The Martin City home of the hickory-pit legend

Jack Stack Barbecue is a barbecue restaurant in Kansas City, MO. Listed categories include barbecue, restaurant.

The Martin City Jack Stack on Holmes Road is where the institution began, and it still sets the template every other location follows. This is Kansas City barbecue at its most polished—hickory-fired meat and a handful of sides people cross the metro to eat, served to families and business dinners in equal measure across a room built for both.

The crown prime beef ribs are the showpiece, each topping a pound and smoked to a deep hickory richness. Burnt ends and the famous hickory pit beans run close behind, the smoked brisket stays polished and consistent across the full spread, and the cheesy corn bake has its own devoted following. It's refined without ever turning fussy—the original that proved Kansas City barbecue could wear a nicer room and still mean every bite of it. Come for the beef ribs; leave arguing over the beans.
