Good news fellow Olathians

[R&GHomer]

Just thought I’d let you all know that Oklahoma Joes just opened a new restaurant on the west side of strangline, just across the street from the mega plex. This may not sound like a big deal to most, but Olathe has been missing a good BBQ joint for years now. I hated having to drive to Overland Park for BBQ. It always got cold before I could get home. Anyway, I can say with out reservation that the food is every bit as good as the original.

Enjoy my fellow carnivorous BBQ junkies.

No shit? Can you give a more specific address?

[kc rush]

Smokin' Joes on 135th (East of the courthouse) is good stuff.

Big Bubba's at 151st and MurLen is OK. They do have an autographed picture of Willie Ames (dressed as Bibleman) in there.

[Dave Lane]

Good news for you wish I had one closer than 47th St.

I don't know the exact address, but it’s across the street from the movie theaters on strangline. In the same parking lot as Long John silvers. If I'm not mistaken it used to be a country bar and then it became a restaurant called the Jazz.

I grew up around that area, and I have tried Big Bubba's. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but it wasn't all that good. Didn't know about the one off 135th; I'll have to give it a try.

It was Guitars & Cadilacs, then Jazz. It is across from Target just south of 119th.

[kc rush]

Big Bubbas is OK. Not worth going out of your way.

We really like Smokin Joes though. Tender ribs.

I usually end up settling for Zarda's on 135th and Metcalf, because Jack Stack on 95th is so much longer a drive. Oh happy day. I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.

[CosmicPal]

That's great....

But hey- would someone mind franchising one of your KC BBQ joints in Denver!!!!!!!!

Good gawd....I can't find one single, decent joint in this town....Somebody puhhhhhhlllllleeeeeze- bring some KC BBQ to Denver- I'll give you 2,000 for a franchise.

[R&GHomer]

I myself had to settle for the exact same Zarda's for the exact same reason.

Just polished off a hog heaven, and yes "Oh Happy Day" good stuff.

[keg in kc]

Does it have a drive-through? I could swear the original one did, but I might be confusing it with someplace else. It's been a long time since I had Oklahoma Joes. That was the other good part about Zarda's.

You weren't going to Haywards?

[keg in kc]

I don't think I've ever been to Haywards. I'm remembering this place that was a gas station. Tracy was driving her jeep and it had a drive thru. But it's been enough years ago that I can't remember anything other than that.

I think the original one does, but not this one.

[keg in kc]

I think the original one does, but not this one.Ah, well, I guess my lazy ass will have to go in, then, and get carry out.

Haywards, Northeast corner of Antioch and college. Good stuff!!!

Haywards, Northeast corner of Antioch and college. Good stuff!!!I'll have to check that out, too, that's not too far from where I live, either.

[morphius]

I'm debating on telling the wife to pick up some stuff tonight, ya'll got me hungry for it. I really like their sauce, good and spicey.

[morphius]

And you can drive thru?
Sadly no, but they do have a carry out ordering section.

[jcroft]

Smokin' Joes is a very, very good BBQ joint IMHO, and they've been in Olathe forever.

[beavis]

Okie Joe's is the best bbq in the city. They need to open a place up north.

[keg in kc]

Sadly no, but they do have a carry out ordering section.I guess the "I'm too f*cking lazy to get out of my car" demographic isn't as large as I thought, since none of these places cater to it.

Imagine if they delivered. My fat ass dream come true.

[Spicy McHaggis]

I agree. I remember eating there after playing sports as a kid and loving it. I've been meaning to go recently. Perhaps I'll stop by and get ribs for the games tomorrow :hmmm:

[Bowser]

Well, damn. I thought this was a thread that was going to say Olathe gathered up all of Johnson County, and moved down by Witchita.

I want B-B-Q now.

[Wasp]

Big Bubbas has always been great when I go there. I consider it in the same class as Oklahoma Joe's, but not as good. I hate Smokin' Joe's, but that's probably because I worked there 20 years ago when it was Wyandot BBQ.

I hate driving down to Oklahoma Joe's, parking down the street, then waiting in an hour long line to get some grub. Then you HAVE to get carryout and drive all the way home cause there's no way you're gonna find an empty table in that place. It's worth it every now and then, though. I just hope the new one doesn't suck, like LC's on 95th sucks compared to the original, or Arthur Bryant's at the casino.

Haywards is good if you're in that area, but you should also try Boardroom just up the street on the southwest corner of 95th and Antioch.

[keg in kc]

Sounds like I need to get off my ass and explore the bbq options in my neck of the woods.

[kc rush]

Boardroom is ok. I prefer Haywards in that part of town, and I will catch lunch there on occasion.

[Randallflagg]

Man, I got to agree about Smokin Joes! Love the place! They have the best baked beans in the world! But make no mistake, I WILL be tring out OKie Joes!!

[keg in kc]

I think I'm going to try Hayward's tomorrow.
