Gluten-Free at Jack Stack Barbecue

The server was super confused when I asked for a gluten free menu even though I pointed out that it is reported on this site they have one. Eventually he brought out an allergen menu which did the trick. Food was great, no reaction!

Eaten here multiple times and it’s always great. The GF menu is an allergen card so it is confusing. Especially since the names of the dishes don’t match with the allergen card. But the staff is always super helpful and friendly! Always feel safe eating here :)

Went to Science City with kids in the AM, went to lunch here, and then back to Science City. Good BBQ, plenty of seating, lots of options, the creamy corn was something new I hadn’t had before.

Amazing!! We ordered the Taste of KC easily feeds 6 people and we were able to get the gluten free stuff separated from the not gluten free which was the wings and fries. Great experience! I suggest making reservations!

I called in advance- since we were ordering takeout. They have a way to do group orders allowing users to add notes & each user who is part of the group can add their name. I loved the convenience. I included allergy alert- in my name. Asked to change gloves & bag separately- due to gluten, dairy & nut allergies- they did great! Even confirmed when we picked up the food that they took added precautions & someone else in our order had ordered fries, they advised the fries are not in fried in a GF fryer just to ensure we were aware that the GF people in our party can’t have the fries!

We were visiting MO from California, went to KC and Branson. This was definitely the best BBQ we had on our weeklong trip, probably the best BBQ either of us have had in our lives. We are still talking about it a week later! Melt in your mouth meats. Even the chicken! BBQ sauces are excellent. Try them all, they’re all gluten free! Our server definitely knew what was and wasn’t GF and made a special note for the kitchen as well that I had an allergy. I had the strawberry salad to start (delicious and refreshing) then some chicken and pulled pork and a loaded baked potato. All so good. We had it for lunch and ate so much we skipped dinner that night. Highly recommend.

I ate here tonight with my celiac daughter. We had noted the need for a GF menu with my reservation through Open Table, and they were great about including it when we sat down. They provided a gluten free item list so we could cross reference the kids menu and full menu. It also includes options for modifications to make regular items GF. Lastly the person who sat us did a great job of highlighting that the fries and wings would be cross contaminated in the fryer. Our server also made sure that my daughters chicken was not served on the same plate as fries (for her sister). Over all they were great and attentive!

I have always wanted burnt ends in Kansas City. We stopped here on our way through and were impressed, to say the least! The waitress stopped mid-order to grab the allergen menu when I told her I was gluten-free. I didn't even ask her to! I had the burnt end plate (pork and beef) with the corn bake. Those were hands-down the BEST burnt ends I have ever eaten, smoky, tender, and beyond delicious! The corn bake was like a cheesy creamed corn and were super yummy. The ribs were amazing too! Worth driving half hour off the highway!

Soooo good! All meats & sauces are GF, and most sides are as well. Ask for their allergen guide - it lists out all menu items and which allergens are present. The manager gave the disclaimer that there’s always a chance for cross contact since they do have gluten in their kitchen, but if an allergy was severe, they would change gloves and prep the food in a separate area. My friend & I shared the burnt ends platter for 2 which included beef & pork burnt ends and sausage, baked beans, cheesy corn and coleslaw. It was so much food we each took some home. Best BBQ hands down.

This was amazing. Found it with my "Find My Gluten Free" app. It did not disappoint. Good gluten free options. Had Blackberry BBQ Salmon which was amazing! The cheese corn was delicious too.. Those were my favorites.. The BBQ lamb ribs were also delicious as were the beans. They didn't really have a gluten free dessert, but were able to get me some ice cream with chocolate sauce. Hubs had the strip with fries and really liked it.. The family fashioned and purple haze were also delicious, but the family fashioned won out. ETA; make a reservation before coming, we were happy we did even though we came earlier than I anticipated needing a reservation. At 5p the wait without a reservation was 30 to 45 min.

This was our first experience at Jack Stack’s as we are from Nashville, TN. We were traveling through KC and stopped to see a friend who told me about burnt ends…something I had never heard of even though Nashville has plenty of barbecue. The burnt ends didn’t have the crispness my friend described but they were so very tender. My husband had the pork spare ribs and they were excellent. Another big plus was the accommodation of my gluten-allergy. Morning after dinner I feel fine! Our server was very knowledgeable and a great server…a young gal going to community college before she goes off to Oklahoma University.

I had a fantastic experience here! The waitress was so knowledgeable of the menu and brought up which items might be subject to cross contamination right away. All of the sauces appear to be gluten free and same with the meat (minus the wings which are fried). You can swap the french fries for a wide number of other delicious sides 😋

SO GOOD! I got the brisket & turkey with the cheesy potatoes as a side, and my mom got the honey-chipotle chicken with the cheesy corn.

The brisket/turkey was by far the best. My mom thought the chicken was best - both sides were pretty good.

They can provide an allergen menu if you ask and almost everything is GF or can be made GF.

You need to request the gluten free information, which is an allergen chart that you then cross-reference to the menu. For the sake of argument we will call that a separate menu, since it is quite thorough.

Our food was excellent and I did not experience any issues. I even had my leftovers for supper that night. I got brisket, pulled pork, pork burnt ends, cheesy potato bake, broccoli and cheesy corn bake.
