Been going here for years dining in, take out, and catering for special events. Food is consistently good and of quality.

I felt the food was okay but definitely was not my favorite. I'm not sure if I would go back there. The service was good tho and the server was extremely nice ! read more

The Brunswick stew was my favorite thing I got! Could be the only thing you get! So delicious! The meal comes with a piece of garlic bread! The Mac and cheese was good! Well seasoned! I felt the brisket was pretty good too read more

Great place. The food's not too fancy, but it's tasty and priced right. The red wine is terrible, but I guess I could probably expect that. I like that they allow non-kids to order from the kids menu. I get a heap of pulled pork and two sides for nine bucks. It's good for two full meals. Service is always friendly, too. One complaint: that parking lot sucks, full of potholes and ankles waiting to be broken whilst walking to your car. read more

Old ribs. I think they were probably great when fresh because they were cooked good. Too much mayo in the coleslaw. Mac n cheese was not good or bad just bland. Catfish was ok should be in cornmeal or blackened not that batter. read more

Our waitress Dana was simply the best! Everything thing she recommended was amazing! My ribs Mac and cheese corn pudding and Cole slaw it was all very good!!!!

Parking was easy. They had a pretty open space. Had a short wait before we could get seated at a table. There was a window near the front where you could see them prep the meats for the bbq. Our server was good. We enjoyed our food; ordered a 3 meat combo. It came with garlic Texas toast and two sides--we chose bbq beans and Mac and cheese. We got the Turkey, brisket and Italian sausage. It was good bbq with good variety for both the meat and sides. Beans were better than the mac and cheese. And our favorite meat was Turkey best. read more

One-Eyed Jacks BBQ Restaurant - Excellent burnt ends sandwich special - Barbeque Near Me - Lockport, New York

Amazing! Service was friendly and fast, food was delicious. Burnt ends, half rack ribs, corn bread stuffing, fried pickles, even the French fries were perfect. Two huge meals with an app for $60 is unheard of these days, especially for bbq. read more

BBQ was amazing. Mid week and a good crowd was here for lunch. Never disappointed with One-Eyed Jacks.

The ambiance is just very simple and casual. It's a combination of a bar, resturant with tables, no booths. Foos is very good and flavourful. The combination of dry rubs and their own homemade BBQ sauces. The meats are very tender, and the side dishes are delicious. You get 2 choices with your meats. Baked beans, Mac n cheese, apple sauce, salad,coleslaw, fries. They have 2 sauces on the table. One BBQ is a little sweet and spicy, one vinegar based BBQ sauce. They have an opened bar for drinks and a variety of beers. The service is fast and friendly, and your food comes out quickly and hot. I like the fact that the food has a smoke taste but not overpowering. read more

One-Eyed Jacks BBQ Restaurant - Grabbed some Smoked Wings at One Eyed Jacks today. They were great and very inexpensive. Six wings for under $7. Highly recommended - Barbeque Near Me - Lockport, New York

We had heard good things and really wanted to like OEJ. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. The good: we ordered for takeout, and the food was promptly made and fresh. In spite of being takeout, the French fries were crisp and not soggy, and very tasty. The coleslaw was perfect for us, as it was not in a heavy-mayo sauce. It was fresh and tasty. The meh: the garlic bread was disappointing, greasy and lacking in flavor. The brisket sandwich was okay, it had good flavor, but nothing stellar. The bad: the bbq sauce is SWEET. All of us felt that it was overwhelmingly sugary. The 1/2 chicken, the breast meat in particular, was somewhat rubbery, and the chicken was under-seasoned. The pulled pork sandwich was very good taste-wise, but extremely, almost embarrassingly , skimpy on meat, and the roll overwhelmed the pork. Overall, with the expense of eating out these days, OEJ is just not somewhere we'll return to. read more

We stopped here for lunch on a Friday. It's excellent! The food was amazing, generous portions, cole slaw and baked beans were spectacular. They offer haddock on Fridays. read more

We stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and they had smoked wings available! I love them so much! I tried the sticky bourbon sauce on the side and it was so good. My hubby had the smoked ends sandwich with fries, and that was amazing. We love the food here and will keep coming back for more! read more

Pulled pork dinner is my go to. Side dishes are delicious. My wife enjoys the catfish dinner. Food is good and the staff friendly.

