This family-owned, family-operated cafe is a Kansas City institution. Diners find this spot irresistible. The tender, juicy barbecue draws national attention and has a local following longer than the Missouri River. The convenient location makes popping in for a bite easy, and the cafeteria-style atmosphere means there is no need to get dressed up. Just order a plate of bones and a cool beer, and get busy. And when the order takers scream at you, do not worry, that is just part of the show.
