First timers should hit Jack Stack - Freight House. That sets the foundation for KC BBQ: cool atmosphere, close to downtown/P&L.
Expand from there: Arthur Bryant's at 18th & Brooklyn for the historic KC BBQ; Joe's KC BBQ at 47th & Mission for the "wait in a ridiculously long line at a gas station for killer BBQ" experience; Gates at 103rd(ish) & State Line to get yelled at (those who know, know); then Q39 South for the OP "we rich" BBQ. Leave the LCs to the locals... it's killer BBQ but the experience will leave most out-of-towners traumatized. |

Joe's is king. Slaps is ok. Q39 is good but I hate the atmosphere. |

I'm converging with some Chicago friends, many of whom are ex-KC residents and Chiefs fans so really wanting to take them someplace new and fresh for BBQ, and myself Thanks |
This isn't that hard. It's Joe's or Q39. Wolfepack is next. Haven't tried Chef J.
|
Big fan of Q39, but I live out of town and only make it back once a year or so, so I’m no expert.

My favorite treat is burnt ends. Who is the best in KC market? Extra smokey and tender with sweet sauce.

Try Slaps if you haven't been yet, then go for cheap drinks and pinball at 403 Club. |

Slaps is my go to now.

Slaps and Joes in no particular order. jackstack,Q39 and meat mitch are good too. It all depends on what you go there for but you cant really go wrong at those places.
Stuff like Gates, LCs, Smokin Guns, Famous Daves are just fine for lunch based on your location while at work if you travel around the city. Good at different things but not horrible. Avoid Rosedale, Hickory Log and Wyandotte if your on the Kansas side. I cant remember the names of the ones I hate the most on the Missouri side. |
I love the Smokehouse! I never see it mentioned but my personal favorite.
|
Definitely Famous Daves and Dickeys BBQ pit. Amazing legendary KC BBQ
