I mean, Jack Stack to me is some of the best bbq in town. I've eating inside the restaurant and always was seated right away with fantastic service and food. I've also picked up my orders to enjoy from home, still absolutely fantastic bbq. Le bf always, always gets the smoked turkey sandwich and I typically resort to the meat plates woth burnt ends, sausage and brisket. We also enjoy a side of their honey bbq ribs, cheesy potatoes, fries, etc and every single time, the food is just absolutely amazing. I love the sweetness from the honey bbq ribs sauce, I dip all my meats in it! Never dry, always moist with a delicious smokey flavor. Always impressed! read more

Another solid visit to Jack Stack. The onion rings are outstanding as always -- one of the few places where the onion actually stays inside the ring instead of sliding out the second you bite in. The sausage was good, and I got both burnt ends -- pork and beef -- the pork being the fattier, richer of the two, both excellent in their own way. The coleslaw leaned more vinegar-based than creamy, which worked fine. Fries were excellent and crispy. The mac and cheese was nice, a very solid and rich side. The shrimp was yummy, and the brisket delivered as always. Finished with the carrot cake, served warm, which was a really nice touch. Service was outstanding. Only knock is the atmosphere -- it was loud, with music playing on top of the noise, and the seating felt really crammed in, which made the space feel a bit tight and uncomfortable. read more

The Overland Park location is centrally located, with plenty of parking throughout the shopping area. The atmosphere inside is both intimate and spacious. The kitchen sits behind glass windows, allowing you to see the magic behind the scenes. The Taste of Kansas City platter is more than enough to feed three people. We ordered spare ribs, brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends, and Fiery Wings (they were out of bone-in chicken). The Fiery Wings had great flavor but were served a little cold. The baked potato was generously sized and wasn't overloaded with sour cream. The spinach salad was refreshing and fresh. The vinaigrette had excellent flavor and contrasted beautifully with the smoked bacon on top. The Cheesy Corn was underwhelming. The texture was very runny, and it lacked flavor. The Hickory Pit Beans are slow-cooked and loaded with chunks of hickory-smoked brisket, pork, and sausage... THESE ARE GREAT! They're a bit on the sweet side, but they're absolutely worth ordering. Our waitress was fantastic! Despite the restaurant being packed with all the FIFA World Cup excitement, she checked on us frequently and kept our drinks full throughout the meal read more

Ordered takeout. Ribs, Burnt Ends, Brisket, Cornbread, Baked Beans, and Coleslaw. With the exception of the brisket, everything was amazing. Outstanding sides, I remember these baked beans from my youth. Cornbread was phenomenal, and the coleslaw was excellent. Burnt Ends looked different from what I was expecting, but it tasted great - excellent seasoning and done right. The ribs were perfect. I will definitely be going again. read more

We are traveling during the World Cup, so be aware that there is a 20% automatic gratuity. My husband makes friends everywhere and a family at the airport recommended this place.

This was my first Kansas City BBQ experience. The ambiance was lively, service was friendly, and portions were generous. We started with the jalapeño cornbread and it was a satisfying app to begin the meal. Our group was excited to try the Taste of Kansas City but unfortunately they had run out of ribs and weren't able to offer any substitutions. We ended up ordering two Roundups and added wings as well. The sides were solid - especially the corn cake and hickory pit beans. The meats were generous in portion, though a bit on the drier side, and the BBQ sauce definitely helped. We finished with the brownie to top it all off. Tasty and definitely for sharing! read more

Jack Stack Barbecue has delicious food! My boyfriend and I enjoyed it after a Kansas City Chiefs game last weekend. We ordered the cheese dip with chorizo sausage and poblano peppers that was very creamy and mildly spicy. We each had a cranberry vodka to drink. For dinner, he ordered beef ribs with baked beans. I ordered a baked potato stuffed with burnt ends bbq, sour cream, butter and cheese. Very tasty for both entrees! Plenty to share. We took home a piece of carrot cake that was baked in a round mold and had delicious cream cheese frosting. We shall definitely come here again! read more

Their burtn ends are fantastic. I have noticed instructions haven't been closely followed. They've been sauced instead of served dry as ordered. Also, don't know if notbincluding plasticwarebus a new change. And by far the worst is receiving chucks of raw meat. None of the fat has been rendered,no char on meat. it's the 2-3rd time receiving orders this way. I'll give them another try, because they are by far the best when done right.cwould also like to be able to ask for the sauce I want on the side, the honey BBQ, the standard go to sauce gets boring after awhile. But their worth another go, hope it's improved read more

