Here in Kansas, we know a thing or two about authentic barbecue.
Folks travel from near and far to try what’s often considered the most impressive region in the country for homemade barbecue. You’ll see for yourself just how delicious Kansas cooking can be when you stop by Q39 South. Located in Overland Park, this local barbecue restaurant has made quite a name for itself by serving up to-die-for ribs, pulled pork, wings, burnt ends, and just about every fixin’ your heart could desire. Here’s more on why you’ll want to visit this homegrown barbecue restaurant ASAP:
Q39 South is the second and newer location of the original Q39, which is located in Kansas City.
You might be overwhelmed by the sheer number of options you'll find on the menu, but rest assured that no order will disappoint. Start with one of the incredible appetizers to whet your palette.
One of the most popular orders is the Mr. Burns sandwich, complete with cubed burnt ends, chipotle barbecue sauce, pepper back cheese, and onion straws. You can also pair any meal with a flight of local craft beer. What could be better?
The meat is prepared and smoked with competition-winning expertise. The meat for lunch goes into the smokers at 2 a.m. to ensure incredible fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
In addition to all of your favorite barbecue entrées, you'll also find all the classic sides. The macaroni and cheese is so delicious, in fact, that you could easily make a whole meal out of it.
