 Quick's Bar-B-Q & Catering Company has been operating since 1964. Founded by Earl Quick, this was the second location opened and it is operated by his son, Ron. Quick's 7th Street Bar B Q (also in Kansas City, Kansas) is operated by another of Earl's sons. Although Quick's has only a small counter in the front room where takeout food is picked up, it has a fairly large dining room which was added onto the original building. Quick's menu is large for a BBQ restaurant and includes many appetizers and such non typical items as catfish, corn dogs, spiral cut deep fried hot dogs and hickory smoked, deep fried bologna sandwiches. My favorite items at Quick's Bar-B-Q are the ham, ribs, smoked sausage, chili, and the fresh French fried potato wedges. Quick's sells their chili year around, unlike most KC places that sell their chili "in season." The sausage is sliced prior to smoking, giving it more rind and more smoke flavor. They aren't my favorites, but I also like both of Quick's BBQ sauces. The sweet sauce is similar to original flavor KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. The hot has a good flavor, but doesn't see hot to my taste. The service at Quick's has been superior every time I have visited.
