There used to be a Smokestack up north in Clay County, MO that was quite good. I don't think it's there anymore. I have to think the prior poster was thinking of Jack Stack...there are 4 or 5 locations around town, with the most well-known one in the Crossroads south of downtown. Great burnt ends. All of the side dishes are fantastic - especially the beans.
Q39 is the hot new(ish) trendy spot. If you want to eat there for lunch, get there at 11AM sharp. Also a dinner spot although I haven't been there in the evening yet.
Danny's ("the Pink Pig") on the Boulevard is a nice, quick BBQ sandwich spot for lunch. Good pork and burnt ends. Sandwich + fries + drink for about $12, easy in and out plus some outdoor picnic tables.
