Only other place I really, REALLY enjoy eating is when Dinning at the Y. This area has the best places to eat out.

Strouds (there are two of them) are famous for their fried chicken. When Obama was here he sent someone into Oklahoma Joes for BBQ on his way to the airport. He was at Gates but the local media people made fun of him for going with the chains. Town Topic burger is nationally recognized for their hamburgers of course.

Yeah, I forgot about Strouds. Obama used them to cater his crew once but he didn't eat it. LOL. Oklahoma Joes is now "Joes of Kansas City". I think they changed their name in other cities to "Joes of City Name" too. Yes, Joes is a great BBQ place.

Eating at the Y is possible☺️ And yes I'm for sure about to do my research while I'm out here! Thanks guys!

Since we're talking BBQ, what about Famous Daves? There's also a spot in Overland Park called Burnt Ends that's pretty good.

How far is that from the plaza area?

want a damn good old fashioned burger.................Snack Shack in Overland Park

Chubbys on Broadway in the Plaza area has great breakfast!

BTW, I don't recommend Rib Crib either.

Famous Dave's isn't bad if you are stuck in Branson and that's the only BBQ place in town. In KC, it's not even in the top 20. I don't even know what a Rib Crib is. LOL

Sounds like a good reason not to eat BBQ in Branson. Rib Crib is the applebee's of bbq.
