Meat Mitch

If you haven’t tried Meat Mitch yet then you’re definitely missing out. The newest neighborhood gem located near Linwood pioneer cemetery off of 95th in the newly renovated price chopper strip of shops.

This bbq joint is part of the Culinary Virtue restaurant family that also operates Char Bar and beer kitchen to name a few. It’s definitely casual and somewhat affordable. But it’s not cheap, but upscale enough for date night, special occasions and all sport affairs and beer drinking ! I’ve been a few times, and wanted to let everyone know that the smash burger is great ! There is a lot of pubs, bars, and even fine dining dining restaurants in Kc to claim to have the best burger. Meat Mitch is still too new to hail that fame.. but trust me. It will soon. The Royal Double is a serious all beef smash burger served w crispy edges, glossy American cheese, pickles, grilled onion and “smash sauce” on a toasted potato bun. It’s marvelous and made to order. I highly recommend trying it.

We also took a shot at the stuffed potato!
It was stuffed all right ! Had to be like 2k calories! Delicious! Smoked burnt ends, cheddar fondue, bbq butter, green onion and crispy onion straws. Award winning in my opinion!

The beers are cold. Service is friendly and professional. Restaurant is open w lots of natural light and includes fun back yard games on the patio for the kiddos or adults. I even Met Mitch on my first trip in. I think next time I’ll pop in for a beer at the bar and watch a game. I look forward to trying more bbq from the menu, but the Royal smash is pretty irresistible! Cheers

Great atmosphere and really good BBQ! Wish the sandwiches came with a side included and the portions were a bit larger for the price, but overall I enjoyed my first experience here. Will return.

Great addition to packed KC barbecue market. Thickest burnt ends with the least amount of fat I have ever seen. Sandwiches piled high with meat. Wide variety of sauces to choose from. Excellent bar menu with a handful of local craft beers on tap. Definitely will return.

Kansas City has so many BBQ places and Meat Mitch is now officially on my list of good ones! The ambiance is great and the staff was beyond friendly. Plus, they were fully staffed; which is a luxury these days.

We ordered the Pitmaster Platter so we could sample several things. The portions were exactly what I expected for $42. The menu states it will feed two people, but we stretched it into 4 meals because we eat pretty light. If we had been super hungry, it probably would have been 2-3 meals. They also have several $6 apps during happy hour; which are nice portion sizes.

The meat: The ribs and brisket were great. The burnt ends, sausage and pulled pork were all good. As I’m writing this review, I just realized our platter was supposed to have smoked turkey, but it didn’t. To be fair, I’m just realizing this and I’m confident if we had asked our waiter at the time of our meal, they would have brought out the missing turkey.

The sides: I really enjoyed the sides. They had a great variety to choose from. We went with the cheesy corn bake, broccoli slaw and fries and alm were excellent. While the meat was great, I will return again just for the sides. They were fantastic!

The sauce: The sauce variety was one of my favorite parts of our dining experience at Meat Mitch. They had six different sauces to choose from; including a white sauce and a mustard sauce. Those were both good and it’s nice to see them in KC, but favorite was the char bar table sauce. Soooooo good!

The environment: The outdoor seating is excellent. Not only is there ample space on the shady patio, but they have fun turf lawns with corn hole games set up. This would be the perfect summer happy hour location. The indoor seating was also abundant, clean and had a variety of table styles - high tops, low tops, booth and bar seating. They even had some cute cow print stools, but my husband requested I sit in a real chair for dinner, so I can’t attest to their comfort level.

I’m my original review, I knocked off one star because of the clunkiness of ordering food and drinks separately. They have changed this and it’s now simple and streamlined. You order everything from your server at your table.

Overall, we’ll definitely be back. We saw them deliver the Cheesy Hog Fries to several tables and now we need to try them. ***update: we had the Cheesy Hog Fries and they were delicious!*** And, I still need to try that smoked Turkey. ;)

The food at Meat Mitch took me by surprise. I ordered the Smo' Fried Chicken Sandwich and my partner got the pick 3 meat platter with burnt ends, sausage, and pulled pork.

The chicken sandwich was massive. See attached photo. It came with 2 full chicken pieces and I had to remove one just to eat it. The chicken was very crispy and tender.

The burnt ends were amazing and had a perfect char. The pulled pork was delicious. And the sausage had a great smoky flavor.

Their assortment of sauces was also fantastic and I made a point to try them all with each meat. Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back!
