Poll falls short because it ignores the intricacies of arguing over KC BBQ. There can be no single overall "Best BBQ."
True KCBBQ enthusiasts elevate this question to next-level arguing via sub-categories specific to a particular cut.*

Q39: Burnt Ends
Q39: Chicken
Joe's: Brisket
Char Bar: vegan pulled pork jackfruit sando. Also Wings.
Jack Stack: Ribs
Jack Stack: Sides

I would even offer up Gram & Dunn Pig Wings appetizer is the bomb.

Gates gets zero votes in my personal scale. Ugh. Worst experience. Pour some vinegar on a stack of grease fat, there you go.

*My votes are based on 2017, the last time I lived there.

I never saw if you posted your thoughts after your visit. Where did you go and what did you think?

Joe's
Q39
Jack Stack

But you can't go wrong with any of the famous ones i feel like, they're all good.

Edit: And if possible, I'd like to register a negative vote for Gates.

When I visit family in KC, I swing by Jacks and get a quart of their pork and beans to go... But yeah, otherwise I go someplace else.

I thought both Chef J and Wolfepack were superb

I won't create a bunch of hyperbole from one visit but both were top end BBQ experiences. Just from a brisket standpoint, I thought both equaled the quality I've found in Texas (which is the only thing they're good that matters)

On the flipside, I also stopped by Jack Stack and their beef ribs were not up to par

The best single brisket sandwich I've had is from LCs and I had a side of sweet tater fries to boot that were top notch. Comfortably better than anything I've had from Oklahoma Joe's.

I only put Joe's on top because it was the most recent bbq restaurant I've eaten at.

Tha ks Tiny E this is what ultimately I'm looking for to skim the cream off the top of individual restaurants and try to get the best sampling from however many places we can hit.

Well done, thank you for clarifying. To add to this, the Brisket Poutine at Q39 was amazing and should be mentioned.

Gates isn't Joe's, but it's always been decent. And it is open till 10 on Friday (see the other thread).
The last time I ate at Gates, my brisket sandwich was like chewing on shoe leather. That was 10+ years ago, and maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but there are far too many great BBQ options to risk getting the same quality shit that I did that day.

Yeah, I don't venture into that part of KC much but for but looking at the menu for Slap's I want to try it now.

How dare you.

I'm sorry I know Q39 is popular but there are much better options.

Gates isn't very good either, IMO.
