This place was recommended by folks at our hotel, so we made the drive. It was worth it. I got the burnt ends - beef and sausage. Excellent food, excellent quality. The beans were a little watery, but still had great flavor. Noise level is LOUD. This place is busy, and you almost have to yell in order to have a conversation. If I had to do it again, I would order the food to go and enjoy a nice quiet meal at the hotel. Prices are acceptable for the quality. I've had better, and I've had cheaper, but this stuff is the real deal. read more

Large portions! Great food! We always enjoy the atmosphere here! Friendly staff! Enjoyed our evening with friends. We made reservations ahead with special accommodations. It was everything that we asked for! read more

Got the sampler for two Ribs,pulled pork, brisket were outstanding in that order. Service great.

Great place to grab lunch before a Chiefs game. Or anytime. There was a crowd, but we were seated promptly since theres plenty tables. Wait staff were friendly and trained well for hospitality. Awesome upscale sports bar atmosphere. From the moment you walk in, the place smells fantastic...smoking bbq. I tried the ribs and brisket. Both wonderful. Though not the best Ive ever had. read more

Great place for bbq if you want a more upscale place to go with family or business. We typically order it more to go for a large group and the team is awesome at making sure your order is exactly what you bought and fast service. read more

Amazing food here!!! We all had different meals and were very happy! Exceptional service! Excellent seating! Love the cozy sexy feel of the place. Huge menu! Something for everyone! The burnt ends beef were to die for! Perfect amount of fat and sooooo tender! The baked beans out of this world! The portions were good. A little disappointed if you get sliced meat option. They are small and not juicy. One thing I really critique waitresses on if I order coffee. My coffee was excellent and she refilled it 3 times! Top notch! The prices here are very good! Would highly recommend this restaurant. Would not recommend sliced meats. Their takeout area was also amazing as well as their bathrooms! read more

Y'all !!! I don't even know where to begin. First off I love all the Covid precautions, can we keep the "wait in your car till you have a table" thing even when things calm back down. The food was amazing. I got the pulled pork sandwich and baked potato which was amazing. My boys loved all the meat and variety that came with the "Taste of Kansas City" meal. But . . . BUT the best part is the carrot cake. Seriously best I've ever had. This may have been our first visit but it will not be our last. Great service, great food, fair price for the quality and portion of food. read more

Myself and my Fiancé sat at the bar to eat, I ordered the lamb, with cheesy corn; I am Muslim and it explain to me that it had pork in it until I seen the meat and I ask them. one of the bar attendant, treated us like we wasn't worth their time, not one time did she come and ask us if we were satisfied with our meal or if we needed anything. I ask for a to go box, no help there; I had to ask someone else. Customer service is everything!!! read more

My husband wanted to come here for his birthday and really enjoyed it. We had great service and the food was good. The Bloody Mary was by far his favorite, and we both liked the sweet tea. I really loved the brisket but neither of us really cared for the sauce. I personally used ketchup instead but was still satisfied. It's rather pricey but I know BBQ isn't cheap I just feel like I'd rather pay less elsewhere and enjoy the sauce. We'd definitely come back for the drinks and dessert though. read more

My waitress was really nice, but unfortunately I cannot remember her name. It was hot outside and she went to get me a ponytail holder. She was also in general a great waitress. I ordered the Jumbo with the tropical paradise as a drink and it was amazing. My mom ordered the loaded bake potato and a beer. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal as always!! read more

The food was delicious (of course it was- it's Jack Stack). The service was fabulous!

It was very clean and I highly recommend. read more

Jack Stack is alright with me! I went here with a group of about 10 people. They were very attentive and the service was fast since there were 2 dedicated servers for our table. I didn't think I'd be able to find anything to eat on the menu since I'm pescaterian (vegetarian who eats seafood), but was pleasantly surprised. They have a good variety on their menu that included fish and shrimp. . I ordered the smoked salmon dip for an appetizer and the ruby red trout for my entree. The food came out pretty fast and GOOD! My fish came with fries, but I was given the option to exchange for a different side. I was also pleased at the BBQ sauce selection. They offered a hot and a spicy sauce in addition to the original. Everyone liked their food and the manager came by to make sure everything was good. 1 person's salmon was undercooked, so they took his plate and replaced it quickly. Excellent service and great food. They definitely exceeded my expectations. read more

We ordered bbq for 2 and it was amazing! Had the brisket, ribs, and pork; baked beans and pasta salad. The pasta salad was a little dry, but great flavor. Bbq was on point! Highly recommend. read more

Really nice atmosphere and decor is the first thing that comes to mind when you walk in. The second thing is the smell, vice versa if your nose works better than your eyes. Leather seating and beautiful dark wooden furniture. Prices are reasonable and the kids menu had a lot of options to keep those picky eaters satisfied. The sweet tea is tasty and the sauce is delish. Altogether it did not disappoint for Kansas City BBQ. Everything had a delicious smokey flavor. I'll definitely be back when I come around these parts again. Be sure to try them out if you ever want to see where the bar is set on KC BBQ. read more

Jack Stack provided the catering for our son and his new brides rehearsal dinner. Everything was spectacular from the brisket to the sides of beans, cheese corn, slaw and potato salad. Servers were very nice. They did a great job of setting up and taking down. Even packed up the leftovers and had a gift box of sauces and rubs for us to take home We left KC three years ago and miss Jacks. This was a very special dinner for our family. Thank you for a job well done read more

I had a great experience at Jack Stack on Sunday evening. The food was delicious and our waitress did amazing job. Can't wait till next time

