The parking lot was insane (thanks to Black Friday BS, and the location being in a huge shopping area). I called and ordered it to go, pulled up, let someone out to grab the food and pay, and we were back home eating 10 minutes later.

Thanks. I always prefer to-go. I'll try and use this info to convince the fam.

Pretty much the only way I ever get OK Joes. Even on 'normal' days, they are usually pretty damn busy

But its worth it. Got the jumbo pulled pork and the best fries I've had in the world. Took a slab of ribs, 1lb of brisket and a 1/2 lb of pulled pork home for dinner. Take it home cold from OK Joes and heat it up in the oven and you get to have some of the best if not the best BBQ on the planet.

We waited an hour and that was at 1:00 pm. The line was out the door and down the strip malls sidewalk and around the building.

Went to a couple Lee's Summit locations.

Q's BBQ downtown by the post office. Had the brisket, the brisket was pretty good, but the sauce was terrible, just terrible. Tasted more like chili and it was hot. Not my kind of sauce.

Hickory Pit BBQ - Oh my, all I tasted was smoke. Smoke smoke smoke and more smoke. Screw that.

Any good Q in LS?

I've never eaten there, but I've heard good things about Filling Station BBQ.

If you like the sweet BBQ its top shelf. Been there more times than I can count. Brisket is off the hook.

Simply Red · 11-26-2011, 12:14 AM

I haven't been to all, been years since AB's - I DO like Zarda, but they're inconsistent. Gates is the best I've had off of the list, and they do it right far more than wrong. I stay simple w/ ham and beef on Wonder bread, something about BBQ ham just really does if for me.

I've moved from pussy heaven and literally rode north on P'Tree Street about six mis. I'm in a town known as Chamblee Ga. Pig & Chick as well as the 'Old Brick Pit' are right around the corner, Old Brick Pit is pure garbage.

Georgia has absolutely no clue how to BBQ.

I live 5 minutes away from OK Joes. Grab some and take it back home for lunch pretty often. Most times when I'm wanting some, I'll take a late lunch break around 1:30 or 2:00. Usually no line then. Z-man and fries...

And Rosedale disc golf course is just a few blocks north. Grab some good BBQ and work it off with a nice round of disc golf.

Bliss..

Is the place across from longboards any good?

Demonpenz · 11-26-2011, 06:55 PM
