About Restaurant

Started by Russ Fiorella in Kansas City in 1957 and previously known as Smokestack BBQ, Jack Stack began as a traditional storefront barbecue restaurant with a modest selection of five to six items. Jack Fiorella, the eldest son, worked with his father until 1974, when he decided to branch off and start Fiorella’s Jack Stack of Martin City. Set in the burgeoning Crossroads Art District, our historic converted Freight House will wow you with its 25-foot ceilings, fireplace lounge with full-service bar, and indoor and outdoor private dining. Located near The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, Sprint Center and an array of local art galleries and boutiques, we’re serving remarkable Kansas City barbecue in the heart of KC.
