Yeah and never ever get their fake burnt ends. Well unless your some freak who loves the Heimlich performed on you. [Reply]
I went about 10 years ago on a business dinner and it was fucking fabulous. One of the best steaks I'd ever had. Great atmosphere too. It was a great drunken fun night. [Reply]

Smokehouse beans are the truth. Better than JS but only in the northland. I like JS beef ribs last time I was there. [Reply]

For pit beans hit up McGonigal's it's worth the drive [Reply]
The wife insisted on Jack Stack. I had some Burnt End Stew and a Smokin' Russ with a couple ribs added on. Also had some Jalapeno Cornbread as an app. It was all good but I prefer a little sweeter sauce then theirs. I'm still stuffed hours later. Maybe on the way back through we'll try J. Jay Gilbert's.

I've seen Harps in Raytowna Beach getting some love online...I gotta give it a go when I can.
Not really hate. Jack Stack just focuses on the dining experience over BBQ quality. Their meats are just OK compared to dozens of other BBQ places in the metro. Their sides are really incredible. They deserve credit for that. But they're more about the sit-down restaurant experience. Tourist BBQ. [Reply]
