They’re definitely an hours of operation pick for me whenever I’m back. I don’t believe KCK Joe’s is open on Sunday’s. I’ll have to try their shipping option sometime. [Reply]

I'll never decide between Jack's beans and the cheesy corn. Both, every time.
The cheesy corn is indeed amazing however, I tend to be a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to BBQ, and that just isn’t a traditional side. It’s always beans and potato salad, or occasionally slaw instead of the potatoes, depending on the type of slaw because I’m particular about that.
Now at Slap’s here in KCK they decided not to go traditional with the potato salad option, they have a warm cheesy potato bake and, :-) [Reply]
Another high point of Jack’s Stack is their lamb ribs (assuming they still have them, I haven’t been in some time). I always make it a part of my rib combo plate. [Reply]

Zardas sells brisket by the pound and I actually like their thinly sliced beef and original BBQ sauce quite well. [Reply]

Last time I compared prices, the meat seemed to be comparable, but Joe's extras pushes it over the top for me.
I shipped a pound of brisket and a couple sides from Jack Stack, and partially my mistake for only getting a pound, but it just looked so.... sad.
The Z-Man kits are about the same price, but with the 2 pounds of brisket you get the buns, onion rings, cheese, BBQ sauce, and they throw in fry seasoning with everything... not a ton of value for all those things of course, but nice to add on for how much more you're paying to ship. [Reply]

Nice, I think Jack Stack has that, too? Potato salad is hard to pass up. Joe's started doing mac & cheese as a side, which makes up for their beans a little.
Never been to Slap's... when I think downtown KCK, I think Stab, which probably wouldn't be a great name for a BBQ joint. Stabby's, maybe? [Reply]

Stab likely isn’t a good name for anything in this area, though probably appropriate. Shooter’s would likely be more appropriate.
I just don’t get Joe’s and their beans. I mean, they aren’t bad but, they certainly aren’t bbq beans. How a place that does almost everything so well can go so far off the reservation on one of the staples of the industry befuddles me. [Reply]
