The 32 Essential Restaurants in Kansas City

"Expect to hear “Hi, may I help you?” shouted like one compound word the second you step through the doors of one of the city’s oldest continuously operating barbecue spots. If you need a second to consider your order, just ask — but you can’t go wrong with the Nooner, a bun piled with both thin-sliced brisket and chopped burnt ends. Gates is a local chain with a few locations, but the Main Street restaurant has a relaxed vibe and space to sprawl, with something new to discover in each corner." - Liz Cook
