F325 BBQ

I came to KC for the BBQ. F325 did not disappoint. Everything from the ham to sausage, brisket to ribs and,of course, burnt ends. I tried both sides of the river over 4 days, and F325 was one of the best. I'll even say better than Slap's on the Kansas side. Now, add the service, the drinks and the atmosphere, and I'll tell you the reason I'll come back to KC, and F325 is on the top of my list.

It is the best burnt ends/ burnt end sandwich I've ever had. I ordered the sweet potato casserole and it was very good, the chef must have heard me talking about how much I like collard greens because he sent me a sample of them with my order and they were excellent as well. However, our favorite side dish was the steak fries! They're cooked Golden brown crispy and generously seasoned with the rub. I've prob never reviewed fries, but these were top 3 fries I've ever ate. 10/10 will return for lunch or dinner.

Omg some of the best burnt ends I've ever had I had here! They were crispy outside and soft on the inside. The color greens are so delicious! Even all the sides you can't go wrong with. Our server MJ was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful at picking out even the sides. They have a great place out and back to sit and enjoy on a nice sunny day. If you are in North Kansas City this is a place you need to try!

WOW!! We are from North Dakota and it was our first time in Kansas city. This place is AMAZING! We got the meat plate with 3. Everything was amazing but if I had to nit pick I would say the brisket was a little dry but that is it. We devoured out food and all left happy. I also have to give a shout out to Brooke Lynn our server. She was so kind and helpful. She checked on us frequently and helped with the menu and suggestions. This place is truly lucky to have her. I'd go back again just for her amazing service! The place was also clean and inviting. If you're looking for amazing BBQ look no further! Next time I'm in town I will for sure stop by again!

I finally made it out to F325 BBQ after hearing multiple coworkers rave about it. I went with the 2-meat plate and had mixed feelings—let’s break it down. Brisket: Unfortunately, the brisket was a letdown. It reminded me more of Arby’s roast beef than proper BBQ—no smoke ring, no bark, and zero smoke flavor. It was tender, sure, but tasted like plain beef rather than anything pit-smoked or seasoned. Disappointing, especially given the hype. Pulled Pork: This saved the plate. It was everything I hoped for—juicy, flavorful, with just the right balance of sweetness and spice. A touch of sauce brought it all together and made it the standout of the meal. Mac & Cheese: Legit delicious. Creamy with great flavor and just enough sharpness to keep it interesting. A solid side I’d gladly order again. Burnt Ends (Bonus): Feeling let down by the brisket, I asked for some burnt ends—and this is where F325 shined. These little nuggets of heaven brought the smoke, the seasoning, and the melt-in-your-mouth texture I was craving. They completely redeemed the brisket experience and ended the meal on a high note. Overall: F325 BBQ didn’t quite live up to the brisket hype, but the pulled pork and burnt ends definitely showed they know what they’re doing. I’d go back—but next time, I’ll skip the sliced brisket and head straight for the burnt ends

Enjoyed my Burnt Ends, juicy and delicious. The sides can be the stars here, love the sweet potato casserole and the corn is surprisingly spicy and hearty. The corn muffins are small, the size of hushpuppies...so order extra. Also loved the Oaks Lilly drink I ordered off the cocktail menu...at least I think I am remembering that name correctly. Love the collard greens but they need to be a finer cut, they were not cooked down enough and too rusticly large. Food arrived quick and waitress was efficient.

Out of towner here. Chose this place based on reviews and location. Shareable corn bread muffins, Pulled Pork, Ribs, Mac and Cheese, Baked Beans, Sweet Potato Casserole, Coleslaw, all were delicious!! Service was great. Atmosphere gave the vibe. Will be on our “places to eat list” when in town!!

