Having grown up on the classic grease joint BBQ establishments in KC, I've always had a sort of aversion to high brow barbecue. The Pit Master sandwich and fries at Q39 have cured me of this existential crisis. This is simply excellent BBQ. You can taste the attention to detail. Great service, classy ambiance, and flawless food. Sauce in a stainless steel cup instead of a squeeze bottle might still give me a momentary pause, but brisket this tender will help me through... :) I will always have a place in my heart for the classics, but Q39 is cooking some of the finest BBQ in KC these days. read more

First time here and outstanding. The meat is juicy, the apple slaw and the potato salad are amazing. Just the right amt of food. Service and ambiance is outstanding read more

Q39 South - Brisket, burnt ends, apple slaw, potato salad and bbq sauce. This plate is called the "competition plate" - Barbeque Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

First time in Kansas City, this place was recommended by multiple people. I found it to be very good brisket. Some of the most tender brisket I've had. The service was great, our server Jessica was so friendly and attentive. I would recommend this place and come here again. The ambiance is your typical American bar vibe. Plenty of seating for larger parties. read more

Great chicken wings Lots of hype at this place. We will continue to support but the vibe is not my fave. It's not casual, not a sports watching beer drinking hang. They try to impress and do a good job. Servers a very helpful with great attitudes doing hard work in crazy environment. I did hear the same pitch of best wings in the universe at least five times around at other tables. read more

My husband and I love to go here and sit at the bar. We can often find a seat there when there is a long wait for a table. My favorite menu item is their spicy onion strings. Peppery, crisp and served with a chipotle ketchup. My husband loves their burnt end burger and gets it every time. Today we went and their service at the bar was not great. One person working and we had to wait and get her attention. Food came out fast once we ordered. We will be back. read more

Super great barbecue - we split a burger, brisket and burnt ends. Everything was well cooked and not dried out. The staff all seem to enjoy their job, they really kept the energy - we were there for the World Cup - so it was super busy. All the sides were tasty as well (fries, apple slaw, and Mexican corn read more

Q39 never disappoints. Great BBQ, big portions, and that sauce is they were very accommodating for 5 adults and three toddlers. The summer sun sangria hit the spot for the hot summer. Ribs were delicious, chicken was good, and the brisket was moist even though I am biased toward my Texas bbq read more

Wow! This is my first Kansas City barbecue experience and it was a great one! So many different reviews out there what's the best. Great things about Q 39. I also ready to come to the South location to get in easier. This works out great for me. I got right in to sit at the bar. Started with a smoky old-fashioned. It was very tasty. Order was a spicy onion straws. They were amazing. For my meal, I got the three meat, combo, ribs, turkey, and brisket. With the slaw and cucumber salad sides. Everything was spectacular. The brisket was tender and the sauce was perfect with it. The turkey was super smoky and moist. Some of the best I've ever had. And the ribs oh my gosh, the ribs, super tender and tasty. Again, some of the best I've ever had sides were good too, but nothing compared to the meat This is a great restaurant to get some barbecue in the Kansas City area. I hope I get to come back! read more

OH MY! This is a long overdue review. When I was in town, the family didn't feel like cooking so we ordered a to go order. We ordered three of the beef brisket and burnt ends dinner plates. We also ordered the burnt end burgers. The buffalo cauliflower florets were a hit! The Mac and Cheese were FANTASTIC! The chicken wings were delicious! Their meats were AMAZING!! Overall, a great dinner choice. Of course, dining in experience would probably been better. Parking lot was busy at the time of visit. Employees were very friendly and helpful. read more

We had an outstanding first experience at Q39, and a huge part of that was our server, Chloe. She took the time to explain the menu, answer our questions, and make excellent recommendations. Since we couldn't decide on the sauces, she brought out all four to sample, served warm, and they were all fantastic.The food was exceptional. We started with the chicken wings, then shared the Chef's Choice platter with brisket, pork belly, chicken, and turkey. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I loved the chicken so much I took home the seasoning and two bottles of BBQ sauce. Great food, great service, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Went with a group of 15. They split us between two tables and they were very accommodating. So yes, I'd say they can handle large groups. Menu choices are broad, as are the drinks choices. Our server Patrick (nice haircut, by the way), was very knowledgeable of what was what. He's very gregarious, attentive, and pleasant. There was one drink that was forgotten but with a child at a nearby table screaming like a Macaw, this is understandable. It was unnerving for everyone within earshot. On the other hand, she was from New Zealand and was looking forward to American lemonade. The food was very good. I'm not overly familiar with KC specific BBQ but it was very good. The Mexican street corn side dish was excellent and the burnt ends are absolutely outstanding. I'd definitely go back again. Leave the macaw at home. read more

