"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.

    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

    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!
