Whether it's ribs, beef sandwich, or a bottle of the sauce, Big Q cannot be beat. I haven't lived in Kansas City in seven years, but everytime I come home to visit my family I MUST eat at Big Q, and my grandmother sends me bottles of sauce regularly. The ribs are literally falling off the bone. The sauce by itself doesn't taste so special, but when you add it to meat it is magic.
One thing - I'd recommend ordering for carryout if you don't like smoke, as it is a very small restaraunt and there's almost always a customer smoking somewhere. Wednesdays ribs are on special.
My parents went there when they were kids, and it's no wonder the place is still in business after all these years, even in the slightly cruddy neighborhood (hey, I grew up a block away, it's just not the best area).
Pros: Best bbq beef sandwic, Best bbq ribs, Best bbq sauce
