The 13 Best BBQ Spots In Kansas City, Ranked 2024
"Located 25 minutes north of downtown, Scott’s Kitchen is far enough out of Kansas City that there are other places for BBQ we’d send you to first. But its proximity to the airport means we’d be mad if you flew into KC and didn’t stop in for their BBQ and pulled rib tacos with Alabama white sauce. Their sampler platters can feed anywhere from two to six people and include charred burnt ends, ghost pepper sausage, and some of the best sides in KC: delicious baked beans loaded with chunks of burnt ends and refreshingly spicy coleslaw with apples and jalapeños. This is also one of the few places in town that does BBQ for breakfast—they open at 7am, so you can have a burnt ends burrito waiting for you after that Sunday night red-eye." - ryan bernsten
