Reviews

Has options for vegans and vegetarians! Get the jackfruit sandwich. It's delicious. As is the potato salad and the onion rings! Also, has a huge selection of beers, a large outdoor space and an outdoor bar. Tons of screens to catch up on your favorite sports. Also has barbecue! Highly recommended.


We loved the corn bread, it has a little of spicy, so it was different and tasty.


What can I say BBQ’d to perfection! The waiter was friendly, attentive, and engaging. He recommended The Whomp!!! Which was a nice variety of delicious meats, beans, and slaw!


I have loved the food, service, and atmosphere every time I've gone to Char Bar ❀️❀️❀️


Food was delicious like usual. Our server Casey A, hostesses & Michelle were delightful! Will definitely come again!


Cool place with delicious food. Has a lovely patio and opens late on Sundays when everything else is closed.


Excellent quality of food, a lot of unique options. Everything we ordered was seasoned well and full of flavor. The vegetarian smoked jackfruit was as good as any BBQ sandwich I have had in KC.

Had an outdoor patio area that looks neat, has Cornhole games, plus more.


Decent food, slow service, the gothic girls at the front desk would have much rather been somewhere else and definitely not in customer service.


Loved it! Delicious and dog-friendly. Plenty of options for vegetarians (hello, jackfruit) and pescatarians (the salmon was so good!). The cocktails were also phenomenal.


The sandwich was insanely good!! All the different types of meats were tasty and not dry at all. Definitely try their burnt ends. The fries costed extra and were not crispy at all, pretty mediocre. The drink I got from the bar was also disappointing. Overall, it’s pricey but the BBQ is worth it. Would be interested to try more on the menu!
