Yelp.com Review - by K B.

4.0 of 5 stars. Hayward's is a place for locals who know the different types and flavors of KC bbq and know what they're doing. Sure, we can do Bryant's, Gates, Okahoma Joe's... but sometimes we just get a craving...

The BEST BBQ on Planet Earth

I grew up in KC but have lived in the DFW area for almost 30 years. I drive to Kansas City now and then, just to eat here and buy cases of sauce to tempt my friends in Texas. This is, by far, the best BBQ in...

Good BBQ by Cheryl M. at InsiderPages

Haywards is the quiet BBQ you hear about all the other Kansas City BBQ's but Haywards is one of the best and it has been around for years they don't try to expand they just keep going with what they have.

Yelp.com Review - by Adam C.

2.0 of 5 stars. My experience at Hayward's BBQ was nothing special, but in no way bad. Its not easy to be a BBQ joint in Kansas City, and Hayward's BBQ is -for some- a favorite- just not mine. I ordered the ribs;...

Yelp.com Review - by Amy R.

2.0 of 5 stars. I'm not much of a meat eater. There I said it. Living in Kansas City and being a semi-vegetarian is hellish at times, but I've been known break down and eat a rib here and there. (BLASPHEMY THY NAME...

Great BBQ

I grew up in JoCo and was exposed to BBQ at Haywards. I now live in California and just took some smoked chicken (from my smoker) to a friends house and a bottle of Haywards and they loved it. They called and...

I was raised on Kansas City BBQ, Hayward's Pit has long been my favorite and is rated in the top 3 city-wide by nearly everyone I know.

What should you expect from K.C. BBQ? Ribs: the meat falls off the bone. Brisket: slow-cooked for hours in a pit filled with decades of character. Sauce: flavorful, spicy, complex. You get it all and more at...

Yelp.com Review - by Matt M.

5.0 of 5 stars. Great ribs, and hands down my favorite sauce in KC. I would easily put Hayward's in league with the most revered KC BBQ restaurants (Jack Stack, Arthur Bryant's, OK Joe's). The best thing about...

BBQ done right

I love this place. I often go and get a turkey or beef sandwitch but you could throw a dart at the menu and not go wrong. The owner Mr Hayward is often there and always very polite and friendly. The sauce is...

OMG delicious!

I grew up in KC and this place in on my must go list when I return. Forget Arthur Bryant's. Forget Gates. All good but Hayward has refused to dilute his product and it shows. I ship cases of the sauce to...

A very good BBQ experience. Try the combo platter for a little of everything on your first trip. I've settled into ribs and burnt ends. The sauce is one of the best around. It pretty much defines what I think...
