Tips
- Worth the trip
- Go during daylight, and go starving! Best barbeque ever!
- Try the burnt ends
- Best BBQ in America! Seriously!
- Funny to see all these out of town folks dislike this place. They wouldn't know what good BBQ is if it slapped them in the face.
- Ribs are the best!
- Combo platter with Burnt Ends and something else is the way to go, washed down with a big cup of lemonade.
- Burnt ends. No doubt.
- Best Beef sandwich in the world
- This is the place that started the reason why KC i s th best.
- The burnt end sandwich, with fries, is the way to go.
- Arthur Bryant's Barbeque is the best. My dad and I have been going there for years. Good times!!
- Burnt ends & pulled pork are out of this world delicious. BBQ sauce is to die for. Save yourself the extra trip & get a pitcher of Boulevard.
- The pulled pork sandwich is not the reason to come to AB's; the Rich and Spicy sauce alone made this trip worthwhile, but I suggest trying it on the Burnt Ends or the ribs instead.
- Here's a tip: Choose somewhere else.
- Their Burnt Ends and sausage are excellent! Not the best in KC but a great meal is for sure!
- Splitting a combo with fries And a side of slaw and a lemonade to wash it down was Delish, and more than two of us could eat.
- Get the burnt ends. Very good. Ribs had great flavor but were dry.
- No x-country roadtrip is complete without a stop at the BBQ Mecca! Rib tips and short slab is to die for!
- Burnt ends were fantastic. Drenching them in BBQ sauce made them even better.
