This was our first time at Jack's. We'd honestly planned to go to another place only to realize they'd already closed. But not a disappointment!! The food was good, not the best ever, but good. I had brisket, ribs and sausage. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Jacks Bar-B-Que - 3 meat Combo Plate with two sides - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I didn't bother to take any pictures as it was just below average food for me. I was drawn in by the billboard next to the 65 freeway. I should've used Yelp to guide me, but in this case it was simply hunger and the easiest closest route. I won't get into much but as people mentioned, not a warm and fuzzy feeling from the folks cutting your food and dishing your food out. Maybe it's just me... The cashier was pleasant. Plenty of room in the establishment. As for the food, the barbecue sauce was to me average and sort of like ketchup. The hat was not hot at all. Very small portion of meat and sides!!! I ordered the brisket sandwich for around $14 range and it was it came between two hamburger buns and in a small square Styrofoam container. I ordered a rib sandwich which was only around four small ribs. Lastly, I ordered a baked bean side. This also came in a very small round container! Come on now, beans for crying out loud. They were a little too sweet. The brisket did not have a very smoky flavor, and taste that I expected nor was a juicy. I'm not trying to complain much, but it really sounds like it I guess. All told, my bill was around $31 and sorry to say I won't be back. read more

I did a mini barbecue tour in Nashville, which included Jack's. I like this location as there is free parking. I tried going downtown and it was a little crazy. This location also has a drive through. I ordered a half rack of ribs. The ribs were ok but the standout was the sauce bar... see picture. It's like a create your own BBQ adventure. Very fun and they describe what every sauce is and where it originated. Pies are also offered but I did not buy one. Casua. Good service. Plenty of free parking. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

This location has just been disappointing lately. I don't normally give out 2 star reviews but this is fitting. The food is good, I won't take that away from them and I am giving a honest review. Customer service has changed a lot. It went from being pleasant as you would expect with almost 30$ plates, to a "I don't care to be here" attitude. I'm not going to get specific about a particular situation, I don't have any intention on getting anyone specific in trouble. It is just my honest review and this is a place I do NOT recommend. There is another location that actually treats you like a paying customer, doesn't have attitudes, actually acknowledges you, and doesn't talk to you like your interrupting their day when asking you "what do you want"? Food is good, customer service is terrible, tables are genuinely clean, just not a place I would go back to or recommend at all. I don't ask for much at all, I just don't know how any company can stay in business when operating this way. read more

Togo review: Overall visit 8/10 Order: 2 meat plate comes with 2 sides The meats were good definitely hit the craving however everything was lukewarm and I'm only a 6 min drive from the location. The sides were basic Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and baked beans. The baked beans however were so good! Service was polite are quick. The best part was that they have a drive thru! read more

We visited Jack's on our recent trip to Nashville. Jack's was recommended to us by several locals. Jack's did not disappoint. I chose the smoked turkey sandwich with corn and Mac and cheese as sides. The smoked turkey was amazing and paired well with their mustard based BBQ sauce. The corn was creamy and sweet, while the Mac & Cheese was the perfect amount of cheesy goodness. My husband chose the pork ribs, greens and beans which he enjoyed as well! We would definitely go back and eat here again! read more

I went to the one downtown when I was here last year. I didn't remember the name only the location. When I came back this year I couldn't find it but after a little research found out it was Jacks and there were 2 other locations!! My husband and I love this place so much. We get the ribs and the meat is the best! Falls off the bone. The sides are amazing too. 10/10 read more

Jack's Bar-B-Que is a great option for barbecue if you are on this side of Nashville, Tennessee. The place has a great ambiance and vibe for a barbecue restaurant. You know the type, kind of a hole-in-the-wall type place with an eclectic mix of bric-a-brac adorning the walls and they have the prerequisite pig statue. The ordering process is pretty simple. You go.up to the counter and order your meal, they fill your plate, you pay and either take it to-go or sit at a table and enjoy the feast. I went with the pulled pork dinner and for my two sides, I went with turnip greens and potato salad. I also went with Texas toast. I also went over and tried quite a few of their barbecue sauces. They have a table with their sauces available. The pork was fantastic and the sides were pretty good, as well. The staff was friendly and again, the ambiance was definitely enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Jack's Bar-B-Que and I give it five stars. read more

