Joe's KC BBQ

Absolutely delicious and tender burnt ends, worth the hype! Red beans and rice is spicy and flavorful. Seasoned fries are good too! We waited in a long line on a Friday around 2, and enjoyed every bite on the patio under the gas station roof 😁. Spent about 70$ for two of us, including beers.

Overall my carry out meal was delicious from Joe’s but rather than the meat being the star of the show, it was actually the sides. I got a brisket and pork 2 meat dinner with sides of dirty rice and baked beans. The brisket was not super juicy and too thinly slice and the pork was so so. Often with the pork the bbq sauce is so good it doesn’t matter what the pork is like but honestly the sauce was just average. The dirty rice and baked beans were packed full of flavor but the beans definitely stole the show. I also got the bread pudding that was a perfect solid but slightly soft consistency with a crispy crunch and a melt in your mouth interior. Service is great, vibes are great inside, but the meat left something to be desired.

Get you some stickers and don’t be afraid to try the “spicy” sauce it’s not going to ruin the meal. Also fry’s orders only come in one size and that’s huge. It has a southern man the red beans and rice was fairly on point. Unique delicious and they didn’t break any rules. And they have a few beers on tap too.

Founded in 1996 by championship pitmasters, it has become one of the most famous BBQ joints in Kansas City, a city that treats burnt ends like a protected national treasure. The legendary Z Man sandwich deserves its own ZIP code. Slow smoked brisket, provolone, crispy onion rings and sauce stacked inside a Kaiser bun that holds on bravely. One bite and you understand why people queue outside a petrol station without complaining. Ribs are tender, pulled pork is juicy, and the burnt ends taste like they negotiated directly with the smoke gods. Ambience is unapologetically functi

Be prepared to wait. I went in on a Tuesday evening but still had a 30 minute wait. I didn't need to sit down so ordered online for a to-go order. I got the Z-man sandwich. Thinking it wasn't going to fill me up, I also got the gumbo, fries, and banana pudding. I was wrong and the Z-man sandwich was enough. But the chicken gumbo and pudding were also really good. So now I'm writing this review super full
