"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.

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.

    Our reservation was at 7 PM and we were seated right away. When our server greeted us, she shared with us a number of menu items (five, I believe) that were no longer available due to graduations, etc., which is understandable during this time of the year. Once we ordered our drinks, it took more than 10 minutes for them to arrive. We also ordered the corn bread as an appetizer which took 20 minutes to arrive. My side salad didn’t arrive for 30 minutes. Finally, at 7:45 our entrées arrived. We both ordered sandwiches with a side, so not really sure why it took that long to receive our order. in addition, we ran out of our drinks twice during our meal. We were able to get refills, but that took longer than expected. Our food was outstanding as always, but my jumbo beef sandwich was far from jumbo, as I’ve ordered this several times in the past. (I typically order trout but this was one of the items that was unavailable). A party of eight was seated next to us after we arrived and received their food and actually finished their meal before our food even arrived. Two other parties that were seated in the bar right after we arrived, also received their food and finished before our food even arrived. We eat at this location at least once a month if not more frequently. In fact, we ordered over $200 worth of sides for a family get together on May 3 at our home. Our server appeared to be new, since we have never seen her at this location before. Not sure if there were issues processing our order or where the breakdown occurred. We have been coming to this location ever since it opened. However, this isn’t the first time the service has been sub standard in the last year. It’s much closer than the Martin City location for us, which was our location of choice for years.  We may visit the Martin City location on our next visit to Jack Stack.

    We had a 530 reservation but we were sat closer to 6pm. Dined as a party of 4. We were celebrating a family member’s return from deployment. Server was polite and answered questions we had very well. We waited a long time to get food and when it was finally delivered it was not complete. Only 2 entrees arrived. We waited an additional 5 minutes with no information on where the remaining entrees were. One party member got up to look for a manager or any assistance and was unable to locate anyone to help. I finally located a manager who had one of the remaining entrees but still not the final entree, which of course was for the person we were celebrating. I finally located a manager who informed me that our food had been delivered to the wrong table. A manager should have immediately addressed the situation when the food went to the wrong table. Instead we were left confused, frustrated and hungry. What was supposed to be a celebration was a total disappointment.

    Our go-to place for BBQ dining when entertaining guests. Food was excellent, as always. Deviated off the norm and tried a new entre item, grilled pork chop. It was quite tasty! Servers were all very prompt and special kudos to Cooper, who took expert care of our every request.

    Some of the best burnt ends in Kansas City! The Lenexa location is upscale but the wait staff is friendly and laidback. Great place to wind down your week or after a business event.
