We waited in line for 1 hour 20 minutes for some really excellent brisket, ribs, smoked ham, and pulled pork. I would return for brisket, ribs and ham for sure.

Well worth planning a stop at Kansas City on our drive from Portland OR to New Orleans. This was our second visit to Oklahoma Joe's, and the pork sandwiches seemed even better than we remembered. Try the dirty rice (spicy), which the two of us liked better than the fries (which are very good). We arrived at 11 am, and...

Eating at Oklahoma Joe's is a BBQ experience. The food is excellent! The Mission Road Oklahoma Joe's has and interesting setting in a gas station, but the food is still wonderful! If I'm going to eat BBQ I'd like it to be Oklahoma Joe's!

Even though Anthony Bordaine proclaimed this restaurant one of the top places to eat at before you die wouldn't make it an automatic "great restaurant" in my book. But after eating their ribs, pulled pork, and brisket, baked beans and fries, all I can sayis OH MY GOD! You have to eat here!!!! If I'm in Kansas, which I am...

I'm a KC BBQ enthusist and this place is -- hands down -- the best in Kansas City (if not the nation). The Z-Man sandwhich is fabulous. BBQ purists will enjoy the burnt ends and/or the ribs. Wait in line. It is worth it.

Oklahoma Joe's was recommended by a friend of a friend who went to college in Kansas City, and many thanks to him! Don't let the less than spectacular facade and gas station location detract you - this is real deal BBQ. There is a reason the line goes out the door for hours and people are willing to wait for...

We stopped in after flying from New York en route to Oklahoma. The wait in line was about 45 minutes but we were treated to the wonderful smells and sights of plates overflowing with delicious food while we were waiting. The prices are great. $6-12 per plate. I was only able to finish about half of my food and ended...
