KC Barbecue Tours

Awesome way to check out some of the best barbecue places in KC. We truly enjoyed this spunky husband and wife duo. They are friendly, passionate and knowledgable about KC history, BBQ lore and local eats.
Do not eat breakfast before the tour. You will be tasting at plenty of stops along the way. You can always hit up Karl, the owner and operator for a detailed list of the places you will be going on the 4-​hour tour, in order to best plan your trip. We hit up OK Joe’s and Jack Stack’s ourselves in the days before and following the tour.
Food, transportation and restaurant gratuities are included in your ticket costs. There is plenty of ‘que to go around and water is served at every stop. We also hit up Original Juan’s, a bottling and distribution company for BBQ sauces, hot sauces and salsas. We ordered a slew of stuff for friends and family and had it shipped back home at a discounted price. It is entirely worth the price of admission to take the tour, so do not hesitate to jump aboard.
Bring a big appetite, have fun and get ready to make some new friends — who will tell you if you have BBQ sauce all over your face. Guaranteed, they will have some sauce on their mug too!

My husband and I did the riblet tour and Bethany was our tour guide. We went to Arthur Bryants and LC bbq cafes as part of the tour and they also drive you around key locations in the city to explain its history which was great for us as we had only arrived in the city the previous night. The Original Tour goes to 4 restaurants but I found there was plenty of food on the riblet tour and couldn’t have eaten any more. A great way to eat some of the best BBQ in the mid west and get seats at very popular restaurants.
