RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack - Mission, Kansas RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack in Mission, Kansas looks like an old BBQ dive, but it has only been open since October, 2003. Although the Chef/owner's name is Bob, the restaurant is named for his son Robert, Jr. RJ's is known for country style cooking, and the side dishes are among my favorite items. I particularly enjoy the cheesy corn bake and they do a good job on the lightly seasoned French fries. You may be surprised to find that a side of corn on the cob is a whole ear, not just the 3 or 4 inch section that many restaurants serve. After several visits, I have sampled pork ribs, burnt ends, chicken wings, sausage, and brisket. I've enjoyed all of the meats, but my favorite meat is the meaty chicken wings, which have a lot of flavor from the smoking and need no sauce. Two house sauces are provided - regular and spicy. Both are sweet with a hint of vinegar, and I don't think there is a big difference between them. But there is Tobasco sauce on the tables and you can make it as hot as you want. On Saturdays and Sunday's RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack serves country style breakfasts from 9AM - 1PM. Bloody Mary's are $6 during breakfast. RJ's Bob-Be-Que Shack was one of the four Kansas City BBQ restaurants being featured on the July 12, 2-10 episode of the Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
