Smokin' Guns BBQ.  http://www.smokingunsbbq.com/restaurant.jsp   Their rub is used by a many comp cooks on the different Q circuits and they have won numerous titles competing.  They have also been on Triple D with Guy Fieri.

I'm partial to Oklahoma Joes whenever I make it out there....

I've eaten at several places in KC and can't say I've ever had bad BBQ anywhere. However my personal favorite would be Jacks Stack. Their burnt ends are great! I have to add though that's it's been years since I've been down there but they were always worth the trip before.

That would be funny. Come from Oklahoma and eat at Oklahoma joes? Lol

I've only heard good things about Oklahoma Joes. but no matter where you go chances are you will find some good BBQ.

I live an hour from KC... Smoking Guns, Jack Stack & Oklahoma Joes are the Best... Then you have Gates and Arthur Bryants that are pretty good also...

I used to love Gates...think their bbq sauce is still great, especially the spicy.  But, they have went incredibly downhill.  Their restaurants are extremely filthy and greasy everywhere and I and my whole family are scared to eat there anymore.  My brother lives in KC and he also refuses to go there anymore.  Just one mans opinion though.  Jack Shack is very good and would be my second choice, kudos to their burnt ends.

We ate at Oklahoma joes on fri night, got ribs, brisket, pork chili, beans, slaw, and daughter got pulled pork sandwich. All was good, but only ribs were great. What a great environment though!!! Comp style ribs available to the public!!

Little shack in Leavenworth is the best. Good food service and big portions. Then Ok Joes and the others.

Now had it been a week later I would say my house. Although just outside the city I have some butts getting ready for the smoker as we speak.

I just fired up the smoker in Joetown, about to be a good one.
