Opening

A New Part Of The Pack

Wolfepack BBQ

Wolfepack BBQ, a new barbecue joint in Columbus Park at 910 E. Fifth St., which softly opened a couple of weeks ago, is quickly making a name for itself in the KC BBQ game.

  • Learning The Ropes: After learning the art of barbecue by working in various local joints and traveling to barbecue meccas across the U.S., the owner, Jared Wolfe, transitioned from being an electrical automation salesman to a passionate pitmaster.

  • Diverse Menu: Recently, Wolfepack BBQ found a permanent home in Columbus Park and offers a menu featuring BBQ inspired by Wolfe’s travels across the country like Texas Brisket, Carolina Pulled Pork, St. Louis-style ribs, and of course KC Burnt Ends.

  • Daily Specials: The restaurant distinguishes itself by offering rotating specials and entrees like the Loaded Mac and Cheese, the Bacon Brisket Burger, and the Turkey, Sausage, and Shrimp Gumbo that showcases the creativity of the chefs.

While the restaurant is still in the process of expanding its services and hours, you can order online or visit the location in Columbus Park this Thursday from 11-10, Friday 11-7, Saturday 11-7, or Sunday 11-4.
