Jack's Bar-B-Que

Do what the locals do for BarbqueWe asked the doorman where to get bar b que before leaving and he directed us to Jacks for brisket.The place is old and traditional, on Broadway, in the thick. There was no line when we arrived but we didn't have time to time. The butcher at the counter pulled the freshly prepared brisket out like it was a cake and sliced off the delicately prepared piece of meat. It was seasoned to perfection, cooked medium with a seared ribbon of fact that enhanced the flavor. We got sides: Mac n cheese, green beans, baked beans and cucumber salad. We were happy all around. Thank you Jack for not disappointing. We also walked the location and saw multiple seating options and all clean spaces, even outside.

Jack's Bar-B-Que came highly recommended so I had to try it out while in Nashville. The fact that I could smell the BBQ from around the corner let me know that I was heading to the right place lol. We arrived on a Saturday around 2pm and it was pretty packed but the line moved fast. I chose the Brisket plate with a side of Potato Salad & Baked Beans. Since we noticed there weren't any seats in the main dining area, they informed us that there was additional seating area either on the patio or on the second floor so we took our food and headed upstairs. The Brisket was pretty good and tender but I hate that they cut off most of the fat from my portion of meat, that's the best part. My friend ordered the Ribs & Smoked Chicken and both were delicious and seasoned very well. The Potato Salad and Baked Beans were okay but the Green Beans were delicious. Definitely check them out while in Nashville! With the location being right on Broadway, it's very convenient and you will not be disappointed!

Let's break this disaster down:Pros:1. Cornbread was good.2. Loved the historical items used for decorations.Cons:1. Greasy!2. The brisket and the ribs had no smoke flavor or marbling.3. The service was fast but aloof.4. The cost for four people with two meat plates, waters and a tip was $150. Yikes.

This was good BBQ. I had the pulled pork and my husband had the rib sandwich. I loved that someone was sitting outside to let us know there was more seating upstairs. We ordered at the counter and received our food immediately. I kinda loved the guy taking our order was listening intently while tossing buns about two feet into the warmer. The food was good, but not quite knock your socks off. In their defense, it was 7:30 PM. Great atmosphere. Country music playing, but low enough a person can chat. I would recommend.

4.5 stars. While walking Broadway, we were drawn in by the delicious smell of bbq. The menu looked great so we had to order. We both ordered a combo and loved it. Don't expect much from the interior, it's a typical dive bbq joint, but they make up for it in the food quality. The portions were huge and everything was delicious. Would definitely go back if I'm in Nashville.

Jacks has become one of my favorite bbq spots in Nashville because of their food and service. The staff are wonderful, friendly, and crack jokes while you order. I love it. The food portions you will not be disappointed. We usually share a 2 plate combo because it is sooo much food. We chose the pulled pork and brisket. I absolutely love their brisket it is tender and moist and needs no sauce. But they do make their own bbq sauces which I recommend trying. The brisket my boyfriend absolutely loves as it has a nice bark to it and just so tender. Their Mac n cheese is delicious as it is gooey. And hands down one of the better Mac n cheeses in the area. The fried apples were so good we were fighting each other over each slice because it was subtly sweet and delicious. They also have assorted soft drinks, beers, and of course the staple southern sweet tea. I love that they have multiple levels within the restaurant. I think there are a total of four floors if you count the upstairs outside patio to sit on.

The best BBQ I've had at a restaurant! This place was second to none!! We tried a few other places but chose to eat here twice in the 4 day trip to Nashville.

One of the most famous places to get barbecue from try this place Jack's if you're on Broadway pretty cool and unique experience. The barbecue is really good. The atmosphere was pretty cool and chilled. You can't go wrong with this place. Pretty cool part is that you get your food and then after you can go upstairs to eat. Ordered a large platter for three people, and it was perfect. The barbecue sauces that they provided was really good. Make sure you try jacks very nice people that work there.

Best BBQ I've had at a restaurant. The ribs and baked beans were both flavorful and cooked to perfection. The Mac & Cheese is the only that didn't really wow me. Overall, a great meal for a great price with excellent service.

I'm really at a 3.5 but upped it to 4 because that pork shoulder really is GOOD! The place is right on Broadway in a prime location, but this small/narrow kind of a divey place was just that... a dive.That doesn't take away from the meat's quality and flavor. The usual white bread bun accompanied it, which I didn't eat, I was there for the MEAT!I'd probably opt to go elsewhere in the future, but glad I could try Jack's. It hit the spot at that moment.
