Jacks Creek Bar-Be-Que

My Grandad was born in North Carolina. I've still some got kin back there and after several trips I've fallen in love with the Carolinas. But I betray my Northern roots when it comes to BBQ. To me BBQ is an adjective not a noun. So when you offer it for sale my first thought is barbecued what? Iguana? St. Bernard? Flamingo?And if we agree that it'll be beef or pork the next thing I imagine is ribs. Crispy, meaty, somewhat fatty, ribs slathered in some delicious sauce. The thing I DO NOT imagine is a pile of only mildly flavored, shredded meat on top of the cheapest available, store bought bun. A bun that was in its plastic bag 30 seconds before my sandwich was served to me.That's two ingredients. Two. And one of those came to me in exactly the condition in which it sat on a store shelf days ago. Not warmed or toasted or otherwise improved but just as bland and dull and it was when it was created. In that case ingredient number 2 better rock. It had better sing and shout and cartwheel around my mouth in leaps of joy. But in many places it does not.Sadly this is one of those places.I was hoping for little outpost of culinary joy. Instead I walked away disappointed.

I haven't been back here since 1979. I always wanted to come back. Best barbecue ever had. It's still up there and tops. Bought a motorcycle and came out of my way to eat here. On my way back to Orlando!

These ribs were fall off the bone good! Nice and tender, and the sauce was just sweet enough without being too sweet! Definitely make my top 5 best ribs!

Passing thru .... This place is awesome! Great bbq. Huge portions so bring your appetite. We will stop again.

This is an old style barbecue restaurant. Service is impeccable. The facility is clean as a pin. Food is high to be one of the top 10 barbecue restaurants in the southeast US and I have to agree this assessment. Pulled pork is some of the best I've had barbecued chicken was so good when I saw it I had to order me. I have chicken. Baked beans are wonderful potato salad is homemade and alsocoleslaw is homemade vinegar slaw. They also have a mayo slaw. It was very good. The barbecue experiences that I've had anywhere. Please give it a try.

Pulled Pork is very good, slaw is good but I do prefer red slaw like used to be served there many years ago. Their Baked Beans are great.

Our fave BBQ spot! Meat is delicious, ribs are incredible! My girls really enjoy their nachos as well! A must stop place to eat!

Great bar b que!!! Juicy and tender with a great flavor!!! Excellent service! Awesome pricing!

Makes me think of my grandma who passed away. She loved this barbecue chicken and it make her happy to provide it for her family

Doesn't look like much when you pass by, but when looking for barbecue this is the place to go! With homemade sauce and a price that's right, you can't beat it! The food was cooked and prepared just right, and a few great options! The pulled pork was perfectly cooked and Not to dry! This a MUST if you are looking for a great local barbecue joint!
