The food was great, very delicious with a beautiful view, we got the meat platter with some extra sides and the service was AMAZING, Rachael was very accommodating and seriously the kindest. We left without our food (total mistake on our part), and she saved it for us. She didn't have to, but she did. We greatly appreciated it. People like her make you want to come back. Jack's was a great choice for a birthday celebration! read more

this is the BEST place to eat in lake Elsinore. My husband and I just moved here 3 weeks ago from Los Angeles. We had lived there for over 10 years and were nervous to come out to lake Elsinore as LA notoriously has so many good options! After scouting all the different areas, we've found jacks (as per recommendations from a lot of the other spots around here) and it was literally incredible! It even blew my parents away who are usually pretty critical tbh! Our service was amazing! Top tier service from Mia who even had made our sauces for us. We can't wait to come back. The ambiance is amazing, the views are incredible, the service is impeccable and we can't wait to meet Ava Thanks so much Mia! We can't wait to come back! read more

We love going to Jacks. The food is alway great and the service is always amazing. We had Liz as our server and she was absolutely fantastic! Very attentive, extremely outgoing, great personality. Liz made our Monday night dinner go from just another dinner to a wonderful memory. Cant wait to go back! Thanks Liz! read more

The Bar-B-Que at Jack's BBQ was deliciously tender and tasty. We ordered the 5 meat platter and although it came with 2 sides.. we ordered 2 additional sides. We weren't disappointed. The service provided by Rachael was outstanding. She was professional, very attentive, and friendly. She took care of our every needs. The restaurant was clean and the people dining were nice and it sits right in front of Lake Elsinore and although we didn't get a window table we were still able to enjoy the view. Maybe we can get a window table with the view next time we visit. We went at a perfect time because it does get full. No reservations were necessary for us. Even better...my wife and I were able to walk down to the shore of the lake and share a few special moments together. We're making sure to put it on our list for dining for the next time that we stay at Lake Elsinore. read more

My husband and I visited Jack's Bar-B-Q a few weeks ago and had no idea this little gem was in Lake Elsinore. We're so glad we found it! The service was great, the food was delicious, and the drinks were just as good. Plus, the little beach view makes the whole vibe even better. read more

If you're looking for BBQ that's deeply savory, smoky, and tender (but not mushy), unfortunately you won't find it here. The ribs were tough and didn't seem seasoned through, each bite was difficult to chew. The rib tips were also dry and tough; I honestly couldn't get a fork through them. The meat relied heavily on sauce for flavor and lacked that marinated, well-seasoned taste you expect from good BBQ. That said, the sides were a pleasant surprise. The mac and cheese was creamy with a nice smoky flavor, and the potato salad was good too. I ended up ordering the bacon cheeseburger after the ribs, and it was actually really good. read more

I am apologizing ahead of time - I didn't take any pictures because the food looked so good, we could barely wait to dig in! Jack's is amazing. From the service, to the ambiance, to the food. Prices are reasonable. Our waitress, Kelly, was super helpful, friendly and attentive. I had a new drink refill before I even finished the current one. The food was fresh, tasty and literally amazing. The view - beautiful! Super cute spot on Lake Elsinore. We will recommend this spot to everyone. We will definitely be back. Go. Here. Now. read more

Rachael made us feel at home as soon as we walked in. Put in our drink order first as there is sometimes a back up at the bar...We saw lots of smiling faces from both management and staff. Another server stopped by the table to see if we were ready, but we waited til the drinks arrived to look at the menu. Noticed they may have run out of Dry Ice for the watermelonRita but so delicious (as always) Food is always off the charts! read more

I heard about Jacks BBQ on Lake Elsinore so tried it with some family members. It's right on the lake with large windows so a good view at any table. It's rustic and casual. We had lunch around 1:30 so was able to get a table by the window. I ordered the French Dip with Au Jus. I had a choice of Tri tip or brisket, I got the Tri tip, sides are extra. I wish the Au Jus had more flavor but was still good and filling. The other dishes that was ordered was fish and chips and the Monster Burger. The people liked their meal. They have a large beach area with picnic tables which be great in warm weather. read more

It's been a couple of years since we've eaten here and we were so impressed by the coconut shrimp we enjoyed the brisket stew and all of the meats. I really liked the tri tips peppery-burnt bark! I also liked the veggies being BBQ'd and not steamed. My husband and I enjoyed an amazing date night. We split this sampler platter where you have all the meats and pick your sides. I was also impressed with the red Cadillac, a spin of my usual drink Everything was great the service, food, and of course the views thanks Jack's BBQ for bringing good BBQ to my little ole' hometown read more

