Can anyone tell me the best BBQ joint in KC? Will be driving through round dinner time on an upcoming road trip and want to get a nice meal.
I haven't even heard of it.Have you eaten at Q39? A friend recommended that one as well.
Blasphemy! Just KiddingJust on our way from a 3 day BBQ weekend in KC. I have had so much Q that I am about to burst I had favourites for different items.
SLAPs BBQ for sausage and burnt ends.
Jones BBQ had the best ribs I tried.
LC's had a fantastic burnt end sandwich
Arthur Bryant's was good, but the only part of my meal that was best of the weekend was the beans.
Ricky's Pit BBQ had great Sausage and awesome chili.
Our tour was led by a couple of KC natives. We visited several smaller places that were awesome. We were so full, we actually skipped Joe's KC.
Sounds like you will have to stay over a few days and try them ALL! Then can you report back to the rest of us so we will know? Now my mouth is watering!Can anyone tell me the best BBQ joint in KC? Will be driving through round dinner time on an upcoming road trip and want to get a nice meal.

Is that even possible without getting seriously sick? I know that barbecued meats are a way of life in KC, but even the people who love it think it's something enjoyed in moderation.
I followed a college club sport a few years back, and one of the players was from Shawnee, KS. The national club championship one year was in KC, and he was talking about getting a tray for the team and from where. I think it might have been Arthur Bryant's. However, he was talking about it like he was serious about his barbecued meats. He was the local guy on the team and expected to be the expert on the matter.
I would assume this to still be true (haven't heard otherwise) that KC (ETA: by KC I mean the metro area not just KCK or KCMO but the whole metro) has more BBQ places per captia than any other city....it's a safe bet that you wouldn't be able to try all the offerings. Us locals likely haven't even tried all the offerings (*I know I haven't)Is that even possible without getting seriously sick?
