Thanks for the new updates. We actually never made it to KC for Xmas, but we’re definitely going in late July. I’ll be there for three days of BBQ eating and museum visiting.

Have to jump in on the side of K&M in Spring Hill, KS. The quality and quantity can’t be beat. The sauce is about the best I’ve tasted. The meat is great. You HAVE to try the Killer….! The building is new and the service is outstanding.

In defense of Bryant’s, I really believe the “attitude” is a part of the overall concept. I just think it gives the joint a bit of personality. The beef is usually pretty tasty, and not overly smokey or fatty. The sauce in my opinion is the weakest aspect of the bbq joint. I have always likened to watered down, salted up, Heinze 57!

I would throw in GATES BBQ as a pretty good place to go. Great sauce, meat portions could be more generous for the price you pay. Like the site will post more in the future…

Sorry I didn’t catch you before your trip back last Christmas…if you make it back, I have to give a 2nd to K&M in Spring Hill. I went there for the 1st time this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also like Rosedale BBQ for their ribs, although I have never had any other items there…and of course, you have the obligatory Gates BBQ. Good, consistent food.

Thanks for the sympathy from a local – it’s apparently heretic to dislike Arthur Bryant’s, at least that’s what other websites have said about my post.

I agree with you on Arthur Byrant’s
My wife and I moved here a year ago and we have always wanted to try it, I think it was the name and notoriety that the place has. I have to admit I was not impressed. My wife took her chicken back because it was to dry.
We havbe found another place that is excellent outside of KC in a town called Soring Hill KS it is called K & M BBQ. Check it out that offer an item on thier menue that is called The Killer Combo, it is a 3 meat sandwich that will blow your mind.
Give it a shot next time you are in town.
and yes Oklahoma Joe’s is BBQ heaven

I’m out of town now, but I found BBQ heaven at Oklahoma Joe’s before I left. I’ll be back in KC around Christmas, so I’ll check out Beauchamps when I get back, and make another trip to Oklahoma Joe’s.

Sorry your visit was a disappointment. If you are still in town try Smokin’ Joes Oklahoma BBQ on the Kansas Side.
There’s a new/old place out in Downtown Lee’s Summit called Beauchamps on the Rail. It’s hard to get to because of road construction but I had the short end there a few nights ago and thought it was pretty good.
Hope you have a good stay!
