I have eaten at Jack Stack for years at a few different locations. I am never disappointed. The onion rings are top notch. All of the bbq is delicious. I always order extra sauce. Baked beans are the bomb. Fries are good too tho. An all around great experience for dinner or special occasions. They handle large parties well. read more

Food is always great and service is the same! The sides are delicious and the meats are a healthy portion!

probably a 4.5*. I had to wait a long time for my takeout even though they texted me and said it was ready. The brisket, chicken, salad, beans were excellent as was the sauce. The burnt ends were overcooked and dry even with sauce. Coleslaw was good. Broccoli was good but portion very small. Price was reasonable for the amount of food. read more

This place came recommended to me by some KC football fans that I met while in town for the AFC Championship game. When they told me that I had to get some KC BBQ while in town, and I told them that I didn't eat beef or pork, we had some laughs, but they were so helpful in making recommendations for places with other options, and this place was fantastic! I walked in, decked out in my Bengals gear, the day after Cincy beat KC in the AFC Championship game. Everyone was congratulating us on the win, making great menu recommendations, and just being so kind. The food was amazing as well. I can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you for the hospitality and the amazing food! read more

Consistently amazing!! I love it here - the ambiance and the people are amazing. The bbq is spectacular!

Great food with authentic KC bbq. The menu selections are amazing. We have tried most of the sides and dishes, loved them all.

I have no idea what happened. Maybe they were just too busy. Quality was not what it's been. Every time I go it's always the same. Tender ribs. Perfectly seasoned beans. Ribs were undercooked cooked and under-seasoned. Que 39 is the new king in town. read more

I was in the Kansas City area and decided to check for a nearby BBQ. Noted high number of reviews and good rating for Jack Stack so decided to give it a try. I got there at around 5:30pm on Saturday and the parking lot was packed; good sign, but 1.5 hour wait for a table inside. I got the last table outside and was seated right away. Very nice patio. I ordered the 2 meat combo with brisket and ribs with a side of cheesy potatoes. Had to get the jalapeño corn bread also, as it sounded great. I was completely satisfied. The meat was delicious and juicy, potatoes were great and the corn bread was awesome. Nice beer selection and server was very pleasant. Would definitely go back. read more

Having been to Jack stack before, I thought I reviewed this place but apparently not. I a pit master and cook bbq at least 4 days a week. See my Instagram (@ukulelejaybbq) and give me a follow! Lee's Summit Jack Stack has a great location with plenty of parking and lots of seating. There are several locations. I have eaten at dozens of barbecue restaurants in Kansas City and jack stack is definitely toward the top of the list but not number one so keep reading. When you enter Jack Stack the smoky aroma hits your face as you walk in the door in a very good way. This is undeniably woodsmoked barbeque. When you sit down you should definitely order the onion rings starter for the table. These perfectly fried and wide onion rings are amazing. Getting right down to it you come here for the meat and while Kansas City doesn't have a lot of beef ribs on the menu at various locations it is on the menu at Jack Stack. A recent Texas BBQ article said that Kansas City is due for a beef renaissance. I agree! Come here and you'll get your fill of beef with the incredible tender moist and smokey burnt ends along with the incredible crown beef rib which was massive and cooked to perfection. The beef rib is tender, no fat, and pulled off the bone extremely easily but maintained it's form and did't fall off the bone which is a good thing! I was a little disappointed at the brisket here. It wasn't as moist as it could've been and definitely was cut way too thin as slices should be about a pencil width thick. Mine was cut 1/2 that thickness. Overall you can't go wrong eating at Jack Stack. It is definitely one of the better barbeque places in the area. 4 stars (the brisket lowered my rating from 5 to 4 stars) read more

had the Restaurant Week specials of Smoked Prime Rib and BBQ shrimp dinners for $40. Prime rib was very good. Great smoked flavor and very tender.

food was good but not great -- service was excellent -- ambiance was nice -- gave it a 4 star as just not the food quality I had expected, but in fairness never had bbq in Missouri ever in my life -- grew up on NC barbecue and never found anything anywhere as far as bbq to compare with my NC Bbq -- also ate couple other places while in MO and they were amazing so when compared -- 4 star here read more

We went for restaurant week! We went during lunch. Served was very attentive. Refilled water and drinks often. I got jalapeño corn bread and a jumbo sandwich with turkey and pulled pork.

