Marty's BBQ

Marty's Bar-B-Q 

6427 North Cosby Avenue 

Kansas City, MO 64151

I like most BBQ restaurants that I eat at.  It really takes a lot for me to say something negative.  There is much that I can say that is positive about eating at Marty's Bar-BQ.  It is a nice location in north Kansas City area.  It is easy to get to.  It is clean and nice and friendly. It had an extensive menu.  It is also inexpensive.  I would even say it is very inexpensive....all of those things are positive.  

What was not positive was the food.  I had the brisket sandwich and fries.  I like thinly cut brisket, but this was so thin I could almost read through it.  There was not much on the bun. It did not have much flavor.  The fries were undistinguished.   I could have ordered the larger sandwich with more meat and it would have likely have been better.  I was not that hungry so opted for the smaller sandwich.  

There were a number of plaques on the wall denoting awards and honors from the 90's when it was in a different location.  I can only surmise that the current owners are not the same as the owners back then. I do not know the connection, or whether it is more than just a name.  I know this is a relatively new restaurant.  I hope time will give them a chance to improve.....
