⛲️ The Grill Next Door

Locals Eat Too: Joe’s Next Door will open in the former Taco Republic space directly across Mission Road from the original gas station location at 3002 W 47th Ave in KCK. Joe's founders Jeff and Joy Stehney, along with VP Ryan Barrows, are designing the new spot to be a faster, more accessible experience for locals.

Grill Next Door: The new concept will serve lunch and dinner seven days a week, and feature an enclosed patio with garage doors, fire pits, picnic tables, and TVs, seating 80 to 90 guests. The menu will carry Joe's classics like the Z-Man sandwich and seasoned fries, and add new items including loaded fries, smoked salmon dishes, housemade ice cream shakes, boozy shakes, frozen cocktails, and more.

Gather Together: These monthly gatherings pair you with a group of five fellow Kansas Citians based on a 15-question personality quiz. Groups will be matched to have dinner together at a local restaurant based on responses, then all tables will be invited to an all-group gathering afterwards for drinks and further connection!
