I was travelling two weeks ago and had the WORST BBQ brisket ever in Arkansas. No matter where you go in KC, what you get will be light years beyond what you get in other places, trust me.
Quick reply to some of the suggested places:
The new Gates in Independence is a nice facility, but Gates has always been suspect for quality of service. Some days its OK, some days it's a Chinese Fire Drill.
Woodyard on Merriam Lane in KCK: It's a road house. The smoked chicken and the BBQ Chili are the best things on the menu. Service is slow. Don't go if you're in a hurry.
Arthur Bryants: Very good value for the buck. Tip: If you order a combo sandwich, you can make ribs one of the meats. Ask for it dry, then put the sauce on at the table or get sauce to go. Try the original and the sweet tangy. Some people really hate the original. I love both.
Rosedale: Everything is good except ribs. Great value for the buck, nice people.
Q39: Still haven't been there, so I can't judge. Understand it's expensive and the portions are smaller than most BBQ places.
Jack Stack: Good, safe, tourist BBQ. Not a real joint like LC's or Arthur Bryants.
