"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.

    They were out of pork bunt ends(!) , so I ordered pork spare ribs, which were delicious. My husband ordered honey chipotle chicken, which was a hit, snd son ordered Smokin’ Russ, which is his “new fave.”

    The service and food was excellent. The area that we were seated at was VERY LOUD! Literally hard to carry on a conversation because it was so loud. If we come back again, we would ask to be seated somewhere else.

    We always have an excellent meal at Jack Stack. We’ve never been disappointed once. Our server was amazing and so attentive. I’m Addicted to the salmon here. It is Smoky and flavorful and so moist. I had it on the salmon salad tonight rather than an entree. Love Jack Stack!!

    Pork ribs and burnt ends were tender and juicy. Sides were all delicious! Service was very speedy.