We stopped in at F325 after a stop at rewind video dive bar and it was around 8:15pm on a Friday night. Since I'm from Texas, its not unusual for good bbq places to be out of certain items but it was a bit surprising and dissapointing those items were not listed somewhere to make you aware. We tried ordering burnt ends, pulled pork and mac and cheese and they were out of all 3 lol so we pivoted and got the kielbasa and ribs with collard greens and pickle chips and shared everything. I tried ordering a KC dunkel and they were out of that too but at that point, our waitress felt bad and comped my drink which was appreciated. The meats we had were really good as were the collard greens but the corn seemed to be missing something. They had a pretty broad bourbon selection but not a menu for it which is weird and makes it hard to order...like, I don't want to ask the waitress what the prices are for a bunch of stuff and its also hard to see what all they have if you're not at the bar. The food was pretty good, service was really good considering she had to deal with them being out of everything, and overall, not a bad experience but I feel like we need to try it again when they have most of their highly touted items.

Went there for lunch. It's a really nice building with a nice feel inside. Looks like lots of outdoors seating with a stage area. The service was immediate, friendly, and attentive. Got our drinks and a few minutes to glance over the menu. I went with the Stockyard and a side of beans. The stockyard is a brisket sandwich with coleslaw. I covered it in the spicy sauce. It was a good combination. The meat was tender and flavorful. The coleslaw was not overpowering. The sauce had a good kick and flavor. The beans were decent. I thought maybe a little too much...chilly powder? Not sure that is what I was tasting. My coworker had a sandwich and fries. I tried a couple of fries. I thought they had too much garlic on them. My coworker disagreed with me. Overall a thumbs up after my first visit. I will be back to try some of the other items on the menu.

We showed up around 7 on a Friday night and ordered apps, but then our server let us know the kitchen wasn't taking any new orders for 10-15 minutes. Not ideal, but okay, things happen. Then came the curveballs. No Alabama wings. No ribs. No pulled pork... but somehow they were able to sub pulled pork with ribs later? Make it make sense. What we actually ended up with: Buffalo wings: Supposed to be lightly smoked and deep-fried. Honestly? They tasted like neither. No smoke, no crisp. Just kind of there. The bacon appetizer was good. The Burnt ends: Really solid. Crispy edges, juicy inside, nice flavor--definitely the best bite of the night. Brisket: Super tender, but fell flat on flavor. Needed more seasoning or smoke. Ribs (the magical reappearance): The ribs were okay they weren't too bad. I would order them again. Jackfruit: Texture was mushy and the aftertaste was weird. Probably a skip. Greens: Big ol' leaves, but had a good kick to them. I liked these. Beans: Texas-style, smoky, peppery. The service was friendly but clearly scrambling with the kitchen running out of half the menu. The vibe of the place is cool, and you can tell they want to be a top-tier BBQ joint--but right now, the execution just isn't there. Would I come back? Maybe, but for now, F325 feels like a place still getting it together.

Let me tell you a story. A couple starts a competition barbecue team and wins a few awards. Then they start a food truck. And then they open a full service sit down restaurant. The happy ending is F325 BBQ in North Kansas City. One of the owners says the name isn't an accident. Most barbecue is cooked low and slow, but he cooks it hotter because he likes the flavor better. I'm not going to argue. The meat - especially the brisket - is exceptional. Sides are a-ok. Please bring your appetite because you won't go home hungry. A couple of notes: The restaurant fills up quickly, so feel free to call and reservation if you're wanting to visit during peak times - especially if you're going to have a large party. The outside patio is open Spring through Fall. Its entertainment schedule is posted on the restaurant's social medial pages.

Grabbed bbq here for lunch with friends one weekday. We got a table right away. I was expecting an order at the counter place, but you order from a server at your table. I got the one meat platter with Mac and cheese and coleslaw based on the recommendations of our server. I loved the coleslaw. I thought the burnt ends were a little dry, and I wasn't a huge fan of the Mac and cheese. My friend got fries and they were very good. Our server brought us a sample of the turkey and it was delicious! I would order that if I went again. Service was fantastic.

