Stopped at this location for our brother in law's birthday and he is from SanDiego. His first experience with KC bbq was memorable and we will be back!

Amazing. We went in on a Friday night at 915pm and with a party of 7, which is a kitchens worst nightmare so close to closing time. But our server was amazing and gracious and accommodating. Food was amazing and my husbands filet did come out cooked med well when he ordered med rare, and the manager came over herself and apologized and offered to make him a new dish- being so late and he not being picky, he said no, he'd eat the well done steak. She then not only comp'd his meal, she also took off 15% off our entire party's tab. So even tho we were “those customers” she and her staff went above and beyond and made us feel welcome and appreciated. Super satisfied and would dine here again absolutely.

Best aspargus ever. Enjoyed a sampler platter for 2, with enough leftovers for the next day. Server, Coffee, was a delight: well versed in The offerings, personable and highly competent.

Our waiter, Coffee, was exceptional! Even when he wasn't waiting on us, he included us when he'd walk by and say something funny. He definitely kept us entertained while we waited for our food. The bad thing was, when we left, we took leftovers and a carrot cake that my husband truly loves! We were travelling and we accidentally left them in the hotel refrigerator! :-( By the time we remembered this, we were too far down the highway to turn back. So we missed out on the wonderful food again.

We ordered for two, and they told us they didn't have brisket. I asked for more ribs instead, but they wouldn't give me ribs to make up for the brisket they didn't have — they wanted to give me more pulled pork instead.

Everything was delicious as usual. The only disappointing thing about the whole meal was you all were out of pulled pork, which is pretty much what half of our party was looking forward to, but despite that everybody enjoyed and food was delicious. Our server was attentive and friendly. We will be back soon.

Five smoky stars for Jack Stack (Lenexa)! Busy, buzzy, and downright fun. We had a reservation and were seated early at a table for four—bliss. We ordered Jack's Best and it was a show-stopper for the whole crew. The onion rings? Mandatory. (I'm lobbying to make them a food group.) Sauces & dips: we worked our way through the Original, the Honey version, and the Spicy, plus that house ranch—dangerously good. Sides we devoured: the legendary cheesy corn, beans, coleslaw, and fries... and because our table leans brisket, we added a side of brisket for good measure. The pickled onions on the platter are swoon-level—bright little fireworks for all the smoky things. Everyone left happily stuffed with leftovers for two more meals for the two of us. Dessert strategy: take home the carrot cake, warm it, add vanilla ice cream, and prepare for joy so intense it might require a permit. The Lenexa location (newest as far as I know) nails the trendy, upscale barbecue vibe—solid wine & beer list, excellent salads with house-made dressing, and the best house lemonade I've ever had: consistently perfect. I've been a customer for 15+ years, and the quality still hits. Pro tip: there are six locations and crowds roll in hungry—make a reservation. Jack's still got the magic.

Everything was good as always! One of my favorite places to take family. Even my kids devoured their food!

Jack Stack is so overrated!! The brisket put in the sandwich was dry and flat! The worst was the fries came out stale and lukewarm warm. Since no one immediately followed up on how the food was so I had to wave on someone to tell them the fries were not hot or fresh. Then you will have to wait for a second batch to eat with your sandwich now the meat on the sandwich got even colder The second batch came out, disappointingly, still not hot enough I could tell they were not freshly fried. We didn't want to wait any longer so we just told them yeah it's hot this time We pay 1/4 of the price to Culver's, EACH TIME, fries came out piping hot . For this amount you spend and at a restaurant like Jack Stack and to have not once but twice not freshly hot fries, is unacceptable in my book My salmon cooked perfectly I have to say but the salad was so blend !! I have not been to Jack Stack for a while, based on previous experiences at other locations, I feel like they are so overrated! I decided to give it a try at this newer location and hoping for having my impressions changed, but no, it just proved again I was right, just a way overrated restaurant! Q39 is A LOT better!!

I've been to Jack stack barbecue three times. Once with a party of 10, a few weeks back by myself and just this week with two other coworkers. Each time I found the food to be average at best. In my opinion, the appetizers have proven to be better than the entrées. The fire kissed wings and the bbq shrimp were outstanding. The beef & pork burnt ends combo was fair but the pork was nothing but fat. My dog loved them. It would be nice to offer some green vegetable on the side's menu such as green beans or a vegetable mix. The atmospheres and wait staff were both above average. I'm sure I will be back bc my employees in Olathe dearly love this place but me, not so much. Thx

The service was friendly and met our every desire. We dined midafternoon on Saturday. We really enjoyed our time a Jack Stack. The food was excellent as always. The best BBQ in the Kansas City area as far as I'm concerned. 👍❤️👍

Everything was great until our food was dropped off, then we didn't see out server til we were nearly done eating. I needed to send back a side because it came out cold. She finally came back after about 20 minutes and I asked for her to take it back. And then very rudely said “anything else?”. Once she left we never saw her again and the manger finished up our service. Honestly just very shocking considering Jack Stack is renowned for their service and unfortunately they didn't meet that standard this evening. Apparently we also had two servers, as this was how we were greeted, but never saw the other one. Seems like they are having some gaps in service somewhere. Manager was great though and location is stunning.

We LOVE Jackstack, however, the Server was TERRIBLE. Never cleared anything from our table unless we specifically handed it to her and then tried for almost 10 minutes, yes 10 minutes, to get her attention so we could pay our bill. Also, we were so excited to see the French dip on the menu again but we were disappointed in it. Almost tasteless and not much meat. All this being said, we will go again because this night was definitely not the service or quality for f food we normally get. Still a Jackstack fan!

Cathy

Overpriced. Lunch special was a sandwich on a burger bun w fries for about $15. Food was very average.Waitress never refilled waters or teas; asked if we wanted dessert while not everyone was done eating, then gave us our tabs while one person was still eating. We felt rushed. I would not recommend.

The beans are the best in KC. The stuffed baked potato was awesome, and the sandwiches are terrific
