Reviews for Jack Stack Barbecue - Martin City in Kansas City, MO

KC BBQ can’t be beat!! Great food quality, fantastic service, and wide variety of meats. Be prepared to spend some money but... it is definitely worth a try. The Burnt Ends sandwich was extremely good but I wasn’t a big fan of how the meat was shredded.The Mac N Cheese appetizer was delicious. The highlight though was their baked beans! Generally not a fan of baked beans buttheir take on them was superb and full of flavor. The sweet iced tea was average which was disappointing. Overall, 4 stars is afair assessment of the experience.

Everything we had was great. The coleslaw and onion rings for an appetizer, both had great flavor. The slaw was a little on the... sweet side but very good. I had the pork ribs, beef brisket and beef burnt ends and wasn't disappointed in the least. Nice smokeflavor and pretty juicy. I can't remember the name of the sandwich my son had but it had pulled pork, ham, bacon, cheese and anonion ring with what looked like a mustard based sauce. It must have been good since his eyes kept rolling back in his headwhile he was eating it. The fries were about the only thing that I'd say were unremarkable. They were, well, fries. Nothingstood out about them but they weren't bad. Also, our waiter, Isaac, was awesome. He got the order correct, brought things outin a timely manner and kept the drinks full. Super friendly and A+ service. I'll definitely come back here. Read more

Crazy-busy on a Thursday evening! People were packed inside and more kept coming in. We waited only about 15 minutes for a patio... table. It's covered for shade and has both heaters and fans for any weather. We were celebrating a special occasion and orderedthree appetizers (hot wings, shrimp, and onion rings). They were out of the mushrooms, my favorites, so that was disappointing(but I didn't go hungry). Appetizers were good; the onion rings were especially light and crispy. Our party had a variety ofmenu items including several meat dishes (the stars of the meal), cheesy potato bake (rich and delicious), full-flavored bakedbeans, broccoli that's always cooked to perfection, and a KC strip (seemed over-priced). I ordered the steak medium rare but itwas still cool and purple inside. Instead of sending it back I just ate some of the edge and will enjoy the leftovers. If wehadn't had the appetizers and they weren't so busy, I would have sent it back. We definitely spent more than we usually do buthave lots of leftovers. It would have been helpful for someone to be refilling water more quickly; the server was obviously verybusy/rushed. The lemonade was refreshing but we already had our meal by the time it was served. We ordered the brownie dessertto enjoy later (it also took a long time to be brought out). Read more

Isaac & Melissa took exceptional care of us. We enjoyed the incredible Fire Kissed wings, the Barbecue Shrimp & the Burnt Ends.... The wings and the shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. The burnt ends unfortunately were dry so the extrabbq sauce offered help to moisten the ends which made them much more enjoyable. It’s a great space, lively, busy and overallvery enjoyable.

We are tourists to the KC region and were told that Jack Stack was THE barbecue spot! This place did not disappoint! From the... moment we walked in, the restaurant was outstanding! James was amazing and gave us a great patio seat (even though therestaurant was packed). Josh was our server and was kind, helpful, and very attentive to our dietary needs (allergies). Foranyone with dietary preferences, take note: Jack Stack BBQ has a fantastic allergen menu that identifies the common allergensin each menu item! This was perfect for us and immensely helped us with our dinner selection. The service was great and thefood was exceptional. Thank you James and Josh for a fantastic barbecue experience in Kansas City! Read more

We made this choice for our anniversary dinner, it was exactly what we expected. Food was amazing and the service was... exceptional, Angela was our waitress she was amazing. She suggested multiple places for us to visit, and her service wasexemplary. The food was superb all the way down to the pickles, I will say the sausage was my favorite of the meats, brisket wasso tender, chicken was seasoned perfectly. The burnt ends both pork and beef were cooked just right. The GARLIC BROCCOLI to saythe least was the most amazing thing I have ever eaten!! Beans and potatoes were good but that BROCCOLI was out of this world!We will definitely be back and I may have some delivered!!! Read more

Would love to give them a 5 ?? rating, just wish they had a little more offering on the barbecue sauce or even had some at the... table. Though the ribs were really tender. The coleslaw isn’t creamy as the menu says, more soupy then creamy. As for theaesthetics, beautiful place, really great atmosphere. Food comes out in a reasonable time and the server is really nice. I wouldstill recommend going. Read more

Came here for my birthday and really can't complain. I got ribs and they were really good. Margarita was good and the dessert... was delicious as well. Cornbread and onion rings were good too! The service was great (Sam was his name), and the atmosphere isbeautiful. It is a little pricey in my opinion but I'd recommend checking it out. Read more
