A family business serving barbecue to locals and national television audiences alike, Woodyard has become a community staple in Kansas City.  The history of this restaurant, as the owners say, is complicated like the history of Kansas City barbecue, “best told one story at a time with a little myth and no exact dates.”  Originally opened to sell wood, Woodyard stays true to its roots, serving classic barbecue sandwiches and platters.  It has also featured on numerous TV shows, including Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, helping to make Kansas City barbecue world-famous.  With ribs, chili, and fresh-made sides, become part of the story and the family by stopping at Woodyard Bar-B-Que.
