When I walked up… I squinted my eyes…👀 **WOW!!!!*** The line was waaaay down the sidewalk…. Definitely a sign that the FOOD is great…. and people want to be sure not to miss out!

Well… I thought to myself… you’re here now… & you packed your patience…. just…. ***Wait.for.it!!!!***

(((It’s worth it… I whisper to myself…))

It’s 🔥HOT🔥out here…& WINDY💨 But… it’s been a minute since I’ve had some good meat 🍖 & sauce….. So. I. WAIT!

Yay!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉I’m in there… like swimwear!!! ****LOL!!!***

Now….. what will I order????

Singing: 🎶🎵”It’s my turn!!!!🎶

Oooooh…. It smells so good in here!!! A cool groove is playing on the speaker inside… I bop my head to the beat…. yeahhhh it’s on now!!!!

The food is fine… popular items ordered with special deals include the chicken, pulled pork, hot wings, burgers… and of course RIBS!
I couldn’t pass up those! My fries and cole slaw… was also tasty!

If you can’t make up your mind… you can try 2… or even 3 meat options. Not only is the food good.. there are lots of cool things to look at all around you…

The bar is always surrounded with good positive spirits… and a very personable bartender… who makes fast friends!

So the next time you’re on track for some good times… and good food… stop right in KANSAS CITY BARBECUE….

right next to the trolley station in downtown San Diego…. near the Harbor!
