My New BBQ Rankings
Well, had another trip to KC over Labor Day and ate at another BBQ place, this time Zarda BBQ. It was very good (we had the 2 person platter) and would eat there again in a heartbeat. Here are my rankings from a guy who is from out of town. We will be back on the 16th and will eat at OK Joe's.
Later Dudes 1. Jack Stack 2. Zarda 3. KC Masterpiece (which is closed down now on Metcalf) 4. Gates |

Why? It's not like we're hurting for choices here.

Any list that has Zardas #1 and Okie Joes not on the list is seriously a bad list.

my list looks similar, but would have to put OK Joe's up there, probably #2 over Zarda, even though I'm a big Zarda fan.
jack stack is probably my favorite too. it doesn't have the dirty atmosphere of other joints, but they've got some pretty tasty que. KC masterpiece has no spot on my list though. It would rank slightly above the mcdonalds mcrib.

We dined at KC Masterpiece on my last trip to KC and it wasn't bad at all. While I can't compare it to Jack Stacks (never eaten there yet) you would think the food they served at KC Masterpiece was horrible from the reviews it receives on the board.
I thought it was pretty good. Do the bad reviews have anything to do with it being high profile and corporate? |

Going to KC masterpiece for BBQ is like going to Applebees for a steak. It won't be horrible, but it won't be fantastic either. It is mass produced chain food. |

Actually, no it isn't. The CHAIN shut down years ago. Now it is ONE restaurant which has new owners and one of the top BBQ guys in town. (who redesigned the menu) I can't speak for the quality... butI can say that if you haven't been in the last year... then it defintely isn't the same.

I doubt the meat is cooked badly or horrible quality, but the times I have been there its tough to tell because the sauce was so overwhelming. I can only remember one place I’ve been to where the meat was cooked so badly it was practically inedible (Buffalo Bob’s Smokehouse in Lawrence – dry, stringy garbage). Plus, like Jack Stack, it suffers in the reviews because of the atmosphere. Self-proclaimed BBQ connoisseurs seem to think the place has to be a hole-in-the-wall to have good que.
