We love Bryant's Barbeque and feel is is only fitting we select Arthur Bryant's as the Restaurant Of The Month not only because of their great barbecue, excellent customer service and historical significance, but because of the recent challengers they have had to overcome due to the flooding at Brooklyn Avenue.  We are extremely happy you guys are back and glad to be able to assist in promoting your recent opening!

Arthur Bryant’s, a legendary Kansas City institution at 18th & Brooklyn, is world-renowned for its oak-and-hickory smoked meats, unique tangy sauce, and no-frills cafeteria style. Founded in the early 1900s via Henry Perry, it gained fame under Arthur Bryant, hosting presidents and celebrities, and is credited with popularizing "burnt ends".

• Notable Visitors:  Harry Truman, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama, Steven Spielberg, and countless athletes.
• Key Menu Items: Famous for ribs, brisket, burnt ends and fantastic brisket sandwiches.
