Kansas City Barbeque was started in 1983 by Martin and Cindy Blair, who hail from Kansas City. It quickly became a downtown San Diego landmark, playing a big part in revitalizing the area’s dining scene. Its popularity soared when it was used as a filming location for “Top Gun,” with scenes shot right there. The place is now closely associated with the movie, showcasing memorabilia and even the piano featured in the film.
You’ll find Kansas City Barbeque at 600 W. Harbor Drive, right in the heart of downtown San Diego. It’s just across from Seaport Village and close to the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum. Getting there is easy by car or public transport, and there are plenty of parking options nearby.
Kansas City Barbeque is a fantastic mix of tasty BBQ and nostalgic vibes, making it a must-see spot for anyone visiting San Diego. Whether you’re into food or movies, this iconic place will give you a memorable experience.
