But I thought Carolina/Memphis/Texas had the best BBQ?

Top 100 places to eat

FWIW, I like just about all the different styles of BBQ.  It's just fun watching people get their panties in a wad over who's is better.

They seem to be hit and miss.  I've had decent food there, but I've also had total shit too.  Which is why I don't go there anymore.

Apparently not when it comes to BBQ/restaurants that are the top places to eat in the nation.

I can understand liking a particular style over another. But anyone who discounts KC BBQ is a grade A idiot.

I bought some Bryants BBQ sauce and thought it was horrible. Maybe the restaurant is better.

I ate at Oklahoma Joes a couple of years ago and it was just "Ok".  I had a rack or ribs and they were very salty.  My wife thought hers was just "Ok" as well.

Arthur Bryant's sauce is horrible. The meat is good and the portions are good sized. That's why I take a bottle of Gates sauce with me to Bryant's and order with no sauce. Jack Stack is very good. I have lived in KC for a long time and never been to Oklahoma Joes. I'd like to, but it sounds like a pain in the ass to go.

I ate there, OK Joes, for the first time about a year ago.  I wouldn't even put them in my top 10 list.  We've got local places that are better, IMO.

I've eaten at Gates and Oklahoma joes In the same trip. OJs blows gates away. Pappys smokehouse in STL(number. 99) blows them both away.

Any list that has Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa as #96 is absolutely crazy.

Notice how many California joints are on the list?  That tells you something right there.

Looks like the vast majority of places are in CA and NY. I can't carry in either state I guess I'll have to starve.

Or because that's where most of the lazy "uggghhh I can't make dinner after sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours" people live.  

No southern restaurants because the list would look like

1. Jim and Martha's house -  Nawlins LA
2. First Baptist Church of Hickoryville Sunday Pot Luck, Duluth GA
3. Sandy's house - Cadence GA
4. Grandma's - Anywhere south of the northern Kentucky border


People wonder why the south is fat.  I'll give you a hint.  It's not because the food sucks down here.

I used to use Yelp.  No more.  It's a fuck-parlor for biased or crooked reviews.  And yelp charges $$ to remove bad ones.

Thread title is misleading.

There is a BBQ joint in San Diego called Kansas City BBQ that is awesome and is where the bar scene in Top Gun was filmed.  

You can go sniff  sit on the bar stole Meg Ryan sat in at the piano.

As far as I know, the one restaurant they had in Oklahoma closed quite a while ago.  There are only 3 restaurants, all in KC.

ETA - just checked.  Only 3 restaurants are here in KC.  Nothing in Oklahoma, nor was it ever a "chain" of restaurants.

OK Joe's is good stuff, great fries, their beans suck though.  

JackStack burnt ends and beans, food of the gods.

I live in KC and I think OK Joe's is pretty darn good.  Third best in the nation?  Of course not.  Gates and Arthur Bryants always seem to make it on great BBQ lists, but I don't like either one at all.  My KC BBQ top list would include LC's, Plowboy's, and OK Joe's.  There's a bunch of others I hear are great, but haven't tried yet.  If you ever get the opportunity to eat Zarda BBQ, pass.  Tastes like they use creosote soaked RR ties instead of hickory to smoke with.  Even bad BBQ ain't too bad, I guess.
