| Comments: | The main reason I rate Bryant's ahead of LC's is the simple fact you get more beef at Bryant's. The fries are the same as Bryant's. Awesome!!!!!! I plan on trying the whole chicken the next time I'm in KC Mo. We've got places to go for great ribs here in The Big O, but nothing for the beef and fries experience of KC. |

| Comments: | I was recommended to LC's 6 yrs ago, by someone I didn't know & I have been happy every since. My wife & I always try another BBQ place, but always have to go to LC's to bring some home & eat while we're in KC. No trip is complete for either of us unless we have LC's BBQ. I have friends go to LC's & bring me back ribs, Burnt ends & sauce, whenever they
go to KC. They also love themselves. One person is still trying to eat at least 2 bf sandwiches, but can never get them down in one sitting. Great food. Don't let the looks of the place mislead you. |

| Comments: | We visited LC's after seeing a coupon in our 2002 Entertainment Book for Buy 1 entree, get 1 free (with no dollar limit) and reading several good reviews on the web. Boy were we disappointed. First, LC's staff ignored the printed coupon terms and said that the coupon was only valid for a free sandwich in addition with the purchase of another menu item of greater/equal value. Second, the fries were void of flavor and actually some of the worst we've had. Finally, the ribs and mixed meat sandwich we ordered was more fat than meat. I'm quite surprised by the other positive reviews! Our favorite Johnson Co. BBQ place is Big Bubba's at Mur-Len & 151st. |

If you don't like good old fashioned BBQ with the fat and sauce, go to Gates and eat their dry as the desert BBQ. I've been going there since LC used to cook outside with the big trash can grill and it was just as good then. |

I say that it would have been the health dept. dream nightmare if they would have walked in while I was there. The kitchen area was riddled with filth especially on the floor and the flies loved it. I went because the G.A.S. rated it so high, I thought I had to see for myself, and I did. |

| Comments: | LC's has some really good Kansas City styly BBQ. I was recently at the Blue Parkway store and ordered up about $65.00 worth of food to go. The problem is with the filth factor! and the attitude factor from the employees. If you can just concentrate on why you've come in there, and not about the unsightly conditions you should be alright. |

| Comments: | Stay away from LC's. The publicity far outweighs the actual quality. If you enjoy a number of smoked flies with your food (an iguana may have been in heaven to eat there), greasy floors (really greasy), and a good portion of the seating taken up by employees lounging and managers using tables as a desk- then you will LOVE this place. If not, stick to OK Joes, Gates, Sweet Bob's, Bryant's, etc. |
