That's because KC BBQ sucks compared to Central Texas BBQ. I've been to several of the top KC joints and they're Ok. I like Q39 and Joe's but they're not Texas BBQ. It also depends on what you like. If you like your meat slathered in sauce with weak smoke flavor and not existent brisket bark, KC is the place for you.

As a Kansas City area resident I had a difficult time watching this. The experience seemed to be sub par. I would hate for KC BBQ to be judged by this video. I understand the idea for this tour was inspired by Ted Lasso (love the show). It is a shame that none of the places put out their best. As some of the other commenters have said . .. there is better BBQ to be had in KC. Joe's should have fared better . . . rated number 1 in the country in the past. Glad to see these folks in town.

I left the exact same comment over at Knox: Lifetime Kansas City resident here: I really like how you came to town to give it all a try, and I agree, our restaurants are fine but they've been such a staple for so long that they're really nothing to write home about (though there are a few I will defend until the day I die!). But, and this is where you may have missed out, the best BBQ in Kansas City is 100% the backyard and competition folks. There isn't a weekend (or weeknight, really) that goes by without someone in my neighborhood smoking something amazing. A lot of us here make our own sauces and rubs as well and hold on to our 'secret' recipes as if they were the next milliion dollar idea, and I think some of them really could be. I recommend coming to the American Royal competition or the Lenexa BBQ competition and finding the blue collar KC folks that will definitely be there competing. You won't regret it.

Half fat, half meat, meat as tough as shoe leather. And I've never had burnt ends there that I didn't have to take home and cook for another 2 hours. Their sauce is great in a city full of sauces, especially with their fries. But my goodness, I have a hard time taking a chance anymore on going there.

I agree with this comment. I’d also say that if you want to do this right, you should (a) go at the right time of day (when they aren’t out of stuff or in between shifts) and (b) have somebody from KC help you order. I’d guess that 90% of the orders at Gates are “beef on bun,” not ribs. And you have to understand where these places fit into the ecosystem. Gates is somewhere in between a pizza parlor and a fast food joint; it’s quick, it’s reliable, but nobody in KC will honestly tell you that they turn out great BBQ compared to some of the other joints. It’s where a bunch of kids get dinner after baseball practice. And Jack’s Stack is cloth napkin BBQ…it’s just in a different category. Arthur Bryant’s is historic; it’s like the place in Connecticut that claims to have invented the hamburger. Do most people think it’s best of breed? No, but it’s historic, it helped put the city on the map, and it’s cultural. Joes’s is just awesome…

Hey Jeremy, I love the video. As a native Texan that lived in KC for over 5 years here are my thoughts: I get why you chose these restaurants (good ole Ted Lasso) but they are definitely not the best in KC, though they may hold the most tradition. Here’s how I rank these 4: 1st Place) Jack Stacks - ok I’m not gonna lie, you ordered completely wrong here. Jack Stack is the most consistent good place to get Burnt Ends (consistency is something I found to be lacking at most BBQ places in KC), in addition to their burnt ends I recommend getting the BBQ Baked Beans and cheesy corn. If that’s what you had ordered I think you would’ve placed at the top of the list of the 4. 2nd place) OK Joes (Joes KC now). Honestly their Z-Man is always an enjoyable sandwich but it is fully dependent on the sauce. KC Joes has the best bbq sauce in their world, especially their spicy sauce. (With a close competition to Mitch’s Whomp sauce in KC). I’m convinced if you didn’t have sauce on the Z-Man it’d be simply average. The other thing that’s great there is their seasoned fries, not necessarily a bbq staple but they’re dang good. So if I’m on the mood for a quick bbq lunch, the Z-Man and fries hit the spot. I’ve never been impressed by their ribs or pulled pork though. 3rd Place) Gates- honestly I find it greasy and not that good, the sauce is decent but not the bbq Lastly, Arthur Bryant’s is trash. Both times I went I couldn’t finish my bbq and the service wasn’t great. Ribs were dry and unflavorful So of these 4 “tourist trap” bbq places I’d say Jack stacks has the most consistent bbq, and Ok Joes is a good bbq sandwich and fries combo

