50 years already? It seems like just yesterday when our beloved neighborhood landmark opened its doors at 135th Street and Holmes Road. Since then, Jack Stack Barbecue has evolved into a barbecue powerhouse with multiple locations and fans all over the world. Just a few years ago, the Martin City location underwent a major redesign and remodel, including a classy new bar, revamped dining area flow, and a revolutionized take-out operation. Now, the Martin City Jack Stack is smokin’ like never before.
Check out some of the nostalgia and other fire-roasted anniversary fun below.
And thank you, Jack Stack Barbecue, for all you do to make Martin City a special destination!

We remember when Taylor Dorman, Vice President of Operations, was the manager of Martin City’s Jack Stack location. We snapped his photo in a booth next to a framed photo of his parents and Jack Stack owners, Jennifer & Case Dorman.