Total package for a Friday evening! Stumbled upon this BBQ spot and had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners. She was very personable and gave a spill of the history of F325. She recommended the three meets and two sides..., we added two sides and F325 did not disappoint. The food was delicious the pork ribs were flavorful and the Burnt Ends and turkey was moist and tender. The sides were selected were coleslaw, collard greens, and sweet potato casserole and Mac & cheese. Delicious!!!! We topped it off with a margarita and corona. The Ambiance was inviting and perfect for a date night or girls night.

I'd never heard of this restaurant and tried it on the basis of a review of "Top recommended BBQ restaurants" from a list (which I don't remember). The decor was modern and had a moderately upscale vibe. Food was tasty (had the two meat platter shared between two people). Although the price was a bit high for a BBQ restaurant, it's probably not out of line for the decor, and fortunately two of us could share one meal. The mini corn muffins were the least impressive part of the meal and I would definitely not suggest ordering a full appetizer order of it. Brisket and burnt ends were great choices for the two meat platter, but be warned that the burnt ends come with a $4 up charge.

Service was great...servers very friendly. Rib plate with two meats was enough to share. We got ribs with burnt ends and turkey. Two sides...steak fries and mac and cheese. Ribs and turkey were ok ...burnt ends a bit fatty. Steak fries were good...specialty mac and cheese was not my thing and didn't finish. Sauces on the table were "ok". Beer was cold. Fun neighborhood vibe.

Another BBQ spot in KC? Yup, and F325 is a success story from the drop. A former competition BBQ entrant turned restaurant mainstay, this spot in NKC is serving up some sensational smoked meats & tasty sides. Pair those smoker skills with a full bar and F325 is rocking it in the Northland. I usually judge a BBQ spot on three things: brisket, beans, and their sauce. Sure, that's not everything that a BBQ spot is known for, but if you can execute your brisket, then the game is solid. F325 delivers *outstanding* burnt ends and brisket, juicy & falling apart, with a sensational bark on the outside. When married with their signature sauce, not too sweet and not too spicy, those beef morsels are an absolute treasure! I would put their burnt ends against anyone's - they're that good. Add in that F325 has a fairly focused menu, not too broad and zeroed in on their best offerings, and you can't miss with any order. F325's sides game is coming along nicely, with their beans and mac 'n cheese leading the way. I have also sampled their whiskey sweet potatoes and those are just sensational, mashed smooth and blended with just a touch of cinnamon & sugar - sinfully good! Sides can certainly make a BBQ meal and F325 does well at making a more unique set of offerings. Parking is fairly standard for NKC, and the place holds a generous amount of diners. At one point the owner had implemented a 'Whiskey Wednesdays' on certain rotations in a month, though call first if that's your jam. These folks KNOW their BBQ and obvs put a lot of pride into their brand. Definitely worth you checking it out.

Strange for a BBQ spot in that the meat looks amazing and tender from photos, but didn't have a whole lot of flavor. It falls apart nicely, as if it's made in a slow-cooker -- just very little smokiness or depth even with the bark, so I had to add a good amount of sauce. I was a little disappointed in the service too -- they seemed to be chatting up locals at the bar quite a bit but were a little brusque when I ordered or asked questions.

The meats have wonderful flavor. The fries were a little over seasoned. The mac and cheese might disappoint some based on portion size. Their bbq sauce, I didn't care for at all. Don't let that stop you though as we all have different tastes. Didn't need the sauce as the meat alone was that good. Waitress asked if we had questions and checked back often. Food was out in a decent amount of time for a Saturday night. The place has quite a bit of seating with both tables and booths, but I can still see them maxed at lunch and dinner rush. They take reservations but when you get there it says seat yourself so not sure how or why they have online reservations.

Much love from California.... Best bbq I ever had..... I recommend to any nearby.... To the owner great staff and one request open up in California we need this establishment in our city.... 5star dinning. Low capacity makes great sense for quality.

