Smoke Daddy’s Review of Fiorellas Jack Stack Barbecue
This is about as good as a high-volume, commercial restaurant enterprise can be. My favorites were the beef rib, spare rib, and beans.
MAIN FARE:
- Brisket – Not sliced paper-thin. Good smoke-meat balance. Moist & tender. Rub doesn’t add much. Good.
- Rib – Sweet exterior. Fully rendered. Meat is tender, moist, and comes off the bone easily. Best rib of the tour so far (12th stop on KC tour).
- Sausage – Sliced lengthwise, of course. However spices are not italian. Good.
- Crown [Beef] Rib – Oh, this is yummy! Greasy, but good. I like the rub used on this beef. Excellent.

OTHER FARE:
- Cheesy Corn Bake – Good cheesy corn.
- Beans – Thick, and very sweet. Lots of drippings & meaty bits. Excellent.
- Potato Salad – Creamy with a touch of mustard… and dill
- Cole Slaw – Crunchy with a creamy-vinegar dressing.
- Sauce – All 3 sauces are heavy on the celery salt… would be a good addition to a bloody mary!
- Bread Pudding – Rum sauce. Wheat bread? Good!
ATMOSPHERE:
- Sit-down style family restaurant with table service
- Hickory grill is plainly visible from the hallway – nice touch
- Lots of wood used in the decor
- Too nice to be considered a ‘joint’
- Quotable: "This could be the nicest barbecue joint I’ve ever been in." — XO
