Jack Stack Barbecue - Freight House

Stopped here on cross country road trip to experience true Kansas City BBQ. Ordered The Taste of Kansas City platter to share. We subbed the 1/2 chicken with a chicken breast because 2 of us are gluten free and their half chicken is NOT gluten free. Fries are not GF and our waiter said none of the chicken is GF including the wings. I asked if the wings can come plain and he said no. The coleslaw is amazing and our favorite. Well chopped, not sour/bitter. More like sweet with celery seed. Family liked the brisket the best. Honey glazed Baby Back Ribs and pulled pork were good. Slightly dry. Had beans and coleslaw sides. The beans were good too. Two of our family is no gluten free. One had kids chicken fingers and fries - all good. They share onion rings. Are 4 between the two of them. They were high quality, thick cut and enjoyed An overall good stop.

This place will be packed, no matter when you go. But food is good. Staff is knowledgeable about gluten free options (including beer!) and service was great. Not GF kitchen but many GF options for those not worried about cross contamination.

We went here for a friend's birthday party. My husband and I shared the BBQ for 2 platter and we got SO much food. It was absolutely delicious and very filling. We had tons of leftovers. It was also very reasonably priced for what we all got. They also were able to accommodate gluten free.