The most moist and tender ribs I've ever had. Beans great. Cold slaw had a home touch. Carrot cake delicious. Servers very attentive

First time trying what many consider to be one of the big dogs of KC BBQ, and thought it was really good but not great - though that might be partially due to it being takeout instead of dine in. If you don't know already, Jack Stack's BBQ beans are extremely good - by far their best side dish. The beef burnt ends are thick and lean, which makes them a little more dry, but I prefer it that way over fatty. The beef brisket was a little dry, but the smoked turkey was very good. Quick service and reasonable price for the portion sizes. I'd come back for sure. read more

We were a party of 14 on a business trip and this place scratched that itch for meat, meat and more meat. We ordered one of each of the shareables just to try a little of everything. Then it was off to the races with everyone else and we mainly focused on the prime beef rib. Almost everyone got that. OMG, talk about blown away with what came out. Delicious is an understatement. We had the luxury of being taken care of by two amazing staff members. They were bringing drinks so fast we couldn't drink it fast enough. Swapping plates like it was magic. The place is a carnivore Christmas morning. We shared all the sides family style too because we wanted to try a little of something. It was very hot outside but was cool and comfortable inside. We had a very good time and will be coming back next time our team meets in Overland Park again. We wouldn't do it justice if we only spoke about one or two items on the menu. We were able to try it all. Also the adult beverages from the bar were amazing. Thank you for an amazing time. read more

I have eaten at this Jack Stack location many times and my August 2026 experience was one of the best ever! We had a meal for two with brisket, turkey and sausage, plus several delicious sides. Don't miss the cheesy potato bake! read more

This is some of the best bbq I've had in YEARS and yes I'm very familiar with all the bbq holy grails Lockhart TX and NC and Alabama and bla blah. THIS IS MUCH BETTER. Excellent pulled pork and ribs.

Just passing through town, we were lucky to catch them 30 minutes before closing. It was a busy night, I was dreaming of burnt ends but they were out by the late hour we arrived. Even so we enjoyed back ribs, chicken, beans, cheesy corn, and fries, all were excellent. High marks for menu, service, ambiance, parking and all the other things we tend to take for granted. I moved from KC over 30 years ago but am always happy to be able to get back for Jack Stack bbq... (it was late, phone battery was dead, sorry no pics...) read more

Okay so I'm going down a star but not for the food, this is purely a quip about ambiance for dining in. I'll start off to say that I love Jack Stack and this location is super close our house and convenient for us so we use them for carry out often. Their carry out/ drive thru area runs perfectly like a well oiled machine and I can't emphasize how wonderful this is. Seriously, order from them - you won't regret it. Now, for the dine-in experience. I hadn't actually eaten here in YEARS like maybe over a decade, but I had been to the freight house location and figured it would feel like that - sadly it really doesn't hit the mark. Jack Stack is known in KC for being an elegant, fine dining bbq experience, so that's what I was hoping for when we made a reservation for some out of town guests and ourselves the night before my husband's 40th birthday party. While it was a nice dinner overall, the space inside felt dated, and old fashioned. It did not feel elegant, and it honestly made me feel if anything a bit embarrassed to bring my friends here after hyping it up. The food was excellent as was the company and the service so it wasn't a bad time, just knowing how other locations are it made me feel like this one is way overdue for an upgrade. Knowing this now we will stick to carry out and if we dine-in likely trek to the crossroads. I just hope this changes as I'd love to find an excuse to dine in here more often and see it really thrive in that area. read more

Jack Stack in Overland is hands down a BBQ experience you don't want to miss. Whewwww, let me tell you--the food was GOODT! From the first bite to the last, everything came out cooked to perfection and full of flavor. I went big with the Kansas City Combo (pick 3) and chose the beef brisket, beef burnt ends, and bone-in chicken. Every bite was tender, smoky, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious--some of the best BBQ I've ever had. My sister also did the pick 3, but with beef ribs, brisket, and bone-in chicken, and she couldn't stop raving either. We both added fries on the side, and they were spot on--crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned. My daughter went for the smoky wings with roasted Brussels sprouts and baked beans. The wings were juicy and smoky, the sprouts roasted to perfection, and those baked beans? Rich, hearty, and bursting with flavor--exactly what you want alongside BBQ. For drinks, my daughter ordered the KC Lemonade (refreshing and full of kick), and my sister enjoyed a mimosa that paired perfectly with her meal. Everything was top notch--no struggling with tough cuts, no bland spots, just pure BBQ greatness. Portions were generous too, especially considering how fair the prices are for the quality. And then... dessert. Babyyyyy, the warm brownie and the carrot cake were everything. Rich, decadent, and the perfect sweet ending to a meal already packed with flavor. The atmosphere sealed the deal. The ambiance fits the food perfectly--warm, lively, and full of that Kansas City BBQ soul. Our servers, Alex and Indica, were fantastic--attentive, friendly, and quick to make sure we had exactly what we needed. This was a 10/10 experience all around. Jack Stack has earned a permanent spot on my KC must-visit list. Next time, I'm bringing more people so we can taste even more of the menu! read more

