Blues, beer, and barbecue! What more could you ask for? BB's, a rather bare-bones place, was opened by blues lovers Lindsay and Jo Shannon, whose combined music collection numbers more than 5,000 blues recordings. Don't judge by appearance – the barbecue spot is a diner's delight. Pork ribs, battered fries, baked beans, jambalaya, and crawfish...

Exterior shot of Danny Edwards Famous Kansas City Barbecue This BBQ joint has a massive following. It's no secret why – brisket sandwiches are renowned for their size and flavor, and the ribs, dry-rubbed before smoking, enjoy a strong reputation as well. Sides include heaping helpings of slaw and pasta salad – the absence of a deep fryer (and thus onion rings and fries) doesn't seem to bother anyone....

From the outside, Oklahoma Joe's looks like little more than a swanky corner mart. As a matter of fact, you CAN fill up your car's tank here – unleaded, premium, super, whatever! After you've filled up with gas, make sure you take care of your tummy. Appearances aside, what you'll find at this Mission Road gem may just be some of KC's best and...

There's little that's fancy about this BBQ pit located in the downtown Warehouse District, but it's a KC local favorite if there ever was one. Dating back to the 1930s, Rosedale serves some of the spiciest, most irresistible plates in town – many of them bearing founder Anthony Rieke's unmistakable Southwestern-style sauce. Choose your just...

In a city where everybody and his brother purport to have the "best barbecue around," Smokehouse stands out, thanks in large part to its mouthwatering burnt end platters and its hickory-smoked beef brisket served with fries, Texas toast, and cole slaw. If you want to go another route, consider a Polish sausage platter, rib plate, hickory-smoked...
