On your next visit try Jack Stack (best baked beans in town) and Harp. Harp is moving to Overland Park KS around Labor Day weekend. I'm surprised you didn't get served the Andy Reid special at Q39 (LOL),
New up-and-comers Wolfpack, Chef J, and Harps. Haprs has been written up in several national publications and rated the best in the country. These are more Texas-style. PS Joe's is Travis and his mom's favorite BBQ joint although I doubt he can eat there anymore. .
Dude, you should have reviewed the beans. I drove from New Jersey with a cooler back to Joe's and got myself a gallon of them. One of the best things I've ever eaten on the road.
You had me laughing on the floor within the first 48 seconds! I am new to your channel and didn't know where you were from. I'm glad you liked the KC BBQ. Being from Buffalo, NY you should try the wings at The Peanut on Main St. I would be curious to know what you think of them. Again, new to your channel so don't know if you have already done a video on that. I'll search your channel to see.
I've never been much of a barbecue fan, but man...after watching this video, I might have to rethink some things! All of the ribs you tried looked incredible, as did the brisket. I kinda want it all now hahaha 🤤
One of the newer spots that's in North KC that has amazing BBQ is 3 Halves Brewpub and BBQ in Liberty, MO. Everyone always goes to Q39, Joe's and SLAPs when they visit KC. Sometimes the unpopular choice has the best BBQ ;)
I passed an Autozone on Palm Ave & 13th St (where San Diego & Imperial Beach meet), and someone had a smoker going full steam. This made me wish I had stopped, but 9am might have been a little too early.
KC native here, If you find yourself at Joe's again, get that Z-man but order it "Jumbo" (extra brisket) and on Texas toast instead of the kaiser roll. It gets you a much better meat-to-bread ratio.
Next time drive to Ottawa Kansas and eat at Smoked Creations BBQ! Their ribs are top notch and their hot sauce is great--everything is great then drive to Lawrence, KS and check out BIGGS BBQ
Hey come to KC anytime we appreciate you Bills fans losing (spending money) in our town 😂 but seriously great content and I appreciate the honest review- now get lost looooooooser
This is a wild comment. As a KC native, Gate's may be one of my last choices of all the iconic spots. The one's he hit are literally the highest rated for a reason.
i have wondered.. the best ribs i ever had was a joes rib ~2005 - back when i think bordain had his picture on their walls. i wonder if i'm living in the memory of that because recently when i've had it, its been good but not as good as back then..
Ya you missed a few choice spots Gates, Jack Stack to name a couple. But I'd recommend coming back during a home game. You can smell the BBQ as soon as you get close. Even a Bills fan is welcome. In addition there is nothing like going to the American Royal. You should go at least once in your life.
I recently had ribs and burnt ends at Joe's in Olathe. The ribs were so salty they were almost inedible. The the burnt ends were nothing of note either.
Forsure the least favorite bbq spots in KC, these are commercial stye bbq, if you want TRUE KANSAS CITY, MO bbq you have to hit "Gates, AB, Big T's, LC's"
Joe's BBQ is low grade dog food. You couldn't give it to me for free. Why it's popular is beyond me. Guess there is no accounting for bad taste. Fitting it's in a Gas Station.

I'm watching from Suffolk, England. The food looks excellent! I need to book a flight!
Yeah no kidding right ? Arthur Bryant’s and Gates Classic KC bbq you need it.

Harp is really good. But they're never open for dinner time.
I’ve never felt like Jack Stack was very good compared to the competition.
What's crazy is, there is like a 100 more bbq joints that are pretty damn good lol
Haha, I believe it! 😅
You should've went to LC'S. The best BBQ. Chiefs Kingdom!
Looking at the comments, I guess I F*kd up! LOL
SLAPs is #1
They were incredible!
Overrated, small portions their sauces way too sweet
Slaps has great ribs

Wolfpack has some really good brisket I get the sliced brisket sandwich all the time so tender and flavorful
Yes next time please try all of them like: Gates, Author Bryant BBQ., also could you please share which one was the best. Thanks.

