Food and Drink Just had Q39 - Page 5

Silock · 12:18 AM

Might be the most overrated BBQ joint in the city. Overpriced as hell. 1 appetizer, 4 beers, 4 entrees . . . $130. Sheesh.

Sauce was way too sweet. Joe's KC has a sweet sauce, but this is on a whole different level of sweet. The meat was good, but it's not BETTER than other meat in the city.

I mean, it's not BAD, but I don't understand the hype at all.

EDIT: Forgot to add that their french fries were bland as hell. Most fast food places have better fries. Although, I did like their slightly spicy ketchup. Fries still absolutely pale in comparison to Joe's, though.

Going to be honest I am really confused by you guys.

Q39 is about as "major" on the KC BBQ scene as MLS is a "major" soccer league on the world stage.

I completely disagree. The place is packed all the time. So much so that you are getting posts of people who don't like it just because people have been building it up so much. The traditional blacked own favorites have been asleep at the wheel for a long time...places like Q39 and Slap's as well as others have people streaming in at all hours. Though your conversation doesn't even seem to have to do with BBQ and you don't really get KC so sorry you don't like soccer I guess? #confused

In my opinion, Char Bar is much tastier. Their pulled pork is ridiculous. Q39 was pretty good as well, though.

[Oklahoma] Joe's KC is still probably my favorite, but it may be getting a little less consistent.

They use gas grills there. Not possible.

I like Char they do some cool things that have nothing to do with BBQ. It's not my favorite but def and enjoyable spot.

I guess I sort of like them all.

They're both fine products. Neither as good as their fans think they are.

But there's nothing wrong with being the 7-10th best BBQ joint in the city.

Ok man at least we don't have to pretend that was a cool spot before they got there or that this has anything to do with soccer.

Q39's pulled pork is outstanding. The rest is all average. I also like that white bean cassoulet they serve.

**lewdog** · 07-12-2015, 06:52 PM

I don't even go out for BBQ where I live because of KC.

Hammock Parties · 07-12-2015, 06:53 PM

Speaking of hipster places...went to Local Pig in Westport last night. AMAZING shit.

They actually have some BBQ stuff on the menu so I'm gonna have to go back and try it. Pulled pork burger, half a smoked pig's head and some pork belly dish.

I had the lamb pot pie.

Hammock Parties · 07-12-2015, 07:05 PM

Here's what blows my mind about KC: it supports eleventy billion BBQ joints and a lot of them suck. There's a Dickey's around town for crying out loud, and there's a place down the street from me called The Stack which I'm almost 100% sure sucks complete ass.

In a town with good BBQ places these shitty places should not last but they do.

Have you ate at those places? I will admit I have not heard of any of those might be good. Its been awhile for a gay day.

Yup. And I'm not saying that Q39 is shitty. It's good. I just had much higher expectations based on all the hype it's getting and I was let down.

Others may feel differently, and I'm okay with that.

Dickey's is a chain, of course it sucks.

The reviews on The Stack were not good, and I went in there and could just tell.

I am considering hitting up BB's Lawnside BBQ, though, mostly because the portions are HUGE.
