"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.

    THE MEAT WAS DRY! It was terrible to chew. Very disappointing. Like when I say dry, it was DRY. ugh.

    I asked for my meat to be lean and it can’t back with a high level of fat and when I mentioned it to the waiter, his response was “would you like a refill on your soda”. No apology or any way to fix it but instead, let me there to pick all of the fat off

    Some of the best BBQ we have ever had. The burnt ends will melt in your mouth. The cole slaw is excellent.

    I had the KC Combo with three meats. The beef brisket was tender, the smoked sausage delicious as were the pork ribs. It's a great sampler at a great price. The fries were perfect as well: crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. Our waiter was attentive and the food came out hot and in a timely fashion.

    We ordered the platter for four, having no idea how much food there would be. There was easily enough for 8 people! I Mentioned that to the server who just smiled and indicated that it always makes great leftovers. While I agree with that, I still wish he would have forewarned us about the amount we were getting!

    We love Jack Stack! We had a party of 6 and also needed some extra food for carry-out. Our servers took great care of us and everything was delicious. Their cheesy corn is the best.

    Food was either overcooked or not hot enough. Service was ok. Bill was way too high for food that was overcooked and/or not warm enough. Ambiance was not great. They have too many tables jammed together shoulder to shoulder. On our table one of us had to move because servers had to squeeze between the chair and plates were going above his head. The quality of this location continues to fall, and I think we’re going to have to start driving past it to get to Freight House or drive to Martin City. Both options will have us at Jack Stack less, which is a shame because we love the way the food usually is at other locations. Jack Stack is a place I would take KC visitors for a up-leveled experience. I will be skipping this location for that purpose.

    Food was delicious and more than plentiful - we had the burnt tips appetizer- oh my, a must order! Also had the chicken club, the chicken salad and the entree baked potato with pulled pork. Could not finish the dishes! The sauces are house made as well as the memo adds - so delicious. Our waitress made excellent recommendations and was friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. Highly recommend.