You took it like a champ 👏

My mother at 78 years old lives near Slaps and Gates. I live in Independence Mo. When she needs me I pass by Slaps
See new Gareth Eats video - watches instantly
I appreciate you 👊

LC BBQ
Yep. looks like I missed LCs on this trip! We did hit Arthur Bryant's though (video on my main channel)
Love to see Slaps getting some love!
Their ribs were insane!!
Gareth, next time in KC, go to Excelsior Springs and check out Wabash BBQ. They are also pretty good. 3Halves Brewery also has some great BBQ.
I went to KC a few years ago and I hit a few BBQ joints and Joes was one of them. They had the best BBQ I tasted down there. #Go Bills!!!
Great stuff
Thank you!
KC native here,

KC is BBQ paradise
True story!
smoked turkey is great!!!!!
Agreed!
Just throwing this out there. On the ZMan, it's actually smoked provolone. I swear that is what makes that thing next level.
Joe's is the absolute best
Not bbq, but the peanut has great wings. Bryant’s, Gate’s, Smokehouse, and LC’s have to be on the list if you go back.
We actually spent 24 hours at Arthur Bryant's on the main channel 👉 ruclips.net/video/TZDspjkxPTI/видео.html
Nice video but u need to come eat this Texas BBQ. Look us up homie!
The original Arthur Bryant's near downtown kcmo is not to be missed. Several presidents have eaten there
Pretty sure he also hit there but dedicated an entire video to it. This was just extra content.
As a Raider fan, I feel you man.
👊
Copy that. Silver and Black Baby☠
There's always next year 🏈🏟️🏈till then eat BBQ
As a Browns fan, I can only feel your pain. What the heck is it with these teams along the Lake Erie shoreline, my man?
Joe's everyday but Sunday?....That sounds crazy!
Hayward's BBQ 75th Shawnee Ks Good stuff
Thanks!
Go Chiefs! You need to check out Authur Bryant’s and Gates and sons next time. 👍🏻
Next time drive to Ottawa Kansas and eat at Smoked Creations BBQ! Their ribs are top notch and their hot sauce is great--everything is great then drive to Lawrence, KS and check out BIGGS BBQ
Hey watching from the Philippines
Thank you 🙏
I grew up East of Buffalo and have been a lifelong Bills fan but live in KC so I truly feel your pain.
Brother, you're a Bills fan. It doesn't matter where you live. You'll still be feeling the pain.😂
Really love you video
i'd bet he took boxes of our National Secrets to Scotland on that sudden trip.
0:13 was a chief shown intentionally at the 13 second mark or is that just a wild coincidence being your a bills fan
I live in KC. These are the best bbq restaurants
BBs Lawnside!!!
So, this is where Jason Genova has been at. It sick, it piss!
Try smoke creations in Ottawa Kansas great barbecue
Great places! Go Chiefs!!
Go Bills!
Yesssirrr! 👊
I’m a Jets fan. Yeah I know I know 😂
joes and lc's is best, joes beans ftw as is their night of the living bbq sauce
Let's go Chiefs!!!! Joe's is the greatest.
Go Bills 🦬
Go where?
Mouth waterings🤤
Hit up RJs Bob b que shack. Mission KS
That Q39 actually looked the best.
Joes is number 1 in KC IMHO. Then there is the rest.
Fins up!!!!! Go Dolphins!!!!
Slaps in my hood❤
I’ll never not recommend slaps!