The food was awesome! It was our first time there. One of the owners brought us a sampler of their smoked turkey and 3 of the sides we didn't choose. The brisket was some of the best I've ever had.

Wanted to try some new BBQ in KC and ended up at F325. NKC has a couple of good places for BBQ and this is one of them. The dining room is situated with tables and booths and there is extra seating upstairs. There are TVs in different places and college football games were showing for the evening. Vanessa took good care of our tables and my two meat platter with turkey and brisket was good. Try the sweet potato casserole which was excellent and the Mac and cheese. I'll be back again!

Great little bbq joint with a great bar and very personable bartender (Caleb). Caleb was kind enough to chat with me for a while to tell me little bit of the history behind the F325 and his unique selection of liquor. Make sure to ask him about his 8 shot flight specials. During my visit he had selected Irish whiskies but from what I gather things change daily and often include bourbons or other selections. Food here is good. I got three meat plate with ribs, burnt ends and sliced brisket. The plate came with couple sides and a small cornbread muffin. Portions are a good size and the food tastes great. Stop by to check out this laid back bar / bbq restaurant and enjoy casual dining with full service.

Came here on a Sunday evening after going to two other restaurants that were full. This place was also busy, but we were able to get a table for three right away. I got the brisket with Mac n cheese, steak fries, and a little ballmof cheese bread. The brisket was great, nice and juicy with thick pieces. The fried were kind of bland. The mac and cheese was good, but came in such small portions. The bbq itself was great tho.

I found the closest establishment that I was near craving some KC bar b que. Traveling from St. Louis I was craving some good bar b que. My origins are Texas and will always be a brisket fan. Saw that F325 had brisket burnt ends on menu and knew that's what I had to had. The first bite i was godsmacked. What a surprise coming from one bite. Once I jazzed it up a bit with their spicy sauce boy this plate did not take long to get demolished. Nice decor and presentation will have myself coming back again when I'm in the area. Here is a pic of my empty plate because it was too damn good to stop and take a pic lol. Come visit.

MUST TRY!!!I came into Kansas City from Dallas, TX for business and decided to try some BBQ in the local area. Hands down, the best BBQ I've ever had. The meat just fell off the ribs so gently and melted in my mouth. The portions were perfect! Sausages and brisket hit the spot! The owner was behind the bar very involved in her business, which I loved. Really showed her passion for her business. I fell in love with the spicy BBQ sauce they made. I ended up taking a bottle of BBQ sauce with me home to Dallas, TX for all my friends and family to try. Nobody has ever had that type of spicy BBQ sauce here in the big state of Texas. Needless to say, the bottle was gone in days, and I am now here on the site trying to order more. There are tons of places to try there, but don't always assume that because a business has been in an area for a long period of time that the new guys are not amazing or better. Give this place a shot! You won't regret it. I wish we had a place like this in Dallas! It would be packed daily! Thank you for your amazing customer service and hospitality, and most of all the delicious food! Please tell me where I can order more of your special BBQ sauce! I got on your site to order a few bottles, but didn't see a place to order it.

We came here to eat some bbq on a Saturday night. Parking can be tough in this area, but's there's definitely a lot going on this area. We were able to get seated right away and didn't have to wait too long for our food. The staff was very friendly the food for the most part was pretty good as well. My wife ordered their two meat plate with brisket and Burnt ends with a side of bbq beans and fries. I went with their rib plate with burnt ends and ordered mine with a side of Mac and cheese and their Whiskey Sweet Potato casserole. The food was really delicious, it just unfortunately came out lukewarm. I would have preferred the meat to have come out a little warmer. The burnt ends were not as tender and really fatty, but still tasted pretty delicious. The ribs were seasoned perfectly and very tender. The side were ok, with the sweet potato casserole being my favorite. I really liked the sweet crunchy topping and the hint of whiskey. Would order this again and again. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with our meal. I would definitely come again, but would try come other bbq joints before returning.

