"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.

    Pork ribs were served hot and juicy (mostly-a little chewy on the ends). Cheesy potato bake also hot and delicious! Serving was very good. SO noisy, though!

    Overall it was a nice meal. Here’s what we had “issues” with: We went at 3pm. We made reservations and had no wait. We sat and a booth and enjoyed the ambiance and quiet noise level. Our server was kind but once our food arrived, she did not return to our table until we were almost finished. I requested a side of ranch for my French fries that did not come with our order (no biggie If your waiter checks in shortly after you receive your food). No a major thing but I would have enjoyed the food a bit more with my request. The food was a bit cool and nowhere near hot. The pork ribs were a bit dry as well but I know they tend to do that. We split one of the “que for two” options. Also thing these platters should come with bread. We also would have made that request if our waiter would have returned. The sausage was cold and had kind of a pithy texture with no snap on the casing. In my opinion, going during the more slow hours should guarantee hot food and quick service. Overall, things happen, but we would be swift to return as there are plenty of other KC bbq options.

    The BEST. I visit every time I am in the KC area. Burnt ends are a must, but don’t sleep on the turkey. It is amazing.

    Everything was excellent. Only exception would be the brisket had a lot of fat on it.

    Service was wonderful and food was exceptional as always! I still miss the old Jack Stack, the new one is too sterile and doesn’t have enough to make it look like a true bbq joint. Food is still the same though!
