freight house

Spacious restaurant interior with exposed brick, tall vaulted ceilings, wrought-iron chandeliers, and dark wood tables.

Set inside a historic 1887 railroad freight house in the heart of the Crossroads Arts District, our Freight House location pairs gourmet hickory-smoked barbecue with one of the most distinctive dining rooms in the city. Featuring soaring 25-foot ceilings, exposed brick, a fireplace lounge with full-service bar, an expansive patio for enjoying barbecue al fresco, plus indoor and outdoor private dining, it’s an iconic spot for lunch, dinner, and celebrations alike. And with Kauffman Center, T-Mobile Center, and KC’s best galleries just steps away, it’s the perfect spot before a show or after work. On your plate, enjoy the remarkable barbecue that has earned Jack Stack its spot in KC barbecue lore, including our famous ribs, burnt ends, and award-winning sides like hickory pit beans and cheesy corn bake – all served with warm hospitality perfect for any meal or occasion.
