| Robert "Bob" Palmgren is a French-trained, Certified Executive Chef who has cooked in some of the most well-known fine- dining establishments in the country. He built an impressive resume during the 30-year period prior to opening RJ's Bob-Be- Que Shack in 2003, in which he fulfilled a life-long dream. Located on the convenient corner of Johnson Drive and Lamar Avenue, RJ's opened Halloween 2003 and over the years we transitioned from our humble beginnings of serving sandwiches in foam boxes to the thriving business we are today. Our award-winning hickory-smoked meats, homemade soups, and grilled fish -- not to mention our ever-popular fries tossed in Bob's secret seasoning -- are all reasons why we have been so successful. Presently, we serve home-style country breakfast on the weekends until 1pm and BBQ lunch and dinner are available seven days a week. The carry out and catering aspects of RJ's have proved extremely successful and are growing everyday. We regularly feature live music, highlighting local artists on our back patio, Mission City Limits, in the warmer months and in our dining room during the cooler ones. Bob’s great dream of creating and serving the best BBQ Kansas City has ever seen is coming truer and truer every day. |
