Arthur Bryant's Barbeque

Arthur Bryant's is the real deal—a legendary KC barbecue institution at 18th & Brooklyn where presidents from Truman to Obama have eaten. Founded by the Bryant brothers who learned from Henry Perry, the father of barbecue, the place built its reputation on a unique sauce and style that still draws crowds today. Their burnt ends, ribs, and massive sandwiches hit hard, and the staff keeps things warm and welcoming.