Went to Jack Stack for dinner. Nicely lit intimate dinner. Service was awesome. Very attentive. Decent drink selection, but would like more beer options. The baby back ribs were incredible. However, I didn't think brisket or burnt ends stood up to the Texas versions I'm used to. Overall great experience in a convenient location. read more

This is an essential BBQ restaurant in the area. And by essential, I mean if you like BBQ, and you are in the area, then it is essential that you stop here. It is a solid entry in the KC BBQ landscape (jack stack is overall in the top 5), with an upscale cloth napkin feel. Sure, you might get a little full on the stack of thick onion rings, or giant fried mushrooms. But you will find space for their delicious BBQ meats! Two types of sauce (regular or spicy) are available in little ramekins at the table, and plenty more on request. I prefer the spicy, myself. The service is attentive and friendly. You will get good service whether you are there on a date or meeting your entire family at a long table in the side room. read more

Gotta be honest, I was a little underwhelmed with the meats at Jack Stack compared to others around we've tried. The ribs did not lack in tenderness, but they did lack in flavor without the sauce. And I'm a guy that thinks meat should be able to stand on its own. The burnt ends were quite chewy, though the flavor was good. I will tip my hat to their bbq beans, though. Those are some ridiculous beans. read more

Jack Stack is one of the top bbq spots in KC. They are consistent in their food and service. On my last visit, I ordered online. It's easy and quick. When you arrive, you can pull into a designated spot, use the text they send to let them know you've arrived and what spot you're in and they'll bring it right out. I pretty much order the exact same thing every time I go. The fried mushrooms are a must. They're big and served with a horseradish sauce. They have different size options-3,6, or 9. I almost always order the jumbo sandwich with brisket and sausage. It's about a half pound of meat and it comes with a side. This ends up being about two meals for me. The brisket is good, not the best in KC but it's still up there. The sausage is sliced thin, which I like because it makes it easier to eat. You can get whatever meat you'd like and they do have other options. The side is a large one of your choice but I like to sub it out for two smaller sides. I'm super picky about bbq beans and theirs are my fa favorite so I have to get those. I'm also a fan of the cheesy corn so that's a must too. They have multiple locations and the interior is always nice and clean with great service. read more

I was the guest of honor at a dinner there on a Wednesday after 6pm. The restaurant was full and busy. I recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait to be seated. We had a reservation. The wait staff and hosts and hostesses are phenomenal and professional. The food was soooooo good. I'm a big bbq fan so it was up my alley. We ordered for appetizers onion rings and fried mushrooms and the wings. All were delicious and fresh and hot. I am not going to lie, I got full eating one fried mushroom, one wing drummette and two onion rings. There was also bbq sauce and a horseradish dip. For my entree I got the lamb ribs cheesy corn and the baked beans. I was full I had to take a doggy bag. The lamb ribs are meaty and not super fatty or greasy to me. I never had cheese corn before but it was good. The baked beans were delicious. Of course I ate like two meals out of my doggy bag (leftovers). Whenever in Kansas City get on over to Jack Stack if you enjoy bbq. read more

I recommend this place if you want a little nicer of a BBQ restaurant. read more

I love family style so when I saw family style barbecue I was SOLD. Great place for sharing with good portions without compromising quality. The Brisket and Burnet Ends are so good it's enough for me to give them 5 stars. I wasn't super impressed with their chicken wings or pork ribs but put some of their barbecue sauce on top and you're golden. They always run out of the cheesy potato bake so definitely go early and try to get an order for your side if you think the standard scalloped potato dish could use more cheese haha read more

My brother and I ordered burnt end sandwiches with an o ring for decoration. Also ordered beans, they small dishes looked like yesterday's warmed over leftovers. The burnt ends were ground up mush, supposedly to hide the fat (didn't work). Been there many times and had many enjoyable meals. I've lost some trust, but will return next time with full understanding of what will show up after ordering. read more
