I have been here a couple times. The ribs are good. The parking is not good during the busy times. There are not a lot of choices for bbq on the east side. This is out of the way but usually worth the drive read more

Ooo boy! We gotta BBQ joint in the BelRed! Came in on a Friday evening just before the 6 pm rush and seated promptly at a half booth table. There's music and TVs around the place. Friendly waitress who was always attentive and around when we needed her. Sauce on the table, check! We ordered the Picnic - We want to sample everything and see what's our fave. Teens didn't want to share so one ordered the steak dinner with Texas Chili (nice & meaty) and the MacNcheese. Other teen went with the brisket plate, cornbread (smooth like corncake and smothered in honey butter) and MacNcheese. The Picnic: 2 sausages for which we picked jalapeño cheese, half a chicken, brisket, pork ribs, and a nice pile of pulled pork. We paired it with garlic mash, garlic chili green beans, coleslaw, and collard greens. The meats - wow! Nicely done. I'm always impressed when a BBQ joint does chicken well. They brine it, folks! Yes!!!! That's the key to moist chicken. Sorry, I said meats and started talking about fowl, but it's a great indicator. Now, it was smart of my teen to get the brisket plate for himself because that's the first thing that disappeared from the Picnic tray. I seriously cannot wait to try their burnt ends next time. Brisket, check! Pulled pork - moist and savory with a couple crispy edges - Check. Piled high, check check! Oh I almost forgot, you get a basket of fixin's to include fresh quick pickles, onions, jalapeños, and sliced bread. The sides: Collard greens were fantastic with chunky meat surprises, lots of flavor. Texas chili with nice heat and chunks of meat, topped with cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Cornbread was heavenly and enough to share. Green beans (seasonal) were tasty, cooked just right with some crisp left. Coleslaw is creamy and savory, pairs well with the BBQ. Mash was a bit thin for my taste. And the Mac was a bit dry. Those were our only misses, but I don't come to BBQ for the sides. It's great when there's a winning side, don't get me wrong, and there's plenty of sides here to pick from. You won't leave hungry! My teens cleared their steak and brisket. And, We took a significant amount of the Picnic home. Thrilled to have leftover yummy BBQ for the next day. I should mention that we were also checked on by the owner and manager separately who were pleasant to talk to and attentive. We are thrilled Jack's is here in BelRed. Look forward to returning. EDIT TO ADD: Somehow I didn't mention the pork ribs properly. They were meaty, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. Delish!!! Sorry I don't know how I forgot to elaborate. read more

Used to go to the ones in Seattle (the south Seattle one right before Georgetown - the big one; and the one in SLU) all the time. Greatness. But now that there's one close to home in Bellevue, we order here quite a bit, including via Uber Eats. I pretty much stick to the brisket and order the collard greens by the quart. By the quart! Literally! Yes, there's not much real competition here in the PNW for collard greens, but the version Jack's makes is legit. read more

We went there on Saturday night for birthday celebration. The parking was complimentary and the location was convenient. When we walked in, ambiance was laidback and smoky aroma was filled in the air. Server was attentive despite being busy. We ordered some appetizers, hush puppies, fried pickles, drinks, double trouble and bbq sandwich. Everything was delicious. I recently returned from Texas and very impressed how legit of the brisket was here. Great experience!! We will definitely come back! read more

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and finally got the chance to try the food through a massive catering order. I got a little sample of basically everything, and can definitely say that the quality is there. Out of all the items I tried, my favorites were the brisket, hot link sausage, and the chicken (surprisingly). The ribs were good though a bit bland for me, and the pulled pork was great with the sauce. I looooved the jalapeno sauce which I thought was so much better than the original sauce. Their potato salad was also quite good along with the sage sausage. I wasn't the biggest fan of the beans though. If you're craving bbq, Jack's is a great spot for it. You get your whole spread of everything with a fantastic sauce! read more

Service was very friendly, but a tad slow. It took about 10 minutes from ordering to get our drinks. The real issue is calling yourself Texas BBQ and putting a sugary substance on sweet pickles and calling them fried pickles, the okra was cut length wise so the breading falls off or it's too thin and dissolves the okra and putting sliced tomatoes for unknown reasons. The brisket was decent flavor but that's where it ended. The ribs had a weird plastic flavor to the point I took one bite and put it down, the cornbread was cold, the Mac and cheese was okay but didn't state there would be onions and jalapeños in it. Overall as a Texan this was a huge disappointment. read more

