not only was the food delicious, but our service was so excellent. everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful and i would come back again just for that!
The reservation that we had got messed up for a baptism celebration half our party ended up leaving because we waited over an hour I will say that after we got seated they made up for the mistake by giving appetizers and a dessert. Jasmine and Sky were our waitresses and they did amazing for them alone I would make it back. They have a military discount on Tuesdays that gives military members 50% off of lunch. I had to pull pork mac and cheese which was nice and creamy and smoky the loaded baked potato was fire the cheddar cheese was amazing. I also had the fried mushrooms with horseradish sauce which was also awesome.
My wife and I received a gift card from the friend and so we went here for lunch on 7 September. Been a while since I have eaten Jack stack, but I didn’t remember liking it as much as I did this time. I ordered the 2 item meal and got the ribs and burnt ends and Parmesan broccoli(fantastic) The ribs were flavorful and tender. The burnt ends were delicious just the right amount of fatty and gelatinous, as well. I asked her for a sweet chipotle sauce, which I really enjoyed. My wife had the potato with pulled pork in it, which was really good as well. Which thinking about it now she oddly enough had the side of fries. We always get the baked beans from Costco so I thought she might try something different this time.
Best barbecue in Kansas City hands down!! Our server Mickey was awesome!! Great service goes hand and hand with great barbecue! She was awesome!! Excellent customer service and extremely friendly!! Definitely worth 7 hour dive to Kansa city from central Arkansas!! Go Mickey !!!!
Most delicious Kansas City BBQ we had on our trip! Everything we had was so amazing!!! The wings literally fell off the bone. Was the perfect amount of heat without being too spicy. All the meats for the combo plates were well seasoned. Brisket was thinning sliced. We substituted fries for baked potatoes instead. My husband has celiac disease and was able to eat here with no issues. Would highly recommend to eat here if visiting KC!
Stopped by for lunch today. It’s been a couple years since we’ve had Jackstack and BBQ sound great. We were able to get a table walking in at 12:30 on a Sunday so that was nice. We had the fried mushrooms, a must every time we go here. They were perfect, as expected. Husband had a sandwich, but we have always been sad that they got rid of the smoked ham. We loved the smoked ham on a sandwich. His was brisket and pulled pork and was very good. It was close to $20, but was so big that it will give him a second meal. My daughter and I got the convo platter with ribs, brisket and burnt ends. Everything was solid. My only complaint was how the a/c system was blowing air so strongly at every table along the windows. Our napkins were literally blowing in the wind if not held down. The server asked the manager to turn it down and it shut of for a little bit but not long. I understand that the system is needed to keep the overall restaurant temp comfortable, but for all of us next to the windows, it was very chilly and uncomfortable. Definitely made us eat quickly and scoot on our way.
This place is amazing! Kaylee was our waitress and did an awesome job taking care of our party of 8 people. Very attentive and helpful. Food was delicious, ribs were a little dry but that was probably the only complaint we had. Burnt ends (beef) Steak, Mac & Cheese, BBQ Beans, Salmon and Trout - all delicious and cooked to perfection. Even the broccoli tasted good and we also didn’t leave without ordering their yummy carrot cake:) Order came out quickly and a lot of hands on deck with how many people there were coming out to bring the food. Great atmosphere, clean restaurant, good company and delicious food. Will definitely return.
I came here with my mom tonight. She got her favorite, the Poor Russ Sandwich, and I got mine, which are the honey glazed baby back ribs. We both substituted the fries for the Hickory Pit Beans because they are the simply the best. The food didn't disappoint! We also ordered 2 of the Tropical Paradise cocktails, which were perfectly made & balanced. We loved everything. Also, our server Hannah R. was great. I definitely have to shout her out. She was outgoing, always made sure we had what we needed, kind, and funny. I really enjoyed getting to talk with her. Overall, we had a great experience!
