   My husband and I came to town for a concert and wanted to experience true barbecue. We were not disappointed! We had the Jack’s Best dinner and the crown prime beef rib is what barbecue dreams are made of. If we were staying another night we would go back a second time.

   We make a trip to Jack Stack every time we visit Kansas City. We love the Burnt ends. The service is exceptional and the food is always amazing. The Freight House atmosphere is beautiful as well.

   Freight house location is our long-standing go to place in town for BBQ. Last night missed the usual mark of high standards. Prime rib special was only fair as largely marbled throughout with fat. Was told came with two sides but was charged for second side. Slow service particularly when it came to the end and time for the check. The place was very busy with several large parties but we felt overlooked. Will head down to the plaza next time, or some place else altogether .

   Jack Stack in the Freight House is our go-to for a wonderful evening of always well-done barbecue. Do so love the mushroom appetizers too!

    It was a great having my Fiancé's birthday dinner at Jack Stack Freight House. They put us in the back private room where we were able to close doors for a more private dinner. The server was great, food was amazing and cocktail drinks were delicious. We all will definitely be back!

    Quick and easy reservation, accommodating 11 adults and 1 child. Server, Emily, was kind, quick and on point. I wish she was able to tell us that we over ordered food by like 2-3 entrees but maybe that's not her place to tactfully tell us our eyes are bigger than our tummies. Best BBQ I've ever had, great value. Baked beans and broccoli was delicious. Nothing too special about the Mac & cheese, potato salad, fries, scalloped potatoes in my opinion. Smoked salmon dip app was wonderful and light. Fantastic quality! All our protein was tasty and perfect consistency. AMAZING lamb ribs, burnt ends, crown royal beef ribs, pork ribs. didn't taste the brisket or pulled pork. smoked sausage was soft and so so. didn't taste the sauces personally but everyone at our table loved the KC sauce and the sweeter sauce. our table said the flavored teas and bloody Mary's were good.

    Food is delish, as always - my kids even liked it, which is saying a lot. My 9 year old’s eyes were burning from swimming at the hotel all afternoon. Our waiter brought him eyewash from a first aid kit in the restaurant so I could flush his eyes for him. We didn’t even ask. He also knew we meant just one dessert, but 4 forks even when the kids were making other requests. Absolutely great experience. So thankful for our waiter.

    JS never disappoints, I always get the pick 2 with brisket and pork ribs, probably should have gotten the baby backs, their beans are the gold standard to which I compare all others who fall short. One thing they should add to the menu or meals is a side of cornbread option. Our server Tyler was great.

    When you are in KC and you want BBQ this is definitely the place to go. The service was fantastic and the food is out of this world. Jack Stack’s BBQ never disappoints. The freight house building makes for an awesome atmosphere. Make sure to make your reservation early to be sure to get in.

    Dined by Union Station Sunday. We've been there several times and as usual everything we ordered was delicious and the service was excellent. Eye catching interior always something to see. Only very minor complaint was the noise level, but that won't stop us from returning,

    Arrived for our reservation and went straight to our table despite a very large crowd waiting. Service was fast and excellent! We shared the pit master and also ordered the jalapeño cornbread and potato salad. The sides were excellent! We really enjoyed the meats- except the burnt ends- they were literally chunks of fat. We didn’t eat any of them which was disappointing. I ordered the cucumber jalapeño margarita and it was rather weak. We’d definitely go back!

    It was pretty busy because a lot of people were in town for a concert. We made reservations a week ahead of time so we didn’t have a long wait once we checked in. Service was a little slow but expected that with how busy they were. Food was amazing! Had the cornbread for appetizer & shared the pitmaster family platter with my husband and got carrot cake to go for later. All of it was soooo good!

    Amazing BBQ, came from St. Louis for the weekend and so glad we chose to eat here. It was a two hour wait on a Friday night so I made a reservation for the next afternoon, and so glad I did. The entire experience was most pleasurable! One more positive on the KC list for me. Will definitely be making reservations again when we return.
