Review: Oklahoma Joe’s / Gates Bar-B-Q (Kansas City)

Author: WIBIA | Filed under: Food Reviews, Location: Kansas City, MO, On The Road

When traveling, I like to eat, drink and listen to some tunes. In my opinion, there isn’t a better way to understand a city and their culture outside of their food and music. Kansas City is known for jazz and barbecue. Barbecue in Kansas City is about beef brisket and burnt ends. To be honest, I am not a brisket lover. Well, correct that, I wasn’t before this trip. Out of a four day trip, I only had barbecue twice. In hindsight, I should’ve had it every day as there was some above average meals (Spin Pizza and Urban Table), but nothing like the quality of the barbecue.

My first stop was at Oklahoma Joe’s. A barbecue joint that is situated in a Shamrock gas station. At 2:00, the line was out the door, it took us 35 minutes to order. Funny enough, the line also included Frank Haith, the men’s basketball coach at Missouri. It was fun to watch the Mizzou fans taking their picture with them and the KU fans not even giving him the time of day. That rivalry is legit, that is for sure.

Oklahoma Joe’s, started in 1995 from a championship barbecue team. They have a million awards, were on Man v. Food, No Reservations and Bourdain said Oklahoma Joe’s is one of the thirteen places you must eat before you die.

What I Got: Jumbo Smokey Joe; $7.29. Beef and pork on a bun, with fries and beans included.

The sandwich was huge. The meat was saturated with sauce and mixed together. I usually would prefer the meat to be separated and then stacked and the sauce on the side. They delivered it mixed with a good amount of sauce on it. I was disappointed, but then I took a bite and it was awesome. Great smoky flavor with a thick sauce. Basic and boring, but hey, you are not here for the bun, right? The pickles were excellent and served as a reminder that I really don’t eat enough pickles.

1lb of brisket.

A lot of barbecue joints have great meat, but horrible sides. Oklahoma Joe’s has the best barbecue beans that I have ever had. A three bean mix with drippings and some burnt ends in it. Top shelf. Oklahoma Joe’s is worth the hype and worth the wait. Part of me thinks that it is a little overhyped due to it being in a gas station, but it is really good barbecue and a must have on any trip to KC.

My next barbecue adventure brought me to Gates Bar-B-Q. Gates has been around Kansas City since 1946 and after you eat there, you can see why. There was about a twenty minute line for dinner, you order at the counter and go from there. There were a few things that I found annoying, the drink machine was behind the counter, so you had a server. Also, they didn’t have pulled pork, so brisket or ribs are really your only choice. The interior reminded me of an old fast food place. To be honest, it was kind of a dump.

What I Got: Half slab of ribs, Long End. You also can order the Short End, totally your choice. It was around $13.00. We got fries as well. I will not mention them as they reminded me of the type that you would get at a bowling alley.  The beans were a step above canned, not worth talking about as well.

The ribs were excellent. They are not as red in real life as the picture shows them.  My barbecue palate is not refined enough to tell you what they smoke the ribs with, but they were lean, fall of the bone and I smelled the smoky flavor on my hand the next morning. They sauce was thin with a lot more vinegar than Oklahoma Joe’s. However, they were a good match for the ribs. The original sauce was pretty tame, but the spicy had a strange delivery. The heat came about five seconds after you had a bite. I had a bite, thought that I got the mild and then the heat came in. The star of the show at Gates was the Burnt End Sandwich. My girlfriend ordered it and I ate my fair share for sure.

Would I Buy It Again? Yes and Yes. Oklahoma Joe’s is a Kansas City staple and I can’t imagine there is better brisket. Kansas City is known for their brisket and Oklahoma Joe’s is arguably Kansas City’s best. That should say it all. Gates was excellent as well, but for my money, Oklahoma Joe’s wins this throwdown.

The one things that I realized is that if you have barbecue in Kansas City, it is going to be good. There are so many barbecue places that if you are not serving top shelf grub, you are not going to make it. Also, I realized, barbecue in Indianapolis is pretty awful. Squealer’s is good, but good for Indianapolis. All in all, Kansas City is a great city to visit and it is hard to beat a pint of Boulevard and a half slab of ribs.

  2. Looks good! And yes, it is sad how mediocre a lot of the bbq is here in town…

  4. Nice review. We’re pretty proud of our ‘Que here. You’re right about the number of places serving barbecue, there were 110 at last count and everyone has an opinion about which one serves the best what. I agree with your assessments. Too bad you didn’t try Jack Stack (especially their Freight House District location), after Okie Joe’s, they are probably some of the area’s best… maybe next time. I am looking forward to your reviews of SP!N and Urban Table.

  6. The only place I like here in town is Black Diamond.

  8. Was just in Kansas City a few weeks ago and echo the sentiment on the beans. Incredible. Possibly my favorite side ever in a BBQ restaurant. My main course was ribs and it was outdone by the ribs at a very small place called LC’s, which was a local recommendation. Everything was awesome at both places, though.

  10. @Erin People actually call crock pot pulled pork bbq around here. Yikes.
    @ Man Eats World: Thanks. I should’ve tried Jack Stacks, but I took two big jugs of their bbq sauce home and recently had a cookout where I used them and everyone loved the sauce. Maybe next time. SP!N was a great idea, a good lunch deal and a fun place. Best pizza ever, nah…but I would go there more often if I lived in KC. Urban Table was really hit and miss. I didn’t take any pics there. I think that we had 80% of their apps and it was all ok. I remember a meatball being really bad and the tartines to be pretty tasty.
    @Tuxedo Park: it is on my list.
    @Show: LC’s was on my list too. I think that was on No Reservations. You really can’t go wrong in that city.

  12. fwiw ‘crockpot pulled pork’ is a commercially available, schwag product that i’ve seen in tubs across the country. to be fair to hoosiers. and whatever, i still find it comforting, cheap and tasty. i applaud those foods! even if yes, it is a completely different sort of product than smoked pulled pork.

  14. WIBIA LC’s is a must for your next trip. I’ve been to Jack Stack and the other’s that you mention, LC’s is the best. The fries are ridiculous and brisket amazing.

  16. As a KC person that gets around the food circut, it seems to me that the different KC Bar-B-Que places have their own particular specialities and Oklahoma Joe’s seems to actually be their pulled pork. My husband loves pulled pork and he sure agrees with that, personally I like their sausage with thier Night of the Living sauce which is their hot sauce. Best KC beans hands down Jack Stack. Best burnt ends, LC’s (though I have found them to either be chewy morsels of delight or crunch rocks of disappointment). Of course the opinions contained here are my own humble opinions and most probably not universal opinions of our great (Bar-B-Que) city! Oh, also, lived awhile in Evansville, love, love, love Indiana!!

  18. I am born/raised in KC, but am now a Hoosier. If I may suggest on your next visit, go to Oklahoma Joe’s when they have Burnt Ends. You must try their Burnt Ends, they are the best. Call ahead to see when they serve them. This summer it was Sunday night dinner and Wednesday lunch.

    Jack Stack has great beans and cheesy corn, must try.