We're BIG fans of authentic hill country Texas BBQ. While the slab of brisket I was served was okay, I think Dickie's is better. The BBQ sauce was unremarkable and nothing like College Station. The coleslaw was unrecognizable and inedible. The garlic mashed potatoes--way too much garlic. And then we found out they only take credit. We pay in cash for a litany of reasons. They compromised and let us give them exact change. read more

The food was amazing and because the waitress took a little longer getting out drinks which was no problem to us she gave us a free dessert each we will go sure be dinning here again ! read more

I didn't know Jack's Bbq had a spot off BelRrd road, but checked this out after seeing it today. The sides that my son and I got were all very good, but I felt like the Brisket was lacking taste. I think the BBQ at Jack's in SODO is better. Our sever was very good, but there was another server that seemed a little too loud. SRV photo on the side was cool though. How can you not like a place that has a picture of Stevie Ray Vaughn. read more

Great place to have bbq. Service was too good and the ambiance was too beautiful. Loved the flavors

I love their beef ribs. Too bad it's only on Thursdays. Service is ok ambience is ok. Taste of the food makes it up for it all!

As a Texan (and Aggie whoop) it's been a while since I've had some good BBQ. Jack's definitely hit the spot. I almost forgot I was in WA because it felt like TX in there! My husband and I went on Friday night around 6pm and it was packed. We only waited 5 minutes for a booth though. Once seated, our waiter was so friendly and attentive. I got the smoked sweet tea which was very refreshing! It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me and I liked the smoky taste. We ordered the queso and chips and they added the brisket on for us since there was a bit of a wait for the food. I'm so glad they added the brisket because we would've missed out! It was a delicious appetizer and we ate it up so fast. I got the brisket sandwich with queso Mac and cheese and my husband got the brisket plate with the Mac and mashed potatoes. Both plates were great portions, the brisket plate came with 4 strips of brisket and after the queso my husband was only able to finish half! The Mac and cheese wasn't what we expected but we ended up loving it. It had a tiny bit of a kick! The mashed potatoes were the favorite between the two sides though. They were so smooth and creamy! Overall, we will definitely be coming back regularly! read more

Jack has done it again!! I was lucky enough to attend his soft opening in the old Mayuri location that he has gussied up to feel like an upscale Texas BBQ joint. The food and service could not have been better. Yes, it was a soft opening, but I've never been to a perfectly executed one. This was seamless and the food was cooked perfectly with a full house and a lot of turnover. The staff encouraged us to challenge the kitchen and over order. We did and we ate most of it. What we didn't was eaten the next day as leftovers. The brisket, ribs, sausage, pork, hush puppies, and everything else in the photos was perfectly, prepared, smoked and juicy. The Texas caviar is always one of my favs at his places. The bartenders are clearly top notch as well. Fantastic Manhatten! The good news with this location is the opening GM lives 5 minutes away and plans to spend her foreseeable future ensuring Bellevue has a real BBQ joint that meets the expectations set at this opening. Really grateful this opened and now I can save the trek across the bridge to the Sodo location! read more

My favorite, local BBQ joint has opened on the eastside! WOOT! I was ecstatic to hear that Jack's BBQ was taking over the old Mayuri restaurant along Bel-Red road, as I anticipated an opening ever since it had its pop-up location in Bellevue during COVID. Now, it's finally here. My partner and I visited Jack's BBQ during opening day where we talked to the man himself, Jack! He was there, very hospitable and friendly, greeting guests and clearing tables. We visited during dinner time and the place was packed. We were able to snag a seat outside on the patio where it's dog friendly and there's cornhole. Like ol' Texas style, I love that the tables were picnic style outside. Inside, it's plenty of booth seating with a small bar area. The menu features a lot more than its OG location in SODO, as it incorporates what's offered at SODO and Algona. Therefore, you have the classic BBQ entrees, along with steaks, sandwiches, and breakfast items AKA the eastside location is the best location! We got it all, yo! Now the decision on what to order will be your biggest challenge here. My partner and I shared the picnic platter, which comes with all brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs, jalapeno sausage and chicken, and four sides of our choosing. When we visited, they didn't have chicken, which was no big deal as we wanted to double up on our favorite protein here anyway - the brisket. Brisket is king here. But I mean, everything of the picnic platter was delicious! If I had to rank the meats, it goes: brisket, pork ribs, jalapeno beef sausage and then pulled pork. For our sides, we chose the cornbread, queso mac and cheese, collard greens and chili. Again, everything was delicious, which includes the sides. But damn, I am in love with that cornbread. It's basically dessert. *Drooling* Also, Texas style chili is the best chili ever as it's ALL MEAT AND NO BEANS. Stop with these unnecessary fillers! I'm serious when I say I am coming back. Everything on this menu looked intriguing, like the catfish sandwich, chicken fried steak and tomahawk steak for two. Save room for dessert because I hear the banana cream pudding is a staff favorite. I've never made it this far, which I know is child's play. But one of these days I'm gonna try it. It's just that the BBQ is so dang good that I happily fill up on it. Speaking of filled up on, the picnic platter is way more food than just for two and I say this from two people who can eat a lot, love meat and constantly work out. Not trying to impress you with my gun show, but yeah. The portions are hefty here. Love everything about Jack's BBQ, a piece of central Texas in Washington state. It's my favorite region of BBQ and am so glad Jack, the Texan has moved over to the Pacific Northwest to give us Washingtonians something that's hard to get - damn good, Texan BBQ. read more

