Jack Stack Barbecue - Freight House

Jack Stack's Crossroads location brings KC barbecue to a restored historic Freight House with 25-foot vaulted ceilings and a full bar. The menu covers more than 11 hickory-smoked meats—everything from beef burnt ends to lamb ribs—prepared by experienced pitmasters, plus they run happy hour specials on loaded fries and seasonal items like a summer pulled-pork sandwich benefiting Children's Mercy. Family-friendly with a patio and private event spaces, it's a solid spot whether you're grabbing lunch or planning something bigger.
