I can attest to Oklahoma Joes. Had their Brisket dinner plate with the Baked Beans. It was excellent!

Go to Gates or Arthur Bryant's for real KC BBQ!

Oklahoma Joes- the original on 47th and Mission. It's in a gas station...and on the top 13 places to eat before you die. Order a Z-Man, and a bag of fries, slaw, beans. Jack Stack would be my second choice. If you are into steak, Chop House or the Golden Ox, or Hereford House.

I like Arthur Bryants better than Gates. AB's is a real serious hole-in-the-wall, scary kind of place but the Q is really good. But 4 Rivers (especially new old location near Orlando) brisket is somewhat better IMHO. AB's ribs were good, the pulled pork ok, Gates... I am not a fan of their sauces.

But that's just me.

I agree. Jack Stack and Oklahoma Joes are great.

Jeez! Where were all these recs before we went! Our first time ever in KC, to see friends and Kings of Leon on tour. Friendly city/people. Stayed at the Hilton President, byootifully renovated 30s hotel with the famous Drum Room lounge, where Ella, Duke, Billie, Louie all played
