"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.

To stand out in the competitive KC barbecue scene of the mid 1970's, Jack and Delores, began cooking with Gourmet Hickory Wood and created the most extensive barbecue menu in the country. The menu included Certified Angus Beef steaks, tender chicken, award-winning lamb ribs, and mouth-watering sides like Hickory Pit Beans and Cheesy Corn Bake.

    The pork rib choice on the combo plate were delicious, very tender and fell off the bone. The fried mushrooms as an appetizer is a great choice as they are very big. The smoked salmon salad offered a nice salmon portion that had great taste. Our server Scott, did a great job on tending to our dining experience.

    This is my third time going here. The food is absolutely outstanding. I had the hickory smoked chicken chili along with a McCoy sammie. Delicious.

    The service was excellent. Sadly, the food quality has dropped greatly at this location . The smoked wings appetizer was completely overcooked and dried out. The barbecue shrimp were way over seasoned and extremely saltier than usual. Burnt ends were very fatty and portion size was minimal. Though a faithful patron of this restaurant chain for decades, quality control needs to be increased for what is coming off the line.  I have heard similar comments from friends who have also frequented here, and hope they can pull it together. Hard to recommend at this time.

    Very good service. Great baby back ribs and pulled pork/sausage sandwich. Beans were the best and fries were hot and crisp. Cocktails were excellent. We'll be back, for sure.

    6:45 on a Sunday evening & the first thing the server told us was they were out of Pulled Pork & Pork burnt ends. We had an out-of-town guest, and we always choose Jack Stack to showcase our KC BBQ. It was disappointing that they were out of such a popular item at such an early time, but our guest chose the ribs & beef burnt ends & said they were tasty. My husband & I both had the Turkey sandwich with fries & beans for sides. The sides were as good as always, but the turkey tasted like they had gone down the street to the local grocery deli & bought whatever they had. It was NOT real smoked turkey; it was definitely a sliced processed meat and had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Very disappointed and will choose a different BBQ restaurant in the future. We have had Jack Stack for years, both in the restaurant and catered for multiple events both personal & professional. This was hands down the worst experience and food we have ever had. Server was very good, polite and tried to be efficient, but it appeared she had way too much going on for one person. Either cutting costs or different management, but NOT worth the trip.
