Came here for lunch base off the good experience I had at their other location. It was pretty crowded for dine in around 12:30pm, although we did have to wait but it wasn't for long. (Less than 10 mins) I ordered the KC combo 3 meats, bone in dark meat chicken, lamb ribs and beef burnt ends with cheese potatoes. I felt the meat could've been seasoned better, the cheese melt potatoes were excellent! I'll definitely be ordering those again as well as the KC combo exactly how I had it. Definitely recommend dining here. read more

There are so many fine choices in our city for BBQ. Still Jack Stack the best BBQ in KC! (IMHO)

I know everything is going up but one thing I dislike about jack stack in the small amount of food you get for the price.

*** five stars are for suckers *** I hear you. Five stars isn't a rating I hand out because life is good. My five stars are always earned. Firstly - my first ever KC BBQ, I went with the burnt beef ends. It's supposed to be the signature dish. WHY?!! Why does it taste so amazing?! It should taste terrible; burnt over cooked beef?!!! Nope!! It's melty in the mouth smoked bovine treat of juicy chomping silence. How to quiet a cranky toddler?! Mac N Cheese! Cookie Monster be dam''d vs my tot honed in on the noodles covered in sauce. McKaylah was a doll. Will make a trip just to see this team in action again. Bravo! Cheers to the talent in the kitchen - call your gram, tell her to be proud! read more

I came by for dinner on the last day of a long work trip to pickup dinner. It was only a half hour from close, and chose to order in the restaurant due to having trouble deciding on what I wanted. I was helped by Stacy at the carry out counter and was absolutely blown away by the level of service I received. She took time while answering my extensive questions, provided insightful recommendations, and even gave me some samples to be sure I enjoyed my meal. I enjoyed the sauce samples enough I picked up two bottles to bring home! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food was great, space is very nice, but the staff will have me coming back if I'm ever back in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks Stacy!!!! 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

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

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

Went here yesterday for dinner. Originally was going to give this restaurant 3 stars. Waited forever for our food and then when food arrived, mine was cold but wife's food was warm. They remade my food and it was nice and hot. The food was excellent. Our server was great, do not remember her name....when she found out our food was cold she brought the manager over who had kitchen remake my food and profusely apologized. However, when we got the bill, a nice surprise, the comped ALL our food and we were only charged for a drink. We did not ask for it to be comped, but very nice that they did. I really did like the food once I got a not cold version, I really liked the beans. If we were in the area again, we would return here. read more

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

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!

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

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

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

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

This place had amazing staff and food. Were from Wa. State out on leisure time, wanted to try real Kansas city BBQ, not disappointed in anyway.

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

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

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

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. Shrimp had a good flavor but were very over cooked making them hard and dry. My wife did not finish them. Overall the meal and service was very good. We eat here often and seldom are disappointed. 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

Not Bad...Not Bad. Especially for BBQ thats not Texas. All fairness though, this is a great restaurant. The service was great and everyone enjoyed their meals.

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

The best ribs and scalloped potatoes I've ever had! I'll definitely be back soon! I was visiting from California.

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! Some fries appeared to be smooshed when cook placed them on the plate. Many pieces and ends of fries. For the price I EXPECTED BETTER! Enjoyed listening to the house finch singing as I ate. read more

food was good but not great -- service was excellent -- [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance was nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] -- 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

My husband and I ordered $61 Worth of food. His meal was perfect; however, mine was horrible.

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

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
