This has been mentioned. https://q39kc.com/And I have been to http://www.arthurbryantsbbq.com/ And it was old school BBQ wraped in brown paper, fries and everything. Very good. The BBQ vender last year at the park treated us real good and it was under five bucks a person after the show shut down on Saturday. Ribs, pork steaks, or pulled pork with two sides of your choice. Very good meal! Hopefully Mongo or one of their group will chime in here and let us know if they will be back this year. More ideas on the agenda is welcome. Pretty sure the wife and I will be in the area, Thursday afternoon. Don

One of the best for a sit down restaurant experience. My favorite is Joe's Kansas City barbeque. It's takeout in a gas station, but well worth it. http://www.joeskc.com One can't go wrong with Arthur Bryant's but it is more like a lunch counter/diner than restaurant. There's a couple I haven't tried yet, Hawg Jaw Que & Brew, just north of the show. http://www.hawgjaw.comand Smokin' Guns BBQ a bit south-southeast of the park. http://www.smokingunsbbq.comI don't know if these are takeout, diners, or restaurants, fair warning. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,070 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,070 | So Stu, are you going to stop by and see some of the gang from near and far?

Smokehouse is the best sit down experience for good BBQ and they do very tender burnt ends. Jack Stack is good BBQ, but it is a little on the dry side (burnt ends). Joe's KC and Q39 are credited with being in the top 10 in the country, but it's a matter of taste. Joe's is a go through line, get food, eat, get out kind of place. Their fame is the Z-man, but I like the Smokie Joe (yesterday lunch). Q39 is a chef kind of place, but good. The couple of times I ate out Smoking Guns BBQ, it was decent, but ther isn't much sit down space and I don't know about hours. Go with one of those and you'll be happy.
I should be at the truck show tomorrow