I think one eyed jacks food is amazing!!! Not only did i order it for my son's graduation party in July and everything was perfect but on New Year's Eve we put in a big order and picked it up... when we got it home we noticed that we were shorted chicken. We called and talked to the owner and explained what had happened and she was amazing!!!! She had someone deliver the chicken to us in (Clarence) also she had them include extra food to make up for the mistake!! She is great and my family and I will always support this restaurant!! read more

Tried One-Eyed Jacks for the first time this week. I wasn't super impressed. The sides were all average. Didn't love the pulled pork. The brisket was cooked nice. Their homemade bbq sauces weirdly tasted like taco sauce to me, didn't love that. The vibe of the place felt very southern, but not in a good way. Our server was friendly though! read more

One-Eyed Jacks BBQ Restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Lockport, New York

One eyed Jacks has amazing food. I love their menu selection and prices are fair in my opinion. The star of the show always, is their bbq sauce. It's my favorite of all time, better than anything in buffalo or Nashville, where I lived for a few years. read more

Use to be good but unfortunately no longer is. The meat is dry and gives off the vibe that it's been sitting around for way too long.

It was my second time here. Place is simple yet clean. Our server was very attentive and nice. The food was good however, i wished it was fresh. I was expecting my brisket will be freshly cut and juicy. just like the first time i had it. However, it was dry and obviously leftover trim. The chicken was the same, not fresh and dry. We lived in Texas for couple of years, tasted lots of BBQ and Briskets. I have no problem with the taste but just wish they consistently serve fresh foods. read more

Pretty good. They like to use a lot of salt but the bbq was worth going again. Friendly people too.

Best bbq in town! The pretzel sticks where amazing! The chicken was amazing! The pigkin is to die for! The corn bake was super good! Cant recommend this place enough! read more

First, I'd like to say that the service was great. Super friendly staff. That's why I rated this 2 stars and not 1. With that said, I didn't enjoy the food. There was one piece of brisket that was juicy and tender, but the rest was quite dry. The pulled pork was dry as well and lacked flavor. The coleslaw was too sweet and the potatoes inside the potato salad tasted bad. I'm not sure if they were old or just prepared the wrong way. read more

One-Eyed Jacks BBQ Restaurant - Brisket, Pulled Pork, Potato Salad, Coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Lockport, New York

This place never disappoints. Good barbecue, ribs that fall off the bone, sides that are absolutely delicious, great service. You may have to wait for a table because this is a popular place, and for good reason. The chili is perhaps a little too meaty and thick, but very tasty and if you take some home with you, you can always add beans to lighten it up. The chicken and ribs can be smothered in sauce, or dry rubbed. read more

I've been the one eyed jacks several times. The barbecue was really good. The beans was great. I would recommend one eye jacks

I got some takeout here and was very pleased. I ordered the one-third rack of baby back ribs, with mashed potatoes and beans. The ribs were tender and delicious. The food was ready on time. This is one of my favorites for barbecue. read more

Had food poisoning after eating here. I was there a year ago and had the same issue. Decided to try it again but will never be back. Service was excellent. Ambiance ok. read more

Great service, great atmosphere! I had samples of different meats. I tried everything without sauce first. The Chicken is probably the best I've ever had. The Ribs are good. Very meaty and good taste. The pulled Pork was very good. Great texture and great taste. The brisket was a no for me. It has no taste. Tried it with the BBQ sauce and the sauce was way too sweet for me. Please keep in mind people have different taste. I come from a different part of the country and I'm accustomed to a different taste. I am not saying One Eyed Jacks is bad. I'm just saying it's not what I'm accustomed to. read more

Consistent in terms of both food quality and service. Have been back several times since my previous review. Glad to see the "original" French fries back again; much tastier than the supply chain substitution offered for months. Ribs, brisket, pigkin (mix of pulled pork and chicken) all always good. Great and incredibly friendly service provided by Gabbie on this most recent visit. Only word of caution is the condition of the parking lot (March 2023). Approach with great care; there have been numerous wheel swallowing sized potholes for weeks. read more

