Baker Bros. BBQ - The building - Barbeque Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

"Let the meat speak for itself...." it's mute! No flavor, bones U shaped with weird bones throughout! Sauce was way too sour! not worth $27 read more

I went back. Of course I went back! The staff and the atmosphere are awesome in their own right. Stayed with the brisket, added the smoked sausage. Asking me to choose the best is like asking your Mama who is her favorite child. Absolutely amazing each in its own way. The sausage was a perfect blend of pork and spices, the flavor runs deep. The owner is fully invested in his craft. Stop by you'll be glad you did. read more

This was below subpar BBQ for Tennessee. Staff was nice but no music, ambience was terrible. We came in on a Wednesday at 2-3 pm for a late lunch. They didn't have ribs ready, the Mac and cheese felt microwaved from the night before and harder, the potatoes felt like it came from a grocery store. Overall - would not come back. read more

Here in Jackson and this is not a place I will return to after this meal. HORRIBLE Don't even know how to cut brisket. You have to cut against the grain. Turnips are great chicken is drier than the Sahara desert. OMG. I see why is was empty. Maybe I should have stuck with the ribs. Place smellled good service was lacking and now food not good. read more

Baker Bros. BBQ - Brisket and chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

We just had door dash delivery. My smoked chicken was perfect. The giant tots are so packed with all the right tastes. I got mild bbq cause you never know and it was good. They didn't hide all the flavors of the meat in sauces which says a lot about how good the meat is. read more

Another fantastic meal at Baker Bros BBQ! This time, we tried the pulled pork nachos! I don't know what magic special cheese sauce they're cooking up back there, but it is DIVINE! Baker Bros BBQ is a fantastic local spot full of love and community pride! *plus, they've got arcade games in the back! read more

Baker Bros. BBQ - The Alfred- Burger with slaw, pulled pork, brisket, and bacon!!! I'm not usually a burger gal, but how could I resist?! - Barbeque Near Me - Jackson, Tennessee

Brisket and onion rings were terrible. Sliced brisket had no flavor and was overcooked. The 5 onion rings had heavy batter and no taste. For lunch, I was the only person in the restaurant and should have been my tip. My $21 error is on me. read more

We've eaten there a few times. The food is ALWAYS delicious. I love when it's a nice day in TN and they have the doors rolled up. I think they might do it to allow the sweet, sweet smell of their awesome food to spread around downtown. The main reason while I'll always go back is that Drew smoked a brisket flat for me. I was lamenting online that I didn't know how to cook it because we don't have a grill or smoked. A friend tagged Drew in the message and Drew graciously agreed. We are on that brisket for 4 dinners!!! It was so flavorful. I'm forever grateful for Drew's kindness. I hate wasting food, but I knew if I tried to cook it, I might as well have thrown it in the garbage. read more

Brisket was tender and moist. Chicken was falling off the bone with crispy smoky flavor. Wings were perfectly fried and sauced. the bbq sauce was a little to strong in vinegar but that's just me. Not a fan of the sauce but the food quality and tenderness was great. The actual place has a really cool vibe. Our server was super sweet and accommodating and the cook/owner was really nice, he came out to say thank you. Definitely worth trying read more

best fried pickles EVER!! Found this place on a fluke so glad we did. The people there are great too

Baker Bros. BBQ was so excellent last night that we had to come back for more today. I tried the brisket for the first time. Babyyyy, let me tell you, I was ready to drive to Texas and slap my Mamma cause she could learn a thing or two after eating that. Amazing! My belly is full now and its time for a nap and maybe dinner there again because we cannot get enough. read more

One the nicest servers this side of the Mississippi!! Brisket was good. Sausage was kinda dry. Sweet tea was outstanding. Onion Rings were fantastic. Mac and cheese was good. But the service is worth everything to me. Our server was working the whole room, pouring sweet tea, fetch'n sauce, keeping everyone's order straight and she even knew all the words to the Hank Williams on the juke box. Such a southern treat! read more

Food is always great! But I would really like to recieve everything with my order when I order it. I order a salad, recieve no salad dressing when I selected ranch. I order brisket, recieve no bbq sauce after selecting bbq sauce. Every delivery order has had something missing. read more

I found my experience to be positive overall. I just thought the prices were super high. $10 for just a sandwich (no side no drink) was a bit much. Be for warned, their sauce is spicy so even the mild has a kick. The waitress was great the restaurant was neat, the prices were just a bit elevated from what I'm used to. The only real issue was when members of my party asked for dessert and were told they didn't have any. read more

