Will be up in KC next week. Ok Joe's might be calling my name.

Years ago, the Wife and I were cruising around Shawnee and found this little hole in the wall called "KT Fryers". Made Strouds look like childs play (and Strouds is GOOD!). We ate there once a month or so for the next 4-5 years. Unfortunately, the damned place burned down.....


Just hit OK Joes at Strang Line last week....good eats!!

Oklahoma Joe's is very good.

But when I think "KC barbeque" I think burnt ends and pork ribs. I don't think beef brisket or pulled pork, the things that I believe OK Joe's does best.

That's why I think OK Joes is overrated for "KC Barbeque." I'd go to Gates, Bryants, LC's and Jack Stack any day of the week over OK Joes.

Gus' in Memphis is worth the trip.

I think OK Joe's has wonderful ribs. Haven't tried the burnt ends though. They never have them when I'm there. Gates is super overrated IMO. I also believe LC's is super underrated.

I went there the other day. I know I'm the minority but I like Gates better.

OK Joe's has really good burnt ends and ribs
In fact I think their ribs are probably their best thing

I think they only serve burnt ends on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
You have to get them before they run out.
They are pretty expensive but extremely good.

I don't get Gates though.
It is "meh". It is not on the same level as OK Joe's, Arthur Bryants, Jack Stack, etc...

Overall, Gates is just decent. But their burnt ends are great.

No shit... And three in St. Louis! Yeah, like most BBQ polls, greased palms seem to work well to make your BBQ better.

And I'm sorry, OK Joes is a gas station... I just can't get passed that!

TribalElder 03-03-2014 01:40 PM
OK Joes is overhyped

It's good and all but some people act like it's the BBQ Jesus... But it's not

It's all about what you were raised on. Kind of like people who swear by Pepsi or Coke. To each, his own. They're all good.

No restaurants listed in Louisiana (New Orleans) or New Mexico (Santa Fe). Was Georgia on there anywhere? No good places to eat in Atlanta, huh?

And the "West Texas BBQ" place is in California???

That's not a very well researched list, that's for sure.

Jasper's here in KC was voted one of the top Italian restaurants in the USA too.

Too many places in Hawaii listed.

Many polls have been taken, and the people have spoken. Oklahoma Joe's is the overwhelming favorite in KC.
