Arthur Bryant's Barbeque
6 expert reviews
“Although there are more than 100 barbecue joints in Kansas City, Bryant's—low on decor but high on taste—tops the list for locals, who don't mind standing in long lines to order at the counter.”

"A few blocks east of 18th and Vine, this unpretentious self-serve restaurant, with origins stretching back to the early 1920s, is the most famous -- and, some swear, the best -- barbecue joint in town."

"Not far from the Jazz District, this famous institution serves up piles of superb BBQ in a somewhat slick setting. The sauce is silky and fiery."

"It’s the oldest BBQ spot in town, and seriously, everyone’s been here...stop by to try their tomato-forward original sauce that has a similar taste and consistency to a thick Bloody Mary"
