"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.

    Nothing like a little ‘cue for two at @jackstackbbq ✨ We love having a Jack Stack in Lenexa for a night out for bbq! The platters are perfect for two to get a little variety in meats and sides! I also adore the spinach salad, so we had to have one to start the meal, along with some skillet cornbread 😍 Can’t skip the carrot cake 🥕 for dessert! We grabbed it to go after filling up on dinner, but couldn’t miss out on one of our favorites! #jackstack #jackstackbbq #kcbbq #kcbarbecue #bestbiteskc #kcque #kcdatenight

    Took clients out for dinner. Service was good. Food was terrible. The “crown” prime beef rib was overcooked to the point it was like beef jerky. Definitely wasn’t worth the price. I thought Kansas City was known for their ribs. This could be the worst I’ve ever had.

    The fish options are surprisingly good! The shrimp appetizer, and the salmon and trout entrees are excellent!

    Adam was great for everything and he quickly replaced a set of ribs that I had to tear off from the bones with some effort with great ribs like I expect at Jack Stack.

    We dine quite off at this Jack Stack and were pleased to be able to take advantage of their anniversary special. The ribs and sides were good , just slow coming out and getting our order placed.
