"Highest-rated barbecue in the country!" - Zagat Survey

Jack Stack Barbecue originated in Kansas City in 1957, by Russ Fiorella in a traditional storefront barbecue, with a modest selection of 5 or 6 items. Jack Fiorella, the eldest son, worked with his father until 1974 when he decided to branch off and start Fiorella's Jack Stack of Martin City.

    Disappointed, and doubt we’ll return. Beef burnt ends were mostly fat. Pork were okay and the beans had more beef in them than the burnt ends. For their prices I expected more.

    Always a great meal at the Martin City Jack Stack, as well as the others at which I've eaten in the KC area, along with very good service. My only complaint was being seated below the AC duct, which made for several chilly moments during the meal.

    We had the Stack sandwich, Barbecue potato, burnt ends, onion rings, beans, Cheesy Potato bake, and coleslaw. Everything was delicious. However, the beef burnt ends were tough and stringy and the pork burnt ends were about 50% fat. I’ll stick with the pork ribs from now on: messy but always good.

    The rack of lamb was a half good and the short end was pitiful.
