Best barbecue in Kansas City which is saying a lot with Jack Stack, Bryant's. For true "back if the gas station experience" go to the original location. But the food at Roe is as good and bigger space

AD Nys

Once you’re inside the front door and AC kicks in you’re good. Go Cowboy dinner if you can’t decide — it’s all ????.

Erik Rowley

Not the original gas station setting but the food is all the same. I like the winding queue line they have to the order counter, I felt like I was at a theme park waiting to ride to BBQ heaven.

Amy

I love that I can get the Z-man with chicken or Portobello mushrooms . The fries are amazing and the spicy slaw has the right amount of heat.

Donovan

Really good food and fast service even though they were packed. Burnt ends are great but can be a bit salty. Try the brisket sandwich .

Greg Lang

Had a full slab of ribs with a side of baked beans . Traditional but filling. Customers eat and leave so while it is busy, tables turn over regularly.

Joel Araguz

Get in line , order, pay, wait for the food, THEN sit down. And it's worth the wait. Good sauce, great ribs , good sausage & pulled pork . Not much to say about the brisket (dry) but a good experience

Simon Kuo

Some of my favorite ribs in town . If you are in the mood for something that is less meaty, the red beans and rice is often overlooked but it's great!

Tom Nelson

The food here is ALWAYS excellent. I am from out of state so may not be as experienced BUT still find this to be the best BBQ in KC !

Bobbie McLellan

Ribs brisket and pulled pork . Great sides too. Gumbo and red beans and rice

lauren wells

Dont let anyone tell you differently. Okie Joe's is the best BBQ in KC - hands down. Get the Z-Man and fries .

Sam smith

Order your sandwich on Texas toast to really take it to the next level or to try an old favorite in a whole new light.

Chelsea Kuzmin

Amazing BBQ , sausage is one of my favorites. Fries are really good too, and you get so much with one order.

Mike Chamberlain

Everything is good here. Try the salad with smoked chicken if you want to avoid some of the carbs.

Tara P

Chicken Z-Man, so good you'll wanna slap your Grandma.

Tim Martineau

One of the best bbq places in kansas city . Order anything. You can't go wrong. But be prepared to stand in line . Its not a secret anymore

Sean Cunningham

If you like good smoked meat , then pick anything off the menu , it's all good. Best BBQ in KC .

Everything is good at Joe's, but the Z-Man is my go-to brisket sandwich in KC

Burnt ends with extra pickles makes me heart sing!

The Z-man and fries are a great combo. It's what they're known for.

The Portobello Z-Man sandwich started as a #MeatlessMonday special but is now available every day. Enjoy!

Behind the counter, The staff is lively and yells... Yet it's at each other. Unlike Gates where they yell at you.

The burnt ends platter was delicious!

Best bbq in KC . Try the chicken gumbo as a side.
