Who has the almost best BBQ?
 

OK Planteers, I am NOT looking for the best BBQ restuarant in the KC area that serves smokehouse style meats. We've had that discussion ad nauseum. I want to know which BBQ places fit in that "best" 5-10 category: The mediocre to decent BBQ places that you tolerate visiting.

Phil's house. :p


Disclaimer: I've never had Phil's BBQ.

Arby's

You want mediocre? Here are two:

Hayward's
Shorthorn's (in West Lenexa). Actually, they're awful.

I'd put Big Bubba's BBQ in the 5-10 category. Are they still in business?

5-10th place in KC is not decent to tolerable, it's pretty damn good. If you want merely decent, you're going to have to move farther down the pecking order.
