8 reviews for Jack's Bar-B-Q Smokehouse
I have traveled the country for years. One of my favorite things to do other than checking out a sporting event in a city, is to check out the local cuisine for what the city is most well known for. I've had bbq in Dallas, Kansas City, North Carolina and elsewhere, and I would rate Jacks as one of the best! You don't get much in the way of atmosphere, but wow, the food more than makes up for it.
I found this place a few years ago while driving down Oakland Park with my daughter. Had the windows down (winter time) when all of a sudden it hit me....the wonderful aroma of the cooker outside of the restaurant. I quickly made a right hand turn into the parking lot, and ordered myself up a platter of ribs, baked beans and cole slaw. I could have made a meal of just the baked beans. This place has barbecue down to a T. I generally go for rib tips which are so delicious I wonder how they do it.
All the people that work at Jacks are real nice. You can tell they take pride in their work and food. Highly recommend this place without any hesitation!
I haven't been here in a while so I pulled over the other day for a sangwedge. I'm not sure why I don't come here more often. The pulled pork sangwedge comes with beans and fries for 8 bucks. I like to add a piece of cornbread since its always fresh here. The sauces are sweet and delicious. It's the perfect compliement for the smoked pork. I've had the ribs at jacks before and they are also pretty darn good. Forget what Corina B says...
A nice spot if your looking for a Good Ole Boy Smokehouse. The food is better than average the sweet tea is very tasty! We went there with a party of five on a rainy day and it really hit the spot. It was one of our friends birthdays so we brought our own balloons, we always make a scene :)
Over all good eats the ribs were better than I expected, the chicken was a little dry, the mac and cheese I have to agree with Corina B. - They were runny. The fries were good eats and the pork was good. I will defiantly go back again and chow down.
How the heck did this BBQ joint get rated #1 in Fort Lauderdale?? No offense, but I don't think Floridians know what real BBQ taste like if they voted this spot #1. First off, the ribs don't even taste like pork or beef ribs. The meat could actually be horse meat or some other foreign animal The mac & cheese are runny and the collard greens are the worst I've tasted.
The place is also rundown and filthy! Save your money and head over to Tom Jenkins...trust me!
It was ok, good food but I like Tom Jenkins so much better, they have a much better BBQ flavor, more tender meat and better tasting sides.
I LOVE this place. the ribs are juicy and just come right off the bone. the only con is sometimes we get the really charred pieces :( which aren't so tasty (dry). my favorite sides are the mac and cheese and the collard greens.. love love love. i am gonna go there once a month. the sweet tea is pretty good too. really sweet, the way i like it. Better to eat it there. it gets cold when you get take out.
BBQ on the East Coast. Smoked ribs, good chicken. The mac & cheese isn't worth trying, it's too runny and doesn't taste like cheese. The collard greens are really good as in the cornbread. This place is an old Taco Bell that they converted into a local joint which nice to see since there are alot of vacant buildings around. I know they also have another location in Margate if you don't want to drive into Oakland Park...which ironically feels like East Oakland, CA. The Q is good here though. Smoker in the parking lot says that these guys are down and dirty with their meat. They make their bbq sauce from scratch and sell it for $40/gallon!!!! It's good...but $40 a gallon is steep. This place is authentic and worthwhile.
5 star no doubt for Ribs! the best ribs in town, stake fries are really tasty as well, great place for take out, ran into Randy Moss standing in line last month when i was there....Overall, if you want some real good ol ribs, this is the place to be!
