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.
You’ll find our newest location in the historic Country Club Plaza, one of the country’s premier shopping and entertainment districts. The 14-block Plaza is rich with Spanish-style architecture — and the most artfully crafted barbecue in the world. From leisurely lunches to KC's most delicious Happy Hour, Jack Stack on the Plaza hosts visitor's like no other.
