Q39 South: A Flavorful American Bar Experience

After living in the Kansas City metro and being a BBQ fan, I finally had the chance of eating at Q39. This BBQ chain doesn’t give you the regular KC BBQ vibes but was still delicious. I’m used to standing in line to order my BBQ instead of relying on waitresses. I’ve never had the opportunity to eat here because the restaurant is always busy no matter what day. Luckily I was able to eat here after being off during a weekday. I was gifted a gift card as a Christmas present by family so I decided to try this restaurant. The restaurant had plenty of seating to bring your family. The menu consisted of mostly BBQ sandwiches and burgers. I settled for the Brisket Poutine which I surprisingly enjoyed and wasn’t too pricey. I would definitely eat here again. I hope Q39 will be able to expand their chain throughout the KC metro especially in Johnson County.

Our recent visit to Q39 South was an exceptional experience. The customer service was exemplary, the meats were expertly seasoned and remarkably tender, and the salads were notably fresh, complemented by perfectly chilled beverages. The establishment's decor provides a warm and welcoming ambiance. Our server, Christee, was particularly outstanding, offering insightful recommendations, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail, and maintaining a consistently pleasant demeanor. The entire operation functions with remarkable efficiency, from management to staff. Every team member, with the exception of the culinary staff, actively participates in serving patrons, ensuring their satisfaction, replenishing beverages, and engaging in cordial conversation. Overall, it was a highly positive experience. We anticipate returning and will certainly recommend Q39 South to our family and friends.

We randomly stopped by Q39 South on a Tuesday, and the fact that it was packed on a weekday was a great sign. The venue has a beautiful, modern open-floor plan with a really cool vibe. Even though it’s a dedicated BBQ joint, the menu is impressively balanced—they have everything from standard BBQ plates and sandwiches to some surprisingly good healthy options. The food was spot on. The menu is simple and easy to navigate, which I prefer. We tried the ribs, brisket, and chicken, and every bit of it was delicious, lean, and perfectly cooked. The ribs were a standout, and they have this honey sauce that is 10/10. We also had their onion appetizer, which is basically a really elevated version of a Bloomin' Onion. We did have a small hiccup where we were seated and forgotten for about 10 minutes, but the manager was great—he caught the mistake and brought us a free appetizer, which totally made up for it. After that, the service was quick and very attentive. Parking can be a bit tight and the building is tucked back from the street, but it’s a highly successful spot for a reason. Whether you're a local or a business traveler, it’s a perfect place for a casual afternoon or a solid dinner. I’ll definitely be back many more times.

We had an amazing waitress Lindsey! Very accommodating and Super nice. The Chicken Wing's and Full Rack of Ribs melted in your mouth. Brisket & Pulled Pork was just as good! This is a must if your in Kanas City or Overland Park

The real MVP of our visit was our server, Christee. It’s rare to find someone so attentive without being overbearing. She knew the menu inside and out, gave us the perfect recommendation on the sides, and made sure our drinks never hit the bottom of the glass. Her energy kept the vibe high and made a great meal feel like a great experience.

Our server was great, and very attentive. She also allowed us to sign up for the birthday club, which meant a dessert platter based on how many birthdays we had at once. The kitchen was a bit behind for our lunches, even though we only had six people in our party. Our server made up for it by offering us a complimentary appetizer plate while we waited. She was also great with refreshing our drinks on time without much fuss. When our food did come, it was very well done and presented. It was cooked to perfection and everyone complimented how great it tasted. I think I should have asked for pickles on the side, as I kind of assume that most barbecue places provide pickle slices with their lunches or entrees. Everyone enjoyed their lunch though, so our work team will most likely be back for another meal, since it's very close to our new office just down 110th Street.

Kamryn did awesome for us. This was our first time at this restaurant and she took good care of us. Food was great. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. We will be back.

Went there with some of my family for my birthday. I got this dish It was absolutely delicious. One of the managers, Adam, was terrific with us! And our waitress, sorry I can't remember her name, it was great as well. I usually just get a sandwich but I splurged this time, ended up having to take some home for dinner later in a box.
