Is that Q short for barbeque or "Queen of Barbeque"? Either way, Q 39 really is barbeque royalty! I wouldn't mind calling this Pit Master "Your Highness" because the staff made me feel like a member of their family. Just the right amount of attention was paid to our group of nine and our food was served hot and fresh.
The atmosphere is warm, contemporary and bustling with energy. The dark wood tables are flanked by the bar on the west and the visible kitchen on the East and nothing but happy diners everywhere you can see. If you would have asked me last week, I would have said there was no way to improve on KC barbeque, but the genius of Q 39 is that it is true KC Barbeque, but so many elements of the food and experience puts this "Q" joint in a class of it's own.
Food is served on bamboo cutting boards, side dishes in adorable ceramic bowls. Nothing fake here-- real napkins, real silverware, real cocktails and let's not forget Real Good Company at this GAS CLUB meeting!
All the main dishes (chicken, veggie burger, Q burger, burnt end burger) I tasted were outstanding and cooked to perfection. But what I dream about at night are those chicken wings! Chipotle sauce carmelized over crispy skin covering juicy, delicious insides are probably the best dish I have eaten this year! Except for the fries (just average) and white bean cassoulet (bland) this was a(n almost) perfect experience.
Mrs. Ref rates this classy bbq joint 4.5.
