Jack Stack Barbecue - Lee's Summit

★★★★☆ 4.2 (526) • $$

"Having visited the KCMO area over the years (our son moved down in June 2001 to take a promotion), we've had the pleasure of visiting several wonderful restaurants throughout the city and 'burbs. We have visited Jack Stack kore than once, but last night's experience was exceptional. Because of traffic conditions, we were forced to change our reservation not once but twice! The hostess was understanding and reassuring us there would be no trouble getting a table. We were seated promptly and our fantastic server, Emma, greeted us with a warm smile and pleasantries. Spit, spot. Drinks were served. Orders placed and the appetizer served. Our guests were wowed by the huge, uniformly sized DELICIOUS onion rings. And commented on the yummy horseradish sauce. The plates were presented next. Lovely plating! Bravo to the kitchen crew!!!Our guests were pleasantly impressed with the size of the restaurant, how busy it was for a Wednesday evening and tremendous service we the received. Emma was a ROCK STAR! We appreciated the attention to detail on food due to a couple of dietary concerns. Again, the kitchen staff exceeded our expectations. Many thanks. The place is well lit, comfortable, roomy seating. It's a bit loud for we old folks wearing hearing aids, but we managed just fine. You know we'll return. And hope to SOON!"

Tannin Wine Bar & Kitchen

"Tannin didn't disappoint. A wonderful outing to this Wine Bar. We had made a reservation so that certainly helped. It was busy this Saturday evening and there was a great ambience aa we entered. We were seated in a booth and my only fault was that I wish the AC was turned down a bit.The Menu was wonderful with a good selection of cocktails and of course Wine. I ordered a Moscow Mule as my first choice was no longer available. I knew right off my choices were going to be from the starters Menu and they were just perfect. The delicious fries with Aioli were spot on. The ahi tuna tartare with its crispy wontons were a delight and the shrimp appetizer were so good i ordered another. I didn't order a meal from the Menu but my love did. He went with the 3 course meal and a wine flight which he said was very good. His steak was a perfect medium rare and he was very pleased. We will certainly be returning. I will add that parking can be a chore even though they do have a lot adjacent. We luckily found a spot on the street and paid through the app."

"One of the first vegan places where the biscuits and gravy actually tastes amazing. If I wasn't told it was vegan I wouldn't have known. BBQ tofu Nachos was also great. The bbq tofu had a great consistency and flavor. The cashew sour cream was delicious and I do not normally eat sour cream. The chicken salad was also really good, I had a couple bites and the vegan chicken had a nice crunch to go along with the salad and dressing. Definitely coming back if I'm in the area."

"The best ribs I have ever had!! Spicy bbq sauce was amazing too. Found this place on yelp on the way from Kansas City to Lawrence and was pleasantly surprised. Much preferred this to the chain bbq spots we tried in Kansas City. We'll be back next time we come to the Midwest!"

"We used Affordable Elegance Catering for our wedding last month. They were AMAZING! Everybody commented on how great the food was. Dee-Dee and her staff was an absolute pleasure to work with. From beginning to end they kept in contact with us to make sure our big day was perfect. We would recommend Affordable Elegance to anyone looking for a caterer. Thank you so much!!"

Potato Potatas

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (1)

"I requested the baked potato bar on January 29th for February 12th for 45 people around 11:00 am. I work for a software company so there are a lot of us. We ended up having to reschedule due to weather (3 weeks in advance) and rescheduled for Monday, February 17th; I got a call on the 17th asking about our order for the 18th. I explained to them that it was supposed to be today (the 17th), and they said they would call me with more information (this was around 9:30 am). I called again at 11 am, and they said the earliest they would be available was 1:30 due to waiting for the potatoes to be fully cooked. At 1:40, I received no call, so I called from three different numbers, and no answer. At this point, I told all my coworkers that they weren't coming, and that everyone had to get their own food. At 2:42 pm, they finally called and said they had a water leak this morning and had to switch kitchens and are just now headed here. They did not give me notice of this water leak that happened "this morning," even though I called them twice this morning, and they failed to mention that. She said it would be around 30 mins. It is currently 5 pm, and we still have not received our potato bar.Keep in mind this was for a corporate baby shower."

Jack Stack Barbecue - Freight House

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"I was anticipating my return to Jack Stack before I even left...and not for reasons you may think! If you are staying in the crown center area it's definitely worth a visit. Jack stack feels like an upscale BBQ experience. The inside is very spacious and the service was fast!I would like to acknowledge that the pork burnt ends were enjoyable and I'd get them again, but the pork ribs were pretty mid. They were definitely tender and fell off the bone but I found them lackluster. HOWEVER I came here to rave about the appetizers!!! In first place is the pulled pork Mac followed by the onion rings and then the jalapeño cornbread. Wow! I could have only had appetizers and left extremely happy. There are a few other things on the menu I would be interested in trying so I will be back"

Jack Stack Barbecue - Overland Park

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Just passing through town, we were lucky to catch them 30 minutes before closing. It was a busy night, I was dreaming of burnt ends but they were out by the late hour we arrived. Even so we enjoyed back ribs, chicken, beans, cheesy corn, and fries, all were excellent. High marks for menu, service, ambiance, parking and all the other things we tend to take for granted. I moved from KC over 30 years ago but am always happy to be able to get back for Jack Stack bbq... (it was late, phone battery was dead, sorry no pics...)"

Jack Stack Barbecue - Plaza

"Lateee review alert (oops)I came here about a month ago as a tourist to the KC area and wanted some good barbecue. And that is what I got! The interior is very classy, with a bit of a steakhouse vibe. For the midafternoon (2:30-3 pm) window, it was rather busy, which is always a good sign. Service still moved quite quickly. I ordered a choose your own plate ($17?) with pork ribs and beef brisket. Both were absolutely amazing! I am a bit remiss that I don't remember more of my visit now. Oops again. I think though that I would frequent this location if I were a KC local."
