My first visit to Lee's Summit, and wow... what a restaurant! If you like barbecue and you don't…read morepay these folks a visit, you are doing yourself a huge disservice. 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!

Overall great BBQ place. We split the Round Up which comes with pulled pork, turkey, brisket, and…read morespare ribs. Ribs and pulled pork were great. 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.

We live in Lee's Summit and have never been here…read more Our niece was visiting town and said she wanted some barbecue, so since they have a toddler, we looked up something close to their Airbnb on Yelp and found The Filling Station. Like another iconic joint in the metro, this one is a former gas station. The brisket at that place is a little bit better. However, everything else that I tried here is spectacular. The sliced brisket was just a little dry. It wasn't bad. The sausage was amazing. It is housemade with green onions and incredible. I generally don't care for sausages that are different, but this one is exceptional and everyone at the table tried it and loved it. The pulled pork was fresh, which is super important and delicious! Wonderful smoky flavor and super tender. They know exactly what they're doing with pork. I'm gonna say that the beans here are the best in the metro. I'm very particular and I don't like beans that are too sweet like Slaps. Those gag me. The Filling Station beans are absolute perfection. Other reviews say the same. The creamy coleslaw was wonderful! My wife put it on her pulled pork sandwich and I had a little bit for dessert because it's sweet. The homemade potato salad was also the best I've had in a long time. We can't wait to return!

This time, my son and I split a smoked BBQ burger with a side of mac and cheese. I liked that they split it for us before bringing it out. We subbed the fries for mac and cheese since we had already ordered the loaded BBQ fries appetizer, which we really liked. I do wish the fries had been fried a little harder before being loaded, but overall it was a good choice and plenty to share. A new holiday tradition in the making... we'll be back next season.

I'm not sure what to say after reading all the reviews on here... I'm left wondering... were we in…read morea parallel universe or something‽‽‽ We stopped in after an appointment I'd had on a Monday in Lees Summit. We decided to have a quick early dinner here in town, and did a Yelp search for "great places to eat near me". This place was high in the list. We read the reviews and found ourselves driving around a building that had ZERO markings for the Burn Theory Fire Kitchen on it, but our Maps app said we were here. Turned out, the food for Burn Theory Fire Kitchen was cooked in a food truck in a parking lot and served inside the Diametric Brewing Company which is located at the address listed for Burn Theory Fire Kitchen. I will say, my husband ordered a special beer called "Cherry Street Wheat" and it was very unusual, and seriously tasty!!! I'm not a beer fan, but would drink one of these any day! So, getting back to the food... we'd both ordered a trio of street tacos that we did a mix and match of with their various proteins. We ordered this way to share with each other. We also love to discover new and unusual bites. After reading the reviews and their menu, we were excited for the promise of something uniquely delicious... and were completely disappointed!!! All but one (excluding the shrimp) of the six different tacos we'd ordered, bordered on the inedible side. The proteins were seemingly overcooked, folded into little leathery tortilla shells, and served to our table cold, dry and tough. They tasted as if they had been reheated from the weekends leftovers. Maybe we came on the wrong day. Perhaps if we'd visited on a weekend, or on the same day they were actually cooking the meats initially, we'd had a better experience. I don't know, and frankly do not plan to find out. Additionally, to be fair, their condiments (ie: the Ketchup and BBQ sauce) seemed to be made fresh and made from scratch. They were sadly the best part of our meal. Honorable mention to the Diametric Brewing Company which served us one of the most delicious and unique beers we've ever tasted!

They bring it straight to you when it's done. The guy who brought ours was super nice. He asked if we needed any utensils or sauce. I was just having a beer and then was taking my grub to go so he brought me a bag to carry everything easily. I ordered the Burn Theory Cubano: House smoked ham and pulled pork, melted Swiss cheese, pickles and house made mustard on toasted brioche. This sandwich was huge! It's very shareable if you're ordering sides. The meat was super smoky and I loved the flavor. It's definitely a top 5 Cuban in KC. We ordered several sides: seasoned fries, smoked Mac and cheese, and a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was good sized and easily shareable as a starter. I liked the house made dressing. If you wanted to have this as an entree, you have the option to add brisket, chicken, or shrimp. I will definitely consider it in the future. The seasoned fries were pretty standard. My boyfriend liked the seasoning and that they didn't put too much on them. My 3 doggos also enjoyed a few. The smoked Mac and cheese was probably my favorite side and I'll have a hard time getting a different one in the future. The Smokey flavor was perfect and not overwhelming. The pasta wasn't overcooked and the sauce was creamy. I end up at Strange Days pretty often and I feel like this is a perfect addition to the area. I'll definitely be ordering from them in the future while I enjoy a beer.

While looking over the menu, we were given a sample of the baked beans, and that completely changed my mind about what I was ordering. I don't remember the exact name of the burger, but it came topped with those baked beans. At first, I had looked at it on the menu and thought, not for me, but after tasting the beans and chatting with the cook about the burger, I was convinced to give it a try. I'm so glad I did because it was absolutely delicious! The burger and fries came out fresh and hot, and everything was seasoned perfectly. I honestly don't know what took me so long to stop in after driving past this place so many times, but I'll definitely be back again.

Quiet open arrival, but as it quickly gained patrons, it was difficult with hearing aids to carry on a conversation. Old building, high ceilings - - LOTS of conversations.

Eric - - our server, was very kind, patient and helped explain several of the questions we had regarding the menu. We APPRECIATED his attention to our large water carafe, filling it frequently. THANKS ERIC (with a C!!) Our food was nicely plated, temperature perfect and portions were VERY generous. The Classic Breakfast was my choice. Eggs cooked as directed, breakfast potatoes, one smallish, breakfast sausage in natural casing. A steak knife would have been helpful. I don't know the brand of bacon they serve, but it was FABULOUS! Thick sliced, prepared beautifully and mmmm, mmmm GOOD! The plate includes a Cheddar Biscuit. It is BIG and delicious LOOKING! I had to bring it, half of my potatoes and the sausage "to go". My husband ordered the Sausage, Egg & Cheese Biscuit. He was not a fan of the less than tasty sausage. #DIL ordered a Chicken Biscuit - - she shared a bite of the chicken. Let's just say, I KNOW what I will be ordering NEXT time we go. Our grandson ordered his favorite Biscuits & Gravy. HUGE portions, suitable for a growing young man. We will be back! P.S.
