I like Monroe's Smoke house on Highway ave.

I had Shane's Rib Co the other day, quite delicious. 

Personal favorites are Jenkins and Mojos, but I haven't had any of the title restaurants.

The last time I went to Jenkins the lady behind the counter asked to take my order.  To everything I ordered off the menu, she promptly told me they were out of it (this was literally everything, but the rib sandwich).  The task would have been a lot easier if, when I stepped up to order, she would have told me all they had at the moment was the rib sandwich (would have saved an extra 10 â€" 15 minutes).  So of course I had to order the rib sandwich, not realizing it would actually be a slab of ribs between many slices of bread.  I must say this is a very difficult item to eat, and you definitely can not eat it like a sandwich.  Basically the bread is there to attempt to keep you from getting your hands covered in sauce while you eat the ribs, which didn’t work very well. 

Is it really a sandwich if you can't eat it like one?  How about they change that item to, Ribs with a side of bread?

Son, your not from around here are you!   

I used to work in the old JEA building opposite the Ambassador, use to walk over to jenkins for lunch.  Went in around 10:45 one day.  Ordered a rib sandwich, lady walks out from the back, she yelled at the clerk who ordered the rib sandwich.  Heard another yell, its the white guy out front.  It did single me out of the crowd LOL

JeffreyS has good taste! Monroe's on Highway Ave. (where the old Pat and Mike's used to be) is about the best in the city.

Jenkin's though? I used to work downtown not far from there and would go by once in a while. It's not all that. You could see pallet wood being used when they ran out of oak so...nope, think I'll pass on the attitude and go where I'm welcomed

I'll have to check out Monroe's.  Used to go to school with Pat and Mike's grandson and used to go to their house on the Cedar River for pool parties.  Real solid people.

Yeah, BlackJack's closed.  The building has been renovated and is for lease now.  I have to be honest, the old KC BBQ beat the snot out of BlackJack's.

BlackJacks were at their prime several years back.  They lost their quality each time they expanded and moved.  KC was great back in the day.

Though this is not a restaurant, it has some of the best smoked meats I have ever had. They also have some great bottled sauces. Right now, my favorite is a blackberry wine bbq sauce.

The sauce soaked bread is the best part. It is definately difficult to eat so you should only eat at home because you would not want to make a mess a work! LOL
