The…read moresausage was a bit of a let down, the skin had a snap to it but was ultimately too hard to chew through. All 4 BBQ sauces are distinguished and flavorful. For the sides the coleslaw was very refreshing and crunchy, the baked beans had so much flavor depth and the potato salad had the perfect amount of texture. The only thing left to be desired was the jalapeño cornbread it was a bit lackluster and didn't taste much of any jalapeño, the honey butter could've used more honey and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Over all I would give it 8.5/10. Side note: service was wonderful, everyone was very friendly and accommodating

Side: garden salad with blue cheese dressing.. I don't know whose dressing they serve because I doubt it's house made but it's THE best blue cheese with crumbles I've had!

I have to say the brisket and cheese is always overflowing the medium sized potato! It's generous portions like I said!! I'd add pics but apparently reached my limit from other reviews!

The Mac and cheese was worth the trip. I'm wish I asked what was sprinkled on top and bought some. I'm normally a pulled pork person but my husband and I were sharing as neither of us was too hungry after a late breakfast, but we knew this needed to be tried while we were in the area. We got "The Z Man" which was brisket, with cheese and onion rings on it. It was delicious. The ladies room was clean...it did smell like they were smoking the meats right there, lmao. We will be back next time we're in the area!

We were on a tight drive from Ft. Scott to MCI and had one mission: find true Kansas City-style BBQ…read more-- smoky, not swimming in sauce. Slap's delivered. 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.

The outdoor seating looks nice, and the staff were friendly, but I would not come back.

I had high hopes that I would be leaving a 5 star review based on what I've heard and seen…read more Unfortunately, this has been my worst BBQ experience in over 40 years of trying KC BBQ as a native. I almost rated this a 1 star. When I arrived, the place was nice and the young man handling front of house was amazing. I ordered a 3 meat plate to go as I had to be home for an appointment. I rushed inside, mouth watering, opened my box. Turkey looked good, pork belly looked good, the brisket... Straight TRASH. It wasn't even sliced. It looked like they scooped up the stringy bits left over from slicing and called it good. Needless to say I was pissed. The turkey was a hair dry, but flavorful. The pork belly burnt ends were good too. The brisket, which is king in KC que, ruined the whole,thing for me. The way the brisket was served, and it was dry of course, made me feel like they just thought "he's getting it to go, so who cares what he gets." Now as many of you who follow me know, I usually give a place a second chance and hope the experience is better the next time. Not this time. I was deeply insulted at what I got for my money. I may as well have gotten a Banquet TV dinner. Everything else seemed on point, but the star of the show was trash, it ruined the whole thing. So no, I will not be going back and this will NOT be on my list of reccomemds I often mention to people who travel to Kansa City. I truly wasted my money. Avoid this joint. There are MUCH better in the city.

I know they had some unplanned renovations. I had been wanting to get out there in support since hearing that. The portions here are always big. It's great if you come with someone that you can agree with on an item from the menu. If not, you'll probably be taking some home. I ordered the turkey sandwich and onion rings on this visit. I always enjoy their beef brisket sandwiches too. The folks working were helpful in guiding me through the line to order.

While KC is known for their tomato based sauce AB's is known for their pork ribs and molasses based sauce. While Oak is popular in Texas, Hickory is the main wood used here to pair that sweetness with the molasses with a little oak to finish. As one of the most popular/famous BBQ joints in the area and maybe the country the line can be long at times, but generally not time consuming of a wait. Like alot of the big boys they have a great system of cooking and serving. Service is somewhere between big ticket and owner operated. Decor is still gas station with a smoke house, but they have some massive roittiserrie smokers using blast cyclinder design for efficiency. Their ribs are meaty, nice sweet bark, spicy sweet sauce, mellow oqk flavor. The open faced burnt ends are less candy and more charred nuggets, juicy, less unctuous as they grill it to finish. I found their turkey a little dry, could use a longer brine or even better twined to keep tight as the fibers tore too much on cutting making it shredded/shaved rather than sliced. Great sausage, thought I'd have liked some creativity as the smoke doesn't really accentuate it as much as it could if they had other flavors. I still prefer the Texas style brisket as the bark is more pronounced. They even have chicken tenders for the kids which are deep fried, a little overseasoned for kids (yes I had to try it). Baked beans were sweet, thick, rich on the molasses and smoke, but at this point its a bean jam and a little rich. Dirty rice which i thought was a southern thing was fluffy, aromatic, umami, a true side dish. Potato salad was a little dry, potatos were sized all over the place so some were overcooked and some closer to raw. Go casserole next time or get the cheesey corn, but you can't do both, it's too much. The onion rings were crunchy and sweet and went with their sauce amazing. The fries aren't an afterthought and complimentary to their other non brisket/ribs items. Prices are avctually below average, service is quite good, but to me being an OG it really has changed under the new management. I'm not sure i'll need to come here again as this was my 2nd trip here and i'm not sure it's a must eat place anymore. After all the BBQ tours I've done I really do prefer Texas and SC styles and have found other KCBBQ spots that give a better representation of KCBBQ.

Additionally, ice machine was broken and the soda was hot! Bathrooms old and dirty.

Every single thing we…read moretried was outstanding, but the Prime Beef Rib was on another level -- tender, smoky, flavorful and absolutely massive. Easily one of the best barbecue dishes we've ever had. The barbecued shrimp were another surprise favorite. Perfectly seasoned with a rich, buttery sauce that had everyone at the table reaching for more. And the carrot cake? Incredible. Moist, rich, and the perfect way to end the meal. We had also never tried burnt ends before, and now we completely understand the hype. They were smoky, caramelized little bites of heaven and honestly to die for. What made the experience even better was our waitress, Serenity. She was absolutely magnificent -- attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. Great service can elevate a meal, and she truly did. Between the amazing food, warm atmosphere, and exceptional service, Jack Stack absolutely lived up to Kansas City's legendary barbecue reputation. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

We waited 15 min. I had to ask another server to ask him to return. It took a long time to order lunch. The food arrived in a reasonable time. It was good. I don't have a photo of it. Around that time, the volume of the music was turned up. We had to strain to hear each other. It was unpleasant. We waited and waited to order dessert. Again, I had to ask another server to get our waiter. The crème brûlée was good. Waited yet again a long time for the check. A waitress brought it, but the waiter had my cc. Finally got my card and the check. It seemed like such a nice place, but I won't return with service like that. The manager sent a thoughtful reply, and I will contact them. I'd like to add the food was very good.

It's was big and came with fries and a pickle spear. The flavor was good and the portions was a little too much for me but I powered through and conquered that beast. The menu has some really good choices I would recommend trying a couple items to get a better feel of the overall menu choices. Staff: It was late maybe an 1hr before closing time and about 20 of is walked in together. Yup! We were totally those people. Sorry guys, but the staff welcomed it and seated us immediately by placing tables together it was great. Orders were placed and everyone got what they ordered so cheers to the staff on that one. The staff was talkative and thanked us on our way out for stopping by to eat. Great team at this establishment. Atmosphere: It was quiet and I think we were tue only ones in the restaurant but again it was late and last minute. The space definitely looks like sporting events and other televised events could be a really great place to hang out. I don't really know so it may be worth checking it out for yourself. Price: My BBQ pulled Pork Sandwich was about $17 and in my opinion that's really good especially considering the portion size of the sandwich and sides. Location: It's located in Kansas City Mousori in the gas light district.