Staff is super friendly and service is quick. We got both the pork and beef ribs. Personally I liked the pork ribs better as it fell off the bone. Beef ribs were okay. Very chewy, tough and hard to come off bone. Corn Bread: Flavorful but texture is off. I wish it would stick together more than just break apart so easily. Sides: highly recommend the baked beans, Mac n cheese and the corn especially! They were so good. Price was very fair and overall a great place to bring a large group. read more

We had a really wonderful experience here this evening and are so glad we found this restaurant. Brittney truly made our night. She had such a cheerful, upbeat personality and made us feel welcome right away, like we were regulars or old friends. She was constantly smiling, joking, and helping make the experience fun, while also being very attentive even though the restaurant was busy. We had a hard time deciding what to order, and Brittney made some excellent recommendations that we were really happy with. The BBQ was seriously melt in your mouth good, the sweet BBQ sauce was amazing, and the drinks were great as well. Overall, this was such a nice date night experience. We do not live close, so unfortunately we probably will not be back often, but we were really grateful to spend our evening here and would absolutely recommend giving it a try. read more

Everything was excellent!!! I enjoyed the view setting sun and water . What more could you want? Also good music.

Took my mother here for Mothers Day. We got the FAMILY DEAL for $110 but we paid an extra $10 to make one of the ribs beef instead of pork. It came with 2 full racks of ribs, fries and 4 sides which were beans, mac n cheese, potato salad and coleslaw. The beef ribs and pork ribs were delicious. Their barbecue sauce hit the spot! I mixed original and hot together and thats what I loved most. The atmosphere is really nice. You can see the entire lake with their tall open windows. The service was top notch. I forgot the ladies name (Seemed like the manager on duty) unfortunately but everyone was very assertive. Highly recommend this spot. Definitely a hidden GEM! read more

We tried Jack's BBQ (early on St Patty's Day b4 the crowds) after lots of people telling us about it... and it definitely lived up to its Fandom. You cant beat the lake view and outdoor seating and beach; but what made our day was Michelle - the bartender!! The service and her je ne said quoi was the clencher. Its now a regular spot and a place to bring friends. read more

Been hearing great things about Jack's BBQ so we decided to try it out today after the gym. This is a great lake-front location w a stunning view of Lake Elsinore! Parking is in a private dirt lot to the south side of the restaurant. There's also plenty of additional outside seating below the restaurant, as well as picnic tables along the beach. We ordered a full rack of beef ribs, half lb of brisket, large side of mac n cheese, large side of potato salad, and brussel sprouts. The food presentation was excellent and looked very appetizing. The beef ribs were good, but could have had more meat on them. The brisket was good. The sides were good as well (I added a little salt to bring out the flavors). We liked the brussel sprouts the most. We tried all 3 of their BBQ sauces (Original, Sweet, and Hot). All were good and goes well w the beef ribs and brisket. Sara was our server and took good care of us. She kept coming back to check on us ensuring we were good. Overall a really great BBQ spot w a gorgeous view and nice to hangout at the beach right after to enjoy the view. read more

So i went here today and was truly disappointed with my food quality. I've been here before and didn't have the same issue the first time. First, if your ordering to go im sure there's an extra tax your charged. My side of coleslaw was $9 (on the menu it says $6 and my meal was $39 on the menu but rang up as $46). A 10% takeout fee is sickening ! What's the point besides to run people off some of us are on our lunch and can't eat in so we get charged extra make it make sense. And to be charged twice the 10% fee because i added coleslaw is just taking advantage of the paying customer. My baked beans were soo thick I couldn't even eat them, Im not sure if they were old or what but flavor wise they were a 2/10. So they went straight to the trash. The French fries were 10/10 I can't lie. They were delicious. The only reason I'd come back. The chicken was dry so i added the bbq sauce to attempt to save it. It was flavorful so I'll give that a 7/10. The tri tip, shredded beef and brisket were DRY. I mean ridiculously dry im pretty sure my food was old because that would be the only excuse for the way it looked and tasted. 1/10 it was like beef jerky . I feel ripped off. You can look at the pictures of the meat I provided , to serve someone dried out meat is crazy ! read more
