Food and Drink Just had Q39

Silock · 12:18 AM

Might be the most overrated BBQ joint in the city. Overpriced as hell. 1 appetizer, 4 beers, 4 entrees . . . $130. Sheesh.

Sauce was way too sweet. Joe's KC has a sweet sauce, but this is on a whole different level of sweet. The meat was good, but it's not BETTER than other meat in the city.

I mean, it's not BAD, but I don't understand the hype at all.

EDIT: Forgot to add that their french fries were bland as hell. Most fast food places have better fries. Although, I did like their slightly spicy ketchup. Fries still absolutely pale in comparison to Joe's, though.

The meat was good and sides were good minus beans

Beans were not great and sauces were aids

Also, you can keep that cornbread

Well damn it. Y'all better get this shit figured out pretty quick. I'm trying to decide if I should get a reservation there for while we're in town in September, or if I should just hit up a couple of the normal spots.

This. (October for me) I'll probably only have time to hit one new place. I was thinking Q39, but I don't want to waste my shot.

What have you tried thus far? On my trips I've hit LC's, Gates, Arthur Bryants, and Oklahoma Joes. All multiple times. I was thinking Jack Stack and Q39's this time. I'm with you though, I don't want to waste my one or two shots at a place that ain't worth it.

As far as the ones I've tried so far, Gates has been the only disappointment. LC's was a very pleasant surprise.

I've had Jackstack several times and just don't get it. It's never been anything less than disappointing.

Hit all of those more than once, except LC's which I've only had at a tailgate. I'll also be having catered Joe's at a party I'll be at. Looking to hit up something besides the usual suspects. Not a huge fan of Jack Stack except for their sides. (Which will also be at the party)

I'm thinking Jack Stack is gonna be the one I leave out. I've heard that info about the sides/meat prior to this thread.

Besides, if Q39 turns out to be a flash in the pan, I'd like to be able to say I tried it while it was around.

Honestly, I think they have the best meat.

You'll get more bang for your buck at OK Joe's though. And bigger portions.

Whatever your favorite is traditionally, go with that, IMO.

if you got to get a reservation, it ain't the place

You can keep all cornbread. Nasty dry bullshit.

Never been there, but I can't imagine ever spending 25 dollars on a plate of barbecue.
