order. I think it was partly because after our order was placed we were notified that they were out of rib meat. The portions were hefty, and everything was juicy and flavorful. I really enjoyed the potato salad, it's a must for me when I eat BBQ, and theirs did not disappoint.

The smoked ham was wonderful. The chopped brisket was ok. I usually get my food to go, but this place had awesome ambience.

Did I order the wrong things here because this place is not one of my favorite places for barbecue. The staff is amazing. The service was good. The cook even came out and gave us loads of samples of every single meat they had there. I just didn't taste the smokiness on the meat. The meat was tender and fall off the bone. The turkey was impeccable and not dry at all, but the brisket lacked a smoke ring. The nachos reminded me of Taco Bell. Nothing tasted bad, but I was not wowed here. I'd skip this place and try bbq somewhere else

We have loved coming to BMB for their prime rib nights and have bragged to our friends how good it is but last night it came to an end. Our dinner came out cold and the meat was overcooked. At one point, the manager/chef/cook came out in his ski cap to tell us that it all looked fine and medium rare is 125 degrees. I said I agree but medium which this is should be 135 degrees and this is definitely medium and I don't know the last time it was 135 degrees. He walked off. The waitress was very frustrated and embarrassed by the kitchen. We recognized each other from previous visits and it was a difficult situation. I hope this is not an indicator that the ski caps are taking over and ruining a good thing

I had the moist brisket at Bite Me BBQ, and it was super flavorful. While the baked beans leaned a bit vinegary for my taste, the mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent. My kid loved the pulled pork sandwich and the baked beans. I'm not a big fan of baked beans anywhere, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The service was fantastic. When one of our friends received an undercooked burger, the staff quickly remedied it, and the manager himself came out to make it right. Excellent experience overall--I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area! The only downside is that the floors are quite slippery from what I assume is grease, for someone clumsy like me it made walking an interesting experience.

The smell when you walked in smelled really good. The food just didn't live up to the smell. We order brisket nachos. The nachos were drenched in bbq sauce that you could only taste bbq sauce. The little bit of brisket that was not drenched in bbq sauce was dry and hard. The little interaction we had with the server she seemed nice.

Went here our first day in Kansas. The food was super good. The turkey and the pulled pork were my favorite. The sauce bar with the pickles and other pickled veggies added to the meal. And definitely order the sweet tea!

I want this BBQ to be the last meal before I die. I came here on a tuesday, which means it's pork belly burnt ends day. For $16 you get THE BEST pork belly burnt ends with two sides. The slaw was top 5 coleslaws. The sweet potato waffle fries were the best fries I've ever had. Piping hot, crispy, and FRESH. The ambiance is old small town USA, with a bar, rustic wood tables, neon signs, and original country music playing. They also have a station with onions, pickles, etc. Coley was my server and she was the nicest person I think I've ever met.

Service was great and staff were all very nice. The ribs were the best part of the meal but sadly that is where the really good food ended. Everything else was just "okay", the pulled pork wasn't very flavorful and the brisket was dry. The sauces were lackluster but I would be willing to give it another try.

Ribs fell off the bone; outstanding sides & bbq sauce ~ comfortable & relaxed atmosphere - do not regret going and would like to return!

Great great food, 3 meat, two chicken legs tasty, all of it two problems, the A/C is on so low, the food gets cold while eating. and, if I ask for a booth or half booth, I don't want to hear there are no booths in my section, or there are only booths in my section. then seat me and trade for the next customer, please

their meat was soooo good. it was fall off the bone and tender and well seasoned and just all around mouth watering-ly amazing! their sides need a little work but you have to check out their pickle bar off to the side. i fell in love with the pickled okra! had a bit of a misunderstanding with the bartender and got charged for an extra drink but he was so nice about it that it wasn't a big deal. they were severely understaffed and they definitely need to hire more people.

Yelp
Got served the wrong meal. Wasn't changed as they had run out of the other. Makes you wonder if the mistake wasn't deliberate. How does a BBQ place run out of chicken? Other sides didn't come either and all was left on the bill. Won't go back.

Go here for the ribs. Ordered a two meat combo ( ribs and brisket) plate, which was affordably priced for bbq. The ribs were good, the brisket was ok

Love this place! I also like how they don't drown the ribs in sauce. Now be careful if you get the spicy pickles off the condiment bar...But service is acceptable, and my orders have always been correct.

