I had this delicious tri-tip sandwich.... OMG SO GOOD. It was flavorful, I tried all the sauces, hell fire is the right amount of spice! The service was excellent and the music and ambiance was perfect. We will be back and gotta try the peach cobbler! Yum yum yum. Forgot to take pictures womp womp! read more

Great BBQ tri-tip was on point. Family owned and owner stops by each table to check on his guest. I'm glad we stopped by on a random Thursday for lunch Would highly recommend read more

10/10 BBQ spot. We ordered the full rack of baby back ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and wedge fries and everything was on point. The ribs were tender and packed with flavor on their own, but the three house sauces really took it to another level. The Tangy Gold, Hell Fire Hot BBQ, and Cracker Jacks BBQ all had their own distinct flavor and made it fun to switch it up with each bite. The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, and the wedge fries were perfectly crispy and somehow stayed hot the entire meal (which never happens). The restaurant has a cool, classic BBQ vibe inside -- clean, welcoming, and comfortable. The owner/chef even came out to greet us and check on everything, which says a lot about how much they care. Our server was great and checked on us consistently without being overbearing. Easy 10/10. Definitely coming back. read more

Got some food to go, and most of it was disappointing. The meat on the brisket sandwich was tough and tasted old. The pork sandwich was not hot and the bread was soggy with too much sauce. The peach cobbler looked like someone had scraped the bottom of a pie dish. It was a little bit of undercooked dough and a couple of small pieces of peach. We threw it away. We really want to support local-owned businesses, but at your price point, you need to do better. read more

Super friendly reception! We went in on a Yelp search. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!! We got the brisket dinner and the meat was fantastic! Did Mac & cheese and baked beans as sides. They'd been super busy on this Friday evening and were out of a number of items. We look forward to returning to try some of their other items! read more

Food was delicious. Came to the BLVD for the 5 de mayo and unsure of what we wanted to eat came accross Cracker Jacks and it was a great choice. Delicious and Chariann was very kind! I got the 2 meat combo with baby back ribs and tri tip, Mac n cheese and coleslaw for my sides and hubby got a brisket dinner with bbq beans and mashed potatoes. Chicken tenders and fries for the kids. Both dinners came with corn bread. Everything was delicious read more

I was in town for work and am so glad that I got the chance to try this place. My mom and I shared a full baby back rib dinner ($35.99) with a side of Mac n cheese and collard greens. I loved all their varieties of homemade bbq sauces to go with the ribs! The sides were also EXCELLENT; I'm a sucker for some good pot liquor! They also included a cornbread muffin, and it was so good that it had me wondering if that's how cornbread is supposed to taste (now I know what I've been missing out on all my life). The portion was huge, too; we ended up having to take half the ribs to-go. The service was some of the best I have ever had. The workers were so kind, and our waitress went out of her way to find some lemon for my mom's hot water. She even offered a teabag on the house. I would love to come back and bring my husband one day! Highly recommend if you are in the Lancaster area! I wish we had one of these in OC!! read more

Cracker Jacks Barbecue - Full baby back rib dinner with mac n cheese and greens ($35.99) - Barbeque Near Me - Lancaster, California

I went to go eat for lunch at a place but unfortunately they had an emergency closed up so I searched on Yelp for local barbecue. Cracker Jack's barbecue showed up. I wasn't even aware that it was in my neighborhood. What a wonderful happenstance because the BBQ was fantastic. I have to admit their potato salad is just like my mamas. I had mac & cheese very well seasoned and brisket of beef on some white bread that just sucked up all the juices along with some cornbread and I had the regular house barbecue sauce and hellfire. They were both amazing and finger looking good. I will definitely be back next time i'm craving some BBQ!!! I'll take the time to eat there because the decor was on spot with some good tunes. I'm so glad you're in the neighborhood Cracker Jacks Barbecue I will be back. read more

Hands down the best BBQ joint in the AV. Had the baby backs with baked beans, cold slaw and cornbread. Meat was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Sauce wasn't as hot as I thought it would be with the name, "Hellfire." However, it was delicious and had an after-burn effect. Portion sizes were just right and prices were very reasonable. The co-owner, Marshall came over and greeted my wife and I and made us feel welcome. We were on date night, but we will be bringing the whole fam back to experience this incredible food. read more

