Jack Stack Barbecue

You GUYS. A 100% MUST for BBQ in KC. I came at 4:30PM and there was an hour wait. I just walked to the bar and I was so lucky one of the high top tables was open. Pro tip - the bar area (not the booths) is open seating so always smart to put your name down, and then go grab a drink at the (FULL SERVICE) bar and keep an eye out for a table. I tried the smoked salmon dip to start which was very good, I just wasn’t expecting it to be a cold dish so I was a little sad - but only my fault! After that — BOY! I got the pick two combo and I did the lamb ribs and a whatever ribs were the most expensive ones? Prime something - I’m on vacation so I splurged. Okay those expensive ribs were HUMONGOUS. they were fall off the bone delicious. Also, my sides were the house favorites which were cheesy corn and baked beans - also phenomenal. My server Jason was exceptional. It was a pleasure to watch him literally working the room all night making sure everyone was taken care of. This man knows the true meaning of hospitality. Last - I’m NOT a huge dessert person - but the lady at my hotel said the carrot cake was a must have. Especially, I’m NOT a fan of carrot cake. But Jason actually convinced me. He said it was “like a cinnamon roll”. What you need to know about Jason, he is not a liar. It. Was. Amazing. Also, have to shout out Isaac who was working the bar the whole time (I was at a table in the bar area). Isaac was also a sweetheart and a master of hospitality. I had very limited time traveling here from Houston and I was really excited I made time for this!! 🩷🩷🩷

Visiting from out of state. While in town, I decided to go to this restaurant based on the reviews. I was not by all means wowed by the food, it was okay, have definitely had better as the beef and sausage lacked taste. Therefore I’d say that I was a little disappointed. Price wise, their prices are reasonable based on portion sizes! The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. If in town again, I probably would not visit again.

Food, service and atmosphere were all great and lived up to the previous reviews! Had brisket and hickory chicken. My husband LOVED the brisket (best he’s ever had!). We also had the carrot cake which was really good! Service was really good, food came pretty quickly and the atmosphere was nice. Lots of seating and good decor.

Visiting from Michigan. Nice clean and friendly atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Our waiter Frank was very attentive and fun. Way to go Frank, great job! The mac and cheese and baby back ribs were my favorite.

Visiting from the St Louis area we had to try some Kansas City BBQ. Jack Stack did not disappoint. An hour and half wait-time but it was worth it! Our food came up quick after ordering. Our waitress Kenya was excellent. Very professional with a great smile. We enjoyed the brisket, ribs, burnt ends, sausage, pulled pork, cheesy corn, baked beans, and the carrot cake to top of the dinner. Patio seating is awesome. Seeing and hearing the trains pass by was pretty cool. We will be back!
