The original Smokestack. Loved going out to eat at the Martin City location.
Next would be Arthur Bryant's.
And then there was a place called Keegan's that was in Martin City too. They had awesome burnt ends and tasty brownies.
Katara 5 years, 8 months ago
I should have put a "but" to join those 2 statements. The Martin City location was closer to my house.

So far my son-in-law's. Haven't tried autie's . . . yet.

Oklahoma Joe's for Ribs, Pulled Pork, Fries
Jack Stack for Brisket, Beans, Cole Slaw
Arthur Bryant's for Sausage
In Lawrence, I like Beimer's the best, but their portions are lacking.

Guy and Mae's in Williamsburg is still high quality. Arthur Bryant's is good.
Jeff Rice 5 years, 8 months ago
Williamsburg is good stuff!

Any 1 of the three smokers in my backyard. I can smoke meat better than any "Q" joint around. Moist, tender, perfect smoke ring every time. Ask anybody who has ever had it, they prefer mine over everybodies, no joke.
Jeff Rice 5 years, 8 months ago
Geez. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. We're all very proud of you.
LadyJ 5 years, 8 months ago
Cool, now when they disappearded a comment, they leave the posters name there so you know who it was. You can even still leave a reply. Hey, better yet, you can still like the comment after it has been removed. I did like the comment BTW.
PhilChiles 5 years, 8 months ago
Here's a fun thing to do. Go to Yelp, and look up the Gates BBQ reviews, starting with the worst. People are just SHOCKED that anyone could be rude to them at a restaurant. Personally, my vote is for Pappy's Place in Springfield, or Biggs if I'm in Lawrence.
Jeff Rice 5 years, 8 months ago
HI MAY I HELP YOU!!! (that's my impression of a Gates employee screaming at you) :)
Katara 5 years, 8 months ago
No, It's more like
HI! MAY I HELP YOU???
and it is hilarious to take new folks there.

Gran-Daddy's Barbeque! I guess it is closed now? Maybe moving again. Love the sauce - a lot of pep.
Jayhawk_4_Life 5 years, 8 months ago
yeah they add a lot of "herb" to their sauce
shotgun 5 years, 8 months ago
No! Grandaddy's is alive and well on 23rd St by Copy Co.
pace 5 years, 8 months ago
I think it is poor manners to try to tell people a business is closed when it is open for business Granddaddy's has great food and good service. I anticipate you claiming that you really felt or imagined they were closed but no. they are open.
Gart 5 years, 8 months ago
Oh, pace. That comment was posed as a question if you did not read it correctly. If you re-read, there is no statement saying that the business is closed. Chill.

Have done some of my own calculations after smoking with a BBQ'r. Wait, I don't smoke. Must have been something about me saying I am....... FLIP!....
Back to the point. I think it may break a collar bone and kill - demolish- at under 300 yards. Is my math off?
John Spencer 5 years, 8 months ago
Guy and Mae's in Williamsburg still has the best ribs around.
Gart 5 years, 8 months ago
Alex? Where is my second post? I did not smoke anything tonight - honestly.
Alex?. . . . . Alex?? . . . . .

I don''t eat BBQ very often. I haven't had ribs in at least 20 years. I'm more of a burnt end guy. Arthur Bryant's has a good, but interesting sauce. I've only been to their original location in KC.

“My favorite is Four Legs Up in Great Bend.".....
Ok.....No comment.

My own. Guy n Maes. Grandaddys. OK Joes. In that order.
JackMcKee 5 years, 8 months ago
On the Lawrence BBQ front, it's going to be interesting watching the latest failed venture at the SE corner of 10th and Mass. Some people never learn or the trying the same thing repeatedly but expecting different results. Take your pick. I wonder if the BBQ will taste like fish too. I guess slum lords don't make good restaurant owners.
trinity 5 years, 8 months ago
'Burg, long time favorite; but you'd also LOVE Leroy's in Pomona...the guy cooked at 'Burg for many years til opening his own place. BBQ is really good, they have a lot more side dishes too. We B Smokin' at the Miami County Airport kicks some major BBQ butt, too! Lot of great places around for Q. BB's Lawnside in KCMO for atmosphere. :)
FranklinBluth 5 years, 8 months ago
The joint operating out of the back of the Pool Room is outstanding. Hope they find a more visible spot.
And Grandaddy's "afro-sausages" are crazy good.
Matthew Herbert 5 years, 8 months ago
Much like the question of "what's your favorite Mexican restaurant", my answer would be "anything not in Lawrence". This town is awesome for a lot of reasons; food is not one of them
Flap Doodle 5 years, 8 months ago
Within a radius of 100 miles from Lawrence, Jack Stack gets the nod from me. The best in the country is City Market in Luling, Texas.
MIke Mallory 5 years, 8 months ago
Guy & Mae's ribs are fall off he bone great. And the sauce is awesome!!
Terry Sexton 5 years, 8 months ago
Man, I'm drooling here, more than normal anyway. Not gonna make it through the day without some barbecue.
Dare I say it? I had a good meal at that famous guy's place the last time I was there.
LadyJ 5 years, 8 months ago
I thought swillin alcohol in some form and telling wild stories was a requirement for cooking good barbecue.

barbecue slowly from an offset heat source, then smoke thoroughly at the polls.
Eddie_Haskell 5 years, 8 months ago
Grandaddy"s. They sell barbeque and joints. And to think Chad used to be my source. Wow!

Keep waiting for the Sound Off from today's paper to appear online, it would produce some fun comments.

I spent the summer in the Douglas County Hotel and ended up getting farmed out to Jefferson County for 3 weeks. They served "hamburgers" and "meatloaf" sometimes. I'm not a picky eater but I damn near yakked. I guarantee it wasn't beef, pork, chicken, turkey, or fish. Considering where I was I'm seriously thinking horse or coyote. Then again, the people working there looked straight out of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" so........
number3of5 5 years, 8 months ago
We who live in Jefferson County object to your remark. We do no look like we are straight out of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". We are good friendly people who do not think money is everything. We love helping our neighbors and even strangers,"friends we have not yet met", if the need arises. Our hamburgers and meatloaf are not made from horse or coyote. There might be a little venison in some, but that only makes them healthier with less fat. They are not the greasy, sloppy, calorie laden ones you can get in Lawrence. As for barbecue, non can surpass my ex son-in-law's, May made the best barbecue ever.....

Pitt_Mackeson 5 years, 8 months ago
Grandaddy's is probably the best in Lawrence in terms of ribs. The ribs are so good you don't really need the sauce but I always pour it on! Great baked beans too. Haven't been to Oklahoma Joe's yet but I intend to journey there :)
JackMcKee 5 years, 8 months ago
Anyone know if/when that Vermont Street place is reopening? How long does it take to move a couple of chairs and tables around. That sign has been up for months. Who is the dipstick who is in charge of that remodel.
Jeff Goodrick 5 years, 8 months ago
Hickory Hut in salina, Guys and Mae's and The Pizza parlor in Topeka, Ok Joe's in KC. Never liked Gates or Bryants or Dickey's too greasy. Famous Dave's is good, but tastes the same where ever you at nation wide
riverdrifter 5 years, 8 months ago
Hickory Hut in Salina! That's one I could not think of. It's very damn good, but not a destination joint like Williamsburg. There's another one in Parsons that's also very good (or was).
Katara 5 years, 8 months ago
Does anyone know of a place that serves ham brownies? They are the ham version of burnt ends and I haven't seen them on a BBQ menu for so long.
