Q39 South

One of top barbecue restaurants in the Kansas City region - well known for its award-winning brisket. I went with a colleague earlier this evening - we got there around 8:15 pm, which is quite late as most restaurants in the area close by 9. The restaurant was emptying out even as we carefully pulled up after driving through the icy lot which had mounds of snow piled up everywhere! It was warm and inviting inside, and we were seated right away. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered a sandwich off the appetizer menu; he hadn't eaten much and opted for a dinner platter. It didn't take long for our food to arrive. My Pit Master Brisket Sandwich looked warm and appetizing - juicy brisket, served with provolone and onion straws on a toasted bun, with extra classic BBQ sauce on the side! One bite and I was in heaven, trying my best to carry on our work conversation while savoring every last morsel. He enjoyed his food too but there was too much to finish - I didn't have that problem! Will be back for more!

Super popular and crowded, reservations recommended! Parking is also limited so arrive early or take an Uber instead.Big restaurant, high ceiling, all the diners looked happy :)Of course we had to have the burnt ends which came in as appetizers. We chose to have the judges plate to get a range of meats. The sides were very good as well, my favorite being the baked beans! Buddy of mine from Texas commented that the bark was inadequate compared with the Texan style. I did not care since the Kansas City style was just delicious! The burnt ends were moist and tender on the inside with nice char on the outside.The full rack of ribs we had was also juicy on the inside, cooked to perfection! The brisket was also good but the highlight was surely the burnt ends!Quite a few locations but this is likely the best :)

The food was absolutely stellar. The burnt ends, pork belly and brisket were tender and really tasty, with just the right amount of char on the outside and a melt-in-your-mouth texture on the inside. The sides were the perfect complement. We got their creamy corn, cucumber salad, baked beans. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying the sticky toffee, and it did not disappoint. It was warm, sweet, and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream that perfectly balanced the richness of the dish.Our server, Taylor, was an absolute delight. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, she made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. The service was quick, and our drinks were always topped off.Would definitely come back!!

Q39 is my number one spot for bbq and it is where I take everyone that wants KC BBQ. This space is accommodating and the service and food are what you would expect for my #1 spot. I would say however that the quality might be just a smidge lower than the 39th Street location, but the majority of the consistency and quality is there. The ambiance isn't quite like 39th Street either but the parking situation is better which is very helpful.

The food was amazing. The service? Not so much. We ordered the big 4-6 people meal, the Q Champion Meat Platter with corn and beans. We got a lot of specialty drinks (alcoholic and mocktail) they were all a delight. We ordered desserts. All of our food was amazing and the people that bright out our food was amazing. But our actual server? Not so much . Maybe she was having an off day but every time she left us we were not sure when we were going to see her again. It wasn't very busy when we came in and not super busy by the time we left so I don't know what the deal was. Other than that it was an amazing experience.

I have been to another location but first time here at this location. It's Friday night and this restaurant is packed. We ended up seating at the bar right away instead of waiting 45 minutes for a table. It's dry January so we didn't order any drinks. Bartender was attentive and took our food order. I ordered their pick 2 combo with sliced brisket and pulled pork with side of cheesy corn and baked beans. I've always love the flavor of their BBQ. The cheesy corn and beans were good but probably not my favorite. My entree didn't come with a slice of bread. Guess everyone is watching their carbs. Casual atmosphere here. A bit noisy with all the table packed. They have a few TV screen around for sport viewing. But I say people come here to eat, not to watch a game. Great food. One of the best BBQ in town.

Tried the new QBan sandwich (unique food fusion) and finished with the Sticky Toffee Cake (one of a kind). Both were delicious. Many cocktail options but the Oatmeal Alexander was on fire! The corn fritters were a crowd favorite. The meats were tender and super tasty.

Everything was incredible. We had the wings, brisket, burnt ends and pulled pork. Our server Patrick was super knowledgeable and able to guide us through our first time here. Everything was perfect. 10/10

Wonderful birthday dinner with the fastest, friendliest service from Emily. Loved the food & the bloody mary!

Our party had a great experience today at Q39. The food was good but our server Duane was awesome! He was very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. He took his time with our big party. He was extremely helpful. I've never experience any service like this in my life and 50 years old! He should be training all employees! Thank you again Duane!
