THE HOUSE OF MEAT For a century, Kansas City has perfected its version of "low and slow" and we pay homage to the many great pit masters who have gone before us. Charring, smoking and grilling with wood have been an age-old universal method for both suste

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.

I've been to the Olathe location several times, but ate here for the first time a couple weeks ago. Generally, I think all their food is very good. But this time, I got fries with my sandwich and was dipping them in the hot BBQ sauce and was disappointed with the sweet potato taste. Why would they cook the regular fries in the same vat as the sweet potato fries???? Well, here's the thing - they don't have sweet potato fries. It was the hot BBQ sauce giving them that flavor. It was the weirdest thing! The regular BBQ sauce was good and the fries by themselves were also good, so it was definitely the hot BBQ sauce giving it that flavor. Wonder if they mixed up the recipe or something... anyway I did not care for that sauce. The rest of it was good.

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.

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!

Had the BBQ pulled pork, chicken and the chipotle sausage. (they had run out of the ribs.) Pulled pork and the chicken were very tasty and provided an ample amount of food. The sausage was not as good. The beans were in a watery sauce instead of a thicker more savory sauce. Good beer selection, especially of local beers. Service was timely and food was delivered quickly. Big dining room that was a bit loud. Boxy restaurant with little sound absorbing features. Overall, the BBQ sauce was good, but I like Memphis BBQ sauce better.

Great verity makes it hard to order even the staff recommendations were all over the menu from BBQ, Steaks, and Seafood. We went with the following. The prime rib was tough to cut with a knife but the au jus saved the plate. The burnt ends were good the meat lacked a unique Smokey flavor that I like. The sliced turkey had me seeing lunchables. The creamy cheese corn was a let down. Slaw was average and the beans saved the sides. Overall mediocre at best. Hi ChaseCarver! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Sounds like we left something to be desired during your last visit. If you're open to it, we'd like an opportunity to make this right for you! We've escalated this review to our Overland Park Restaurant team. Please send us a direct message with your email address and phone number and a manager from the Overland Park location will reach out to you to coordinate next steps. We hope to hear from you soon!