Wow what an amazing meal. Maybe my favorite BBQ place I've had. This is one of the rare BBQ joints that feels like an upscale restaurant. The meats are perfectly smoked and cooked. The sauce is subtle and doesn't overpower the meat flavor but is very complimentary. The service was also top notch (thanks Patrick). Highly recommend a stop if you are in Kansas City. read more

Classic bbq but not anything crazy. More of a casual quick stop type of place or for a large group. Chips and dip- the caramelized onion flavor was amazing and the chips were well seasoned. Could have used more burnt ends though it was just sprinkled on top. The brisket French dip was amazing and very comfort food feeling. Staff was super nice! read more

Have been here a few times and food has been good each time. Tried the March special, Rob's Rueben, and it was a very upscale Rueben. I thought it was tasty. Shared some onion straws and they were very good today, not over cooked. Sometimes they are overcooked with not much substance (onions disappear) but were spot on today. I also like the Mexican street corn. My normal go to is the Pit Master Brisket sandwich, which is always delish. My go to BBQ sauce is the BBQ aioli.... So tasty and different than my other 2 favorite joints. Hubby had the burnt end burger, it was very good. On another note, when we were being seated, the restaurant was about 1/3 full and the hostess was trying to seat us in a busy, not very desirable location. We asked to sit somewhere else and were told we couldn't sit at a specific table because a server "wasn't in that section yet." As a former waitress, I found this frustrating because in my experience, servers regularly pick up tables outside their normal section when needed, whether before all staff arrive or after servers are cut. It didn't seem like a difficult accommodation, and the rigidity took away from the overall experience. Took 1 star off b/c of this. read more

The brisket and burnt ends were fantastic and the mac n cheese was delicious. I do wish it was a bit more cheesy but it had great flavor. Our waitress also brought out all the different bbq sauces to try. The chipotle bbq sauce was our tables favorite. Would definitely stop by if you're in the KC area. read more

1st time visiting Q39 and it was great. Drinks were cold, Burnt ends and brisket were delicious. Cucumber and onion salad and baked beans were great too. Our server, Jessica, was delightful! Her recommendations and personality were top tier! Made our visit to KC and Q39 a wonderful experience. read more

A few of us stopped in here on a Friday early afternoon and we were seated right away. The restaurant wasn't busy at all which is why we were surprised when they sat us directly next to another filled table even though there were several open tables around us. Our server stopped by our table and immediately set a card down on the table telling us about the rewards program and asked to leave a review before we had even had a chance to look over the menu. This didn't sit well with the group I was with. Asking for a review before any service has even been provided? Weird. We are all first timers, and our server did give us a breakdown of the menu which we did appreciate. Between the group we tried a good variety of food. The brisket was our favorite thing we ordered. It cut like butter and had excellent flavor. We enjoyed the ribs and burnt ends, but they weren't the best we've ever had. 7/10 for both. We also order the chips and fries, again both were good, but nothing special. My significant other wasn't a fan of the potato salad saying it was bland. I didn't enjoy the baked beans. They tasted like straight pepper. Overall we were not super impressed with the sides. The portion sizes were also smaller than what were used to at many other BBQ places. Usually my SO and I share a meat platter with an add on, which we ordered here, and have leftovers for roughly the same price but here I felt like we both left hungry. The food is good, but I wasn't blown away. We paid our bills and yet again were asked to leave a review which probably just left a bad taste with us since we were asked to leave one before we even ordered food. Seems like all they cared about was getting a good review without providing a quality experience. Overall, the food is good, but I wasn't blown away like I was hoping. read more

Food was great as always! Burnt ends ftw! Christee, our server, couldn't have been better- so warm, genuine and highly attentive constantly read more

