We are driving down to KC and I usually go to Gates, but want to try something different this time around.
I'm looking to go to the absolute best BBQ joint in the KC area for dinner tonight and figured you guys would know best. Maybe a few of you want to come out and eat with us.
What say you, CP?

Danny Edwards was originally located where the Sprint Center is now. They were a daytime only restaurant, dinky place with only a few seats. Their slogan was "Eat It And Beat It." Now they're on Southwest Boulevard right next to Ponak's. Their BBQ is very good, but my biggest gripe is they are still a daytime only business. Lunch only, not open for dinner. That's just the way they do it. Their sauce is a coffee colored spicy sauce. Unique and very tasty. [Reply]
The only Gates that's still quality is the one on Cleaver II/47th.
I was a Bryant's man (18th and Brooklyn only) for most of my life, but it's gone to shit.
LC's is still pretty good; inconsistent but lower ceiling, but higher floor. The Mitch Trubisky of KC BBQ. LOL.
Joe's is very consistent across the board. Sad, but it's probably true that it's overall the best these days.
I usually grab Gates to go from the aforementioned spot when I want BBQ because I live nearby. [Reply]

This afternoon I made a delivery to one of my customers in Olathe. So I stopped in at Joe's for lunch. Got a half slab of ribs with fries, beans and a strawberry soda.
Just got back from Danny Edwards BBQ. I had the "Monday Special" (1 sandwich + 1 side) pulled pork sandwich and fries for only $6.99. It was tasty, and I feel like I got my money's worth. [Reply]

Yep I ate there nearly every day while working during construction or ATT Town Pavilion used to set the pig statue out at entrance. The City forced them out of there with eminent domain and wouldnt let him be a part of the P&L district. The funny thing was the were their forever successfully yet all the original eateries have pulled out of P&L. It seems there was a Edwards in Waldo at one time to.
Actually I think it was called Jake Edwards BBQ in Waldo. Maybe a relation I dunnoActually Jake Edwards was Danny's father and the place by what is now Sprint was call Lil Jake's Eat It and Beat It named for Danny the son. Jake Edwards started a restaurant during the great depression and started his BBQ joint at 83rd and Wornall in the Waldo district. [Reply]

I's full and need a nap now.
I fancy getting Barq's red creme soda when I go there. A rarity in this region. [Reply]
I was in KC last night and thru lunch today. Went to Jack Stack for lunch and it was great. Today's Soup was Burnt Ends Stew. It was off the charts. Had the Hot Russ I think it was called. Not he Poor Russ the other one. It was great as well. The Burnt Ends Stew though was just wow! [Reply]
