Jack's Bbq

This review is specifically for their catering service. We had them service our wedding in summer 2022. They were EXCELLENT. We got rave reviews for the food. A family member who has worked with many caterers was incredibly impressed by the professionalism of the Jack's BBQ staff. They went above and beyond in their work to help make our wedding special. The events team was very communicative and they were pretty flexible on changes and such that needed to be made (within the contract). We plan to eat at Jack's for our anniversaries when we can and definitely recommend them for catering!

I have wanted to try the BBQ at Jack's since I first drove by it on the way into Seattle. I had the brisket platter with the Texas caviar and collard greens for my sides. The brisket had a nice smoke ring and excellent flavor. Our server took us through to where the meat is smoked with Apple and Mesquite in the massive double chamber smokers.

Got off the plane headed to the hotel and in the middle of Seattle what does this Dallas born country boy see....... Texas BBQ?¿? Had to stop and put it to the test. Passed with flying colors. Had a table for 10 hungry travelers, and everyone was impressed. Brisket, ribs, chicken, chili, appetizers, you name it, they passed the test and exceeded expectations. Service, atmosphere, and overall vibe were. OUTSTANDING. THANKS, YALL.

I came out to Jack's BBQ in SODO in Seattle for some Texas Barbecue, which unlike St. Louis or Kansas City, relies on spice and smoke. For the uneducated, Texas BBQ is seasoned and placed in a smoker for something on the order of 12 hours. JACK'S BBQ is located in a most unseemly industrial spot in Seattle/SODO, adjacent to huge iron-made facilities, sprayed with graffiti, next door to razor-topped chain linked fences; with the only sounds being that of vehicles going.. somewhere else. A lone ornamental longhorn steer on the building's visage only really gives a clue as to what awaits inside. The veneer is an iron grey, except for a bright Texas flag painted onto the sidewall. Very Metal. Inside is wooden, very welcoming, attractive staff, built around a kitchen, channeling every bit of Tejas it can. My host, MICHAEL, was instrumental in my experience. A bearded Vet, he may be a bit too much for some, but I grew up around guys like this. A Shiner Bock off the tap (and don't pass it by if you haven't ever been to Texas) and I was turned to the food menu. I settled on the DOUBLE TROUBLE -- which the downloadable PDF menu describes as "Choice of any 2 meats and any 2 sides." I elected for brisket, sausage, mac and cheese, and their Trinity Chili. And it was almost great... ... until MICHAEL came to check on me, and he took sight of the portion of brisket I had been served. Noting it looked a bit dry, he took it upon himself to speak with the cooking staff and brought out a new, succulent, dripping moist piece at no extra charge. The difference was night and day. The second piece melted in my mouth like some kind of Venus goddess's... yeah. Potato salad was chilled, crunchy, and highly mustard tinged. Chilli was robust and comforting. The sausage was immaculate. I'd recommend getting 2 smoked, as I found the cheese loaded a bit too rich. Nothing a bit of sauce couldn't fix, but -- Texas BBQ should require no sauce. The tab (including tip) came to 46 bucks. And due to MICHAEL's diligence, it was worth it. Go get some.

Decided to try this BBQ spot on the way back from Seattle. This restaurant doesn't accept cash and I appreciate that a sign is posted before you walk in. It wasn't busy when we got in and we were seated quickly. I like the interior decorations and having the water already at the table. Our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered a few different items to try. Honestly my favorite dish was the frito pie and ribs with Jacks jalapeño bbq sauce. The brisket was tender and I liked the hot link sausage. The pulled pork had too much fat in it for my liking and I wasn't a fan of the queso Mac and cheese. There was great char on the ribs and brisket. I enjoyed the house made pickles. Overall a good experience.
