Stopped by on our way around town after running around town all day. I went in without having ordered ahead and expected to wait for 15-20 minutes to get my order. I was promptly helped at the bar and ordered my food. The waitress was very helpful and got my order in and I had my food in approximately 7 minutes. The food itself was excellent. Burnt ends were the bomb! Had Mac and Cheese and Baked Beans for the sides and they were excellent as well. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone that wants some good local BBQ without the big chain feel.

I would say the barbecue would be good if you can ever get it it took 45 minutes for an order I just asked for a refund this place is very unorganized is very busy but they are very unorganized it should not take you 45 minutes to get your order but people that come in right behind you and place their order and pay get there is before you I suggest call in or go somewhere elseWe're very sorry to hear about this experience. We take customer feedback very seriously. Please give us the opportunity to provide better service on your next visit.

The food is stunning. Smoked chicken salad on wheat was a fabulous change from beef& pork on the BBQ tour. BUT if you had a kid you'd like to infect with Love ofTrains,come here! HUGE active train yard runs right behind building-WITH A FENCED IN area with picnic tables outside. A train about every 10 minutes SHOOK the ground about a minute before passing by. Christmas setup come to life!

Came here on the recommendation of the b&b owners we were staying with. Visited the blues museum and negro baseball hall of fame which was right around the corner practically. BBQ was very good. We had the burnt ends there in the restaurant and the pulled pork sandwich we took to the Chiefs game that nite. Great tasting sauce, tender meat. Needless to say when you go to his place your there for the food not the ambience. The interior is stark, just basic tables to sit, eat your food and leave. The BBQ here is the real deal.

County Road Ice House is in a block full of restaurants and bars in KCâs Power & Light District. We ate dinner there on a night when there was a concert at the neighboring Sprint Center. It was busy and noisy until just before the concert started, when it seemed like everybody got up and left. So we were able to continue our meal in relative peace and quiet! Husband got ribs and one meat (brisket, but somewhat too lean) with toast and pickles and Mexican corn, and I got the house salad, which was quite good. The barbecue is from Joeâs in Kansas City, Kansas, and was very tasty.

The food was fine, the baked potato not quite done and a lot of salt on outside. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The disappointment- no utensils were provided, no butter for the âloadedâ baked potato and the sour cream, cheese, bacon was skimpy, I ordered a loaded baked potato and garden salad for my sides, got 2 baked potatoes and not a call to verify, and they sent NO barbecue sauce. For my husband and I it was $50 and I was just sad because I was looking forward to the food.

I live in the land of BBQ and I will provide the caveat that I don't eat mammals, so pork and beef are not consumed by me. The wonderful thing about this particular bbq joint is that they have tons of poultry and even vegetarian options as well as the more standard fare. My husband and son have both had their other meats and enjoyed them a lot too.My company had a holiday party here and one of the items was their jackfruit, it was pretty amazing. Their appetizers are great too. All their meat-free items have a silly skull and cross-bones symbol next to them, which makes me laugh a bit every time we go. I enjoy the cheesy hushpuppies and their cornbread is really good.For meats they offer burnt ends, crispy pork belly, pulled pork butt, hand-cranked sausage, turkey breast, smoked pit ham, black angus brisket and smoked vegan jackfruit (which admittedly isn't a meat). They have sandwiches and meat trays. Their sides are really good too, they have beans, potato salad, cabbage slaw, kale-pecorino slaw, bacon-broccoli slaw, fries, mac & cheese, and more.They have a great outdoors area in their beer garden with a bar, and fun games, like croquet, and cornhole. Dinner is open till 10 or 11 each day, but the bar is open later, till midnight on Sunday - Wednesday and till 1:30 am on Thursday - Saturday.I highly recommend this place, every time we've eaten here has been amazing.

My wife and I split a 3 sampler and it was absolutely perfect! Our waitress was prompt, kind, and helpful. Not only did we have a great time and a great meal, looking around the restaurant, everyone else seemed to be doing the same. I highly recommend Jack Stack Barbecue even with the long wait times to get a seat.Thanks for the review!

Was recommended by a local. We went for early dinner at 430 and was told the wait would be 45 minutes. The wait was actually 15 minutes. We had the burnt ends; melted in your mouth, lamb ribs; a little gamey but full of flavor, brisket; was ok, half chicken; my favorite part of the meal. Service was exceptional! Thank you for the review! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back soon!
