"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.

    Great food - beef brisket, pork burnt ends, & baby back ribs; babies seemed quite grown, but still good. Service superlative!

    After living in KC for 4 years, I’ve concluded that Jack Stack is my favorite BBQ. The food was fantastic and our server, Scott, was great!

    We had the fried portobello mushrooms and they were awesome! We had the 9 piece! A little expensive but never had mushrooms like that before! I had the beef rib upgrade to my 2 meat meal! I was a little disappointed in the beef ribs as there wasnt much meat on them! Our server was a young man and he was knowledgeable of the menue and stayed on top of providing everything without us asking! Overall it was a great value and good food!
