Jolly is now my favorite Christmas pop-up! The decorations were SO amazing and festive, and the country-western, "hard candy Christmas" twist definitely made for a unique and fun vibe. The drinks were great.

The Dover Sole did not disappoint. Excellent service with Amy. A bit noisy but it’s a small place and we were inside.

Phenomenal location, decorations and facility. The drinks and the containers/cups they came in were so creative and delicious. And the staff here is amazing! So friendly and helpful and perfect at creating cool drinks. The Farmhouse is filled with great areas for photos and such a great example of what a Christmas pop-up should be. Well done!!

Lee's Summit

About the restaurant

"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.
