Jack Stack Barbecue - Lee's Summit
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.
To stand out in the competitive KC barbecue scene of the mid 1970's, Jack and Delores, began cooking with Gourmet Hickory Wood and created the most extensive barbecue menu in the country. The menu included Certified Angus Beef steaks, tender chicken, award-winning lamb ribs, and mouth-watering sides like Hickory Pit Beans and Cheesy Corn Bake.

The food was amazing, as usual. Great service, short wait time.
Excellent!!!
We love Jack Stack and loved trying the sampler. We both had never tried the ribs and it was fun to sample lots of new things. Our server was fantastic and even got to see another server who helped us last week.
We are in competition BBQ and run contests across the world. We were very impressed with the ribs!! We had the rest for lunch today. Restaurant week helped us to decide we will be back!! Thank you for giving us the opportunity by participating.
Someone paid our entire tab, don't know who. It was very nice.
Jack Stack has been a Kansas City institution for years. This location is consistent and wonderful. We are so pleased to\have Jack Stack open in Lee’s Summit!
This was my first time at this restaurant and the food was amazing. And our server Cheyenne was so great!!! She was very helpful, attentive, and very sweet. I have never done this at any restaurant, but if I were to come back I would definitely ask for Cheyenne! I will rephrase that, I will definitely come back.
Great waiter! I’ve had better ribs there before.
Food was delicious, our server, Anthony was very helpful and friendly, excellent value, we are returning customers

We had to wait a bit, even with our reservation. And then service was slow. Server was personable, but he kept disappearing on us.
The food was great, and the portions were huge!

Service great other staff are attentive to each other’s tables. I’ve always had a wow experience. I was a little disappointed that the crown rib on Monday seemed like it was a leftover from weekend. I will always comeback just not on Monday’s.

I ordered the Kansas City Combo with smoked sausage and burnt ends. I got 4 whole burnt ends. I also got a half gallon of cheesy corn which is the only reason I left full.

I indulge in barbecue several times a year and Jack Stack is always my first choice. The waitstaff is courteous and patient with my sometimes lengthy scan of the menu -- plus they keep the ice tea coming! I know there are plenty of other 'cue places -- some of them plenty good, but I think Jack Stack remains first among equals.
The menu has choices for every palate from a plate of lamb ribs cooked to perfection to my favorite: The Poor Russ. And the baked beans speak for themselves... I could just about make a meal of those!
My go-to location is the Martin City restaurant but all the Jack Stacks are equally good and a great place to gather with friends and enjoy some barbecue.
Thank you for the review, Terry! We hope to see you back soon!
As usual, the food quality & service were exceptional!
Thank you for the review!
Our server was wonderful and charming, the food was really good, but the ribs and burnt ends were extremely high in fat. We all ordered an adult beverage with our dinner and they were excellent but really pricey. Overall, dinner was fabulous just really expensive for where we are and what we got.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate your feedback - It helps make our team better! We hope to see you back soon!
The service was great, the food was excellent and the drinks were very refreshing. Only down fall was the mask that had to be worn, but guess that’s just the times we live in.
Thanks for the review!
One of the best in KC, which means in the world. And THE best beans in the world!
Thanks for the review, Darryl!
