    Had a reservation. I was sat in front of kitchen window in a lower booth. I ended up changing to other side of booth for a view of the hanging wooden chandelier. So, not a good view! Noise level was horrendous!

    Had dinner with a friend tonight who had read somewhere that Jack Stack had pork chops for a short time so we both ordered them. They were thick and juicy and exquisitely seasoned. We shared a molten lava brownie ala mode that was to die for. To make our dinner even better, our server was friendly and had a great sense of humor responding to my friend’s teasing.

    I brought a guest from out of town. I knew I liked the Freight-house location better, but it was booked so we went to the Plaza location. It didn’t start off well. As the hostess sat us at a dirty table. She didn’t notice the water rings and residual food on the table. We ordered onion rings. They were okay. $13 for 6 “okay” onion rings. The entrees were good. Not phenomenal “wrote home about” bbq. I’d give the entrees a 3.5, and the cheesy corn a 5. (An entree that wasn’t bbq but just sides would be my go to, if it was offered. Like 3 or 4 sides would be perfect. ) Side note, the music was way too loud.

    The best, as always. The only problem is that I want everything on the menu.

    Jack Stack is always an excellent choice for BBQ. We really enjoy the Plaza restaurant. Everything is always perfectly cooked and fresh foods are fresh!! We will be back again, and again!

    Good food. Loved sitting on the patio. The indoor noise level was unbearable! We were there almost 2 hours with no explanation as to why our food was taking so long. The 3 of us watched every table fill, eat, and leave before we even finished eating. We did not say anything. We were offered a dessert to share for our wait. I guess a dessert makes up for the time we patiently waited while the place cleared out. We were the last ones there. We will not return to the Plaza location.

    Always a great experience at Jack Stack. 3-meat combo was great and the baked beans are the best in KC.

    Every part of our dining experience today was amazing. The hostess was warm and inviting; she put me at ease while I waited for my husband and out out-of-town guest to arrive from the airport. Shawn, our server, was thorough, friendly, and efficient. Our meal was delicious, as usual. I love Jack Stack!
