I drove past Fraser Smokehouse on my way to CrossFit Saturday morning and decided I was going to make a U-turn and come back later on to have lunch there. Everything seems so right about Frasier's, great menu great location and very friendly staff.
I ordered three-meat combo which was three bones of baby back ribs, burnt ends and pulled pork. My side items were French fries and green chili macaroni and cheese. I also ordered a cup of turkey gumbo.
The combo meal:
The meal was fine, but it was not great. I would say the best selection out of the 3 meat combo was the baby back ribs. The ribs were moist had decent smoke and had good flavor.
The burnt ends where not moist and very tough and chewy. It's always a delight to see someone outside of Missouri making burnt ends but when you are from Kansas City you are going to be hard when it comes to burnt ends because you know what right taste like and looks like.
The turkey gumbo: this was honestly my favorite dish out of everything I had. Very good roux it had turkey sausage which gave it an abundance of flavor.
grades:
Turkey gumbo- 9
ribs-7.5
burnt ends- 5.5
pulled pork-5
Maybe they had a bad day and they look like they know what they're doing so don't let my review scare you off still go by and give them a try. I eat a lot of barbecue all over the country so I'm going to be a pretty tough critic
