Gates is known for its service and it’s beef on bun. The counter can be confusing as a first time. Since it is a historically known place, many of the customers know what they’re getting or have a native to help them. However when you go back, just let them know it’s your first time and they will love to help. They really are known for friendly service. Even their sign says “how May I help you?”

Jack stack, also has a barbecue lamb rib, that is in all probability, Kansas City's best kept secret. Between the lamb ribs and the beef ribs, Jack Stack has a great product.

I love Jackstack. It also depends on the location you go to. Freight house by far is the number one. The pit master has been there forever, and he also makes an amazing cheesecake. It isn’t on the menu anymore, but I know he makes it for the employees on occasion. I also love that they chop up their burnt ends and put it in the baked beans. Kansas City Joe’s is amazing. The z man is awesome. Gates is lack luster, and wouldn’t go back. Q 39 isn’t in my top go to places, but after your review I may need to give them another try.

If you ever come back you've got to ask a guide whose been here for a long time that knows all the little hole in the wall kinda places. My personal favorite, Rosedale, has been in KC for like a hundred years in the same location. So old school they only serve soda in bottles. so good and family operated. BB's lawn side is where you find your extra smokey burnt ends btw. you would have enjoyed them.