This is central Texas bbq, which is very specific, so come with that in mind. They even explain it to you when you sit down. This means that the meat is served with sauce on the side, and only salt and pepper as the rub (that's what they told us). The corn bread had no added sugar and was very crumbly and grainy, which is also a specific style. Unfortunately, most of us discovered we don't like any of that. My husband, however, loved it. There were only two other people there, but we still didn't get drink refills, and had to ask multiple times for ketchup for the fries. read more

Unfortunately did not hit the mark. I arrived Saturday evening and was sat fairly quickly at a small table in the bar section. The waiter was nice, and they let me bring in my hydroflask, which I appreciate. I ordered the Dallas-style brisket and pulled pork w/ sides of mac n cheese and French fries. None of the food was actually hot when it was served :/ I also requested the "fixins", which I never received even though the server said "I'll be right back with your fixins" when he served my meal. The pulled pork was quite good! The brisket was just fine, and I'd like to try the Austin style without the sauce. The Mac was good (except for the chunks of tomato in it from the queso? Not a fan), and the fries would have been good if hot and w any sauce. The water for my table was served in a debranded Hornitos bottle (other tables had other nameless glass bottles), which I enjoyed even tho I brought my hydroflask. I'll probably go back eventually to find my favorites on the menu, but the overall experience was disappointing for a first visit. read more

一走进这家美式烧烤店，仿佛瞬间被拉进了充满烟火气的美式风情里。刚推开门，那股子混合着烟熏、烤肉香和秘制酱料的气息就直往鼻尖钻，勾得人心里发痒。 看那烤架上的肋排，表皮烤得焦香微脆，轻轻一扯就能脱骨，肉缝里还浸着琥珀色的酱汁，咬下去先是炭火的焦香，接着是肉汁的丰腴，最后在舌尖留下一丝恰到好处的辣意，层次丰富得让人欲罢不能。还有那烤得外焦里嫩的 brisket（牛胸肉），切片时还带着微微的粉红，配上酸黄瓜和特制面包，一口下去，油脂的香、肉质的嫩和酱料的鲜在嘴里炸开，满是地道的美式豪爽。 店里的氛围更是让人舒服----木质的桌椅、墙上挂着的复古海报和霓虹灯牌，再加上伙计们热情的招呼，让人感觉不像在吃饭，更像在朋友家的后院参加一场热闹的烧烤派对。在这里，不用讲究什么规矩，大快朵颐地啃着肋排，配一口冰爽的啤酒，浑身的疲惫都被这烟火气和满足感驱散了。 这哪里是一家烧烤店，分明是把美式烧烤的灵魂搬了过来----用最实在的肉、最地道的烤法和最热忱的氛围，让人一口就爱上这种奔放又暖心的美味。 read more

In town and was at a hotel nearby looking for some food to get delivered and stumbled on this! Looked highly rated so I gave it a chance. I ordered delivery through their website because they have more options there than Uber eats. I opted for the spicy Caesar salad with brisket and piece of pecan pie. The brisket came on the side and it was a hefty portion which was great. Delicious salad probably could have had some more leafy greens but no complaints. The pecan pie was good came with some whipped cream. It wasn't the best pecan pie I've had but I thought it was delicious nonetheless I'm sure this place is even better in person so would love to try dining in read more

Very solid BBQ for the area. Their portions could be bigger, but their food is tasty (albeit sometimes salty, especially the whole chicken). They have a good selection and a good service. Their Mac and Cheese is probably the best Mac and cheese I've had in Seattle so far. It's very tasty and rich. It pairs well with a lot of things. read more

They initially messed up our to-go order by forgetting our 1lb brisket (giving us a couple ribs instead). I called in and their manager had someone drive to my house with the 1lb brisket and an apology slice of pie. Also all the food was great so we are happy and now loyal customers. read more