Best Beef Burnt Ends in Kansas City IMO. I been to Jack Stack and have ordered this the past 50+ visits... in fact I cant recall even having anything else. Perhaps someday I will get burned out on Burnt Ends and try something else. The beans are excellent also and the fries are just average but consistently served hot which makes them worth getting. Excellent service in 3 visits here this week. Now I'm back to Arizona which is a BBQ desert as well as a real desert (ha ha ha). Wife had smoke pork salad and rated it as worth getting but would probably order something else next time. read more

We were in KC for the weekend and had been told by several people to try this place out. I had high hopes walking in, and holy cow it did not disappoint. If I had more money I would have tipped our waiter Ben $250 because that's how great he made the experience and worked! The food was the best bbq I've ever had by far. I've tried Texas bbq and every Midwest bbq I think I could. I told my girlfriend this was the best bbq place I've ever been to. But by the end I can 100% say it was the best restaurant experience I've ever had! Thank you jack stack. Looking forward to coming back! read more

In KC, BBQ is a must and this establishment is a popular one. I have probably eaten inside only one time in my life, but I am a HUGE fan of their carryout system. - They have a super easy online ordering - When you pull up there is always workers outside ready to give your order to you promptly - I have never had a issue with my order not being ready at the time on my receipt Now, their actual food items are pretty good. I just prefer less "boujee" bbq .. if you know what I mean(KC people understand). My go to here is the burnt ends or wings! My family insist on having their baked beans every holiday, which is what I pick up often. read more

Service makes a difference! We had a party of 10 at 330 on a Saturday and our server ROCKED it! She took our drink order, brought it out and ordered our food and checked on us TONS. We ordered a few family platter and extra sides & apps! GET THE APPETIZER MAC & CHEESE WITH PULL PORK, you will thank me later! We had plenty of food plus everyone had lunch the next day! Also get the honey bbq sauce! One of the best sides for bbq place! Can't go wrong with any of the sides! The restaurant wasn't too loud and could see the games playing through out the whole restaurant and not just the bar! Also the restroom was very cleaned which is always a plus! read more

I went during happy hour which is why they are getting a 5 star and not a 4. Because the price during happy hour are amazing for the portion sizes I would never pay full price. Overall though I had a great time, we had the most amazing server I've probably ever had, she was so wonderful and i wish I remembered her name to give her more props. The food came out fresh and hot and tasted very nice. Is it the best BBQ you'll have in KC? no. But the best bang for your buck? For sure! read more

My husband and I ordered $61 Worth of food. His meal was perfect; however, mine was horrible. I ordered the two meat meal with pork burnt ends that were very undercooked and the beef rib, upgrade that were overcooked. Ive never had pork burnt ends that were like this Very disappointed in my meal. read more

I'm visiting my friend that is from here near Kansas City and this restaurant has been visited by her family since she was a little girl. Now it's a small chain and still has the best bbq sauce. Myself am not a meat eater but a fish eater. I ordered the blackberry salmon with Cole slaw and it was amazing. We split a short stack of onion rings too and yumminess was again experienced. Served with their bbq sauce that is really good. Thank you for a great lunch. read more

