Heading to Kansas City next month...suggestions?

1....Q39
2....SLAPS(Squeal Like a Pig)
3.....Joe's KC

As far as staying, which part of the town are you visiting?

You can always stay at some of the river boats,but I'd prolly check out the Hollywood casino/Legends area of KC,KS. It has Cabelas right there, that is pretty cool to check out.

When you go to Joes KC, make sure it's the one on Stringline rd, the KC BBQ store is very close by.

Jack Stack is good stuff. Here's a thread from yesterday with more ideas. Also here's a good article on a few places, although it doesn't have plowboys cause they weren't open yet. Really want to try plowboys.

I'd add Smokin Gun's restaurant to the list, Phil and Linda do a great job.

I gotta try this place my next trip up.

Q39, and Plowboys were my favorite

Lc's is my favorite.

While your checking out the breweries, stop by the Holladay distillery in Weston it's worth the trip.

Q39, Joe's KC, Smokin' Guns, LC's are all good. I'd suggest staying somewhere downtown as all these places are a fairly close Uber away. Plus most of what's hot in KC right now is within reach from downtown. If you want a non-BBQ night we just opened a pretty damn nice, if I do say so myself, steakhouse called Stock Hill. As far as breweries we recently had a really nice time at the taproom at Torn Label. It's small but it had a really nice neighborhood vibe. I could go on and on. I love my home town and there's some really awesome stuff happening here right now.

Is Stock Hill your place? I just checked out the menu. Looks great. The lamb meatballs would be my appetizer. I'd have to have more time to decide for my entree. I'll have to check it out next time I'm there. Looks like a really nice place.

I'm all smokin guns, I may be bias though they have family up my way and had the privilege a couple years so have some of them burnt ends fresh out of his smoker during deer camp!!

I wish. I just work there.

I live, work and entertain in Kc on the regular. They have been some great suggestions but I'm going to go against the grain.

Arthur Bryants 1727 Brooklyn Ave, Kansas City, MO 64127
(Sliced Pork/Sausage)(to go)

Gates BBQ 1221 Brooklyn Ave, Kansas City, MO 64127
(Turkey & a 1/2)

LC's BBQ 5800 Blue Pkwy, Kansas City, MO 64129
(Ribs & Brisket)

Joes Kc 3002 West 47th Avenue, Kansas City, KS 66103
(Chicken & Pulled Pork)

Those are all real Kc BBQ, Do yourself a favor and only go to the address's listed. Those are the original and the best.

Q39 1000 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO 64111
(burnt ends)(Brisket burger)
Make sure when you go to q39 you make reservations or go to the bar. Amazing food just pretty highscale and full of 39th street hipsters.

Some other places you should try while in kc....

Grinders 417 E 18th St, Kansas City, MO 64108
(cheese steak)

Rhythm and booze 423 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108
(rhythm monkey)Ask for horseradish sauce

Up/Down 101 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108
Actually this is a arcade, but amazing pizza and beer. all the games are .25 its a pretty amazing time.

Manny's 207 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108
Best Mexican in KC.

Dagwood's 1117 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, KS 66103
Legit breakfast place

Donut lounge 4117 Pennsylvania Ave, Kansas City, MO 64111
Amazing off the wall stuff

Broadway Coffee 4106 Broadway St, Kansas City, MO 64111
Grab you donuts and head here.

Fidels 4112 Pennsylvania Ave, Kansas City, MO 64111
Cigar bar, Great selection awesome smoke room

Most of the one's listed are good. If this is your first time I'd hit the original Joe's K.C. (formally Oklahoma Joes, I think they had a name dispute or something and just changed it) in Kansas City, Kansas (it's in a gas station, google it).

If it's a weekend you need to get there before 11am if you don't want to wait in line. It's not a bad wait, but you kill a half hour in line possibly. Be ready with your order when you get to the front of the line and definitely order a Z-man sandwich. It is a brisket sandwich with a fried onion ring. What's not to love about that? Farking good.

I'd stay away from the big boys personally. Especially Gates. Like their sauce, but never had good que there.

KC's got some good breweries now too. Boulevard Brewing has a pretty awesome tap house where you can try experimental beers and other seasonals that you can't buy in the store.
