I had to try the famous carrot cake, though. We also had fry seasoning at our table, so we could use as much as we wanted.Īfter eating most of my own food and taking bites of Jeff’s, I was completely full. All the meat was tasty, but the burnt ends were a little different than we were used to. I also tried a little of the burnt ends and turkey. He also ordered hickory pit beans so I could try them. Jeff ended up with a three-meat combo of ribs, burnt ends, and smoked turkey. Oh my goodness! These were some of the best sides I’ve ever tasted! I was in cheese heaven! The ribs were pretty good, too. I ordered some ribs separately with a side of cheesy corn bake and cheesy potato bake. We decided to work together to try a little of everything. Jeff usually tries a little of all the meats and is less interested in the sides in fact, he’s usually happy with fries. I wanted to taste all the sides I’d heard about, but I still wanted to try some of the meat. Kristin usually gets ribs when she eats barbecue, so that was a no-brainer. The server also brought out the sauce–Kansas City-style, of course. Our server recommended the freshly-squeezed lemonade, so our lemonade expert, Kristin, had to try some. We could also see the kitchen from our table.Īfter we were seated, we placed our drink orders. If you’re looking for a barbecue with a little more sitdown, casual-type atmosphere as opposed to lining up to place your order, this is the place for you. The decor is a little more “upscale” than other barbecue places we have been to, but it’s still family-friendly. Soon our names were called, and we were seated in the main dining room. I’d heard the sides were very good here and that I shouldn’t miss the carrot cake. Once inside, we had a short wait, but we used that time to look over the menu. The Plaza was hopping, but we found free parking in a parking garage nearby.īefore going inside, we couldn’t resist a photo opportunity out front.

We wanted to try some barbecue, and we wanted to shop on the Plaza, so Jack Stack made perfect sense. I would recommend going online and making a reservation on Open Table to cut down on your wait time.