The ambiance on a Thursday night was quiet inside with a band playing outside. Service was very fast and the food was even quicker to come out. I ordered the Call a Doctor sandwich with Mac and cheese. Overall it was very good but I wish the side dishes were a little larger.

Can't say enough good things about the food and service. Tried the brisket and burnt chicken ends. This place know what they're doing and finally some mouth watering collard greens. A must stop in KC. they also fed my pup and he gave it two paws up

F325 was incredibly welcoming and had a great ambiance! They have a cute indoor and outdoor seating area. The outdoor seating has a stage for performances as well. They mentioned live music on Fridays and Saturdays! One of the highlights was that they had gender neutral restrooms stocked with anything a person would need. Very accessible and helpful to all! Now the food was incredible! Bbq is subjective and I hear that, but I'm telling you these meats were made with love and care. If you like to eat your bbq without sauce you can definitely do that and these meats sing with flavor! However, they also have really good bbq sauces if you're a saucy human like myself. The sides were also incredible! I usually find it's one or the other but all of the food sang together perfectly. That Mac n cheese and collared greens is something g you must try. Flavor packed and tasty pairings!!! One of the owners came over to check on us and was so kind and personable. The staff really took care of us and the food came out at a great pace. Great pricing for top notch bbq too! You've got to try this place and bring some friends with you!

Hey Kansas City! Are you looking for another BBQ spot to check out? If you have not tried F325 in North Kansas City, you must add this spot to your list to check out! We started our meal with the BBQ Loaded Tots appetizer and Kickin' Pickles. The whole table loved the appetizers! We also ordered some beverages from the bar. For my entree, I ordered the 1 meat and 2 side platter: pulled pork with coleslaw and macaroni & cheese. Other fan favorites included the ham, brisket, and burnt ends. I had the pleasure of eating F325 another evening at Cinder Block Brewery (this brewery teams up with F325 to serve their food in the building because they are within walking distance). F325 has a fun and inviting vibe right when you walk in. If you are looking for a new barbeque spot in Kansas City to check out, F325 is the place to go!

Such good food! They have brews on tap from a brewery next door. The pale ale was so good with the pulled pork!

The burnt ends here are stellar. Super juicy, fatty, and super duper well seasoned unlike others I've had in the city (and I've had them all being a KC native!) They're so juicy and flavorful without sauce even that they rival Jack Stack's except are a bit smaller. $16/half pound of burnt ends. The brisket was delicious too!

We were passing through KC and looking for good barbecue - we found it here! Burnt ends were the best! Ribs were tasty, as was the house made kielbasa. Sadly, pulled pork and brisket were already sold out an hour before the lunch session ended at 2. Servers were very friendly and helpful. And the setting was attractive and comfortable.

This place is absolutely amazing! Hands down best BBQ I've ever had. The service is as just as great. Our server Nate was the best! The owners even came out to talk to our family. This is a local family owned restaurant. The owner used to do competitive BBQing before opening up the restaurant. If you're looking for a small local amazing BBQ spot I would highly recommend this place. I'd give this place 10 's if I could!

Passing through town, craving bbq. Yelp reviews did not let us down as this place was close by and so delicious. We were a little worried about getting a seat for our party of 7 but were able to easily seat ourselves upon arrival. Service was efficient and friendly and we never wanted for anything. The brisket and pulled pork were so tender and flavorful they needed no bbq sauce. To me, that is the sign of well seasoned and prepared meat. Burnt ends were smoky perfection and the sides were all great. Everyone had a favorite but mine had to be the elotes. The only side we didn't try was the coleslaw but if it's anything like the others, I'm sure it would be great. On the to do list for next time we are in town. Owner stopped by our table to check on us and was a very friendly and personable guy. Cherry on top of a great meal. We will def be back next time we are in town!

