"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.

    Great food! Huge servings and very well presented. However young server handed us the bill before we had even finished our meals, and didn’t offer dessert. We will return.

    This was our second visit. Both my wife and I ordered different menu items (brisket, burnt ends, smoked wings). The brisket and burnt ends were fabulous. The wings were overcooked and dry (disappointing). Sides were good. The onion ring appetizer was good.

    Our meal went very smooth. We were never distracted from our meal or visiting because our wait team was awesome.

    Sadly we came for a 1pm lunch and the food was great but our wait staff was not very attentive. We never got refills and when I went go the ladies room, I noticed one of them at an empty table on their phone while we had been waiting for a check and to go boxes. Just a bummer

    Server was awesome. Sauce was the only food item that was not on the same amazing-ness as everything else.

    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
