Brobecks Barbeque - Overland Park, Kansas Brobecks Barbeque in Overland Park, Kansas should be one of the best known Kansas City area BBQ restaurants, but still seems to be a well kept secret. Doug Brobeck formerly owned the Stillwell Smokehouse and has been operating at this location since November of 2007 and we have been dining here since 2008. Brobecks provides service at the table, rather than going to the counter, something rare at the less expensive BBQ places in the Kansas City area. And that service is very good; attentive without being intrusive, and doing all the little things correctly. Brobecks BBQ offers lunch specials of different regular sandwicha with 1 or 2 meats, 1 side and a drink for $11.95. I recommend Brobecks Combo Platter with three pork ribs, Polish sausage & one sliced meat, with 2 sides for $17.49. Enough food for two not very hearty eaters. (2025 prices) Brobecks' BBQ ribs are quite good. Both the flavor and texture are superior. Brobecks dry rubbed ribs have so much flavor that they are even good without sauce. The brisket is less smoky - closer to roast beef than Que. The only meat which I haven't cared much for is the pork, which is bland to my palate, but probably appeals more to those that eat BBQ less often. The smoked ham salad at Brobecks' is an unusual BBQ option, but I like it. The serving of ham salad is large and the plate was heaped with crackers and Brobecks' own cooked potato chips - a great deal for $7.99. The chips come seasoned with the house dry rub and are excellent. Here is an insider's secret - ham salad can be selected as a side. Brobecks sides dishes are my favorite part of the meal. The fries are perfectly cooked - thick, tasty and crispy. The cheesy corn is black peppery and very good. The beans look like they just came out of a can, but do have good flavor. There are three BBQ sauces on the table in squeeze bottles. The original is semi sweet, with a peppery taste and one is hotter, but with a more typical flavor The other is mustard based, with a similar peppery component. The original and mustard sauces are distinctive. For years there was a table near the entrance with choices of other BBQ sauces (including Gates and KC Masterpiece), hot sauces and bread, but that neat table is long gone. Brobecks Barbecue is off Roe Avenue, north of I-435.