We were driving thru Kansas City on a cross-country trip and due to unexpected interstate closures we decided to make the best of it and stop for some Kansas City Q. The universe opted to reward us for our patience and our roll-with-it attitude when we found the reviews of F325 BBQ. Easy, off street parking (which was a huge relief since we were towing a cargo trailer), well-lit and safe neighborhood. Initially unbeknownst to us, we were immediately greeted by the super friendly owner, Lisa, who immediately made us feel welcome. Something we weren't expecting deep in Chiefs' country when we were proudly sporting our Seahawks wardrobe. Nearly as inviting was the giant, well-appointed beautiful bar beckoning us to belly up to it. (picture included) She spent the exact right amount of time talking to us to figure out what to help us order. Sensing our indecision, she made some stellar suggestions and we appreciated the assist. Prices are fair and right in line with what you'd expect to pay for great Q. The sauces were expertly crafted, the meats were perfectly cooked, very juicy and flavorful. We ended up getting the 3 meats (I believe we mentioned some indecision on our part. The cure is to just order more, btw. We had the burnt ends, pulled pork and thick cut brisket. We also tried a small side of the smoked turkey, which was equally amazing and so very moist. I hear it's due to the brine) with the 2 sides. Miss Lisa heard us going back and forth for way too long about what sides we were gonna choose and, finally brought us a 2-bite sample of what we were debating, cementing our choices. Drumroll...collard greens, mac n'cheese won out. We both agreed that we should have both got the collards because they're about the tastiest we've had outside the south. Also, earning super high praise/honorable mention is the baked beans and the coleslaw. One sentence that I have never uttered nor thought once in my life before F325. The draft beers were cold and obviously had very clean, well-pressured lines (thank you, Jon Taffer, for my now knowing why some bars have horrible tasting beer). I wish I could have sat there and had 2 or ... more. The locals were the kinds of folks you wanted to sit next to and engage. Happy, friendly, slightly sassy yet fun-loving. James, Miss Lisa's husband/co-owner/bartender extraordinaire, was also out and about making a great impression in front and behind the bar. From start to finish, this place was top-notch. Not too busy at 7:30pm on a Wed in March. The ONLY thing we could suggest to this great couple who seems to have thought of nearly everything is maybe a couple of dessert offerings. After having meat and sides that were so rich and dense, having a nice counterpoint to that, to pull some of that heaviness off our tongues at the very end might have been nice. We really thank the entire crew at F325 (Fahrenheit 325°) and it's owners, Lisa and James. You're doing it 100% right and we encourage others to make it over to check you out for themselves. You won't be disappointed.

Highly recommend this BBQ restaurant! Sandwiches piled high and so flavorful! Really enjoyed the family run small business!

so i waited to go back before giving a review, because my first to go order was pretty bad. I asked for no sauce, they told me they never put sauce on their meat, which is perfect, because a lot of terrible places hide the quality of their meat with too much sauce (jackstack...) and on my first order, which was a briquet plate, it was so expensive and not very good. so yesterday i needed some ribs, and was in NKC, and thought, today was the day to try this place again. it was indeed another aweful experience. the meat was actually COVERD in a sweet glaze, covering up what i can only guess is some pretty mediocre meat. so i guess they never put sauce on the meat except when I don't specifically tell them not to. it was bad, really bad, and i'll probably skip this place next time.

Delish. It was all about the bbq sauce which they sell by the bottle and which I bought. Loved the pulled pork. Liked the turkey. My husband had the baked beans which were yummy. Would definitely come back here again!

We're from Texas so expect amazing BBQ. Definitely get the ribs and burnt ends. Can't decide which side was best: the collards, sweet potato casserole or coleslaw! Of and get the brown sugar bacon. Best employees. One even came out to help my husband find parking and then helped me to car due to breathing problems. Coming back through on our was back from Rochester, Michigan on Wednesday and will definitely be stopping again.

