What's crazy is, there is like a 100 more bbq joints that are pretty damn good lol

On your next visit try Jack Stack (best baked beans in town) and Harp. Harp is moving to Overland Park KS around Labor Day weekend. I'm surprised you didn't get served the Andy Reid special at Q39 (LOL),

SLAPs is #1

You should've went to LC'S. The best BBQ. Chiefs Kingdom!

New up-and-comers Wolfpack, Chef J, and Harps. Haprs has been written up in several national publications and rated the best in the country. These are more Texas-style. PS Joe's is Travis and his mom's favorite BBQ joint although I doubt he can eat there anymore. .

My mother at 78 years old lives near Slaps and Gates. I live in Independence Mo. When she needs me I pass by Slaps

Dude, you should have reviewed the beans. I drove from New Jersey with a cooler back to Joe's and got myself a gallon of them. One of the best things I've ever eaten on the road.

As a Raider fan, I feel you man.

You took it like a champ 👏

See new Gareth Eats video - watches instantly

KC is BBQ paradise

Great stuff

I've never been much of a barbecue fan, but man...after watching this video, I might have to rethink some things! All of the ribs you tried looked incredible, as did the brisket. I kinda want it all now hahaha 🤤

Love to see Slaps getting some love!

KC native here, If you find yourself at Joe's again, get that Z-man but order it "Jumbo" (extra brisket) and on Texas toast instead of the kaiser roll. It gets you a much better meat-to-bread ratio.

smoked turkey is great!!!!!

Just throwing this out there. On the ZMan, it's actually smoked provolone. I swear that is what makes that thing next level.

I passed an Autozone on Palm Ave & 13th St (where San Diego & Imperial Beach meet), and someone had a smoker going full steam. This made me wish I had stopped, but 9am might have been a little too early.

Joe's everyday but Sunday?....That sounds crazy!

Nice video but u need to come eat this Texas BBQ. Look us up homie!

As a Browns fan, I can only feel your pain. What the heck is it with these teams along the Lake Erie shoreline, my man?

There's always next year 🏈🏟️🏈till then eat BBQ

You had me laughing on the floor within the first 48 seconds! I am new to your channel and didn't know where you were from. I'm glad you liked the KC BBQ. Being from Buffalo, NY you should try the wings at The Peanut on Main St. I would be curious to know what you think of them. Again, new to your channel so don't know if you have already done a video on that. I'll search your channel to see.

I go with the second place the Ends look the best ,ribs look good.know number three The Brisket had a lot of flavor.

i'd bet he took boxes of our National Secrets to Scotland on that sudden trip.

Also try Brobecks BBQ in Overland Park and Haywards BBQ pit in Shawnee

One of the newer spots that's in North KC that has amazing BBQ is 3 Halves Brewpub and BBQ in Liberty, MO. Everyone always goes to Q39, Joe's and SLAPs when they visit KC. Sometimes the unpopular choice has the best BBQ ;)

I went to KC a few years ago and I hit a few BBQ joints and Joes was one of them. They had the best BBQ I tasted down there. #Go Bills!!!

Jack Stack next time 🔥🔥

Yes next time please try all of them like: Gates, Author Bryant BBQ., also could you please share which one was the best. Thanks.

Gareth, next time in KC, go to Excelsior Springs and check out Wabash BBQ. They are also pretty good. 3Halves Brewery also has some great BBQ.

Not bbq, but the peanut has great wings. Bryant’s, Gate’s, Smokehouse, and LC’s have to be on the list if you go back.

Go Chiefs! You need to check out Authur Bryant’s and Gates and sons next time. 👍🏻

I grew up East of Buffalo and have been a lifelong Bills fan but live in KC so I truly feel your pain.

Go Bills 🦬

So, this is where Jason Genova has been at. It sick, it piss!

Oh look, honey, a RU-vidr is critiquing the Kansas City at the gas station. What an original idea!

Go Bills!

Let's go Chiefs!!!! Joe's is the greatest.

Hayward's BBQ 75th Shawnee Ks Good stuff

Really love you video

Thanks!

I’m a Jets fan. Yeah I know I know 😂

Hey watching from the Philippines

Try smoke creations in Ottawa Kansas great barbecue

The only thing at which Buffalo excels is losing.

LC BBQ

The original Arthur Bryant's near downtown kcmo is not to be missed. Several presidents have eaten there

my house is 1 minute walking distance. TBH it used to taste much better

Fins up!!!!! Go Dolphins!!!!

BBs Lawnside!!!

Slaps in my hood❤

Great places! Go Chiefs!!

JA17

I would have stopped in Gate's before Joe's

Hey come to KC anytime we appreciate you Bills fans losing (spending money) in our town 😂 but seriously great content and I appreciate the honest review- now get lost looooooooser

I'm mad 😡 where's Bates city bbq at

Mouth waterings🤤

Hit up RJs Bob b que shack. Mission KS

Ya you missed a few choice spots Gates, Jack Stack to name a couple. But I'd recommend coming back during a home game. You can smell the BBQ as soon as you get close. Even a Bills fan is welcome. In addition there is nothing like going to the American Royal. You should go at least once in your life.

Was not impressed by slaps. Those ribs looked stewed. The brisket was poorly trimmed lean. Hope it tasted better than it looked.

Chaaaalaaaap naman 😋😋😋🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭

well I hope you don't cross state lines into CO because fark the Billbboes from BBBuffalo and those Chefs over there. lol /s

How can you eat so much?

As a broncos fan...screw the queefs..kelce..swift...and all swifties

😊

I recently had ribs and burnt ends at Joe's in Olathe. The ribs were so salty they were almost inedible. The the burnt ends were nothing of note either.

Joes bbq aint what it used to be it has gone down hill

If you come all the way to KC and don’t go to Arthur Bryant’s or Gates, what’s even the point?

OKLAHOMA Joe's is not even the best BBQ in that general neighborhood. 😂

This is a far cry from BBQ cooked in oil drums cut in half and hinged that I'm used to.

❤💛 kc football and bbq🏆

14:34 looks like Slaps sure likes to slice their brisket pretty thin. there is only one reason to slice brisket that thin 🙄🤐

Joe’s sucks.

I had burnt ends at Joe’s. They sucked so bad. They keep the chunks sitting in salty grease. So bad.

That’s not the best.

Joes needs to dress up their crap brisket with lots of stuff on the sandwich because the brisket tastes like old, wet, rancid newspapers.

Buffalo wings suck.

You’re not even in the real Kansas City man

There are over 110 BBQ restaurants in KC. Q39 is the best but over-priced. Should have went to GATES or BRYANTS - they are the legendary KC joints.

There are over 110 BBQ restaurants in KC. Joe's is average and over-priced.

Everyone from kc is crying in the comments 😂😂😂😂😂

Joes is not an institution. It's barely 20 years old. Where did you Get your BS into?

Joe’s sucks.
