A whole lot faster. Plus the place hasn't been good in years (I know, I live in Excelsior).

I'd second the Ameristar Arthur Bryant's location. That AB's has been serving better, more consistent BBQ than the original Bryant's for over a year now.

I call bullshit.(go figure) The original Bryants is a place of worship for the buds.

You don't even know how much I eat at KC BBQ joints. I spend waaaaaaay too much time and money getting barbecue.

Trust me when I say that the original AB's is mostly disappointing now. It has been that way for two years, maybe a little bit less. This observation has been based off of numerous, numerous visits. (Its not like it makes me happy to say that the original AB's is pretty 'meh' nowadays. It really saddens me, actually).

Count me in on the Smokehouse love. Just the smell from driving by the place drives me nuts.

Also, I usually don't care about the sides, but Smokehouse's beans are something special.

I've ate at smokehouse about 1000 times.

The one on North Oak is a lot better than the new one in Zona Rosa.

Yes you will. Its bad...

You said you like Strouds, you get no opinion after that..

I actually think the AB's at the Speedway is better than Ameristar

I haven't been to wabash in a while.. so I'll take your word for it

No shit. You might as well ****ing Arby-Q.

When I worked at Bobby's, a few of the cooks "doubled up" down at Smokehouse to make some extra $$$. They probably took the bean recepie with them, as it would explain Smokehouse actually having something worth a shit on the menu.