I always stop somewhere different for BBQ when in KC, and this was a fantastic experience. I honestly can't find anything to complain about, setting aside personal preference. The staff was really great- our wait time was shorter than quoted, the waitstaff was really nice and professional, and refills were always on time. The atmosphere is classy and clean with a laid back feel, maybe a little too upscale for BBQ, but still nice. The food was all great. We had brisket, ribs, burnt ends, pulled pork, fries, slaw, beans, and pork sandwiches for the kids. Tender and smoky meats, crispy and hot fries of deliciousness, tangy rich beans, fresh slaw, smooth ice tea...all great. Portion sizes are solid and fairly priced.The $7 kids meals are practically adult size which is fair for the price. The 4 meat and 3 side plate we split for two stuffed us and was $31, so good deal. I was too full to eat dessert, but next time I will. My favorite Q so far in KC. read more

Normally we eat at the location downtown in the old Freight House but this time took a chance on a different location. You know how things can differ between locations! Well Jack Stack and staff had a big exceeds expectation day! Staff was on top of things, food was hot and brought out the way it was supposed to be! The acoustics are a bit harsh, but we were still able to carry on a conversation without issues. See you next time I am in town. 10/10 highly recommend!!!!! read more

born and raised on Jack stack! best sides in town. no one can challenge. recommend to anyone and everyone.

Very disappointed. Sold out of father's day feast and it is only 4:30. Said out of pulled pork so I ordered just the brisket and 2 sides and it cost as much as the special. Feel like they owe me a pound of pulled pork. read more

Loved it! This is the second time I've been to Jack Stack Barbeque, both times at this location. From the moment you open the door, you smell the smokey goodness! The wait staff is well informed and very attentive. The food is amazing. I had the Crown Prime Beef Ribs. Oh my gosh. Dripping with fat but oh so smokey good. Ditch the standard sides and swap out to the Baked Beans and the Corn Bake. Both very good. read more

I have been a fan of Jack Stack Barbecue since my husband's parents moved back to Kansas City 38 years ago and his parents took us to the Martin City location. Every time I go to Kansas City since I must stop at Jack Stack! This was my first time to go to this location and it was very nice. With Covid, it was not crowded at all, and they were using Covid precautions well. And the food was just as good as I remembered, if not a bit better. I took my son for the first time since he was a child and he finally got why we rave about the barbecue baked beans! They are so delicious! The brisket was very tender and juicy, too. What a great memory! read more

Service is awful and the hostess is more focused on whether or not you have a reservation. Sat out in the porch by ourselves!

We are on a Friday evening and made reservations for 11. They promptly sat us at our reservation time. We did not use the waiting area but it was placed and organized. The hostess was pilot and welcomed everyone warmly. Two waitress were assigned to help keep things moving. The wait staff made great suggestions for our dinner selections. Good came in about 15-20 minutes. The kids food came out first which is a must for families. Each kid had crayons and a activity set to keep them busy until the food arrived. I was surprised that table was not served bread. Food was great. I definitely will be going back. It was family friendly, good for groups and dates. Great outside seating was available too. Great place to take in a beautiful KC evening. read more

My wife and I split the sampler. It had plenty of food for the both of us, everything was good, the standout items to me were the wings and the side of baked beans. I'm used to a southern style bbq, but this did not disappoint. I'd order everything from the sampler on its own, except maybe the brisket (but I'm not a brisket guy in general). Ribs were solid. Pulled pork solid. Wings were next level. Cannot say enough positive about the beans... really really good read more

Feels overrated based on Yelp stars. Just ok BBQ in a city known for it. Overly corporate feel. Everything is presented nicely so if that's what you care most about this place is fine. The food lacks any pop to it though. Only highlight was the jalapeño corn bread. Brisket, pulled pork, and cole slaw were average at best. I recommend going to Slaps instead if in KC area. read more

Placed a to go order at 1:00 to be picked up at 5:30. Arrived at 5:30 with of course the food not being ready. No big deal expected to wait five minutes or so. Instead a I've been here for 30 minutes and after complaining about where is my food the manager finally told me they had an issue with the computer system And the food was never made. Still waiting on my card to get my refund because I don't have time to wait. I understand things happen but do good customer service and let people know instead of just making them wait. Horrible service read more

Great BBQ! Everything on the menu is delicious. Highly recommend it. The one in LS has a very nice outdoor waiting area

Being born and raised from Kansas City, I absolutely love barbecue! Jack Stack is awesome for barbecue.

While the environment and service were nice, the food simply wasn't too good. We ordered a family meal. We were not impressed with the bbq. Practically all the meat taste like it was boiled prior to grilling. All of the meat except the pork burnt ends lacked seasoning. We got The baked beans, potato salad and cheese corn. Baked beans & potato salad were cool. The cheese corn was different but not bad. Although the food was just ok, our drinks were amazing. I don't ever have to eat here again. Next visit to KC, I'll try another bbq restaurant. read more

Being a KC native, I love BBQ. I mean how can you not? I usually go to the Plaza or Metcalf locations but since we live closer to this one, we decided to go here. We reserved a table because Saturday night, we knew the wait would be long. We got there a little before our reservation time and still had to wait about 25 minutes. No worries. Our wait staff was very nice and attentive. The three stars I gave was for the food. I ordered the burnt ends and the chicken (KC combo) and hubs had the chicken. The chicken was fatty. I don't think I've ever had fatty chicken. Very chewy. They chicken was grilled fine but it wasn't the crispy skin and non fat I was used to. Hubs chicken wasn't fresh and was barely warm. Mine was hot-ish. My burnt ends were good. I was very disappointed in the chicken and so was hubs. My beans were great and the fries are fries. I really just wished the chicken wasn't fatty. Hubs also had the carrot cake which was tasty. I didn't realize how hot it would be and burned my tongue but that was clearly my fault. Maybe it was off night for chicken. read more
