So how did a Kansas City barbecue place end up with a name like Oklahoma Joe's? Turns out that the owners started in the business by entering meat they'd prepared in their Oklahoma Joe's Smoker in local barbecue competitions. They were so successful in competition that the smoker company agreed to open a company restaurant with the team. Why the success? A trip to the KC restaurant answers that question: flavorful, well-smoked meat paired with a tangy, peppery sauce, great fries and thick, smoky baked beans. And since opening, the restaurant has built its own success, drawing in many barbecue lovers as regulars. First-timers should be ready for a little adventure. Joe's location is unique -- the restaurant is situated inside a gas station and adjacent to a company-owned liquor store. With food as good as Joe's, though, dinner itself is no risk at all. -- Anna Foote

    How on god's green earth did Gates and Bryant's get better reviews than this place? I never ever post on here, but I had to create a login just to specificlly challenge the notion that any other BBQ place in this city is better than Okie Joe's. I can understand some people may prefer Jack Stack, it's a great place, but comeon. Bryants? GATES? You oviously have poor standards. First off, the pulled pork here is by far and i mean BY FAR better than any other place. Fries are the best, and the sides are second best only to Jack stack.

    Please don't insult true BBQ lovers and try this place out. Once you have had the pulled pork, sausage and ribs, you will see what I mean.

  • Best BBQ Ive Ever had

    From Tennesse To Texas Back to Missouri, this is the best BBQ ive ever had. Although located in a gas station, I've yet to see anyone actually buy gas. The line is always rapped around the building for the BBQ.

    Great prices, incredible flavor and seasoning. This is the place to go without huge prices or assembly line BBQ like Gates.
