I went to Arthur Bryant's with high expectations, it has a reputation for being the best in KC. The food was good, but by no means is it the best bbq. There are plenty of other places in the KC metro area that have equally good bbq, and several that have better. Arthur Bryant's is good, but it's not worth... more

I give this place a 4 out of 5. It is definately a good place to go and the BBQ is good. But with all the hype surrounding this place, being world famous and all - it just didnt do it for me. The atmosphere and the meat are great. The BBQ tasted kind of like chilli, it just wasnt... more

Really, really good BBQ. Get there early and order the pulled pork and baked beans! more

My wife and I went for dinner before seeing Springsteen in KC 8/24/08. Easy to find 1/2 mile off I-70 on Brooklyn. Nothing unsafe about driving that distance in straight line and parking in their lot.

I had read reviews, seen bits... more

This is the grandaddy of all BBQ joints. The ribs were succulent and the brownies (brisket burnt ends mixed with sauce) were to die for. If you're in the area it's almost a crime not to go. more

I remember reading on the BBQ sauce container that it was the Favorite of Presidents. There were two types of BBQ sauce on the table last week, original and sweet. At home, I enjoy the sweet varieties, but when at Arthur Bryants, I go with the original. I would describe it as being more mustard-vinegar like. I get the basic... more

I was visiting a friend who lives in mid-Missouri & even she hadn't had AB, let me tell you that it did not disappoint. I liked that we went to the original AB's because you can tell while ordering that the bricks are still the same from when it first opened. I was not too happy about the decor and... more
