Q39 Midtown: Discover Culinary Excellence in American Dining

Wonderful BBQ! We were visiting from NC, so we had to check out Kansas style BBQ. Not disappointed Definitely try to burnt ends and brisket. If you've never had them, the burnt ends are similar in texture and fat content to ribs - so you can order both, but you might get more variety if you choose another combo on your plate. No wrong choices though! I also loved the potato salad and baked beans (which are a little sweet and have burnt end pieces on them). The food arrived very quickly. Also our server Uriel was the best and made sure we got great service and could leave in time to catch our flight :)

Was in Kansas City for a 48 hour trip… wanted to try a bbq restaurant that was amazing and memorable. Let me tell you… Q39 was it. Tristin our server was a complete pleasure to have as our server. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable of all the menu items. Everything was delicious! Go check this place out.

Awesome place to share dinner with friends and co-workers. Shared a great experience with a group, and the head chef & GM did a great job walking us through their culinary experience. Brisket, pulled pork, and meat marshmallows were amazing!

This is a top spot in KC and that’s saying a lot with so many barbecue choices. The burn ends are great. The chicken wings are very good. Surprisingly the Mexican street corn was superb. You can’t really go wrong here. The meats have an amazing smoked flavor and all the sides are good.

This place was recommended so we made a special trip from Topeka to try it. We were NOT disappointed!! From the atmosphere to the fantastic server to super fast service, we will definitely return. It is recommended that you make a reservation, which we did (for 11:45 on a Saturday) and at that time it was not very busy but it didn’t take time to fill up by 12:30.

We had a wonderful meal here. I got reservations a few weeks ago, and I’m glad we did. The restaurant was packed and we didn’t have to wait at all. Since it was our first time here, we wanted try as much as we could. With three people we were able to try most of the sides and most of the different meats (not the chicken though). For our appetizers we shared the onion straws (free if you join their club before arrival), and a small chopped salad. Our waiter was very helpful and offered to bring us both ranch and balsamic so we could taste them. For mains my husband got brisket and burnt ends, with the fries and potato salad. I got ribs, pulled pork, and sausage, with the Mac and cheese and slaw. My daughter got a pulled pork sandwich with the orzo pasta salad. We all shared everything which was fun and so good! The real standouts were of course the brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. The sausage was very good too. As far as sides go, we loved them all but the Orzo pasta salad was unbelievable and the potato salad was very good too. The fries were excellent. The only thing on the table we didn’t love was the slaw, but I don’t love really sweet cole slaw and it was very sweet to my taste. My absolute favorite thing was the salad though. It was cold and crisp, and extremely fresh. The homemade dressings were both delicious and the pickled red onions were amazing. I know when we return I will be getting the large salad as my entree and I’ll add meat to the top. It was that good! BBQ places aren’t usually known for their salads but this one should be. We were too full for dessert, but there’s always next time. Just an fyi: it is very noisy in this restaurant. If you have folks in your party that are sensitive to noise, have them bring their earplugs so they can enjoy their meals to the fullest.

Food came fast. Service was really good. Andrea was great. The brisket, fries, and potato salad were really great. The pulled pork wasn't super tender and a little tough to chew. The wings were good, but were under-saunced for my liking. Only some of the top half of the wing had sauce. Overall it was good, but there are better spots in KC I have hit up in the past.

We went in before our flight out of Kansas city and had some of the best BBQ of our life. We ordered the brisket poutine and it was so big in portion and flavor we were blown away. We finished our meal with Brisket, Burnt Ends and Pulled pork. All extremely tender, juicy and smokey the way great BBQ should be!