The best brisket sandwich I think I've ever had. It was absolutely delicious. The guys working were extremely prideful in their work and a great experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I've been coming to this location for 15 years. I can't believe the experience I had today. I was served some completely dry brisket and burnt turkey. The woman behind the cash register could have treated a roach running through the restaurant better. Apparently, as the prices go up the quality and service go down. read more

Great BBQ spot. Variety of sauces, including white. Pork sandwich is good. Had the smoked sausage today and it was pretty good. Potato salad is just ok IMO (little bland). Overall good place with great, kind service. read more

Jacks Bar-B-Que - Smoked sausage sandwich with potato salad. Sausage was good. Potato salad was ok (little bland). - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

went in at a very slow time. Ordered food but they packed it to go. I did not ask for that. Cashier was playing with his phone so wasn't interested in me asking questions as a first time guest. Food portions very good, food was good. Cafeteria style but everything isn't obvious when you go in even though it is "out in the open." read more

Wow! Just moved here and have never heard of this place but will be a regular now! From the second you step inside you are hit with the smells of all the flavors and the customer service was amazing! Everything tasted fresh and so flavorful! read more

Stopped here on our way back to New Orleans from Louisville. Food was amazing! We had the ribs, brisket, greens, yams and apples (yum!) Service was quick, place clean and price very reasonable. Perfect spot for our BBQ fix passing through. read more

Had the ribs, brisket, Mac and cheese, greens, baked beans, smoked sausage, and potato salad. To start off the ribs were DELICIOUS! Very flavorful and just overall good. The brisket was tough, dry, and no flavor. Had a great smoke ring but other than that not good. The baked beans weren't my favorite because it tasted like they had jalapeño in them which I'm not a fan of. The potato salad was good. Overall I liked it and would recommend it! read more

The ribs are the best and the barbecue sauce is like the best, I ordered to go but everything was ready when I got there and the host was very pleasant. If you're happy with your barbecue don't go here because once you do you will be hooked , best barbecue ever!! read more

Always amazing BBQ and the mashed potatoes and macaroni are also great. Anytime we are wanting bbq as a family this is where we go

Talk about down home mom and pop BBQ!! This food was spot on some of the best BBQ I have ever tasted! The staff were friendly and courteous. The food was served up hot and ready. The sides were delicious!! The seating was comfortable and the atmosphere was unique I. That even if you didn't know someone, you were still sitting with friends. read more

hey for a few years the charlotte location has been your best location to me. actually it still is, but, the last 2 times i have been by, the ribs have not been the same. please , please go back to cooking them longer. i, and others, desire tender ribs. after working 12 hours, i dont desire to go home and cook your ribs for another 30 to 45 mins. please let me know if you choose to continue the new way you are cooking your ribs. not happy right now that i will have to go home and re-cook food that i have paid good money for. i will come back and add a picture. read more

The place was clean and well lit, the service was quick and efficient. We ordered the three meat platters, which consisted of beef brisket, sausage and pork shoulder. The beef brisket and sausage were decent but the pork was dry and lukewarm, not very hot. read more

Had a long day. Decided to stop at Jacks on the way home so as not to cook. At drive through I ordered plate-- St Louis Ribs with potato salad, apples, and Texas toast. Food smelled good on the drive home. Open the container to eat after I got home. Ribs were as I ordered. However instead of the requested sides/bread as listed above the box contained macaroni and cheese, green beans, and corn bread. I loathe all three of these items. Had no intention of driving back out tonight. Too mad to eat. Threw the 3 unwanted items in the trash. Put meat in the fridge. Pissed. With tip cost was $26+. My fault for not looking at container before pulling off. Won't be back. I surely miss Mary's Pit Barbecue on Jefferson Street! read more

