Burnt End BBQ Hash... ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING MEEEEE??? (RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack)
Stroud's
WOW is this place good! Be prapared for a long wait but it is worth it. Stoud's is a Kansas City tradition dating back to 1933. It's staple dish is simple, Pan Fried Chicken. The building is a beautiful old homestead. They have two locations but the one listed below is the original. The old fashioned Pan Fried Chicken dinners come with a salad or homemade chicen noodle soup, and your choice of Potato, Green Beans and homemade Cinammon Rolls. Yummmmm.

BB's Lawnside Barbecue
What goes better with good Kansas City Barbecue than a side of Blues? We say, nothing. It's the perfect marraige. BB's Lawnside features ribs and other barbecue favorites from it's 60-year old smoker. They have some of the best live blues around nightly. You can count on the NASCAR.com crew being there with MD and Eagle on Saturday night!

Hillsdale Bank BBQ
This place is about 40-mins outside Kansas Speedway, and only open three days a week... but Barbecue lovers, that is a hop-skip-and-a-jump for a place THIS good! Hillsdale is a unique, wood-fired barbecue, in an old bank building. It's one of a kind and so is the food. Try a sampler platter. I'm in love with their burnt ends! It's a must and one of my favorite places on the road! Their sauce is considered to be one of the best in Kansas.
ONLY OPEN FRI-SAT-SUNDAY

RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack
Everyone in racing should wake up with one mission: To go to Mission, Kansas for Breakfast at RJ's. The Burnt End BBQ Hash breakfast is awesome. "Finer than a Squirrel in a Three Piece Suit Breakfast" is what they claim. I say, sure, whatever! They have great bbq for lunch and dinner as well.

Oklahoma Joe's
With roots from the famed "Slaugherhouse Five" (known as one of the all-time great barbecue competition teams) this restaurant comes with some high expectations. It meets and in some ways exceeds them all. They are known for all types of barbecue, especially ribs. But try their Hog Heaven sandwich which includes pulled pork and sliced sausage.

Florella's Jack Stack Barbecue
It's white linen and cloth napkin atmospher but they do serve good barbecue and atmosphere for a nice sit down meal. It may not have the character of our other choices but it is a true hot spot for bbq in the NASCAR community.