Wow this place was outstanding!! I had overlooked it and then my brother asked if I wanted to try so I figured why not. We had the sausage, pork, smoked chicken, brisket along with beans, Mac and potato salad. Man oh man was it some great food. I wasn't all about the sauces but the food was on point. read more

Rant moment. Baker Bros in Jackson just continues to disappoint. I've given them 4 chances and now I'm saying something. The last time it was a pulled pork baked potato with no butter, chives, or sour cream. I didn't order it that way, it came that way. Literally the driest baked potato I've ever had. Today I ordered pulled pork fries. There should be sour cream, chives, bacon, cheese, fries, and meat. There were no chives and bacon. And there is sour cream but it's like 1/4 of a teaspoon. What am I supposed to do with that? Then there's the cheese sauce. Let's just talk about that. I had to dig to find it and when I did, it looks like it was poured into the container and then the fries added after like a fry/cheese soup. Which just means everything is soggy before I even get to eat it. I called and explained everything (nicely at first) and their exact words were, "that's just how we assemble them." Okay sir, by that logic, if it's always been done horribly then horrible is correct? I did ask how I needed to order in the future to ensure this doesn't happen and his response was that I should order everything separate. So essentially, I should order all the ingredients from them and then make it myself. The did issue me a refund but the fries were so soggy I had to throw them away. In all, I'm still starving but Baker Bros is definitely stingy with their ingredients, unapologetically sloppy, and not worth your money. Rant over. read more

The place was empty and half the menu was out but it was still a fabulous experience. The appetizer of fried pickles and peppers was phenomenal. Crunchy, salty and with some zip, these were the star of the show. No chicken, no brisket but lots of pig. The pulled pig was moist and tasty. The sausage had good snap. The sides once again were the stars. The onion rings were beer battered and delicious. The greens rocked and the white beans were like grandma makes. read more

Here's another solid adaptive reuse effort that has taken a West Main Street garage and turned into a fine barbecue establishment with an understated indusEasy to find--a couple of blocks off the Jackson square--with plenty of street parking. My group arrived for a late lunch and we all tried different items. The barbecue baked potato looked delish with plenty of cue stuffed inside. The pork sandwich was moist, smoked well, ample portion. The smoked sausage was also really tasty and grilled perfectly, served on grilled Texas toast--a nice touch. Also get the fish nugget appetizer--superb. The sides are very impressive--recommend the bbq baked beans and the very good turnip greens. They also serve both a creamy or vinegar slaw--another nice touch. Then everything was under $9 bucks, very reasonable considering the quality. Service was prompt, friendly. Would I go back: you betcha! read more

Best BBQ in the city hands down. I don't know what voodoo they put on that catfish but it will make you slap ya momma. It's got the best environment of all restaurants in the city and they support other local establishments and entertainment. read more

Everything works. The employees are very accommodating. BBQ, done right in many different ways. BBQ NACHOS, BBQ pork sandwiches, BBQ plates with open face sandwich, fries or baked potatoes, BBQ Ribs. They have local bands that play on weekends and I have really enjoyed the atmosphere. They have garage like doors that they will open in spring, fall and when weather is suitable. A real Jackson, Tennessee go to place. read more

Bakers Bros. Have totally awesome food and excellent service. Everything is optimal quality and prepared fabulously. Highly recommended.

Looking forward to my 2nd visit. I give any place new to me two tries before making a final judgement. I feel like Baker Bros. is on the cusp of being really good, but for me things were just slightly off. Good food, don't get me wrong...but could be so much better. Seasoning issues are my biggest criticism. The fried pickles & peppers are so good, but so very salty. Huge portion, very much appreciated! Just overly seasoned. I tried the potato salad. The mix of herbs in the seasoning threw me off. Couldn't put my finger on it, but something wasn't quite good for my palate. The creamy coleslaw had the opposite problem. It desperately needed seasoning or a tang of some sort. For the main event...pulled pork. It was good, but the sauce (the sweet one) left me wanting. Little too much vinegar for my liking. And not nearly enough sauce for the generous portion of meat I received on the platter. I didn't leave Baker Bros. hungry, but it did not give me the epic bbq satisfaction I was hoping for. I'm going to give it a little time and stop back by to try some other menu items. I hope they make some improvements and become a favorite local restaurant. They've got a great foundation, nice casual atmosphere. Service was good. It's definitely worth a try! read more

Food was okay service was terrible. Don't get the 1/2lb burger, you can get more meat from McDonald's

Love this place!!! I go every time I'm in town to visit my family. Amazing good, and a great caring staff, super service. You really can't go wrong here, and also super catering. 5 Stars!!! read more

