KC is supposed to have a lot of good BBQ, but I've never really understood the premise, because frankly some of the better known operations are drivel. Author Bryant's will serve you cold meat, Jack Stack is flavorless and dry, and Gates literally can't open outside of KC proper because the outlying cities like Gladstone and Lenexa always shut them down for health violations. Ollie Gates is big into fundraising for KC politicians and has connections because of it.
Oklahoma Joe's is basically the only BBQ join I ever proselytized, and if you ever check it out you will understand why. It's a massive building, but the line is out the door from the time they open at 11, until they close down. Always.
I would kill to find comparable BBQ around here.

Have you tried this one yet? Lots of seating capacity and still usually busy. We like it. You could call it Arizona Joe's if you like.