Saw this new place on social media and decided to give it a try. The customer service was amazing, the people are very friendly and attentive. One of the owners came and introduced themselves and made sure everything was ok. We got two of the meat plates with different meats and 6 different sides. Everything was so good, the meat didn't even need sauce and was nice and tender. The wedges, mac and collard greens were my favorite sides. The coleslaw and potato salad were really good too. We ended our night with a warm peach cobbler and I would order again, and again. read more

This place is amazing. The service was fantastic, The food was delicious and the owner Raymond is very friendly. I had the baby back ribs, collard greens, baked beans and potatoes wedges. The potato wedges were for an appetizer and were delicious with a salty & sweet taste. The ribs were done to perfection in and were very meaty. The collard greens had a lot of flavor. I highly recommend this place. Coveralls they sometimes run out of the ribs. We were there at 5PM and got the last full rack. read more

First apologies for no pictures. This food was so good I completely forgot to take pictures. Let me start off by saying the customer service the day i visited was excellent. The young lady who helped me was helpful, very sweet and polite. I ordered Brisket dinner with greens and bake beans. The amount of food given was appreciated. The brisket needed seasoning however when paired with the bbq sauce it became a smash. The greens were absolutely delicious and the bake beans had a lil twist on them that I loved. Definitely will be back to try the wings and a few other sides. read more

We tried this place today. The owners were phenomenal. They greeted us at our table. Answered all of our questions. They even asked us what types of appetizers we would be interested in seeing on the menu. When we said hush puppies and fried green tomatoes, they worked their magic and produced them. The hush puppies were so good. Reminded me of dining in South Carolina. Fried green tomatoes were also very tasty. I got the brisket with Mac n cheese and potato salad. Very flavorful. We will be returning. read more

Cracker Jacks Barbecue - Hush puppies - Barbeque Near Me - Lancaster, California

It's 5pm February 7, and it's my 1 time eating here. I ordered the full rack baby back ribs, and macaroni cheese and hush puppies and collard greens. All and all the food we ate was just mediocre. The place was good our server was nice, she was doing most of the work. But there is this young black girl who is 1 of the owners daughter, she is so freaking lazy. She acts like a diva, not helping the staff. I suggest the owners she fire her asap. Just because of the owner's daughter who works there, I will not be coming back. So if you go there be prepared to wait a long time for them to take your order. The pork ribs was not fall of the bones. Lots of luck to the new ones of the place. Chow. read more

This was my first time here we came to celebrate my father's 90th birthday. The food was great. The only exception to the taste of the ribs was I could taste smoke on the ribs. They're still good, but I probably would prefer not as much smoke on my ribs, the ribs were tender. the baby back ribs were beautiful. I had catfish. I was expecting the catfish in filet. I got nuggets . My sister had the baby back ribs. My father had the tri-tip and my brother had the brisket beef all were great. We all ordered extra food to go since I don't live out in Lancaster, but I did enjoy the dinner. The owner was very pleasant and took my critique very well. Hopefully the next visit I will equally enjoy and will improve even more. read more

The RIBS (BabyBacks) are so good! I just wish they were a little more Tender! And the owner keeps checking on you to see if everything is ok and how are they doing so far! Service is GREAT! It's soooo Cute inside and not loud at all! Your eyes get glued to all the interesting Art/Signs on the wall! I will definitely be back! read more

Lancaster has something new, and it's special! Heard about this place through a Facebook post, so we decided to stop by and we were absolutely blown away! The food was incredible, and the service was just as great. Jasmine took great care of us, and one of the owners (shout out to Chi-Town) came around to every table to check in. Super friendly and welcoming vibe all around. I ordered the two-meat combo with baby back ribs and short ribs, plus collard greens and garlic mashed potatoes -- it also came with cornbread. My wife went with the St. Louis ribs and brisket with mac & cheese and coleslaw. She went all out and added fries and potato salad, so we pretty much tried the whole menu . Everything was perfectly seasoned, the meat was tender, and every bite was delicious. Just when we thought we couldn't eat any more, they brought out the peach cobbler with ice cream, definitely a must-try! Great food, great people, and great vibes. Lancaster really needed a spot like this! read more
