Texas Jack's Barbecue

Came for the brisket and stayed for the cocktails. Texas Jack's is a rustic-looking bar restaurant with tv screens (sports) and a lot of Christmas decorations. It looked like a good space with three different eating areas, one of which was reserved for a private party. The other two seem divided into restaurant and bar, but even the bar side had booth seating. The service was friendly and casual, though they did appear to need more staff on the floor.The food was delicious. Exactly the kind of Texan beef brisket we expected and came for. The macaroni was good, though small in portion. The wings were tasty and big in comparison to the sides. The mashed potatoes were not what we expected. They had parsnip and could be better described as a pure. It tasted good and was healthy but just what we had in mind. The corn bread was tasty, but also on the small side.We ordered holiday themed cocktails, including a cranberry mule and a smoked old fashioned. Both cocktails were excellent.Would come back again!PS. Street side parking available but you might have to walk a block or two from the neighborhood as the parking lot is quite small.

We were really in the mood for pulled pork and saw this place had good reviews.Overall, the food was okay. Service was good, place was clean, and I liked having two option of seating (quiet, family oriented on the left and bar space with ample TV on the right).Ordered the pulled pork sandwich with complimentary side (baked beans for $15). Added the $29 meat platter with sides of Mexican street corn and mac and cheese. Bummed that the meat platter came out cold (was hoping jt would have been warmer... is it suppose to be that way?). And wish the pulled pork sandwich had more slaw. Side note: lots of cartilage in both the pulled pork sandwich and meat platter.Everything we had today was mediocre, so I probably won't be coming back here. Disappointed because we were really looking forward to an amazing meal.

Texas Jack's is a fantastic spot for brunch! This was my second visit, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the brisket sandwich with an over-easy egg and cheese. It's always flavorful and satisfying. The brisket is lean and perfectly cooked, making it my top pick every time. Their drinks are also worth mentioning! You can choose from cocktails or mimosas, but since it's brunch, I always stick with the mimosas, which are consistently great. Another bonus is that the food is reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a delicious meal without breaking the bank. I highly recommend giving this place a try--you'll love it!

Saturday brunch at Texas Jack's BBQ is never a disappointment. The Brisket Egg Rolls are the best. From the very first bite you get the smoked flavor from the brisket and the crunch of the shell. They are truly awesome. I would go back just for the egg rolls they are that memorable. The servers here are always friendly and attentive. This is a great spot in Arlington for brunch, lunch or dinner.

We had a private party of 10, and it was perfect for large groups! In fact, there was a group of 30-40 middle schoolers also there. Service was quick and accommodating.The barbecue itself was tender and cooked well! I got a side of Brussel sprouts to have a more balanced diet, and it was perfect!

This is a Texas Jack's brunch appreciation review. This place has delicious food, great service and great prices. There are many brunch menu items for under $20! I was here recently on a Sunday around 12:30. There were plenty of tables available without a reservation. We opted for a table in the bar area so we could watch football while dining. By 1pm the places was pretty busy, but the service was still on point. I really enjoyed my huevos rancheros with pulled pork. I also appreciated the assortment of bbq sauces. The mimosas were a bit too sweet for my liking... but they're only $5! And they have a mimosa deal if you want a really boozy brunch experience. I definitely recommend Texas Jack's for brunch and plan on returning soon!

Food was tender, cooked just right - sauces are presented to you when greeted, my server was very attentive. Material capable of handling the whole restaurant and patio with little support from her peers. Very respectful and upsold me on the Monday Lunch Special. This place has been around for awhile - I recall my Mother taking us to the 711 across the street to cash her checks all the time and this place being here. Would recommend!Server's name is Gege

Yee haw! Darned tootin' this was a good meal. My little lady loved the sautéed brussels and I loved the beef. We left happier than a mule on sugar cubes. Mosey on down partner - you won't regret it!

This was an ok visit but I doubt I will come back since I would be passing multiple BBQ spots before getting to this location. There wasn't anything that stood out to make me want to come back but if you're in the area, it's cool to satisfy the bbq craving. The Lavender Haze cocktail was ok, the lavender flavor was really faint. The brisket eggrolls were interesting - the cojita cheese was prominent. The meat was tender. The pulled pork sandwich and chicken sandwich that we ordered was stacked with meat. We were pretty much full from the eggrolls so we only had a few bites of the sandwiches. We tried each of their bbq sauces and weren't wowed but they did help bring some flavor the eggrolls and our sandwiches. The noodles could've been cooked a little longer but the Mac and Cheese was really good. It's the highlight from my meal. I'm not sure of the cheese blend but it had just the right amount of seasoning and the texture worked well with the type of noodles used. Although we were satisfied with our app and entree (we decided to take home the remainder of our sandwiches), there's always room for dessert right? We opted for the peach cobbler and it was terrible. The peaches were hard (partially frozen) and cold. We're accustomed to a warm peach cobbler with cold vanilla ice cream - not cold fruit and hard, salty biscuits. The biscuits were extremely salty. The restaurant looked clean, bathroom was neat and service was decent. I appreciated our servers understanding about us not enjoying the peach dessert. There's plenty of seating indoors and outside which is nice. There are other local spots that easily give this place a run for their money but Texas Jacks can't be completely written off.

My friends and I were feeling Southern American BBQ, so we went to Texas Jack's for dinner last Friday. We made a reservation (just in case) but it didn't seem necessary given the spacious dining area they had. The service was fast and we were in and out in less than an hour.CORNBREAD MUFFINS (2) - 2.50We got two orders of these and they were pretty standard. I love corn-based foods, so I enjoyed these regardless. The honey butter was good, but I was OK eating the cornbread muffins without it. Good, but nothing to write home about, though.CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS (LARGE) - 11The large portion is a good sharable in our group. The brussel sprouts were generously topped with parmesan aioli that gave it more of an "oomph". However, it was way too oily and greasy for me and not too enjoyable after a few of them. PORK SPARE RIBS (HALF RACK) - 21So tender and the meat easily falls off the bone. The flavor on them was pretty smoked, and overall above average. The meat was tender, but the pork ribs weren't very big or juicy. Either way, we enjoyed them!Food isn't too expensive. We paid around $16.50pp after tax and tip, and we were quite stuffed at the end. Good food and good value!
