Gates and Bryant's are the two most well-known BBQs in KC -- the East-of-downtown locations on Brooklyn are recommended. When I was younger, there were some small BBQ places along Prospect Ave. that were open periodically, and these places would do wonderful things. At Bryant's, they will wrap up your order for travel (I have hosted dinner parties in Boston where the ribs were still warm), and its location is convenient to the highway if you're headed to MCI. Generally, I prefer Bryant's meats and Gates' sauce.
None of these places are in particularly pleasant neighborhoods, BTW.

Maurice's update:
They now have small freezers near the counters where you can pick up two-pound boxes of the BBQ mentioned above. I brought back enough to quell my BBQ cravings...or at least bring them back to a manageable level.
The frozen BBQ isn't quite as good as the fresh-made, but it certainly gets the job done.

RO's Best BBQ in America!
This is something different. I first had RO's at the Freedom Park cityfest here in Charlotte, NC. The RO's Slaw truck was serving at the fair; I knew immediately that RO's was the best barbeque I had ever had. This is no small thing to say, being from southern Virginia where bbq is a very serious thing. RO's bbq is served with "RO's slaw" with is really a sauce. It's ketchup based, spicy, and different from any other sauce I've ever heard of. Ever since I had that sandwich, I drive all the way to Ganstonia every weekend for lunch. If you're in the area, I would recomend stopping by there.

How apropos that this thread re-emerge now! I was looking for it just the other day to link to the current 2004 Starwood Kansas City thread where we touched upon some BBQ references.
During the next visit, I will do some research to identify some of the more obscure BBQ places in Kansas City that I mentioned in my 2002 post. My hometown has changed remarkably, but some of these places may still exist.
Edited to add the link to the referenced thread
