Jack Stack Barbecue - Martin City

Food was brought out quickly. Must try the baked beans and I had the "Burnt Tips" which was great! So tender and smoked to perfection. Dont waste a side on fries.. try the corn and coleslaw! I highly recommend. Good eats! Portions are hearty...expect to take some home for later! =) Pros: Baked beans are a requirement! Cons: None! more

Jack Stack's has expanded in the last several years making it easier for people all over the Kansas City area to enjoy their bar-b-q BUT it is still a treat to go to the original. Their food is always great, their baked beans the best ever and the corn casserole a must! more

I've never liked any BBQ until I went to Jack Stack! That place is awesome. I was literally dizzy from eating so much! Pros: Great menu/great food Cons: Get there early! more

I moved to Kansas City for the Barbecue. I swear. And Jack Stack is the alpha, the omega. The end all, be all. The 800 pound gorilla of barbecue. I've had memphis . . . Memphis is a joke. Tastes like spam. Texas barbecue is like eating a dog toy. Nothing. Nothing. Compares to Jack Stack. So it is written, so it is done. more

This is truly Kansas City's best! The ribs are fall off the bones, melt in your mouth fantastic! The smokey flavor is not overpowering, just right. Pros: down town, moderatly priced Cons: parking more

I live in CA and visit KC 2-3 times a year, and on every visit ensure I get to this restaurant. While I prefer the "homey" atmosphere of the Martin City location, the Overland Park location is more convenient to reach. This is one of the best quality BBQ restaurants I've visited in any region across the US. I ususally carry a cooler with me to KC to be able to bring food home, because my family has become addicted to it as well. If you're in KC, DON'T MISS this place! Pros: Food (RIBS!), Service, Full Service Bar Cons: A bit pricey more

The VERY best beans in the world! Meat can't be beat. Coleslaw is to live for. We always order the Roundup meal and enjoy the leftovers. Hubby won't eat BBQ anywhere else. His brother from Dallas is furious they don't have Jack Stack restaurants in Texas. Pros: BEANS-Meat-Slaw, Price/Value/Service, Atmosphere-Lighting Cons: , coupons? more

This is barbeque the way nature intended! Bring your out-of-town friends in for dinner, they won't want to leave without a few slabs to go. Pros: Excellent food, Close parking more

While visiting from out of state & wanting BBQ, our hosts suggest JackStack. What a great visit we had! The food was seasoned/served superbly, with ample amounts for all. I had few complaints, one being the wings appetizer arrived with the dinner. Also, the sausage was dry, perhaps it was oversmoked/moisture deprived? Lastly, the ribs (all-beef/pork/lamb) were a bit too fatty for my liking. But that did leave them moist & they were tasty nonetheless. Our cute waitress Rebecca was a bit overzealous, but that beats being ignored. The waitstaff appeared interested & devoted to their customers. All in all, quite an enjoyable dining experience. Strongly recommend. Pros: Tasty BBQ, Wide menu variety Cons: Busy is good, Location not perfect more

A family move in the early 70's brought me to KC and it's heavenly barbecue. I've traveled a bit since, have sampled many other styles of barbecue throughout the country, but Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ still reigns supreme. The flavor is excellent, service in any one of their three restaurants is top-notch, portions are a meal-and-a-half, and the menu has seafood and steaks that are out of this world. You don't even need to be in KC, because they ship it across the country. WOW! Pros: Taste, Portions, Service Cons: Waiting to be seated more

For some of the best BBQ I always take my out of town guest to Jacks. I have had some of them take the menu home with them. And one of my friends have them ship it to their house in florida each month. Pros: Good parking, seating pager Cons: Dinner wait more