JA17
Jack Stack next time 🔥🔥
Chaaaalaaaap naman 😋😋😋🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭
Gates? hi may I help you! you did good though ... welcome to #ChiefsKingdom
I would have stopped in Gate's before Joe's
That's fair.
@@GarethEats Good video though!
This is a wild comment. As a KC native, Gate's may be one of my last choices of all the iconic spots. The one's he hit are literally the highest rated for a reason.
I'm mad 😡 where's Bates city bbq at
😊
🙏
my house is 1 minute walking distance. TBH it used to taste much better
i have wondered.. the best ribs i ever had was a joes rib ~2005 - back when i think bordain had his picture on their walls. i wonder if i'm living in the memory of that because recently when i've had it, its been good but not as good as back then..
well I hope you don't cross state lines into CO because fark the Billbboes from BBBuffalo and those Chefs over there. lol /s
❤💛 kc football and bbq🏆
I go with the second place the Ends look the best ,ribs look good.know number three The Brisket had a lot of flavor.
How can you eat so much?
Dedication. 😊
Next time you come south to KC, try Rosedale BBQ. It's on the Kansas side of our city.
Oh look, honey, a RUclipsr is critiquing the Kansas City at the gas station. What an original idea!
Haha, I actually agree with you. Have you seen this one, it's much better 👉 ruclips.net/video/TZDspjkxPTI/видео.html
Also try Brobecks BBQ in Overland Park and Haywards BBQ pit in Shawnee
The only thing at which Buffalo excels is losing.
not the best. Try LCs BBQ their Burnt ends are best in KC. Best Ribs are actually in St Louis at Pappys Smokehouse.

In addition there is nothing like going to the American Royal. You should go at least once in your life.
If you come all the way to KC and don’t go to Arthur Bryant’s or Gates, what’s even the point?
He did go to Arthur Bryant's, it's on his main channel.
Bryant’s sucks. All rep. Tastes terrible. People who think it’s good are not reliable people.
You mean like this 👉 ruclips.net/video/TZDspjkxPTI/видео.html
👊
@@Hannibalmiles8494 I don’t think you saw what I said about Joes. It was NOT complimentary.
Was not impressed by slaps. Those ribs looked stewed. The brisket was poorly trimmed lean. Hope it tasted better than it looked.
OKLAHOMA Joe's is not even the best BBQ in that general neighborhood. 😂
Joes bbq aint what it used to be it has gone down hill
As a broncos fan...screw the queefs..kelce..swift...and all swifties
👊
As a chargers fan here and I live here in Kansas city Missouri..I feel the same way🤷🏿♂️
I recently had ribs and burnt ends at Joe's in Olathe. The ribs were so salty they were almost inedible. The the burnt ends were nothing of note either.
This is a far cry from BBQ cooked in oil drums cut in half and hinged that I'm used to.

I had burnt ends at Joe’s. They sucked so bad. They keep the chunks sitting in salty grease. So bad.
14:34 looks like Slaps sure likes to slice their brisket pretty thin. there is only one reason to slice brisket that thin 🙄🤐
That’s not the best.
Which one is?
Joe’s sucks.
Joes needs to dress up their crap brisket with lots of stuff on the sandwich because the brisket tastes like old, wet, rancid newspapers.
Spoken like someone who eats old, wet, rancid newspapers.
Buffalo wings suck.
Hahaha, now I know you can't be trusted.
@@GarethEats That is more my personal opinion.
You’re not even in the real Kansas City man
He needs to go to the more hood barbecue spots like LC’s
You mean like this 👉 ruclips.net/video/TZDspjkxPTI/видео.html
How about now 👉 ruclips.net/video/TZDspjkxPTI/видео.html
There are over 110 BBQ restaurants in KC. Q39 is the best but over-priced. Should have went to GATES or BRYANTS - they are the legendary KC joints.

I respect the opinion - but you gotta give me some recommendations if you're going to say that...
@@GarethEatsharps is one I recommend and Jack stack for their crown prime beef rib
Joes is not an institution. It's barely 20 years old. Where did you Get your BS into?
Gimme your top 5
@@GarethEats Gates, Jackstack, LCs, Jazzy B's and Jone's BBQ.
Everyone from kc is crying in the comments 😂😂😂😂😂
Haha, yep! I knew I couldn't win unless I did "Top 25 KC BBQ Joints" 😂 Even then people would complain about the order LOL
Joe’s sucks.