I finally had the pleasure of tasting real Kansas City BBQ and I could not have been more happier it ended up at Jack Stack Barbecue of all the choices out there. Locals consider this one of the best BBQ in Missouri and after eating here I could not agree more. For starters we picked the Onion rings which were lightly battered with Italian breading and came with spicy horseradish dipping and the regular house BBQ sauce. Those Onion rings undoubtedly perhaps were the best I ever tasted, and it didn't take long before they were consumed. For my lunch I choose the Baby Back Ribs and the Pork Burnt Ends with Hickory Pit Beans and Cheesy Corn as my side. The beans were so delicious with a touch of sweet BBQ sauce and pieces of pulled pork and a hint of whiskey to perfect the taste. The Cheesy Corn didn't disappoint either, but I wish I would've chosen something else. The Pork Burnt ends on the other hand were so tender that they would melt in your mouth with this incredible BBQ flavor. The Baby back ribs had a little bit more of a bite to them, but they would fall off the bone with very little effort. The side spicy pickles and pickled onions were also very enjoyable and paired perfectly with the dish. My friend's beef burnt ends were fattier imho but it made them so much more flavorful and tasty. I surprisingly preferred the sweet BBQ sauce over the spicy one. For dessert we picked Mom's carrot cake and OMG this was the best carrot cake ever! The cream cheese frosting was out of this world. The frosting was not too sweet and was just perfectly balanced!! Verdict: 5 Stars for great atmosphere, amazing food and friendly service. This was a dining experience to be remembered for a long time! I cannot wait to come back again soon!!! Enjoy and Bon Appetit. read more

Quickly seated. Chose to sit on the patio. Half pound beef brisket and turkey sandwich with fries. Sandwich was excellent. Fries were warm, not HOT!

Enjoyed listening to the house finch singing as I ate. read more

This location is quite stylish inside. A classy clean look to it. Waiter was attentive but almost phony with how he interacted with us. It was annoying. I had pulled pork and burnt ends and it was very delicious. I was hoping for more options for sides in a KC bbq restaurant. Also, I didn't see extra sauces to add to the meats, which I thought was expected. read more

Amazing food!!! Everything was delicious and fresh. Our party of 3 was quickly seated and we had incredible service. Loved the ambiance of the spot - homey, nice lights, not too loud either. Spotted lots of families having dinner for Father's Day. For $39, we were able to try 4 types of meat and swap for any sides we wanted. The spinach salad was delicious, albeit a bit sweet for my personal liking. LARGE portions - we could've feed a family of 4 with the amount of food we got. This place is awesome! read more

I participated in Local Restaurant Day and ordered from Jack Stacks through Doordash. Sorry for you though, I forgot to get a picture of the beautiful contents. We ordered the Jumbo Jack Sandwich. It's full and I mean full of pulled pork. We split it. We had baked beans as a side. Jack Stacks baked beans never fails. I also ordered jalapeño cornbread which is a requirement. I managed a picture. Lol It was nicely packed in a to go plastic container with the baked beans in their own plastic bowl. There were more than enough for both of us. It was fresh and warm. Doordash was fantastic. I'm a fan and have Dash Pass. My Doordash driver arrived within a half an hour. She social distances herself and was courteous. Kudos for Yelp for participating in Local Restaurant Day using delivery services. read more

First introduction to Kansas City BBQ and it did not disappoint despite this being a chain BBQ restaurant. The beef ribs fell off the bone and had a great flavor to them. Same as the pork ribs and all good meat on them. The brisket had really good flavor but it was cut extremely thin, like deli slices. If you could only choose one BBQ stop during a quick stay, I'd go here for good tasting food and great service n read more

WOW!! I came to Kansas City to visit on my drive to Nevada for a new job... and I was craving some BBQ. My friends brought me here the second I voiced that desire, and I am SO glad they did!! The environment is beautiful to start. We were sat nearly immediately and the customer care was great. Lauren stopped by the table to welcome us, and she was absolutely lovely. I ordered an Arnold Palmer, with the house made Lemonade and Iced tea... the perfect mix and their lemonade was the perfect amount of sweetness. We started with the 9-stack of onion rings, the spicy sauce was delicious! My mouth started watering when I took my first bite, melt in your mouth batter on those rings. SO good! I'm a fiend for great pulled pork, and therefore, I had to get the sammy! Deciding on the sides were the hardest part!! Homemade coleslaw, cheesy corn, and a huge skillet side of jalapeno cornbread with honey butter OMG. Everything was a treat for my taste buds, I can't even explain. I love it. And I had enough leftovers for the next day, too!! Portions are a great size for the price. read more
