I go to Jack Stack several times a month. It is a clean ""modern"" restraunt and is still able to put out a product that rivals and beats a lot of the smaller more hands on BBQ joints which is impressive. They have the best beans in K.C. (closely followed by Oklahoma Joes). One of my favorite dishes is the flattened chicken. The menu has a lot variety and there are plenty options if you wish to branch out a bit. Oh and make sure to order a ""rack"" of onion rings...
Pros: Excellent Beans, Ribs, Friendly
Cons: more expensive
