This 50-year-old roadhouse was once located on the wild side of Kansas City’s outer limits, before the town grew south of 85th Street. But the bawdy spirit of those Prohibition-era days lives on in this combination nightclub and barbecue joint, thanks to owner Lindsey Shannon’s passion for the blues; local and national artists perform there five nights a week. It’s a no-frills place (all the food is served in plastic baskets or Styrofoam bowls), and Shannon offers a variety of smoked meats, but we go for the succulent, tender beef ribs, slathered in a sauce flavored with apple juice and brown sugar. - Charles Ferruzza
