"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.

    We celebrated our birthdays here and had the Cue for Teo Roundup. Dinner was delicious as always and our server was so delightful! They insisted on us having complimentary desserts to take with us as we were so full from dinner. Great experience as always and continued to be be one of our KC faves on the Plaza!

    Jose provided us with excellent service and the beef burnt ends last night were maybe the best I’ve had them in my visits to Jack Stack or any of the other barbecue joints in town. 10/10

    We had a great experience as we always do when visiting Jack Stack at this location. It was extra special with the Plaza Christmas lights!

    The female receptionist was short and rude. This was way different than anything else we have experienced in our 1+ years in Kansas City. After getting past her, the service and food were outstanding!
