Stopped in here for the first time.
Staff is friendly, they are very prompt.
I ordered Mr Burns which is burnt in sandwich. I didn't care for the onion rings or whatever they are on top. I don't think you complimented the meat. At a side of baked beans they weren't the worst but they were okay.
My advice, if you like food that is not seasoned, I would recommend this place. Burn-ins were great. Very tender, juicy and perfect amount of fat. But literally just plain. The baked beans also had no sauce in it. And I mean no barbecue sauce. They were still good, but just plain with the beans and burn ends. After I added sauce it seemed fine.
I kept hearing about this place and how many trophies they have and everything else so I wanted to try it, it's not a place I'll be going back.
Very expensive.
The service was astounding! We sat at the bar, and the bartender was very attentive and explained all of the nuances of the menu, particularly his recommendations for the various food items which have won awards over the years. The food itself was incredible…the BBQ Bacon Wrapped Shrimp appetizer was one of the best appetizers I have ever had. The burnt ends were so mouthwatering, just the thought of them now is making my mouth water again. I would highly recommend Q39 for BBQ if you are in Midtown Kansas City!!
Best BBQ I’ve had in KC so far. We went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but I wouldn’t say the wait was bad before or during our meal. Our server Chad did an *amazing* job explaining dishes and providing recommendations. We started with the Smoked Brisket Nachos, which were great. We all decided to order the Mr. Burns sandwich which involves cubed burnt ends and a chipotle BBQ sauce. It’s so tender that it’s actually fairly light to eat and the flavor is outstanding. The sauce may have been my favorite. I’m not usually wowed by a non-spicy sauce but I really loved the flavor. It was consensus rave reviews with my group. We’ll definitely be back.
What can I say? Q39 is a must stop if you’re in Kansas City and looking for awesome BBQ. We heard about this place from a couple we met and decided to try this instead of Joe’s. We were glad we did. The moment we parked, we could smell the food! Side note on parking, get there early or parking is difficult to find. We walked in and sat at the bar! Service was awesome! The bartenders were very helpful I. Making recommendations and letting us know what their daily special was! They had a full bar and great a great selection of local craft beer!
We ordered the “World’s Best Wings” and my goodness those were cooked to perfection with some incredible flavor! Don’t sleep on this appetizer! There were six included in our order.
We ordered the platter (shared it) which had the brisket, burnt ends, pork belly and a rib! So much food! We chose the mac and cheese and the apple slaw! Both were solid! Definitely go with an order of burnt ends! Those were simply incredible! They make their own sauce and provide that as a side as well!
If we lived closer, I’d be living there once a week at least! The food was brilliant! Give Q39 a try! You’ll be extremely satisfied! Thanks for an awesome experience guys!
What a really cool place with great food and lots of BBQ competition trophies to show for it. Service was shockingly fast; the servers have handheld machines to put your order in at the table. The food was really good, very tender. Sides not pictured and excellent: crispy fries and Mexican street corn. Clean and modern look.
OK, let's get all the bad stuff out of the way first: maybe it's a touch noisy because everyone likes to come here. That's all I could come up with!
The service is excellent. Our server, Duane, knew the menu and its different options backwards and forwards, and he was enthusiastic and helpful. He seemed to relish his job--one of the best restaurant service experiences I've had.
We ordered burnt ends, a "slab", a couple sandwiches, and a few sides (beans, roasted veggies, mac & cheese). Everything was superb! Depending on your budget, there are variety of ways to go.
Q39 definitely sets the bar-b-que high!

I don't have anything negative to say. The meat is tender and juicy. I had a kids meal and still didn't finish it so portions are plenty. The meat isn't super flavorful on its own but the sauce is yum. The buns are like a butter bun and grilled so compliments the meat well. The fries are seasoned to perfection. The atmosphere is kind of upscale compared to other BBQ joints. I kind of prefer the dive kind of BBQ places. They even had fancy paper towels in the bathroom and the hand wipes smell so good.
Went here the first night I was visiting a friend in KC. The Pork Belly appetizer with the Mexican street corn was one of the best apps I've ever had in my whole life. The brisket and burnt ends plate I got had an extremely generous amount of meat for the price. This place was my first experience with KC BBQ and it set a high bar.
Absolutely the best smoked barbecue I've had since visiting Kansas City. Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh and hot. The Sweet Tea, Arnold Palmer's and cocktails were all sooooo good!! And the atmosphere was cozy yet modern and the wait staff was nothing short of amazing and attentive. I will definitely return when in town & my friends who live in KC will most definitely be back.
We had the Mr burns sandwich and Brisket+burnt ends with coleslaw.
I am a huge fan of the burnt ends severed here! Fantastic place.
My wife and I had made reservations on a weekend and we were able to get a table in time. The service was good and food is amazing.
This is my go to place whenever I am in KC.