We went on our own KC BBQ tour in 2022 from Minnesota. Other than Arthur Bryant because it had been around so long, we asked around on where to go after we got there. We went to Arthur Bryant's, Joe's KC, Q39, Jack Stack, and SLAP (Squeal Like A Pig - love that😅) Of those, for pure BBQ atmosphere I go with both Arthur Bryant's and SLAP first, followed by Joe's, Q39 and Jack Stack. We actually got off the plane and went directly to Arthur Bryant's before checking into our hotel. Q39 was all around good but it felt a bit modern. The Jack Stack we went to was walking distance to our hotel (kind of by the WW1 Museum) and seemed very nice, very upscale but the food was only so so. Joe's was a good experience and the food was very good. But if I had to pick one of them it's SLAP. The food was fantastic. We ate outside on a covered porch and hey, there was a guy playing his guitar outside. So here's where I'd rank them for food (purely our experience) SLAP, Joe's, Q39, Arthur Bryant, Jack Stack. We had a great time in KC. There was no way we had time to hit more than we did because you can only eat so much. I highly recommend the Hotel Indigo at Crowne Center. Excellent people and service and we walked to a lot of stuff from there. Also, if you go to the World War 1 Museum plan on at least a half day. There's so much to see. Pay the extra for the tower. We went because I'm a vet and my grandfather was in The Great War. He lost a lung to mustard gas. We saw Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial so this was a must see for me. The Power and Light District was pretty cool. I could see watching a band there or a Chiefs game with that monstrous big screen. (Minus the Taylor Swift shots though). Also, take the best brewery tour we've been on (and that's a lot of them) at Boulevard. Right by the KCBS offices coincidentally. The farmers market was not going on outside but the Italian place in there had great gelato. And the steamboat museum was pretty interesting. I know that was a bit off topic but we weren't sure what to expect going there but we had a great time and the food was good. I highly recommend a 3 or 4 day trip.

Next time try Rosedale BBQ, Q39, LC's and Slaps. Most out of towners are told to go to Jack stack which is really good, Gates which is nothing to be proud of and Arthur Bryants which is just ok. Way more better places to go in KC!

What do you think makes such a drastic difference? Cooking/Smoking methods? Type of wood?

Most kc bbq is done in a rotisserie smoker. Very few places use real wood here.

It looks like you came to KC and didn't eat at any of our best BBQ spots. Hats off for hitting the traditional joints in Gates & Bryants, but if you left town without trying Harp or Chef J you didn't have KC Craft BBQ.

Wish you would have been able to try the brisket (sans sauce) at Bryant's. While they can be inconsistent, I feel that they're the closest you're going to get to Texas style in KC. When Bryant's is on, I don't think that there's anything better.

Harp is Texas style and is supposed to be the best in the area.

Joe's is better than just "not bad." Your comments on Bryant's was spot on. Gate sis different. I haven't been in back but I don't believe Jack Stack smokes on site at the Freight House. I would like to see how you rated Q39. Great review at the end.

The only experience i have of proper bbq in the uk is a small chain in London called bodeans, ive been there several times and it's fantastic. the top of my bucket list is to visit America and try bbq from all over.

All of these BBQ joints are massively corporate and/or on their second or third generation of ownership. Joe's and Q39 smoke all of their meats offsite in an industrial kitchen. Hopefully you come back and try some of the places that still focus on quality BBQ like Chef J, Slap's, Night Goat, Harp BBQ, Scott's Kitchen and LC's.

Slaps BBQ is by far the best BBQ in KC. Highly disappointed you didn’t go to Slaps. Joe’s BBQ doesn’t even hold a candle to Slaps.

We went over from the UK in 2017 and did a very similar set of restaurants plus a few more. Heard you mention Q39 which while also did. I think it's always good to pay respects to the other styles of BBQ around the US the you end up knowing why your favourite is your favourite
