"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.

    We had a great experience until I got home and realized we did not get all of the food in our to go boxes. The server decided to not include everything on our plate without asking. I'm still trying to figure out why. This happened to tell of us that asked for our left lovers to be boxed up.

    So, we eat here all the time and always on for my husband's birthday. Tonight was his 65th Birthday celebration. This was the absolute worst meal we've ever had here. From the mushroom appetizers to the main course. The mushrooms were done on the outside but still cold and raw inside. They brought out a new batch and those were only a little better. Then we got the cue for 2 baby back ribs. Again something we always order. We alternate between that and the burnt end combo or Mayor of Martin City sandwich. The ribs were not done and were tough and chewy. We didn't get our slaw until quite awhile after we told our waiter it was missing. Then instead of the ribs they brought out the burnt end combo with some sausage. Burnt ends were dry and tough and so was the sausage. They only ended up charging us for half price combo but it was still awful. We eat here so much and we even took Jack Stack to NC with us for our son's wedding. So I know this is a one off ( or at least I hope so). But still it was a very disappointing experience for us and on such a special occasion too.

    Our server Sloan and food were amazing. We’ve been coming to Jack Stacks for decades and it was some of the best service and food we’ve experienced. We did however have an issue with the manager before we got our table. She was very rude and condescending to not only a member of my party but to her staff in front of them as well. It’s very disappointing as we have been to this location and many other Jack Stacks around town and have never had this issue.

    Service was excellent and enjoyed our table. You were out of chicken so ordered brisket and ham. Tasted ok but not what I’m accustomed to.

    Jack Stack never misses on service on experience on attentiveness. They really set the bar extremely high for other restaurants that try to compare.
