Jack Stack BBQ, with four locations around Kansas City, serves a varied barbecue menu with a high class restaurant feel, while also serving other specialities, such as shrimp, burgers, salads and more.
We ordered the sampler platter, which came with chicken, burnt ends, baby back ribs and polish sausage. The platter is served with coleslaw and fries, however, we opted to switch the fries for the cheesy potato casserole.
Our server brought us extra sauce, both the house classic sauce and their spicy sauce. We were also offered a "hot" sauce, which we decided not to try.
The chicken was moist and served on the bone - a half breast and a wing. It was a lot of meat on our chicken. The sausage was pretty typical of sausage, but the meat's flavor definitely got a pop with the spicy sauce.
The ribs, which were just short of a half rack, were meaty and the meat was very tender, with a nice, chewy bark which was a nice texture contrast to the moist meat of the ribs.
The burnt ends had a very nice smoke ring and were very moist, however, a little fatty compared to Jack Stack's neighboring BBQ joints. The burnt ends were very tasty all on their own, a perfect combination of beef and smokiness, but were also delicious in both the classic sauce and the spicy sauce.
For dessert, we tried the carrot cake, as it was highly recommended. The cake, a warm cake with a comforting flavor of cinnamon and nutmeg is topped with a warm cream cheese frosting and walnuts. While the cake doesn't look intimidating, it is very large and should definitely be shared.
Jack Stack serves very large portions, and the combination plate was the perfect amount for two people to share.
