Their babybacks are really good. Make sure you try the creamy corn and the baked beans. You'll go back......I do!

On my first trip to KC last year, several folks recommended a BBQ place that was supposed to be good and authentic...ribs served on butcher paper with fries and sauce piled on. I think it was called Arthur Bryant's. That was the first time I was unable to finish half a slab of ribs...they were gross. And I LOVE ribs,... More

We went to three different BBQ joints during our honeymoon, and this was hands-down the best we tried. Our brother-in-law recommended it and we were not disappointed. The hickory-smoked meat has that perfect smoke flavor; the atmosphere and interior were amazing; the staff was very friendly and helpful. We ordered pork ribs and got beef ribs but didn't mind because... More

I searched on the internet to find good bbq places in KC on our visit from TN and came up with this. Stopped there today and we so glad we did. Had the lunch portion of baby back ribs and beans and they were fabulous. The pork and beef sandwich was very good as well and almost measured up to... More

I ate supper at Jack Stack's at the advice of a friend and was not disappointed when he said it was one of the best BBQ in K.C. (Capital of BBQ). The atmosphere is surreal, the staff is extremely friendly and the food is outstanding. My only gripe was regarding a glass of beer which I paid full price for... More

I am not a BBQ fan but took our family out (party of 15) to Jack Stack. Great atomosphere and the BBQ I have ever had. Only BBQ place I would return to. It's a little pricey as it cost $500.00 for the group with several drinks. Food portions were large and well presented.

We ate on the patio on a gorgeous day, and the food was fantastic! Got barbecue pork and chicken which was great. We rarely eat red meat, but this meal reminded us why people eat meat. It was fantastic! Even the grilled asparagus was exceptional!

If you are visiting KC and *MUST* have some amazing Authentic KC BBQ, don't go here. I was terribly disappointed, and so was my Missouri native boyfriend. The sauce was terrible and so vinegar laced; not sweet at all, and just a bit smokey. Not at all what you expect for a Kansas City sauce. Ribs were so-so. We ordered... More
