"Highest-rated barbecue in the country!" - Zagat Survey

Jack Stack Barbecue originated in Kansas City in 1957, by Russ Fiorella in a traditional storefront barbecue, with a modest selection of 5 or 6 items. Jack Fiorella, the eldest son, worked with his father until 1974 when he decided to branch off and start Fiorella"s Jack Stack of Martin City.

    My guest was in KC for the first time, and I had hyped the burnt ends. Burnt ends were disappointing. A lot of fat.

    We had reservations for an hour later than when we showed up. But the hostess got us in an hour early. The food was delicious!! I got the blackberry salmon with asparagus. My boyfriend had the two meat combo with fries. Services was great!! We even got the carrot cake for dessert!! Yum!!! I definitely recommend making reservations at Jack Stack Barbecue least a month out as they do book up fast!!

    It was my first time dining at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. From the location to the service and the delicious food- superb experience! I would come back and dine there again! I was travelling to Kansas City to be with family and friends so, I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant again.

    Great service! Loved the fried mushroom appetizer and the baby back ribs and beef ends. The pulled pork was fatty and tough this time.
