Guidebook for Kansas City
Food Scene
Besides KC Joe's, Jack Stack and Woodyard which is only 5 blocks away, this is our absolute favorite BBQ joint in town. Ribs and burnt ends with their potato casserole is the way to go, but their jalapeno cheddar sausage and smoked turkey are also out of this world!
