Jack Stack Burnt Ends...WTF???

[Reaper16]

Copied from a post I made back in Jan., here are the top 5 places in KC for burnt ends:

1.) L.C.'s (as long as they don't "tourist" you. They run low everyday and save the real ends for regulars).

2.) Smokin' Guns

3.) Woodyard

But ya'll wouldn't know about that #2 & #3 shit, since all the talk is about the hugely popular places (Bryant's, Gates, Jack Stack, Smokestack) that aren't worth much of a shit comparatively.

4.) Oklahoma Joe's (only available on Wed. nights)

5.) Snead's

I have to concur with Phobia.

If you want good BBQ make it yourself.
On a whim we had Jack Stack 2 weeks ago and I found it quite bland and way over priced.

True BBQ should be Well Seasoned and have a Deep Smoky Flavor.

I have been disappointed in the consistency of most places.

Burnt ends are what they sound like. The burnt end pieces from slicing the brisket.

I will admit I've never had Smokin' Guns ends, just the beef brisket. But dang, that wasn't BBQ that I ate. There was NO and I mean NO smoke flavor in it(this was 2 trips, not just 1, so it isn't like it was a one time bad event). I thought about sueing to make them change their name it was so minus smoke flavor.

As for 3, love me some 'yard. People I go with always get the chili, I just have a hard time going to a bbq joint and getting chili, so I always go with the burnt ends.


For my own current favorite, I like the burnt ends from Big T's. The sauce takes a little getting used to, more vinegar based, but the meat is dang tasty.

Thanks Reaper.

Thanks Reaper. I will have to try them all out ASAP! I am wanting to make the 3 hour drive to KC right now, just for some burnt ends.

i still need to try LC's, heard tons of good things about it. I tried smoking guns and got ribs, they were overcooked and bone dry & the other guys I went with weren't impressed either.

But, after reading your post I went to Woodyard yesterday for the first time and the burnt ends were perfect. Already went a second time today.

Another satisfied poster.