This review is for lunch for two at the bar on a Sunday in mid-February. service: Everyone was very professional and accommodating. As others have said, the place has a very honest and sincere family vibe. Super impressed by everyone we interacted with. bar: Probably the most serious bar in a BBQ restaurant that I've seen. Plus, excellent draft choices. I drank a couple Cinderblock IPAs ($9 as of 02/2024) and they were spot on. Would highly recommend cocktails here. food: I ordered the two meat plate with brisket, pulled pork, beans, and fries ($21). When I asked about the other sides, the waitstaff brought me tasters of their greens, mac-and-cheese, and sweet potato pie. Everything we had was fantastic. details: The place was not crowded at Noon on a Sunday, but I would imagine it gets packed. Heed the warning signs about parking across the street in the pay lot. We grabbed street parking, but that might be scarce at times.

Went there at 6:00 pm on a Saturday and they were closed. Website says they were open. Ruined our day!

We've driven past this place every day for months and finally decided to stop in for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. It was surprisingly still busy from their lunch rush at nearly 2:00, which was a great sign to me! The staff is incredibly polite and attentive, and quick! Atmosphere is casual and they have a patio, but not sure if it's for use for the adjoining business. Ok, the amazing food. Where do I start? As a life long Kansas City-an, it takes a LOT to impress me with bbq at this stage. It all seemed to blend together. Up until this place. It's very authentic KC tasting, but unique. I have no other way to describe it. My Cuban was better than I could have expected. I've been looking for a good one in KC and many have failed. This one is worth every penny and more for the price point. Every layer is perfection. I had to take a second to pace myself after the first couple of bites, it was so amazing. My husband got the Call the Dr. sandwich with three meats. Sausage, brisket, pulled pork. He said it was nothing short of a religious experience. 10/10. We will not be driving past this place any more. It'll be a regular stop.

Favorite BBQ in KC! Meats are tender, flavorful, and lots of flavor! The sides are amazing! We had the cornbread muffins, little bites of heaven! Collard Greens, coleslaw, Mac and cheese were all delicious with so much flavor! The sweet potatoes, need their own show! I literally could eat them every meal! What a meal! Bought some gift cards to spread the joy! Try it!

Grew up here, eating the best- Gates BBQ. Now live in Texas, with lots of friends perfecting their BBQ! We came at 2pm, not busy at all. Waitress was attentive, explained our options, and answered our questions. 3 of us total- 2 shared a 3-meat plate and I got the rib & brisket plate. Ribs were tender, and so was the brisket. It all had good flavor. Bbq sauce was delicious too- not too sweet! My wife's food was just under room temperature, so not as tasty as it could have been. Nice twist on the mac&cheese! Coleslaw was perfect- not runny, not too mayonnaise-ey, and just enough pepper, sugar, and mustard seed to round out the flavor. Glad we gave it a try!

Absolutely amazing. The food, service and atmosphere is just amazing. Our waiter was very attentive, the bar serves GREAT drinks and the appetizers are to die for. Honestly, just found this place but I will be returning and bringing my friends. 10/10

Late lunch early dinner service was great food and portion excellent. I would definitely recommend. Also reasonable on price.

