- Grew out of a wood-supply business (the family has sold BBQ wood since 1913); started cooking in 2005.
Woodyard Bar-B-Que has one of KC's best origin stories: the Schloegel family sold firewood to Kansas City's barbecue joints for generations before deciding, in 2005, to start cooking on it themselves. Expect pecan-smoked brisket and ribs and a laid-back patio off Merriam Lane — a locals' favorite with deep roots in the city's smoke.
