Kansas City Roll Call (B12 Tournament)
- Thread starter I@ST1
- Start date
I have more vacation time than I know what to do with and I honestly couldn't think of a worse way to spend it.
Things I'd rather do than go to KC this year:
I live in KC and Q39 is my go to. The people who don’t say Q39 usually say KC Joes, which you can’t really go wrong either way. I also like Char Bar in Westport near Kelly’s if your already going there.
Agree with you on Char Bar, though the wait can be nuts. Joe's is great if you want to do carry-out, and eat socially-distanced, and Q39 had the advantage of taking reservations, if there was a time you were shooting to eat for sure.
Been every year in KC since 1987. Sat in a nearly empty Sprint Center last year and watched us choke vs OSU, and then they announce remainder of tourney canceled.
Not missing a year. ISU MBB is much bigger than HCSP.

Have you heard what's up with LC's now that he passed away, my favorite beans in KC, and I just like food and atmosphere of the place. Seeing the open BBq doors as you walk in, a floor slick from the smoke of the pit. It isn't fancy or even nice but it had a lot of character and good food.
QAnon might be gathering at Q39. Cancel culture activate.
Places for Q:
Completely overrated:
- Jack Stack - there is much better bbq to be had and especially at their prices
- Gates - Straight up trash
- Bryants - Slightly better than Gates
- Slaps - Don't get the rage. Been there twice and it was totally mediocre
My favorites:
- Danny Edwards - Been my joint for almost a decade. Love the burnt ends, fries, and sauce. People that work their/own it are also good people. Hours (11-3) can make it tough to eat there.
- Joes - I always try to avoid the gas station locatoin as it's a major PIA. If it's someone's first time I get you gotta try it once.
- Q39 - Not the best value but the food is pretty amazing.
- Blind Box - Likely has the best collection of sides in the metro and the Q is great too. Only place I'm aware of where you can choose if you want your burnt ends fattier/less fattier.
- The Junction - It's a newer place, only been open for about a year in Lenexa, but the food is great. Their Q Rangoons are the bomb.
- Hawg Jaw - Probably some of the best value in the metro. I think I got a craft beer with my meal for 2.50 and couldn't believe it.
- A Little BBQ Joint - It's way the hell out of the way in Independence, but the food is worth the drive
- Roscoes - Same as above.

Char Bar is another good location. Between the wait and the portions (if you are looking to get food for the buck) are the biggest downsides.
It's actually the KC Chamber of Commerce that will be funding the buyout.
