on Citysearch Nov 18, 2008What more can you ask for? You can fill up your tank of gas and then walk about 10 feet and have the amazing pulled pork with fries. I like mine on Texas toast. The beans are the only bad thing about this place.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 08, 2008It was Okay..The ribs was like baked ham,I like pork ribs just not cooked like that. The menu didn't have a lot of choice and the beans had no flavor. (more)

on Citysearch Oct 15, 2008This is a super fun place that has local flavor. It's located in a gas station that overlooks a liquor store. The sauce is tangy and a bit sweet. I love the Z-man sandwich. (more)

on Citysearch Sep 08, 2007The pulled pork sandwiches are fantastic. The pork is tender and the buns are very soft. Don't forget to add some bbq sauce... it's some of the best I've tasted. As far as sides, the fries, onion rings, and cole slaw are... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 13, 2007KC has great BBQ - this place was "okay" according to KC standards. Pork was dry... bread was dry... I've had better beans. Ambiance was okay. (more)

on Citysearch Jul 17, 2007Good meat, great sauce, and too many fries. I have yet to order anything off of the menu and been disappointed (and I've been then more than a couple of times). In my opinion the sauce is what seperates the good from the... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2007Oklahoma Joe's is a great place to experience the world famous KC BBQ. Located in a gas station on Kansas City's westside I was shocked how great the food was upon my first visit. Since then I have become a frequent... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 07, 2006My job had Oklahoma Joe's cater for our picnic and their food was "just plain nasty". The sauce wasn't even that good. In order to eat the bland meat (beef and pork) i had to drown it in Barbecue sauce and i saw that... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 14, 2006I'll admit that BBQ is a personal thing, but OK Joe's is not mine. The ribs are okay, but the beans are just nasty. (more)

on Citysearch May 10, 2006I must say that Oklahoma Joe's has the best fries and barbeque that I have tasted in KC(15-years). Great Value!!! With the food being such a great value during lunch and dinner times they are very crowded with next to... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 04, 2005My folks have a Locker Plant in Iowa and I have developed a discriminating taste for good food since I have eaten the best since growing up. Oklahoma Joes makes my favorite sandwich in K.C. it is called the 'Z-man'.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 20, 2005We have gone out of our way to eat at Oklahoma Joe's. The BBQ is awesome. I love the pulled pork and the fries! The ribs are really good too, but I have to say the pulled pork is my favorite. Their sausage is really good also.... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 04, 2005When I was living in Kansas City a coworker turned me on to this place, and it was my favorite BBQ joint in town. Short on atmosphere (what do you expect in the back of a gas station?) but GREAT pulled pork sandwiches (Hank... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2005I relocated from the South and miss good southern BBQ (sweet & sticky!). OK Joe's is not quite southern but really good. Must have the babybacks and fries. Can't go wrong. And where else can you get red cream soda from... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 14, 2004And OK Joe's is excellent barbecue. I'm a foodie a KC native and have been to every famous and notorius BBQ joint in town. The beef Brisket is great, the pulled pork is too. In my opinion, you CANNOT be considered for the... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 01, 2004One of best bbq joints around....love the sauce...if haven't tried this place you are missing something...would love to have more sitting....remember it's bbq joint.....where bbq should be not a upscale retail... (more)

on Citysearch May 25, 2004Best BBQ in KC. Their sauce (Cowtowns) makes the difference. They share a building with a Total gas station, which isn't quite big enough, & it is self service, but the food makes up for it!... (more)

on Citysearch May 20, 2004I have tried BBQ all over the US. Even though poor ole Joe does not have proper BBQ pedigree yet is so proud of his heritage that he opened a joint in KANSAS and called it Oklahoma Joes (which does take Kahunas itself), his... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 25, 2004This place is the best- yes I like the rest on the list and have tried them all (too much). OK Joe's has the best smoked meat - especially the pulled pork and the chicken - I like Bryants sauce more but sauce is a personal... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 15, 2003I think this place is over rated. The sauce is way too sweet for me. I think when you have two bottles of sauce on the table one not being your brand says it all! I think the pork was good the beef okay at best. I just think this... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 10, 2003I love the food at Oklahoma Joes and agree that the fries are to die for! I wish they'd offer their burnt ends platter more often, but can never get enough of the rest of their food! One tip - call ahead for takeout - the... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 23, 2003I don't understand why some people would rate this place better than a 5. Beef and ribs are dry and the sauce is way too sweet. In my opinion this is not a true Kansas City BBQ but an import pretending to be KC BBQ. Still, it... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 20, 2002THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST BBQ IN KC. THE PULLED PORK AND FRENCH FRIES ARE TO DIE FOR! THE GAS STATION ATMOSPHERE MAKES THE PLACE A BLAST. DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP A 6-PACK AT THE LIQUOR STORE NEXT DOOR.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 28, 2002Oklahoma Joes is the best BBQ in KC. The fries are to die for, the sandwiches are fantastic. The atomosphere is not classy at all, but the food is great. Check this place out for sure.... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 24, 2002Is there anyplace else on earth where you can watch corporate casual's flock into a gas station for great BBQ. The fries may be the best in town and the pulled pork sandy is right up there as well. You'll enjoy the entire... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 08, 2002The atmosphere of a gas station with a BBQ joint in the back adds to the incredible BBQ taste. Try everything on the menu - you can't go wrong! (more)
