I was a little worried seeing a line out the door and I had a 2 year old and 9 month old BUT I am so glad I did! It was about 25 minutes in line and we had our food. Finding a table was easy! We sat and met the sweetest people in line so the line was such a fun time 🙂 we ordered burnt ends and were in love! We also had ribs that were really good and amazing dirty rice! And super yummy corn! The ribs were good but I thought the burnt ends were better. They have tons of high chairs so you don’t have to hunt one down. My kids happily ate so I can’t be anymore happy! We will be back!

We had to make a stop at KC Joe’s while traveling from WI to TX. Love that they’ve opened additional locations. We walked right in, got our food and a table immediately during lunch hour. Food was superb and as good as the original location. Hard to pass up on the ribs, but the Chicken Z-Man was fantastic and worth every extra dime.

Great atmosphere, awesome food. They’re super busy (because it’s so good) so prepare. The line goes pretty quick and they have a very good system for pumping out food, but when the foods this good, there’s going to be a wait (and it’s worth it!)

Bigger than original location, with food just as good as original location. Smells amazing walking in the door, and Pepsi products to boot. Pulled pork and ribs are fantastic, brisket is pretty good–thin-sliced and pink on the edges, but it doesn’t have the candied outside like Texas brisket, just fyi.

If you are looking for amazing BBQ in Kansas City, look no further than Joe’s KC. Everything is amazing. I recommend their burnt ends, Carolina pulled pork, and Z-man the most. The best side they have are their fries. One order can cover 2 people. If you have a vegetarian friend with you they have a portobello mushroom version of the Z-man. All are truly welcome.

This place is awesome, we were visiting from out of town, we got the Z-man! Oh it’s so good, I am from Texas, and this was good BBQ! The sauce is very very good, the “hot bbq” is good, has good flavor. For a Texan, it’s not really spicy, but still very good.

There is something to be said for consistency and I can honestly say that in my many years of visiting Joe’s KC BBQ I have never once had a bad meal there. The BBQ is often held up as “best in the city” and that title is deservedly earned. I would say the ribs are the standout here and would put them up against anyone in the city. The “Z-Man” sandwich is also great. With an enormous side of fries, you will not leave this place hungry. No matter what type of meat you like, you will find something to your liking at Joe’s.

Yes I know Joe’s is known for pork, ribs and brisket but…. give their chicken a shot. It is outstanding for a BBQ change of pace. Overall a great experience, good selection of sides and fast service.

I thought this place was pretty good barbecue. Not the best but pretty good. Seemed a little but “chainish” and not as authentic as some but still pretty decent.

Have been twice now (both times drove about 4 hours to get there!) and it is well worth the trip. Easily the best burnt ends I have ever had, melts like butter in your mouth. Mac and cheese is scrumptious. I’m looking forward to my next visit! Staff was super friendly, don’t be afraid if there is a line, it moves at light speed, even if there looks to be about 50 people in front of you.
