Wow. Went to the Westwood location for lunch yesterday. Best beef brisket I've had since leaving Tejas. Fabulous ribs. And Becky really liked the pulled pork. (I liked it too, but being from NC, I have impossible standards.) Nice fries too! This place has found some kind of magic in the combination of the saltiness/smokiness of their meats and the sweetness of their sauce that makes you realize why these two things were meant to go together in the first place. (And its great sauce too — not too heavy, not too sweet.)
OK Joe's has cool ambience too. It's located in a gas station. When we arrived around 1, the line was almost out the door. Moved quick though, and we got a booth. (Guess we weren't the firsts to discover it ;)

Three caveats to statement above (about it being my new fav KC bbq):
1. I will always go back to Jack Stack as an alternative because of its more posh & comfy atmosphere (and great food too).
2. LC's burnt end sandwich might still be the single most mind-blowingly good item I've ever had as far as kc bbq. That place is such a dive though, I'd be more likely to go there for takeout at this point.
3. Goochy Goo's is still my favorite in the St. Joe area.
