Since 2014, we’ve served chef-driven barbeque built on the hybrid of traditional culinary training and competition barbeque by founder Chef Rob Magee, whose innovation carries on in the work of co-founder and CEO, Kelly Magee.
The story of Q39 began long before we opened our doors in 2014. Our roots in championship BBQ run deep, and the legacy of late founder Chef Rob Magee lives on.

Q39 is Kansas City BBQ with a twist. We pair competition-style techniques and award-winning flavors with innovative, chef-driven concepts for the ultimate BBQ experience. Whether we’re grilling for six judges or sixty customers, we don’t take shortcuts; expect fresh ingredients, sliced-to-order brisket straight from the smoker, Certified Angus Burgers ground in-house daily, and wood-fired grilled plates served from flame to table. Our guests come for the Q, stay for the craft cocktails, and return for the service.
BBQ is more than something you eat– it’s an experience. We curate unique dinners, events and menu specials to take your love of BBQ to the next level. Take a look and join us!