The restaurant was very busy upon arrival as the lunch crowd was finishing up. We were seated immediately in the back which was great. Not too loud. Our server was delightful and efficient. We weren't too hungry so we shared one plate. We were blown away by the tender brisket. One of the best, if not best by far of all the brisket we've ever had. Burnt ends and fries were also delish. The beans were a little on the sweet side for us. Overall, fantastic meal! read more

Q39 South - Burnt ends and brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

So no one can pass up visiting one of KCs premier BBQ places. This was my first time at this location and it's very spacious and has historical foundation! Q39 is located where Hayward's Pit Bar B Que first opened, Johnson County's first BBQ restaurant. The history is literally displayed on the walls ... by the bathrooms. We weee s large party and our waitress, Jessica, did a good job at managing the ordering, food delivery and serving all of us. We many had couple of apps: Crispy Cauliflower Bite which were tender, honey and hot sauce; Q39 chip & dip (burnt ends and onion) which was so flavorful! Cauliflower is not my fave but this app wasn't bad and mixing the 2 sauces is definitely a Must! Now I was torn between so many things and settled on the Turkey Melt( best decision) and I just wanted a side of Mac & Q with brisket and spiced onion straws atop. Oh boy I don't get no side portion of the Mac & Q so I took it 2 go. Now that turkey sandwich was packed full of bbq turkey, cheese and Upon venturing around the restaurant and onto the patio where a nice cozy fire was going I met and had a friendly conversation with manager Ariana. Needless to say she's a good human and we're now friends.. lol! Sometimes you just get a great vibe from someone! read more

First and foremost if you're in KC and don't do BBQ you're missing out. We were a party of 24 and the food was "amazing"was the consensus among all of us. We ordered one of each appetizer if not double and enough of us ordered almost every entree on the menu. We passed the meals around because everything looked great and wanted to try. The place was comfortable and friendly. It was packed for a Tuesday early evening but no one felt cramped. This was by our office and we can see us returning again. Briskets, burnt ends, ribs, sausage, chicken and pulled pork were all ordered. The sauce was spot on. We even had some colleagues from Europe and they claimed it was great. Yum! read more

Second time this year, I guess? Everything's still the same. Nothing has changed. Quick Service, delicious foods, Busy place. I've tried their Combo plate meal which comes with 2 sides. I've got Sausage and brisket along with sides (cucumber onion salad and potato salad). Food was delicious especially with their barbecue sauce :)))) Our server Patrick was very helpful with menu and quick service. read more

Q39 South - 2 Pick Combo Plate (Brisket and sausage) - Barbeque Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Definitely. Happening place on a Saturday around 6pm. Wait for party of 2 was 1 hour 45 minutes. Reservations were full until after 8. Fortunately there is bar seating and was able to grab them immediately. They are good in requiring food orders to sit at the bar vs sitting and waiting for a table. Bartender was very nice. Started with the old fashioned and made well. The wings with dry rub were amazing. Taste was unique and so good. I'm not normally a fan of dry rub but it was delish. They even provide a side of bbq sauce. Highly recommend. The brisket and burnt ends were a good plate. The burnt ends were amazing. So tender and delish. The brisket was good. The sides. In order of favs. Baked beans. Very good. Nice bbq flavor. Apple slaw. Very good. Nice flavor. Not sour or acidic. Potato salad. Solid. Fries. Well seasoned and well cooked. Overall a great first visit. Great. BBQ. Be prepared for the crowds! read more

I went on my birthday primarily for my free birthday dessert (sign up for rewards). This is about my third time getting food from Q39, second from this location. I had the smoked chicken, brisket, potato salad and baked beans. My dad had burnt ends, brisket and the same sides. We both enjoyed our food. The dessert sampler was really great too! Overall 9/10! Customer service was great. It was pretty busy when we went and we still got served in a timely manner and our waiter still checked in. Side note: I LOVE their Poutine! Try it out with bbq sauce. read more

My favorite place in KC was always joes but I have to say, Q39 is right up there with it. I would say this is more of an upscale place. Waitress, nice booze, fancier menu etc. I got the brisket and burnt ends...OMG, amazing! The Mac and cheese was phenomenal and so were the fries. Some damn good chicken wings as well. I would 1000% attend again. read more

