“ The lamb ribs are a must have! The turkey is good if you're in to that sort of thing (no shame in admiting it). The brisket was good too, but didn't meet the high standard set by the other meats. Fries were well seasoned and had a good fluffy texture with a crisp outside. If you just want dessert this is a better option than those cookie places. She Jack on my Stack 'till I Kansas City Barbecue. ”
“ Josh!!! Huge shoutout to our waiter Josh! Phenomenal customer service is hard to find these days. You my friend deserve to be celebrated. You are appreciated beyond words can express…. THANK YOU! This establishment was wayyy more than what I was expecting! I was blown away by the decor, ambiance, and also the method of ordering. As a Texan, we are used to standing in a line to order in cafeteria style. This restaurant is actually a table service establishment which made the experience even better! We ordered brisket, ribs, pulled pork, Mac n cheese, beans, baked potato, and smoked salmon dip. All were AMAZING!!! Fresh, flavorful, and muy delicioso!! Can y’all please bring this greatest to Texas??? Pretty Please!!! ”
“ Fiorella’a Jack Stack does it so good! Best BBQ in KC. Seated 7 very quickly. Very polite, friendly, & professional staff. Outside seating was very comfortable & warm. Our server, Kylee is amazing. The pork & beef burnt ends, sausage, ribs, & lamb were all delicious. Finally, the birthday celebration was so wonderful to bring joy for our ELDERLY guest. ”
“ Solid spot in KC with some creative drinks and good BBQ. Everything was priced fairly. The drinks were poured generously and the BBQ had solid flavor. Our server was really nice and got us everything in a timely manner. If in the area I recommend checking out! ”
“ First off, I’m from Texas and know my barbecue, plus I travel all over North America . This place has damn good food! I have never seen a barbecue place with lamb ribs. I had to get those and they did not disappoint. I also got the brisket. A lot of northern places don’t do brisket or do it well. Jack stack does it very well. The side was excellent too, I had the beans and coleslaw. I will for sure be back I a recommend this as a must try if your in the area. ”
