Best BBQ Joints in America - Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a great lunch inside a gas station? If so, look no further than Oklahoma Joe's in Kansas City, Kansas. Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue is situated inside of a Shamrock Gas Station - why not fill up your stomach at the same time you fill your car up?
Oklahoma Joe's was conceived of on the competitive barbecue circuit in the early 1990s. The team that eventually went on to open Oklahoma Joe's was know as "Slaughterhouse Five" has won many Grand Championships, including the American Royal. Their first restaurant, Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue and Catering opened its doors in January 1996 in Stillwater, Oklahoma and their Kansas City location opened a few months later in August 1996. The Oklahoma location is now closed, but the Kansas City restaurant is going stronger than ever, in fact a second location has been opened in Olathe, Kansas.
Oklahoma Joe's has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, The Food Network and PBS to name a few. Zagat rated Oklahmoa Joe's as "Excellent" and the hometown Pitch Weekly gave it 3.5 Stars.
I'm a fan of the beef brisket, but can honestly say I've never had a meal at Oklahoma Joe's that I didn't enjoy and the novelty of the ambiance even makes the food taste better. Next time you are in Kansas City, Kansas stop by and give Oklahoma Joe's a try. You can check them out on the web at http://www.oklahomajoesbbq.com/.
Now go fill up your stomach and your car!!!
