The 14 Best BBQ Restaurants in Kansas City - Eater

"Sisters Deborah (“Little”) Jones and Mary (“Shorty”) Jones Mosley scored national attention after their 2019 appearance on Queer Eye. But locals have long been fans of the sisters for their exceptional ribs, rib tip sandwiches, and burnt ends. Jones Bar-B-Q is a no-frills roadside joint with just a few picnic tables in the sun, it’s only open for lunch, and many days the Jones sisters sell out before closing. But if you miss the boat, you can always grab a turkey sandwich or a bottle of the restaurant’s signature sauce from the barbecue vending machine they installed on-site during the pandemic. The Jones sisters stay innovating; the city stays better for it." - Liz Cook