Ordered their brisket a couple weeks ago and it was really good. I was told to order their ribs next time. I paid 35 dollars for ribs + 2 sides and an extra side of fries. The sides were really good. Mac and cheese extremely good. The problem is the ribs. They were frozen and microwave as shown in the picture. After the reheating process I witness them throw the ribs on a grill and finished it. The ribs were garbage. Absolutely disgusting. Besides the sides, I would wholeheartedly avoid this place! read more

Always go to Baker bros for our BBQ fix. Just a relaxing fun place to eat. Staff is always great

Went with a large group for dinner. The waiter was beyond efficient! We required separate checks per person/couples, provided without an issue. Appetizers/main course delivered with a smile. We did not have to wait for refills etc. We plan on going again very soon. Highly recommend read more

Strictly about food. I am on a search for the best pulled pork sandwich. It was ok. It wasn't special. Positive: hooch sauce is the bomb, it was hot, fresh. . Not so good: meat alone lacks flavor, very small amt of slaw (if you like slaw on ur sandwich), sandwich needs to be bigger for $7. Hubby got a polish/brisket sandwich $9. He was still hungry after eating it. It needs to come with a side or more meat. I will patronize again. I like to support local and hope they will look into the adjustments I suggested. read more

Food is subpar. No one is ever in there when I go. The staff is so friendly I enjoy talking to them. You know how you go somewhere and you're like I'm not going back but then you forget and you go back...this is that kinda place for me read more

Legit bbq joint. Real Southern classics clearly done up by folks raised on it. One of my two or three "must" stops when I'm in town. Good, youthful, contemporary vibe mixed with traditional old fashioned hospitality. read more

Tasteless and dry brisket. Actually the brisket was the worst I've ever had anywhere. This is NOT real West Tennessee bbq. This business has now bought a Southern Pride industrial bbq cooker. No pit bbq here just oven cook tasteless corporate bbq. The sides are ok but the meat doesn't resemble real put bbq and I would know. read more

Do you ever think to yourself "Self, don't you wish we could find some little hole in the wall joint where we can get amazing food and feel like you are the only one who know about it?" We THIS is the place. Simple and quick. The BBQ was great. Got a platter with brisket and pulled pork with the mild sauce. Wooooboy. It was great. Spent some time in Memphis this week and was hoping for good food and never found it. Best meal we had was a Waffle House in Mississippi. My trip can now be complete after eating at Baker Bros. It's hard to write this with these tears running down my cheek from the happiness. Also the BBQ sauce on my fingers doesn't help. The building is a cool old warehouse that is painted and Simple. Staff was great. Once they realize you appreciate their work they are friendly and talkative. It's not lunchtime so they had a bit of time. Guy recommended the Bread Bites and apologized that they were out of Apple Pie. Bread bites were fantastic. My mouth is still watering thinking about them. "Next time you can get the Apple pie". Well, now I have to come back to Jackson Tennessee to eat BBQ here. That's going to change all my plans for the future cause I HAVE to come back here. Must stop and if it's 3 hours out of your way it's with it. read more

When I moved to Tennessee from the Monterey Bay area in California, I was expecting to find great barbecue. It hasn't happened. We have been to several places and disappointed every time and Baker Brothers was no exception. I got the baby back ribs with the side of onion rings and the vinegar coleslaw. And when they said vinegar they weren't kidding, it made my mouth pucker and was hard to eat. The onion rings were probably the best thing but even they were not that good. I think there was some kind of Cajun seasoning on the breading, but the shell was hard. The baby back ribs seemed like they had been left over from another night, frozen, thawed and then heated up. They weren't falling off the bone, they were off the bone. And even the mild barbecue sauce was way too vinegary. Maybe this is just Tennessee style and I'm not used to it, but to me it just was not very good. My wife had the deep fried fish and she didn't like that either. She said they tasted like they had been frozen, thawed, and then heated up. She said that there was a rubbery crust all the way around it. She said the French fries were ordinary and she had the same vinegar slaw that I had and did not like it either. She had to add mayonnaise to it to make it edible. The atmosphere was good and the staff was friendly and had a good attitude. But they needed more help as service was slow. We felt it was better than Sam's BBQ Humboldt, but not much better. Both of these places have some great reviews, and I don't understand it. Maybe we were just expecting something different but my wife and I have been eating at restaurants for over 50 years. read more

Friday, March 5, 2021 The worst bbq I have ever had, bar none. The ribs were small and like the pulled pork had zero smoke flavor. The pulled pork was lean and tender but without any, ANY flavor. The baked beans,likewise were tasteless and without any character. My wife threw the turnip greens into the trash as they also were tasteless. I am a Kansas City bbq fan and do not like vinegar based sauces in any guise. That is my prejudice; consequently,I did not like the mild sauce at all. read more
