Arthur Bryant's Barbeque
Arthur Bryant's
A century-old barbecue restaurant beside the Jazz District, frequented by presidents, with a distinctive homemade tangy, spicy barbecue sauce.
The restaurant traces its origins to Henry Perry in the early 20th century, who is hailed as the 'father of Kansas City barbecue.' The interior is plain, and customers order at the counter. The signature is a thick-cut brisket sandwich with fries, served with a rough, slightly tangy original sauce. The walls are covered with photos of visiting presidents and celebrities. The average cost is about $20 per person, and it can be combined with a visit to the 18th & Vine Jazz District.
