About this business

Kansas City is famous for its barbecue, and this restaurant is one of the reasons why. Arthur Bryant's has been serving up slabs of slow cooked pork and beef since the 1930's. The small building is nothing fancy and resides in a somewhat disreputable part of town, but diners do not necessarily come for the ambiance. Nevertheless, Mr. Bryant has a couple of other locations around town. Casual dining is an understatement here, where guests line up, sometimes waiting up to 30 minutes just to order at the counter. Be sure to ord... read more

Simply speaking, the best BBQ! – No other BBQ sauce made anywhere that can compete to Bryant's.

#1 BBQ in the WORLD – The perfect sauce meets the perfect meat in the perfect smoker and comes out as the perfect BBQ. The beef brisket sandwich is the best. It's real bbq and not plasticized like KC Masterpiece. AB's does not get the title of Number 1 ranked BBQ in the world by the World BBQ almanac for nothing. There is a reason and its quality. The only thing that is bad at AB's are the beans. Horrible beans, IMHO. All the other poor/negative reviews must be from people who either know nothing about BBQ or are from compet... read more

From a BBQ Expert – Awesome BBQ with the best Sliced BBQ Pork Sandwich in the USA! Memphis, TN canot compare to Arthur Bryants! The sandwiches here are piled high with meat, and the hickory smoked ribs are damn good!

Best BBQ in the universe! – Arthur Bryant's leaves no room for competition. The servings are huge, the meat is tasty and tender, and the fries are great! Ok, so the service is lousy-- just consider that a unique experience! I don't think any BBQ any the city can compare. Go to AB's for the greatest dining experience ever!

Old School – Bryant's is good, definitely better than many, like Gates, but there are a few BBQ's that are even better in and around KC. For my buck, Rosedale on SW Blvd. is very good as is Oklahoma Joe's on Mission Rd. I live up in Kearney and OUtlaws is pretty good too. My least favorite BBQ in KC is the Wyandotte in Overland Park, the worst service.

Best BBQ On Earth! – Arthur Bryant's BBQ is easily the best barbeque in the nation. Why else would Presidents eat there when they're in town??? I am from KC but now a college student and out of down, but frequently drive to KC just to get some outstanding KC Barbeque at Bryant's

Utter Bliss & Perfection – At Bryant's, you are in the presence of the unadorned barbecue god in his Stygian lair. The completely chic surroundings do not appear to have not been updated since the 1950's, and are thus perfect. The very tables are soaked in smoke. The food, huge platters of paprika'd meat on Wonder Bread -- WORSHIP IT! Ye shall place no other meats before it! Here all dine together in bliss -- it don't matter if you're black or white -- taste buds have no color, mine friends. AIEEEE! Feel the barbeuce on your... read more

BBQ FANATIC – THIS IS BBQ AT IT'S BEST !!!! MORE MEAT THAN YOU COULD EVER EAT IN ONE SITTING. THE LINE TO THIS PLACE IS OUT THE DOOR AND INTO THE STREET AT NOON OR THE EVENING DINNER TIME. LINES MOVE QUICKLY AS THE SERVERS SLAP ON THE STACKS OF MEAT IN PILES, MORE THAN YOUR MONEY'S WORTH. THE SAUCE WILL TURN YOU FINGERS ORANGE, AND YOUR TASTE BUDS ON. THE SURROUNDINGS ARE AS CASUAL AS THEY COME - BUT THIS PLACE HAS SERVED PRESIDENTS AND COMMONERS ALIKE. A+ FOR THIS BBQ AND IT'S "REAL" ATMOSPHERE....
