Black Belt Bar-B-Q - Leavenworth, Kansas

Got the brisket and jerk pork. Tastes of meats were good but they were EXTREMELY dry. Coleslaw came from a store bucket. Beans were great!

The lady taking my order had a hard time with taking my order.

Excellent BBQ smoked right there on site. We had the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, and the kiddo ate a hotdog. For sides we had red beans and rice and baked beans. The RB&R were dry and not much beans (not what I'm used to). However the baked beans were top notch and I highly recommend them. The staff was also super friendly and chat with us a bit on local events. I'll definitely be going back to try some of their other menu items!

Based on recent reviews maybe we went on the wrong day but I went today for the first time with three coworkers, whose first time it was too. Out of the group the best opinion was “it’s okay.” Each one of us were unimpressed with the quality of our meals, which sucks. We were really excited about this place because it’s always sitting out in that parking lot and looks like it has the best BBQ in town.

The staff was friendly and helpful, our orders came out in a reasonable timeframe, and the price was about what I’d expect, if the food was good. If you try it out I’d say manage your expectations before you park; who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised.

I have driven by here for a few years and it always smells so good. We tried it. We got brisket, ribs, jerk chicken, hot dogs and a turkey leg. The jerk chicken was PHENOMENAL, everything else was really good as well. The turkey leg had great flavor but the skin was too tough to eat. Will be going back for sure. Service was great as well.

The service was excellent. Very friendly people. I got the jerk chicken with rice. It came with sauce and bread as well. The jerk flavor, char and skin on the chicken was good, but most of my chicken was exceptionally dry and mostly bones. The sauce it came with was good. The rice was overcooked and lacked flavor. The bread was nice and soft. The atmosphere was nice, as you can see the smokers and meat cooking and it smells great.
I would probably return to give it another shot. The jerk chicken has a lot of potential and good flavor if the finished product is controlled better.

The bbq is obviously on point. KC requires that.
What sets black belt aside is the small-batch craftsmanship and the little touches often reserved for the big guys: delicious sides, fresh buns, pickles on the side, a house-made sauce.
Quality meats plus a pitmaster plus reasonable prices equals a Leavenworth gem able to rival the likes of any KC staple.

The place had all the right signs that it would be good but it was a bust. The food we received was old. The brisket was so tough my fork was breaking. You can see it in the picture. Beans were good but may have been from the store and then they just added pork. Pickles were from the store. The chicken was tough as well. Certainly from yesterday maybe even older. The rice was also old. Now that I think about it, I should be worried about getting sick too. The meat was sitting out on his truck in the sun when I was there. Nowhere near a cooler or anywhere sanitary.

This is a walk up truck. Limited hours. I REALLY was hoping for burnt ends but it's not an option. The brisket however was great. When I told the young lady I'm keto she was so accommodating to make my plate keto friendly