I am KC proud, BBQ runs in my veins. Cut me and I bleed BBQ sauce. Now I have had my fair share of disappointing BBQ in this town. And North Kansas City's BBQ scene has been on the decline since COVID. That is all changing with F325. Walking in the place is inviting, warm, semi-industrial, and super clean. The staff are warm and welcoming. Had I not been in a hurry, I probably would have hung at the bar and socialized. Alas I had to get straight home. The drive home was excruciating from the smells coming from my bag. Now onto the food. I ordered a One Meat Plate (Brisket) which came with two sides. I went for their Mac & Cheese (Duh! This is me. Of course Mac & cheese) and collard greens. The brisket was beautifully barked and was the perfect composition between dry and moist. The taste was incredible. You get that perfect union of wood smoke and beef. Next bite was with the sauce. Now I tend to not like sweeter sauces, but this sauce actually hit the mark. It has a deep sweetness that wasn't cloying or overpowering. It has a nice kick that wasn't too bold, yet held it's own. I'm already in love so time to tuck into the greens. This again, is a tough one for me as I am super picky about my greens, especially the heartier collards. Usually they are overcooked and like limp canned spinach, or undercooked and rough to chew. Neither is the case here. These are real down home greens. My only complaint is I would have liked a little more pot liquor they were cooked in as it tasted so good. Now the Mac & cheese. Again, do NOT play with my Mac & Cheese. It should be creamy, yet thick. It should be baked. Now I am not sure whether they bake it or not, but it was good. There was some green in it which already has me looking odd at it, but the taste was on point. Nice flavor. You actually taste cheese. I am not sure what the green in the dish was, but it was a nice addition. This place made my heart sing as all other Northtown BBQ places were either great meats and mediocre sides and vice versa. F325 nails both wonderfully and truly has restored my faith in Northtown BBQ. This is definitely a must try.

Very interesting place. The food was not bad at all. The flavor and sauces are pretty good. Service is nice. Atmosphere is alright

This was our first visit to F325 and it was phenomenal. We got the 3 ribs and 2 meats with 2 side plate. We chose brisket and burnt ends for the meats and beans and slaw for the sides. This was plenty of food for two people to share. All the food was absolutely delicious. The burnt ends were some of the best I've had. The ribs and brisket were perfect too. The sides were very tasty too. The service was great too. We visited around 2:30 in the afternoon and the owner chatted with us. Nice guy. We'll definitely be back. So glad to have a good BBQ restaurant in the Northland. Food: 5/5 Facility: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Value: 5/5

First time coming here, I heard it was really good and saw it had good reviews so thought I would try it with a friend. It's a cute place with a bar. The menu isn't huge but has good items to choose from. We started off with fried pickles. They were good! Little bit of spice, which it did warn you about on menu but not overly spicy that you can't eat. I don't like spicy food but the fried pickles weren't too spicy. I got the Royal Burnt Ends sandwich with their own Mac and cheese! Very good! They have really good BBQ sauce too. Very flavorful meat and BBQ sauce. Definitely will come back and try other items!

I've tried this place out twice and both times it hasn't been great. The first time everything was just average and there are extra charges for everything. Burnt ends specifically. The second time, I tried a 2 meat plate. The pulled pork was not very good and everything was kind of cold. Also, the service was very slow and our waitress was kind of rude.

The owners were exceptional, making us feel completely at home. The collard greens and brown sugar bacon were outstanding. You absolutely have to try it! I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

The burnt ends were cooked perfectly, but rather bland in terms of smoke or bark or general BBQ flavor. The burger was over-salted to the point of being almost inedible. I felt the price was rather expensive too, but maybe that's because I just didn't enjoy this place as much as other BBQ places in the greater KC area. Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't go back to try F325 BBQ again.

Pretty cool place. Ribs are a clean bite. I prefer falling off the bone. Preferences of course. Burnt ends are a bit different than most other KC bbq joints. Pretty good and tender. Again I prefer OG KC style. I LOVED all of the sides! Greens were perfect! Mac was so cheesy but not overwhelming. Yummy smokey beans.

Visiting KC so we had to have BBQ. Full disclosure, we tried earlier in the day to have bbq from different spots but because of my girl Taytay, the city was buzzing. Lines everywhere. F325 was really close to where we're staying so off we went and it was a good call We shared a three rib platter(actually came with four) with Brisket and Burnt Ends. Everything was good to really good We got the Mac and Cheese side that I wish was a little larger and steak fries that are steak fries. Really liked the mini cornbread The best part was the live music. Didn't catch the singers name but he was good and added to the experience