This place is so amazing, we went there 5 times in the first week they were open!! I am not easily "wow'ed" but their food AND service is amazing EVERY SINGLE TIME we go. And every time, we get a different server and order a different meal. Incredible!! So I tell you all this hoping that it does not get so busy that I will have a long wait in the future...so let me cut ahead in line, okay?! :) The meat is made Texas style so the meat is flavored in a way that you do not need sauce since it is sooo good as is. Of course, they have great sauce if you love sauce and want to add some. Note that most BBQ places have chicken that is just fine, nothing too exciting. This chicken is flavored so well and is the perfect texture and it is not dry! They have some sort of secret to recruiting staff that seem to love their jobs! Seriously! All the waitstaff seem happy to be there and wanting to make sure you get exactly what you want and that you love your meal. They know the menu and food so well. I love going there since it is always a great experience. Amazing food, people that are happy to help you, clean restaurant...what could be better? Also, they have a full cheat sheet for dietary restrictions and even have many vegan options so everyone is covered!! You are going to love it!!! (And now I am hungry after writing this review...guess where I am going...) read more

Been craving Texas BBQ ever since I got back from...well Texas. I thought I would be disappointed since there really isn't too much option here in the Seattle area for this specific cuisine, but the brisket here was very on par, very moist and flavorful. It didn't need any sauce, but whatever their house sauce on the table was was good so I like adding it in. Sad that this took over one of my favorite Indian restaurant, but it's a nice addition to the east side with plenty of parking. I guess this is their 2nd location so anytime a business opens up another location, it has to be a good sign. Their brisket is definitely something to try, but I'd recommend getting the combo where you get a selection of 2 or 3 different kinds with a few sides to try a variety. Depends on how many people you are sharing it with I guess. For 2, 2 meats and 2 sides was plenty. It didn't look like much food, but it's rich and gets filling as we're eating it. Thought we would have room for dessert, but we didn't. HAHA. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

As a native Texas, I'm always hunting for Central Texas-style BBQ around here. I've had restaurants serve "Texas BBQ" smoked with northwest wood, or in an electric smoker, or served "Texas Style" in manner that I have never seen before in my entire life. Not this. This is the real deal like you would get back home. Low and slow brisket with a great bark, hot-links, and correct sides. This salt and pepper on the brisket seems a bit less aggressive than BBQ2U in Gig Harbor - up to you if that is good or bad. I like it both ways. Sausage is very good here too, as are the collards. I swing by on my way to work for the delicious breakfast tacos (have not tried the bacon ones because the brisket ones and sausage ones are too good.) I'm looking forward to trying the Chicken Fried Steak (sadly only on the brunch menu) chili (they never bring any to my particular work cafeteria's "local restaurant outlet" when they are there) and the beef ribs (apparently only one day a week?). Opportunities: Breakfast tacos with the hot link sausage would be nice as an option instead of only the jalapeno cheddar. Sausage gravy for the CFS/biscuits at brunch? read more

We've eaten here a few times now and certainly never left hungry. The promotional "Big Dumper" sandwich they're offering during the Mariner's playoff run is a home run (pun intended) - a full pound of different meats in a great sandwich plus side (Texas Caviar for the win!) all at a great price (we ordered several for takeout). The last time we sat down for dinner there, the service was great, too! read more

Great BBQ! I'm not sure how many BBQ places in city of Bellevue, but this place is legit. Working in seattle many years, going to pecos pit, hole in the wall, etc. jacks bbq equals them and better. Hole in the wall lost quality when the original owner sold it off. Pecos has remained the same. Jacks is better than both. Their brisket has an awesome thick and tasty bark. Very tender. Their garlics mashed potatoes are outstanding. Their chili is surprisingly loaded witv brisket (a Texas chili- no beans, just meat). This place will be an absolute repeat. I can't speak much about venue, i got my order to go for dinner later that night (fyi it all reheated nicely). read more

All the dishes we've ordered here are savory and service is excellent. It's nice to find authentic BBQ in the city

Came a few weeks ago, pretty quickly after their opening and there were definitely some opening pains. Not going to comment too much on the details, but the (manager?) was very generous and was super apologetic. I ended up opting for the brisket sandwich (mainly to judge the brisket) and it's tasty! Good bark, happy that I opted for the point cuts. Generous portion of brisket for the sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Certainly I can smoke my own brisket (and have many times!) but it's nice to have a spot to come grab one on a whim without going thru the whole smoking process. read more

This was some of the dryest, toughest brisket I've ever had. I'm not sure how this place has such good reviews. The chili was too salty & I bit into a tough, bitter, chalky piece of meat in it. read more
