Been traveling to KC for almost 20 years for business.My two favorites are Joes of Kansas City (the original one in the gas station) and Jacks Stack.
The best BBQ in the US.
Enjoy it.

Fiorella�s Jacks Stack, and Joes Kansas City (formerly Oklahoma Joe�s) are both incredible, but neither come close to Arthur Bryant�s. Arthur Bryant�s is the most famous, most respected, and the gold standard of bbq in KC. Not to sound like a dick but you can�t really say you�ve had bbq until you�ve gone to Arthur Bryant�s. Enjoy!

I visit quite often and for me without a doubt Q39 is the best BBQ there. Joe's is a close second. Jack Stacks isn't on the same level as these 2.
The burnt ends sandwich is incredible and so are the wings.
