   First timers, loved the big feel atmosphere of the dining room, very casual and friendly staff. Not too noisy (5-6pm Friday) just a good vibe and great eats. We will be back.

   Jack’s is our go to place for all things BBQ! The ribs are fantastic. The chili sin frijoles is the best! Service is usually very good, but it may take a few minutes for the food to arrive, but no worries, it’s worth the wait!

   I've only eaten at Jackalope in Columbia City and thought the Brisket tacos were fabulous. Had my first meal at Jack's on Airport Way and there were three of us. I had the two meat dinner consisting of the beef brisket I believe they call it the Dallas, just slices and pulled pork. Both on the dry side sad to say. My companions had the pork ribs which they enjoyed, though also on the dry side. One had the Beef Brisket the other way (? Austin) which was chopped and mixed with some kind of sauce in a bowl. He felt "you missed the meat for the sauce". The flavor of the rubs were good but meat just dry. We all had the collard greens which were tasty and the special side which was Mexican corn on the cob, also tasty. Service was great and the ambiance was what I'd expect from a bbq joint, comfortable but not "cushy comfy" and it can get loud at times. There is outdoor seating but we were inside and the place wasn't packed on a Wed.; our conversation was not strained by having to speak up. For the price point I expect my meat to be perfection. They're either buying too lean a cut and or cooking too long. I've had better all the above bbq from a few home cooks who do their own smoke and bbq.

    Great breakfast BBQ tacos. My ranking: 1) Brisket 2) Beef Bacon. 3) Sausage. However, all were good, so it’s more of a personal choice.
