Where to Eat

We all know that Kansas City is known for its delicious and smoky bbq joints and there are several options in the surrounding area. Q39 Is one of my favorite places to dine at. Their food is to die for and the atmosphere is kid-friendly. Get the burnt end sandwich along with spiced onion straws, you wont be disappointed.
Another yummy bbq joint is Joe's Kansas City . Joe's has three locations: Leawood, Olathe, and Kansas City, Kansas. If you're looking for the most authentic and quirky bbq in town, head to the original location in Kansas City which is located inside of a gas station. I promise you, the food is the best you'll ever have. The Z man is one of the perfect sandwiches topped with onion rings. Are you ready to give it a try?
Fritz's Railroad Restaurant is fun for the whole family. There are three locations: Shawnee, Kansas City, and Crown Center. Your kids will feel like a conductor of a train when they dine in this railroad-themed restaurant. You'll even see a train on a train track if you look up. It'll keep the kids distracted while they wait on their food.