Wear a mouth guard, because you are going to tell your texan Mother that this is better than hers. No "pickle bar" or sauce needed. if you don't smile or node your head after the first bite......... you should keep eating at fast food drive throughs.

Went on a Thursday to try out the brisket burnt ends. Seated right away, it was pretty empty. The brisket burnt ends tasted good, but was nothing special. Was really tough. Others in my party had the brisket and that looked really good. My sides potato salad and mac and cheese were good. Had the old fashioned and it came with ice chips, maraschino cherry. Wouldn't recommend it for $12. Will return to try the other meats.

Great BBQ! The hot links are "HOT!" They make spicy Mexican food farts seem like a warm tropical breeze! The brisket is yummy! And you can be UnAmerican and get it lean, or you can eat it the right way with some fat! I just wish it wasn't so far away. Worth the drive!

Ever know what ya want but your mind I numb from the day? My son and I had one like that on the same day. "How 'bout some Q?" I say, "Yeah I'm feelin' that for sure", he says.... 8:45 we wander into an old favorite. Bite Me BBQ, no less on a Monday! From the time we arrived, super friendly staff- tons of suggestions, lots of refills - I think we were dehydrated! Not a huge fan of beef ribs, but theirs are spectacular. Fall off the bone tender too. Every side I've ever ordered has been top tier. We both had the 2 meat combo with ribs - he the pulled pork (which was over the top good), I always try the healthier choice - sliced turkey. We dined, had some Dad time, and really enjoyed our Monday evening. Between the service and food, we left super pleased and kind of forgot about life for a bit. It's all good. Yelpers, this business has new ownership and frankly they've not missed a beat. If you are visiting Wichita, welcome! If you are living in the ICT, stop in and give them a try. You're in for a great time.

I've never been here before, but heard really good reviews and they weren't wrong! I bought 1.5 lbs of Brisket and 1.5 lbs of pulled pork, 4 hot links and 2 lbs of baked beans. Baked beans were phenomenal and the meat was very flavorful and moist. Took this order to go, but the service I received at the bar to order was great! Nice little joint that really felt like a friendly place to be with friends and family! Give 'em a try!

Overnighting in Wichita & happened upon the place while driving around Downtown near Old Town. Happy to find a place with fairly good food by accident. Prices are a tad high -- $18 for 2 small sides a 4 "fairly small" slices of brisket -- but the meat was moist & flavorful. We were all quite pleased with most of the side dishes except for the mac & cheese, which compared poorly to the other sides. Add some bacon or additional flavor to this out-of-the-box mix. Had pleasant & prompt service & would return if we pass through town again.

Finally made it out here after hearing about it for years. I'm a bbq snob, even lived in central Texas for 4-5 years. I like to think I've had good bbq. I was impressed with the whole experience. The service was exceptional, and the food just as good, including the sides. It's easily the best I've had in Wichita to date. The only thing I might knock is the hot links, I'm used to a different taste/texture. These weren't bad, but not texas style. Maybe that's intentional, I don't know. The cost was reasonable, and I liked the atmosphere. Parking sucks, but whaddya do. Great job, folks!

Had a little bit of time in witchita so I had to stop by and check out some BBQ. The food was pretty good overall, but I can't realistically give it a 5 :/ Unfortunately, I did find a hair inside my food! The rest of the flavor was very smokey and nice on the meats though, and everything was a tad salty which is fine. Would I be back? Maybe, but I think I'd try a different place first. At least from someone in San Diego, I feel like there are just as good places here like Phil's BBQ.

Good BBQ, homey feeling and good service. The ribs and brisket here are my favorite. The green beans are great. The pickled okra is so good. The salad recipe could use some help.

I joined a friend a few weeks ago at Bite Me BBQ. The prime rib was recommended as being the best in the area but it wasn't offered on the night we were there. I will definitely go back sometime and try it.

Average BBQ, but good by Wichita standards. I prefer much smokier flavor, but Bite Me has good moist and tender meats and good side dishes. It's clean and welcoming, but it's purely self-service - even to the point of having to clean your own table when it's busy. The ribs were good, fall-off-the-bone tender, but not all that tasty. I would have expected more smokey flavor. The brisket was tender, but also not all that flavorful. The side dishes are really great, but when I go to a BBQ place I want the BBQ to be the stand-out item. I'm still looking for "great BBQ" in Wichita, this is good, not "great".
