Q39 - Midtown

This place is a barbecue heaven! I stayed in the area for a business and I had to visit this place three times! It’s really that good. Their BBQ ribs are out of this world. It is so tender, every bite is an explosion of flavors —- smokiness, juice of the meat, and the flavors. In my last visit, since I don’t know if I’ll come back to this place again, I bought several bottles of ribs and steak rubs and BBQ sauces to bring the taste back to where I live. I hope I can comeback to this place.

I'm from California so I get pork belly nearly everywhere in LA and bacon wrapped shrimp at all the work functions. This is the best pork belly and bacon wrapped shrimp of my life. Came to Kansas City for the BBQ, Q39 was recommended to me by multiple people and I am so grateful. The only thing I didn't LOVE was the side of vegetables and the French fries. The fries were great, just compared to everything else they couldn't hold a candle. The veggies were the most basic flavorless thing. For everything they grill and smoke and BBQ here I am shocked these veggies haven't had a makeover. Grilled on a skewer would have been great. All that is to say, the brisket, burnt ends, Mr.Burns sandwich, Mac n cheese with pork belly, potato salad, and onion strings are all insane. For people like me who love condiments and sauces, the horseradish sauce for the Mr.Burns and the honey bbq that comes with the onion strings are amazing. Even the garnish with the shrimp was delicious. 10/10 would recommend. I just won't get veggies next time.

Visited here from out of state. Looked up best BBQ places in the city and found this one on the Food Network. The food here is amazing. My two guest that I brought here loved it. The sweet iced tea was great. The fries appetizer was a great start. Our meals were so delicious, we kept looking at each other with smiles and signs of approval. Great Midwestern BBQ. It was a Friday night at 8 pm, and it was very noisy, but worth the noise!

Amazing food! Convinced me I need to come back to Kansas City for a trip rather than just stopping by like we did this time. Mark (the manager I believe) was so nice and opened up the patio to let me bring my dog so I didn’t have to leave him in the car. And our waitress Cori was so sweet! She had the best recommendations and never lead us wrong! We sampled just about everything and LOVED it all! 10/10! We’ll be back!

Great bbq and staff! Very solid menu and drink menu. The brisket is perfectly cooked and not dry at all. Burnt ends were perfect! The salad was huge and very filling. Brisket sandwich spot on. Get reservations if in the evening! We went Friday afternoon around 4 for an early dinner late lunch and they were already getting really busy. Friendly crew too!
