or things to visit with kids, let me know.

I have been here 8 years and know where some of the good stuff is.

I got to see the Ags in baseball this spring and now they come in football Saturday!


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although, I am not close enough this game to be told to move to the other side of the baseball field because I harassed umpires. And yes, I know it is not umpires in football.

I am arriving in KC on Friday. What's your favorite Steak House or BBQ Restaurant?

In KC or Como?

In Como, I think the best BBQ is in Ashland, which is probably a half hour from here.
Here, it is Como Smoke and Fire. But that is on the other side of I-70 off Paris Rd.

But it converted me to liking brisket
It is really good

As for steak, I am not a big steak person, but the best I have been is G and D steakhouse and CC City's Broilers is really popular.

Angelo's on the far side of town is where I can go with my son, order a steak (medium rare) and we split it. He gets corn and fries and I get a side salad I can put a few slices of my steak on.

I do not pretend to be a beef person, but I like this stuff.

No kids. Mainly looking for a couple of good spots to watch the games on Saturday after our game is over.

Thanks

BBQ:

Don't waste your time or money at #2 on the list Jack Stack. If you're near an Oklahoma Joe's (chain) in your travel zone, it's better than most. Or, go with Jones (probably won't make their operating window), Big T then Gates.

Steak:
I doubt I would do the Top 5 on the list below. Cross off The Golden Ox #10, don't waste time or your money..

My opinion, FWIW.

Not Tanya, but that bar was in Anaheim, California and it was destroyed/demolished in 2015.

If you're driving up and have kids in the vehicle, depending on your direction of travel, these restaurant(s) are about 3 to 4 hours away from Columbia. Fun experience for kids and adults too. Food is good.

Yeah, love Lambert's always have a great time there. Especially with the kids. I don't know if they still throw the rolls. I heard somebody got hurt and now they don't do it anymore. I hope not b/c we are taking about 25 to the game and meeting a bunch there to eat on the way in.
GIG EM AGGIES!!!

Truman's Bar and Grill is a decent spot with a lot of TVs but it is kind of far away on the west side of Columbia (just off West Broadway). Another further away spot is D Rowe's on Forum. It's on the south side of town but the best food options of any place I will list. As for downtown, I really like International Tap House on 9th Street. Pretty chill atmosphere and lots of TVs. Billiard's on Broadway is also a great downtown option. Good atmosphere and in my opinion, the best burger in town. Harpo's is fine, but it has a different ownership now and is just kind of another place. Not bad, but not like it was in its heyday. Sports Zone which is connected to the Holiday Inn by the mall is actually a pretty good spot too. I almost forget about it being over there. All of the options I listed are also restaurants with the exception of International Tap House.

Gonna hit Como Smoke and Fire Friday night. Now to find a place after the game to watch the other games.

Thanks for all the advice.

Tanya......we have a ranch down between West Plains MO and Mountain Home Ark. I have never been to COMO. We are at ranch and plan to drive up that morning. Can you give any parking advice?

Thank you,
Harpo's is near campus. It's gonna be packed and none of the parking garages will be available. You might find street parking, but that is gonna be a hike.

Now, I moved here with a 4 year old. He is now a teen. So Harpo's is where we went as a childless couple following Aggie baseball

The Deuce is really popular and that is on Southside. But it advertises on the radio it has lots of tvs focused on games. If the Astros are playing Saturday, it will be on if you care.

Those two, plus Stadium Grill and Buffalo Wild Wings.


If you aren't a student, I think on Saturday The Deuce might be your best bet. But it is south of campus, down Providence. I can give you specifics for any of those 4 on how to get there if you want/

My advice is to get here as early as possible.

You probably will end up parking along Providence south of the stadium. The campus parking is really not going to be possible.

Now, north of the stadium frat houses rent out their parking lot and front yards for parking. It does fill up early.

For anyone else coming, many of the hotels have shuttles that will take you and pick you up.
the picking up part sucks though. My SIL and BIL came the last time we played them, 2013. We ended up finding a cab after the night game to get us back to their hotel.

Hope you like it! And tell Bowtie we said hi

If you guys are doing appetizers, the cheese board or the mushroom sliders are awesome.
The pimento cheese is decent.

I like the shrimp and grits for dinner. Others like the pot roast. I have never gotten the wagyu, but my friends like it.


I really hope it does not disappoint

You make me feel all special that you remember sugar snap peas.

Been in KC 5 years. Couldn't disagree more about Joe's over Jackstack. Go to Jackstack and get cheesy corn, lamb ribs, crown prime beef rib, and whatever else sounds good. I didn't like Q39. Joe's is great, just put Jackstack as my #1.

On your way out of town, maybe stop at Scott's Kitchen and get brisket tacos or burrito. Same exit as the airport, pretty good bbq presented in a different way.

I was unimpressed by Lamberts. The food wasn't anything special and the throwed rolls schtick loses its appeal after about 5 seconds.
Gunny456

We eat there about once a month. Food is always awesome and apparently lots of folks agree as it is always packed. Why would the throwed rolls bother anyone? They ask before they throw you one.
At least four weeks ago they were still doing it.
