Spent $20 on a brisket platter. It came with 4 pieces of brisket and 2 sides. That's like charging $3 per piece of brisket... outrageous price for ok bbq. Spend the same at jackstack where you get a good portion of food and better quality.

I’ll start by saying I do not like going out for BBQ. I’d rather have my husband’s. On our way home from vacation we seen the restaurant was still open at 9:30 so we decided to stop in. It was limited side options because they were starting to close down and had already tossed a few. Let me tell you, I was impressed! Not my husband’s, but impressed nonetheless. My husband chose the sampler platter with slaw and potato salad and I went with the brisket and pork with baked beans and potato salad. Everything was hot and delicious!!! If you haven’t tried Dempsey’s BBQ, you’re missing out!

Came in for dinner by myself. Had a hard time getting seated as there was a group waiting for a pickup order and some confusion. I had the chicken plate with mac and cheese and bbq beans. The chicken was flavorful and moist. The beans were also good. The Mac and cheese was like eating yellow cardboard noodles.Once my food was served my waitress never returned to the table. My drink sat empty from the time I got my food to the time I left. She did have the time to check her tips fromThe departing tables around me. After finishing my meal I had to go to the front to finally retrieve my bill.I’d come back for the chicken, but will stay away because of the lack of service.My visit was at 7pm on 2/29/24

Absolutely the worst dump I've ever been in! The food was awful, no smoked meat there tasted baked to me! Service poor, but they know how to charge!. Prices plenty high. Won't go back!

Great place for adults, kids and seniors. They have a big party room too, free of charge, for larger parties. My family celebrated an early Thanksgiving meal in that room and couldn't have been happier with both the food and the service. Kids loved playing the Claw game!

We always stop and charge at the Tesla Superchargers behind Dempseys and it always smells so good, so I had to try some this evening and it didn’t disappoint! I ordered a half slab of ribs ahead and cruised through the drive through before heading to the charger. The ribs were huge and so tender they fell off the bone. The potato salad was also delicious! I was full after 1 rib so haven’t tried the baked beans but we will definitely be making this our road trip pit stop tradition!Parking: Tesla supercharger right behind them!

Food was good and short wait considering only one waitress. But she was a hustler. We went as 12:30 fairly busy. Would go back

Had a hankering for some BBQ while traveling from Virginia to Colorado. Stopped here and wasn't too disappointed. The place is a bit dated and dark, but the food was really good and the service was too. Seemed to be a favorite with Locals. The Sampler Platter was pretty generous. Ribs (two) weren't as meaty as most I've had. Except the chicken was a bit bland. Would still recommend the platter though. Speaking of bland, so was the Mac & Cheese...pretty flavorless. Wasn't the case with everything else though. Very good. Not the best BBQ I've ever had, but good for the price. Only bottled beer options and pretty limited. Mostly basic domestics. Tried the Boulevard (Wheat) and it complimented the food pretty well. Wouldn't go out of my way to get here, but if in the area I would stop again.Vegetarian options: Come on. It's a BBQ Joint. Meat and more meat.Parking: Dark. Some ruts/holes.

Would've loved to try, but with the sign in the door saying they can't accept debit/credit due to equipment malfunction, with no alternatives in place aside from cash, McDonald's ended up being a simpler option. I'm not about to pay a $4 atm fee just to try some barbecue.Edit: Almost got to see a waitress and what looked like the manager get into a fistfight in front of the local PD, so that would have been some definite entertainment value added, but I couldn't wait around to see the conclusion. +1 star for the dramatic atmosphere even outside.

The hot ham and cheese was good with a generous amount of tasty ham, brisket was smoky but dry and otherwise flavorless besides salt, the mild bbq sauce was good enough to cover the brisket. The pulled pork was meh at best and the dogs got most of it because I kept finding fatty gristle pieces that I couldn't chew through.My biggest problems were with the potato salad which had completely gone off (it was fizzy from going bad and very sweet for some reason based on the bite I had to spit out), the most lackluster Mac and cheese that a box of kraft would have more flavor than, and the sweet tea had an overwhelming mildew taste and smell to it.It was completely empty besides the staff when I went a little after 3 on a Friday which is a little concerning. Maybe the locals know something I don't. Someone needs to be cleaning the sweet tea container and checking the tea bags and making sure the potato salad hasn't gone bad before serving it.

Absolutely love this place! Return customers traveling through to KC. First visit was in 2021. Still 2 years later same great food and service. Will definitely stop again if in the area or driving by. Prime location right off highway.

Really Good BBQ. For $20, I got a plate with a ton of brisket, a couple big ribs, texas toast, and a couple sides. Really good, all of it. And, it was enough to make 2 meals out of it even for a big hungry dude. Only took em about 5 minutes to serve it up. I came in late, that time when you expect to get side-eye for showing up right before closing, and they were still friendly.