Q39 South - Barbeque Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

They were very busy but we were seated immediately. It was a busy noisy restaurant. Full of people chatting on a Friday afternoon. There should probably be more sound dampening measures in the restaurant for greater enjoyment. We just got in town and were ravenous. We ordered nachos to share. This was really good. I didn't get pictures but I got a spicy margarita. I didn't feel the heat from the jalapeno. It felt like a regular margarita with a slice of jalapeno in it. I would have liked it better if they would have pounded the jalapeno a little to let the spice come through For our lunch, we ordered pick2. To share between the hubs and I. We ordered brisket, sausage and added grilled pork. We ordered apple slaw and potato salad to share Brisket was tender. Both of us couldn't appreciate the sausage - just that the spices weren't what we were expecting. Grilled pork belly was to die for . We ordered apple slaw and potato salad as sides The apple slaw was a little disappointing for me. My grouse is simply if you want to name something apple slaw. The apple in it should shine through. Tasted like regular slaw - without the taste of apple. Overall, decent. I would come back if we were in the area. Have to mention our very nice server- chloe and I think Ben was his name. Thank you for being attentive. read more

Came to Q39 with a big group for a work dinner and it was such a great spot for a larger party. The vibe was lively but still comfortable enough to actually talk and enjoy the meal. For appetizers, we ordered a bunch for the table -- poutine, wings, fried cauliflower, chips and dips, etc. Everything was honestly really good. The portions are huge, and it was perfect for sharing. The fried cauliflower especially surprised me, and the wings were a hit with the group. For my main, I ordered the brisket and burnt ends with mac and cheese and fries as my sides. The burnt ends were SO good -- definitely the star of the meal. Super flavorful and tender. The brisket was good, but not amazing in my opinion -- still solid, just didn't wow me as much as the burnt ends did. The mac and cheese and fries were both great and, again, huge portions. I couldn't even finish my plate. They also have a dessert trio that looked SO good. I really wish I had tried it, but I was way too full by the end of the meal. Shoutout to Jessica who took care of our table -- she was so kind and attentive, especially with a big group which isn't easy. She answered all our questions, gave great recommendations, and made sure we were always taken care of. Overall, a great spot for group dinners with generous portions and standout burnt ends. I'd definitely come back! read more

Random Saturday afternoon visiting my sister and needed food We called to be sure they offered the kids meals as you cant order them through the online site . The person on the phone was helpful and kind. We ordered a combination plate to try the ribs, brisket and smoked chicken and fries. My sister had salmon with fries . We ordered Mac and cheese as a side got my niece and she loved it. Overall it was good BBQ. Tender. Sauce was okay, we asked for it on the side but it also came on top. They clearly do a lot of orders and it doesn't have a lot of smoky/grill flavor so not the best BBQ I've had but still a good one! read more

Sunday early dinner meal here was good. We both got the brisket meal and you get about 4-5 burnt ends and 3 large pieces of cut brisket, along with two sides. We thought the brisket was very good, but wished the burnt ends had been crispier (& more of them). Sides of fries, beans and cold salad were good, nothing special. Prices seem awfully high for the portions, and it would be nice to get some toast with your meal like many bbq places around town serve. I also wanted to try the ribs, so I paid $5 for one tiny pork rib that was pretty tough, definitely not fall off the bone or worth $5. All in all it is a nice restaurant with good service and good food. I definitely prefer Joes or Smokehouse BBQ, but it's nice to try something different. The menu has lots of great options and I'll prob try a sandwich next time. They have a Z Man knock off sandwich that looked good. read more

I got the chance to eat at this Q39 while on a business trip. I met a few local colleagues for dinner here and it is a pretty popular location. Be prepared to seek parking a small walk away from the restaurant but the parking lot is large and there is parking shared with other businesses in the area. The food selections are good and tasty. I had the salmon and fries and street corn. We also tried the cornbread (it was a new appetizer or new menu item). The cornbread was good but more of a cake consistency than what I'd expect from cornbread. The salmon was tasty and well cooked the fries were tasty and the corn was fine too. I had a non-alcoholic berry basil drink and it was also recommended and refreshing. The service was very friendly and entertaining as he told us the story of Q39 and how they are recognized globally as the founder was featured on a German television show years ago and so on. Some of my colleagues had salads and burnt ends and Mac n cheese and everyone seemed full and satisfied with their meals. I'd honestly recommend this location but make sure you arrive ready to eat. read more
