Barbecue is a well-known dish in Kansas City, so such restaurants as Joe’s Kansas City and Gates are the best options. There will also be food comforters, steakhouses, and local restaurants all over in downtown and the plaza. The city has got the casual smokehouse to fine eateries with fine Midwestern cuisine.

Kansas City is famous for its incredible barbecue, and must-try spots include Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que, Q39, and Arthur Bryant’s. For something upscale, try Gram & Dun or The Capital Grille. If you want great casual eats, head to Westport or the Power & Light District for diverse restaurants and local favorites.