It's been a while since I've been to this restaurant. Well I can tell you the food certainly changed for the worst. Me and my wife ordered the High Roller BBQ Feast, with Mac n Cheese and fries. We wanted to get the Onion Strips, however they were out of the apparently for a while. Also we wanted to try the Raspberry bbq but they were out if that as well. (Maybe put on the menu that it is not available). So it didn't take very long to get the food which was a red flag for me, they probably just warmed it up and sent it out. We waited at least 5 minutes to get the bbq sauces we ordered and by then the food was cold. I tried the Mac n Cheese it was not fresh it tasted like it was made the day before and heated up. Then I tried the fries, they were good but the ketchup tasted horrible it must have been spoiled. The ribs deserve a paragraph to themselves. I remember the ribs were very good the last time so this is what I came in for. The ribs were small and not very meaty they tasted like salty ham and very fatty. These are not award winning ribs to me. They were dry and just overall unappealing. I am very shocked this place has 4 stars and I hope that this was just a bad day for them. However, I will not be back. read more

Nice customer service, I loved how the wings and fries I got along with were made. They also have a very nice range of drinks.

A great place with collectibles you want to look at before you eat, and the food is the best barbecue in Buffalo

Really awesome BBQ spot. I really like their 2 meat and 3 meat options. Everything I have tried from them I've really enjoyed! I recommend trying the "pigken" which is a mix of smoked chicken breast and pulled pork in a honey garlic sauce - so tasty! They have a great take out menu too. read more

Saw a list on Step out Buffalo of the top 10 best BBQ places in WNY and decided to check this one out. Really neat Western atmosphere, friendly service, and finger lickin' good meats and sides. I'm a Mac and cheese snob, and this one was definitely cheesy and delicious! My catfish was cornmeal crusted, quarter chicken breast was moist, fries however were just so so.... hoping they can add mashed potatoes or potato wedges in the future. My father and his girlfriend got the brisket and burnt ends (pork) and both of them were impressed with the flavor of the meat. This review might of been 5 stars if not for the lack of dessert menu. I love my southern desserts, so where was the pecan pie, cobblers, or bread pudding? Even without a "sweet" ending to this visit , I'll be back to try some sandwiches next time. read more

My father kept hearing about this place from his friends, so I called and made a reservation for lunch the day before Father's Day. Turns out I did not need a reservation, as the dining room was busy, but not packed. The first thing that hits you when you enter is a wall of deliciousness. Smoke and meat. Turns out their smokehouse is indoors, and you can observe the pit master at work from behind a glass wall. Very neat. We were seated quickly by a very friendly waitress. Though it got busier as we ate, we never had to wait for a drink refill, and she was very attentive overall. The food. OMG, the food. I've taken to judging BBQ by the brisket. Anyone can do pulled pork. Anyone can do pulled chicken. Brisket is an art, because it is so lean to begin with. Sadly, I have never had good brisket...until now. The brisket was juicy and had a perfect layer of smoke. You can add your own BBQ sauce, but it truly did not need it. I was amazed. I did not order the ribs, but tried one and it was FANTASTIC. Flavorful, fall-off-the-bone perfection. The BBQ (sticky bourbon, I believe) merely added to how wonderful the ribs were, it was not there to cover them up. The pulled pork was delicious, and they did a great job removing most of the globs of fat you get with shoulders. The smoked roast beef was great, even the next day for lunch (2 meals for the price of 1. How can you beat that!?). The mac and cheese was not gritty. The sauce was smooth and delicious with a hint of cayenne, I believe. All-in-all, this is a fantastic little place that knows their meat! Even my mother enjoyed herself, and she hates everything. :) read more

Absolutely love this place! Have been coming for years as it is so close to me. We ordered take out for a meeting yesterday and everything was phenomenal and ready on time. I love the Pigken sandwich, it is so delicious and I don't know of anywhere else that has it. Don't miss the mac n cheese for your side too! read more

First time to One eyed Jacks while staying across the street at the Hampton inn. Seating was quick, service was spot on timely and efficient. My appetizer was an excellent chili which I added sour cream, onions & jalapeños. Dinner was the 2 meat combo (catfish & turkey) with a beer. Food, service, atmosphere all excellent . read more

We are BBQ snobs and it's difficult to find a decent place this far up north. We have been to a few competitions and a relative owns a joint up in Chicago area. I couldn't give it a 5-Star rating only because I couldn't give 1/2 star, otherwise I'd have given 4-1/2. To be honest we've never been to a commercial establishment that would rate 5-stars, so I couldn't recommend a better place than this one. You can't go wrong even if it's a long(er) drive for you. read more
