Yelp releases Top 100 BBQ Spots for 2024 – A Shocker for Kansas City

Introduction

As the temperatures rise and summer cooks up its way, BBQ lovers around the nation have something more to look forward to. The popular platform, Yelp, has just unveiled its list of the “Top 100 BBQ spots for 2024,” and the results might surprise you. Kansas City, considered a haven for BBQ lovers, has found itself left out of the top five spots.

Kansas City BBQ Spots Missing From Top 5

In an unexpected turn of events, none of Kansas City’s esteemed restaurants managed to make it to the top five of Yelp’s latest list. However, it wasn’t all a bust for Kansas City – while they didn’t cap the top five, five of Kansas City’s favorites have made it to the top 100 list, clearly signaling the city’s strong standing in the world of BBQ despite not being in the leading spots.

Joe’s Kansas City at No.6

Leading the Kansas City pack in 6th place is Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que. The restaurant’s near clean sweep of every major BBQ competition in the country has undoubtedly helped maintain its strong presence in the BBQ universe. Since its opening at a gas station back in 1996, Joe’s Kansas City has served as a trendsetter in the industry, known for its unique spices, rubs, and marinades. Its vast collection of over 3,500 5-star reviews are a clear reflection of their unwavering demand and popularity.

Other Kansas City Favorites that made the list

Other Kansas City favorites that made the cut include Q39 Midtown at No. 15 and Scott’s Kitchen and Catering at Hangar 29 securing the 35th spot. Rounding out the Kansas City selections at No. 95 is Slap’s BBQ, while Char Bar- Westport barely made it to the list at No. 98.

Criteria for Restaurant Selection

The restaurants on Yelp’s list were not just evaluated for their mouthwatering meat offerings. The criteria for selection also emphasised on regional flavors, perfect meat preparation time, and the quality of offerings beyond just the meat. This comprehensive approach to rating ensures a varied and rich culinary experience for BBQ enthusiasts.

Looking Ahead

For those with an unwavering passion for BBQ, Yelp’s comprehensive list of top 100 spots serves as a treasure map of sorts. Whether it’s the deep-rooted tradition and expertise of Joe’s Kansas City or the nuanced flavors of Slap’s BBQ, there is plenty to explore and relish. And remember, while none of the Kansas City’s restaurants made it to the top five this time, the five that made it onto the list are indeed worth the detour.
