THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Charcoal BBQ Restaurant Review:

Silver Lake's savvy spot for modern Kansas City barbecue, bourbon and craft beer is Charcoal BBQ. A hipster honkytonk vibe is lent by wooden beams, saddles and stacked firewood, juxtaposed with a big chandelier and red leather banquettes. Chef Jeremy Zimmerman (Sunset Marquis) imported a 1,700-pound smoker to cook up the likes of pork back ribs and dry-rubbed brisket. The meats are smoked slowly and come lightly glazed with just the right balance of tangy and sweet in a tomato and molasses sauce. He also fashions barbecued pork loin into a very pleasant banh mi with smoked cola aïoli, and serves a pulled pork sandwich with greens and a fried egg. Fresh coleslaw and young heirloom potato salad shouldn’t be missed. The bourbon program (with more than 80 brown liquors) specializes in small batches hailing from numerous states, including Angel's Envy (Kentucky) and Breckenridge (Colorado). The beer line-up focuses on Belgian ales, and the cocktails are enticing. For folks stopping in for drinks at the bar, there’s a bucket of bacon and handcrafted pickles for snacks.
