There is NO BETTER BBQ..... ANYWHERE. Whenever we visit family in KC, this is the first and last place. We ALWAYS bring back a cooler full of brisket.

Some of the most famous bbq in all of KC. The pulled pork is my favorite. It has soooo much flavor. It is very moist and tender. The sandwiches are almost too much for one person.

KC landmark. All big wigs have there pic on the wall. Presidents visit Bryants when in town. The neighborhood is scary, so dont go after dark, but other than that its one of the best bbq joints in town.

Located not far from the Jazz Museum, this resturant ranks up at the top for goooood barbeque. Ribs are served "dry", no sauce, and just fall off the bone. Sandwiches are big, I mean really big and are served with fries. Pictures on walls indicate that a few famous people have stopped by to get a taste of this barbeque. A MUST stop when in the area.

My KC flavortite for years. This is an old-time BBQ joint. No frills. The meat is served "wet" (with some fat). This is great without the sauce. The sauce is good. This is one of America's landmark BBQs. It may not be your favorite location and the decor may be a little rough but this is a 5 star for the real thing.

The food here is outstanding. The portion of meat they give you is HUGE. The one and only thing that wasn't great was the BBQ sauce. Other than that it is great.

With one of the salty/spicy sauces (a la Gates and Sons) rather than sweet sauces (a la KC Masterpiece), this restaurant has carved out a name for itself in a VERY competitive BBQ market. The wait is a bit long, but the food is quite good and the sauce, like it or leave it, is at least original. This is one of the restaurants you just have to try for yourself. You'll either make it a regular destination, or avoid it forever for one of the many alternatives in KC, but you just have to try for yourself to figure out which side of the fence you belong on.

Excellent smoked meats. Their sauce is an acquired taste that many people don't care for. Serving size is large. One sandwich is enough for two people. You definately get what you pay for. Visitors should give it a try.

This is the most over rated BBQ joint in KC. The food is greasy and the sauce is awful. Try this place at your own risk but don't say I did'nt warn you!
