    Before: 2 meat combo with h baby back ribs and tri tip
    Erika A.

    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

    Full baby back rib dinner with mac n cheese and greens ($35.99)

    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!!

    Delicious peach cobbler

    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.

    Baby back ribs, cold slaw, baked beans and cornbread muffins.

    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.

    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.

    Stopped by a BBQ spot off the Blvd and it did not disappoint! Delicious smoked brisket, tri-tip, and St. Louis ribs with great sides. If you're craving some bomb BBQ, definitely check them out. Employees are amazing.

    Ribs, collard greens and baked beans
    Bruce J.

    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.

    Cracker Jacks BBQ! Omg hands down best bbq I've had here in the Antelope Valley. NO SAUCE NEEDED HERE! Just pure flavor. Had the St Louis ribs and the brisket and the Dino ribs and was absolutely delicious and tender. I'm a hard one to please when it comes to bbq and let's just say I was extremely pleased. Will for sure come back to this place. It's in Lancaster just off the BLVD oh and the banana pudding and brownie ice cream so good!

    Catfish, corn bread, greens, Mac and cheese, baked beans and potato salad.

    My husband happened to come across Cracker Jacks when looking for somewhere for us to eat. I am so happy he did. Everything was soooooo good. I can't wait to go back. My catfish was awesome and hubby loved his tri tip.

    Hush puppies
    Mary D.

    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.

    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.

    Tri-tip !!!

    We first visited Lucky Luke about two weeks ago at the Palmdale location for bingo night, and we…read morehad such a fun time! Since it was our first visit, we walked up to the bar and explained that we're not IPA fans and asked if we could sample a few beers. The staff was super friendly and happy to let us try different options. We ended up really liking the Waterfront Lager and ordered micheladas. Their michelada mix is AMAZING. The Palmdale location is drinks only (no food), but the atmosphere and service made for a really fun night. Fast forward to yesterday. My husband and I had a date night and remembered how much we liked the beer, so we decided to check out the Lancaster location since they also serve food. When we walked in, the place was packed and there were only two girls working the entire floor. Even though they were clearly super busy, they were still very friendly and upfront that there would be about a 15-minute wait for a table. We appreciated the honesty, so we waited patiently and eventually got seated. We found out that the Lancaster location doesn't always have the same beers as the Palmdale brewery location, so unfortunately they didn't have the Waterfront Lager we loved. We were a little bummed, but our waitress gladly brought us samples so we could find something else we liked. We ended up ordering a lighter blonde beer since many of the others were too hoppy for our taste. We also tried their handmade mango and pineapple micheladas and WOW! both were so good. The food was delicious too. We ordered the totchos (loaded tator tots), 6-piece hot wings, and the Asian sliders. Everything came out fresh and flavorful. Even though they were slammed busy, the waitresses continued checking on us regularly throughout the night. Overall, it ended up being a really great date night. The ambiance is casual, fun, and welcoming, and both locations gave us excellent service. Lucky Luke is definitely going to become one of our regular date night spots moving forward!

But the food Is banging. I ordered a cherry malt which is not something you can find everywhere and boy did they deliver. Lots of flavor. It just pops.

Ted's has been flippin' burgers since 1955 when you could snag one for just nineteen cents (can we bring that back?). It's changed names more than a pop star rebrand--Kay's, Jolly Jax, Walz Hr No. 1, Syd's--and finally landed as the White House on Division Street. Iconic, right? I mentioned to my best friend that I'd been dying to try it--she immediately lit up like it was memory lane and started reminiscing about corndogs and fries with her grandma. And let me tell you, she wasn't lying: THEY. DID. NOT. MISS. This place has been on my foodie to-do list for three whole years and guess what? 2025 is my year, baby! I finally pulled up for lunch and let me just say--it was love at first bite. I ordered a corn dog, fries, and a taco (yes, a taco!) all for under 10 bucks. It was hot, fresh, fast, and full of flavor. No frills, just good food done right. If you're all about supporting local spots with soul and a slice of history, do yourself a favor and swing by. Ted's isn't just a drive-in--it's a whole Antelope Valley rite of passage. I'm officially a believer... and already planning my next trip back!
