17 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Kansas City

“Their sandwiches has alot of meat on them. Love this place. Everytime I go in. They have been very nice. I come here for my bbq“

“So it is Monday July 14 and we just left Joe’s BBQ and my wife told me that my BBQ is better the Joe’s any-day. Sunday night we went to Q39 and wow what a difference. My wife and I both had the 3 meat and sides of beans,and vegetables. Every single thing we had was great. Chicken(white meat) had good flavor but chicken is chicken. Sausage was full of flavor with the peppers. Ribs were fall off the bone and didn’t need sauce. The pulled pork was really soft and melted in the mouth good. So at this point I have to say if you are in Kansas City for BBQ go to Q39 last because nothing compares the it at least in Kansas City anyway.“

“Best BBQ that I have had so far. Meat is so tender and the seasoning just right.“

“A total of 12 hungry guys showed up after a long day of golf. We had traveled 5+ hours to the area for a nice long weekend of brotherhood. At the time this place was chosen to eat we didn't know how bad we actually needed it ! Food was amazing. Service amazing. Scott himself came out of the back to talk to all the patrons. Ended up giving us a mini tour of the smoke sanctuary. Beyond awesome. Bought some spicy sausage to bring home for the family. Worth your time, money and effort to go to this place. I will be back somehow some way. ... - Tony (Springfield, IL)“

“We had a great experience today with a work group. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal.“

“Absolutely Amazing! This is the best bbq I have ever had from a restaurant hands down. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of beans and I can not wait to try everything else on the menu. Even the pickles are Amazing. You have to try this place for yourself. You won't regret it.“

“Let me start by saying, this is one of our fav places. Very busy Saturday night, but that's normal for this restaurant/location. Reservations are handy, seating goes fast and early. We got the Saturday special $17 Ribs, always an excellent choice, as all their food is, Sophia took amazing care of us, can't wait to go back.“

“I asked for my meat to be lean and it can't back with a high level of fat and when I mentioned it to the waiter, his response was “would you like a refill on your soda”. No apology or any way to fix it but instead, let me there to pick all of the fat off“

“Visiting KC from Wisconsin and decided to give this place a try. we had 11 in our group and we all really enjoyed the food. very nice people also!“

“I've been in KC for 26 years, and this is hands down the best. The meats, the sides, ALL amazing. The sausage is off the hook too. Get there early because they sell out daily.“

“Been awhile since been back to BB'S. Used to be a monthly must stop back in tge day for the Blues a Q.

“Whoever’s noanie this is - I’m eternally jealous!
So much heart and soul goes into these meals and you feel it with every bite.
Fries were crunchy on the outside with the perfect soft mashed potato feel on the inside. The brisket sandwhich was melt in your mouth yumminess! We pass this constantly &happened to be blessed while she was closing. She has definitely made a forever customer.“

“I always get the catfish and I’m telling yal it’s the best catfish in the city!“

“The food is amazing. And they treat you like family“

“It would be nice if worlds of fun could do something about the skunks coming into the park. I have a season pass and I normally see 1 or 2 every summer in the outside eating area. Unfortunately the park is next to wood / tree area. So I'm not sure they can do much about it.“

“Excellent BBQ!!!“

“I cannot always eat the meats most of my family does due to dietary restrictions, but I will tell you. This was the HANDS DOWN most tender, melt in my mouth beef brisket that I have had in years. Even the chicken was moist! The server we had was personable and handled the whole knack half the restaurant well even when it got slammed. We were in to visit our son from Rochester NY, and I can honestly say that nothing we have had there since moving there in 2017, is even comparable.“
