    Humongous spilling over the sides meaty tender and super tasty brisket potato!!!! I can't remember a better one I've ever had! It could feed 2 normal people, and it stuffed me full as a tick! I had the Sadie baked potato, burnt ends, and tried a bacon wrapped jalapeno. The burnt ends were too tender, I like mine more crispy. I would skip the bacon jalapeno, but that potato was fabulous! I came because of the photos and it was spot on!! Bonus was it tasted as good as it looked! I would definitely return and try the huge sandwich next! The cashier was super friendly and also said the Arlington location is not affiliated with this location, and this location was much preferred by their customers. The simple decor shows off the award winning BBQ and leaves no doubts too their expertise. Well done Jambo's!

    Took this home, and it was absolutely Amazing. BBQ sauce was great,with just a hint of spice. we had the Sadie, which was a loaded stuff, baked potato, and I had the Texan. Whole Lotta food that was the best BBQ that I have had in a very long time especially in take home and not badly priced very fair and reasonable. Highly recommend. Spoke with the manager they have the BEST barbecue I've ever had in 30 to 40 years. Nice large portions extremely delicious flavor. I can't say enough about this. I was totally blown away. Highly recommend Jambos BBQ.

    Sliced brisket sandwich.

In my humble opinion, salt lick, and drift for Texas is outstanding however, if you're in Fort Worth and you want an amazing barbecue, you're going to be at Hickory sticks barbecue and let me tell you their brisket is second to none. Service is outstanding for what this place is side of the road joint clearly mom and Pop Shop, but again in my humble opinion, the mama pop shops are the best. Do us a favor stay away from chains come to places like this you'll arrive hungry and leave full. Great selection of food very kind folk, especially from folks not from around there very cool vibe with that Classic Texas style barbecue atmosphere whatever you do don't open the little box that says in case of fire open if you do so open at your own risk. On my leads out there if you're passing by this way, you need to take a stop grab yourself a brisket plate and a side brisket sandwich to go kick your feet up and enjoy.

    Arrived around 8:45 of an overcast Sunday. We were probably 20th in line and I would say the line…read morestarted to wrap around 9:30-10. We probably got inside to order around 11:15. While we had a plan going in to ordering, we still overestimated ourselves. We wanted to get a little of a lot of things and definitely would've ordered less. (However, we're proponents of savoring and appreciating the few bites you have - which is hard to quantify when you're ordering by the pound). The pork belly was easily our favorite (a surprise for us); I liked it without the peach glaze and he liked it with. Both sides of the brisket were phenomenal and the smoke ring was thick. Ribs were delicious but by this point we were wishing we split one. The slaw I was initially feeling would be underwhelming but it perfectly cut through the grease and fat of the meat. The potato salad was Dijon forward which I usually wouldn't be a fan of but this was done with balance. The bread. Tangy and chewy and wow a big surprise on how delicious it was. We asked if we could sample the turkey (but ordering turkey wasn't part of our plan) and can honestly say it was the best turkey I've ever had at a BBQ place and they threw in a slice for us. Banana pudding. Get it. I think it's worth the wait in line for sure. Bring a snack, a drink, a book , or game to play and you'll notice the time flying by like we did. (Although we didn't go when the weather was insanely hot or sunny)

We came at noon on a gloomy Thursday morning and we were able to sit down and eat our food at 1pm. Service was quick! Staff was extremely friendly and hilarious, making the experience a good one from top to bottom. Great job, team. Barbecue was TO DIE for. Some of the best I've had in all of DFW. It's a bold claim, I know, but you've gotta go try it for yourself. Brisket was so tender and melt-in-your-mouth, the jalapeño cheddar sausage was amazing, and the sides were PHENOMENAL. Great mac and cheese. The space is clean, small, and cozy. Would love for more seating for the sake of the line, but I understand the hype and exclusivity appeal. Very southern, very mobile-home, very cool. Well done.
