Out of all the bbq places that I went to in the area, this is one of the only spots that I can…read morewhole heartedly recommend. There is a line out of the door, and that is always a good sign that the food is going to hit. Although the line is long, it moves pretty well so do not get discouraged. Wait it out, it will be worth it. The Z Man sandwich with brisket is on point. The bun doesn't get talked about enough. It is soft and butter and compliments the brisket really well. The brisket itself is tender and flavorful. I loved that the sauce was automatically applied. A lot of the joints in the area drown their bbq in sauce. For sides, the potato salad was ok. The corn bread with the honey butter is phenomal. It gets 4 thumbs up. That includes my big toes. I was already full but I downed that cornbread with all my might. And, when things can't get any better, there's the banana pudding. The sugar crumble crunch is the cherry on top. Absolute bliss.

He was incredibly kind, accommodating, gave great recommendations, and went above and beyond. You never know what to expect with a chain-like BBQ spot, but this place did NOT disappoint. The appetizers were amazing- we got the potato skins and beef burnt ends. The BBQ it self was delicious.. my husband and I got the prime short rib and brisket burnt ends (in photo), cheesy corn, baked beans (were smoky not too sweet), onion rings (SO GOOD), and slaw (a bit watery but okay). I would not recommend the pork burnt ends, the brisket ones were 10/10- thanks for the rec Ron. My kids got the kids rib plate. The kids ribs were a tad bit dry- but the prime short rib we got was UNREAL. Lastly.... The turtle cheesecake..... holy cow... Overall 10/10 experience- highly recommend!!

You get so much food for the price, we ended up taking most of it home lol. We ordered the Round Up and made some swaps, went with the beef brisket, beef burnt ends, sausage, and the crown prime beef rib. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The burnt ends were a standout, super tender with that perfect char. The mac and cheese was also solid and hit the spot. The ambience was great, nice balance of upscale and casual with a warm, inviting feel. It's the kind of place you can relax, enjoy good food, and not feel rushed. Service was great too. Our server (I think his name was Thoeun) was super friendly and took good care of us the whole time. Also have to mention the carrot cake... unreal. We're not even carrot cake people, but this one changed that. Highly recommend if you're ever in Kansas City.

We were visiting from out of town and were excited to try Kansas City barbecue. I ordered the…read moreKansas City Combo with beef burnt ends and brisket, along with the Roundup for 2 with pork ribs and more brisket. The ribs and brisket were both excellent and definitely the highlights of the meal. The burnt ends were just okay, even though many of the reviews seemed to rave about them. For sides, we tried the fries, beans, spinach salad, and asparagus, and all of which were delicious. The sweet vinaigrette on the salad was really good, and fries were perfectly crisp. Service was also very good overall, and we really enjoyed our meal and experience.

Originally I thought the bird end fries were going to be mid but the meat was really rich and the thickness of the fries really helped. I wish I had more. I was told when you get the meat you supposed to drown it and sauce and I thought that it was going to be like that for the ribs but they weren't I was disappointed at first. The meat was very flavorful and you can tell they put some real love in the meat. Bold, spiced, savory and salted perfectly. I came from recommendations from a Lyft driver but he told me there was mac and cheese but there wasn't mac and cheese on the app. I was sad about that only. Everything else was perfect to the touch. I'm going to sleep like a big baby bear tonight lol. You need some sweets though. I ordered on insta cart. So I'm guessing I probably missed The full experience but next time I'm in town I'm heading in to sit. Also didn't know this was a franchise. I totally understand why. I don't need fancy looking I just need good flavored food and this deliveries!! Appreciate it. This was a great last meal from KC. I'm no Queefs fan but I bet this would be excellent for a football day. Last thing this is way better than Texas barbecue. KC is definitely 5X better

This place is a Kansas City staple so if you're visiting, you have to check them out. There are a…read morebunch of locations all over the city. This location was in a strip mall with a parking lot. It's exactly what you would expect of an old school barbecue joint. It gives a little bit of a diner feel meets cafeteria. You order your food at the counter and pay. Your order is given to you on a tray and then you go and find a seat. There is a waitress there to take drink orders and anything else you might need. The waitress was very kind and hospitable. I ordered the barbecue chicken and you get to choose from different types of sauces. I had the sweet barbecue sauce and for my sides I had coleslaw and potato salad. The starting portions for the sides are really small, but the protein portions are quite large. I really enjoyed my potato salad and coleslaw. If I wasn't staying at a hotel, I would have ordered more to go. The chicken I had was juicy and well seasoned. It was a little on the saltier side than I would've liked, but once I added the sweet barbecue sauce, it helped to balance out the flavor. You were really able to taste the smokiness of the meat and you can't leave there without the smoky scent getting into your clothing. You really felt like you were at a barbecue.

I ordered the brisket combo with a quarter chicken leg, cheesy corn, and baked potato casserole. My partner went with the brisket sandwich. We grabbed it to go in a hurry... and forgot plastic utensils. Crisis? Maybe. Regret? None. The brisket was perfection -- tender, beautifully smoked, with bark that had just the right texture. The chicken was outstanding too: lightly sauced, deeply flavored, juicy all the way through. Every bite tasted intentional. Even eating it on the go, slightly improvised utensil situation and all, this was some of the best Kansas City BBQ we've had. Would absolutely come back -- preferably with forks next time.

Got a sampler platter w/ cheesy corn and potato casserole and added burnt ends + ribs to go since I'm traveling with my 2 kitties. Everything was just... bland, especially the brisket and burnt ends. Very surprised the bbq place is so popular when the food is just meh. Was also surprised how cheap the online prices were and turns out, the prices aren't updated. The outdoor seating looks nice, and the staff were friendly, but I would not come back.

First off, the place is huge. Despite that, it's not too loud, and it's not overwhelming. I really enjoyed the meal here with 4 other business associates. Service was spot on. Really. Our waiter made us feel like we were the most important people in the place. I can't say enough about how important that is, but I'm sure most of you understand that already! I had the brisket and burnt tips, and they were amazing. As a side, the fries were also fantastic, and the barbecue sauce was superb. I don't normally go overboard about dining at a restaurant, but this place deserves every good review it gets. I cannot recommend Jack Stack highly enough. I only wish I didn't live 4 hours away - I'd look forward to going here one a much more regular basis!

Turkey was plain Jane and the brisket was just fine. Came with coleslaw, beans, and cheesy corn. Beans were great with pork in them. Corn was very cheesy, but could have used a bit more seasoning. Coleslaw came out way before the foods which was odd. Partner liked the coleslaw. Ordered an extra side of cheesy potatoes. That was the best thing there. Service was good for our party of 11. And their sangria is very tasty, but a tad overpriced.