Food was not good :( pulled pork was tasteless. the bbq sauce we tried tasted like hot ketchup. mac and cheese mushy and overcooked. did not eat most of it, and we tried a lot of things. read more

We landed in Nashville and wanted local BBQ. A local that we met at the airport recommended Jack's as "the best bbq in Nashville." She was right! My man had ribs, they were seasoned to perfection and perfectly cooked, falling off the bone. I had chicken and it was equally cooked to perfection and juicy. Delicious! We tried the green beans, coleslaw and Mac and cheese. Nothing disappointed. I highly recommend Jack's! read more

The best bbq in Nashville! Their brisket melts in your mouth! It's amazing! Love all of their sides, too! Always great service!

If you haven't tried there brisket you have too. It's so good. Their corn is amazing also. Don't leave without getting the mashed potatoes with gravy. read more

We stopped on the way through town! Fast and convenient!! The food was great! We had the Brisket, green beans, and baked beans. Also the homemade banana pudding was to die for!! read more

I stopped in this Jacks Bar-B-Que location while visiting Nashville for the weekend (From NC). The location was very convenient to our hotel. Being from NC, there is a plethora of good Bar-B-Que, but I know Tennessee also has some good Que so I was intrigued. I ordered the pork BBQ sandwich with a side of potato salad. The sandwich was very good and they have a lot of different sauces you can add to it if you wish. I liked the potato salad also. They have other sides to choose from which looked great such as the baked beans and mac and cheese. I wanted another side, but since they are a la carte and it would have been a bit pricey for lunch. Overall I think Jacks Bar-B-Que was a good choice for a BBQ lunch in Nashville. read more

A must stop place for me any time I'm in Nashville!! By far my favorite bbq place in all of TN!! Their Carolina and TN bbq sauce is amazing. Husband and I shared the brisket plate. Plenty of food for us to share. Normally I get my own plate and don't share but we were on a road trip and didn't want to over eat. I've been to both the broadway location and this location. Both places are clean. Will gladly continue to stop by any time I'm in the area!!! read more

Great food. Staff ans customers were super friendly, and the food was delicious. Would eat again and again.

I've tried many of the well known bbq joints in nashville and this place is heads and tails above the other bbq restaurants. I had the brisket and it was phenomenal. I tend to stay away from brisket bc it's dry but this was outstanding. Their sausage is well known and a cult favorite. Their chicken is also darn good! They have about 6 different bbq sauces to chose from as well and all of them were great! read more

Had a great lunch here the other day while working with a business partner in the area. My friend was from South Jersey and wanted to try some good Tennessee BBQ so we came here for Brisket and he loved it. The only downside is that they cut the fat off of the brisket (at least our pieces) before serving us, but it was still very good read more

Overall a place I would go to if I lived in the area. The place was very clean and this was around 1:30 pm after the lunch rush. I stepped up to the counter and It took a few minutes to be greeted. The meat carver seemed annoyed that I even walk in. I ordered a three meat plate of brisket, pork and sausage. The meats, brisket and sausage were cut into very inconsistent and odd shapes. The pork was very moist and delicious 4.5 out of 5. The Sausage was my favorite of all the meats, it had a nice taste of smoke with a good snap from the outer casing 5 out of 5. For me the brisket was fall apart tender,like pot roast, I like mine with a little chew or pull to it and I also felt it lack seasoning 3.5 out of 5. I got two sides with my plate, the mac-n-cheese which was very creamy, the way I like it and not dry at all but needed seasoning to make not taste so bland, 4 out of 5. I also had a side of turnip greens that were tender and delicious, but I needed to add some hot sauce for my liking 4.5 out of 5 This was all served with cornbread probable the driest, most dense cornbread I every had, In fact I could not eat more than a couple of bites, 1 out of 5. All the BBQ sauces that I tried were delicious, well balanced and not over powering to the meats 4.5 out of 5. Will stop in again my next time through town. read more
