What's your favorite BBQ resturant in Kansas City?

[Justin P.]

I'm traveling to Kansas City, and am looking for recommendations for places to eat BBQ. What's your favorite?

Can't go too wrong with Jack Stack (www.jackstackbbq.com). If you go there make sure someone orders the crown prime beef ribs! and get the burnt ends...

You must go to Arthur Bryant's 1727 S. Brooklyn, KC.

Highly recommended: Oklahoma Joe's, 47th & Mission; Danny Edwards Famous KC BBQ, 1227 Grand Ave; Gatesbbq.com, original at 1325 East Emanuel Cleaver Blvd KC MO - others all over; and yes Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ.

Being in K.C,MO I really do not go to any BBQ joints, they just don't match up to my BBQ but if I must eat out I go to a little hole in the wall joint called "rosedale BBQ" in KC,KANSAS just south of southwest blvd and rainbow blvd, if you want to hear some good blues, I go to a place calle, "BB's lawnside BBQ" at 85st just east of holmes in kcmo.

Smokin Guns on Swift Ave.

I have dined at Arthur Bryant's and Gates. Both are good, but I liked Arthur Bryant's better.

 

[Kevin Thomas]

Oklahoma Joe's is very very good. It's my personal favorite. I'd also highly recommend Smokin' Guns in North Kansas City.

 

[David Sanders]

Brobeck's at 103rd and Roe, Oklahoma Joe's on 47th and Johnny's in Mission.

 

[Pat McCreight]

I will agree with OK Joes. I enjoyed it quite a bit. My favorite, however, was LC's. They have unbelievable burnt ends.

I also visited Arthur Bryant's - glad I went for the experience, but the food was subpar compared to the other places I visited.

I tried to go to Smokin Guns but they keep limited hours and I missed them. I also went to Jones BBQ and that was pretty good.

So - LC's and OK Joes would be two don't miss spots.

 

[Andrew Booth]

In no particular order: Oklahome Joes, Fiorella's Jack Stack, Rosedale BBQ, Zarda's, Gates, and Hillsdale Bank BBQ

 

[Chad Harwick]

Another vote for Arthur Bryant's and Gates BBQ.

 

[Warren Hickerson]

L.C.'S ON BLUE PARKWAY for a great sandwich, get the fries and plan on sharing with a friend. I live in K.C. there's lots of choices. Also consider Arthur Bryants for a sandwich, Gates for ribs.

We like Oklahoma Joes in Olathe, Jack Stack and Rosedale.

Arthur Bryant's for me. I never miss an opportunity to visit the Brooklyn Ave. location when I'm in town. I've had Gates... I should give them a second try. I'll definitely sample OK Joe's next time, though.

 

[j biesinger]

I'll second ok joe's, arthur bryant's, and jack stack. I've been to them all and had great meals. Its best to try all three because each have their own character/history/specialties.

I just returned from KC and went to Gates and Arthur Bryant's while I was there. Past trips I've been to Jack Stack and OK Joes. Jack Stack has good quality food but is missing the atmosphere. I enjoyed OK Joe's and like that it is in the back of a gas station. Gates has great quality meat and I liked their sauce but they use a little too much sauce for my taste. Arthur Bryants was an amazing experience. The ribs were done right and I liked their BBQ sauces. I also loved watching the wide range of people that were hanging out here.
