Reviews consistently highlight Jack Flat BBQ as a lively Texas smokehouse with a festive Western vibe, where generous portions of deeply smoked meats like brisket, pork belly, ribs, burnt ends, turkey, and pulled pork are praised for tenderness and bold flavor. The Ranch and King Ranch platters are a favorite for sampling a wide range of meats and sides, and while sides and pricing come up as room for improvement, most guests feel the value matches the quantity and quality. The atmosphere is described as fun and energetic, with line dancing and a family friendly yet rowdy vibe that adds to the experience. Service is repeatedly commended for friendliness, speed, and attentiveness, helping groups and families feel well looked after. Reservations are recommended on peak evenings to ensure a smooth seating, and many reviewers say they would return for the meat quality, the vibe, and the overall experience.
Nous étions là pour mon rehearsal dinner avec ma fiancée & un total de 18 personnes~
Contactés quelques jours avant le jour en question, on nous avait dit que les jalapeno sausages allaient être bien au menu, alors que, rendus sur place, ça ne l'était finalement pas… un peu décevant.
Ensuite, le menu était censé être le choix entre 3 menus : rodeo, ranch ou king ranch. À notre surprise, rendus à table, on pouvait seulement (par table de 6, sur nos 4 tables collées) mélanger le Ranch avec le King Ranch. Alors si notre table voulait le King Ranch, on était forcés de prendre le Ranch ou le King Ranch, alors que le rodeo nous aurait simplement suffi. Leur argument ? Vous pourrez en rapporter à la maison…
Question prix, ça se voit que c'est de la bonne qualité, même si cela n'était pas notre cas pour la table de moi & ma fiancée (c'est notre journée de dîner rehearsal & ils le savent depuis un mois). Nous avons reçu un plateau de nourriture qui semblait être parfait à première vue, mais malheureusement… la viande était tiède, limite froide, à comparer de ceux à côté de nous qui voyaient presque la fumée. Je demande à notre serveuse si c'est normal & si quelque chose peut être fait à ce sujet. On se fait répondre : « C'est dans un réchaud depuis un moment, alors la viande fumée refroidit vite une fois sortie. Aucune solution, mis à part la remettre. » Leur brisket, qui est leur signature, aurait été magnifique si elle n'avait pas été sèche & dure au lieu d'être moelleuse & juteuse comme celle de nos tables à côté. Le reste, néanmoins, la température avait un très bon goût, ça n'empêche pas ce fait !
Overall, déçu par le manque de solution & de communication. Alors que nos repas n'étaient pas à la température que nous souhaitions, nous avons dû nous passer de la brisket parce qu'elle n'avait pas un très bon goût, du fait d'être froide & sèche.

Nous étions un groupe pour un rehearsal diner d'une vingtaine de personnes.
Avant de venir on nous avait confirmer que les saucisses jalapeno seraient là. En arrivant ça n'existe plus.
Ensuite, le plateau des futurs mariés (moi & mon conjoint) étaient froid. Mon fiançé a demander si c'etait normal, apparament oui??? Alors que nos invités avaient des plateaux chauds.
Tout étant froid, la viande en tranches il fallait la couper rudement au couteau & le brisket était vraiment pas bon.
Déçue pour le prix & recevoir la spécialitée froide avec aucuns' bravo pour le couple voici un petit dessert ou un drink sur la maison'
Le service, le décor & l'ambiance sont vraiment bien mais c'est au niveau nourriture que ca se gate. Les sides étaient biens malgré le manque d'assaisonnement du mac&cheese. Les burn ends & la dinde sont goûteuse & ont une belle texture. Les short ribds étaient froide & dures & la brisket nécessitait un coup de couteau vigoureux pour les coupées, donc beaucoup trop sec, très décevant.
We got the brisket & the short ribs & the burger & a couple of other things but The food was pretty cold for some reason so I'm sure it did affect the taste. Would love to go again & hopefully this time it will be served hot
Excellente nourriture! Ailes de poulet, brisket, smashburger & poutine : tout était délicieux!! Ambiance bruyante mais ça fait pleinement partie de l'expérience : c'est vivant, chaleureux & assumé, exactement ce qu'on s'attend à vivre ici. Personnel super gentil & serviable. On a adoré!

Super ambiance! La viande était incroyable & le service rapide & efficace. Je recommande à tous les amateurs de bbq. Mention spéciale au brisket!! Délicieux.
The best BBQ is here. Brisket, Ribs, Bucket of wings on Sunday -all great. Wish they had better sides like fresh cut fries instead of processed, mashed potatoes, baked beans, etc.. Way better than Diablos (tough beef ribs & brisket)
This was my wife's & I first time visiting Jack Flats BBQ. We arrived at 4pm on a Tuesday & they just opened. We looked at the menu & the server came over & asked if we had questions & we said it was our first here. Here explained the small menu & pointed out the'Jack Flat BBQ Experience' & said that's what they're known for. Not being a stranger to BBQ & have a really good idea as to what great BBQ is & what should come a platter of'Huge meat trays & accompaniments' (that is what is described as) we ordered it for us. It was $49 per person so it would be $98 as it's a 2 person minimum which we were holding at the explanation of the menu or is it listed on the menu. We ordered 2 cokes & they came in the smallest glasses, pretty much a hi ball glass. Our'huge meat trays & accompaniments' arrived & I was very under whelmed at first glance. 1 tray had 4 ribs, 3 pieces of brisket, 3 slices of turkey & 4 pieces of pork belly & 2 pieces of plain white bread. The other tray had fries, caesar salad & green beans. Keep in mind there was no option to pick what meat or accompaniments it came with or did it would t say what it came with. I've been to numerous BBQ places in the US & Canada & this was probably the worst for what was offered in a platter that gives you a good sample of what they have to offer. The turkey was kinda dry & cold, the brisket, ribs & pork were ok, nothing great by any means for their rating of 4.3 with 2.2k reviews. Not sure why anyone would want a caesar salad at a BBQ place but where's the baked beans? The Mac & cheese? The corn bread? The coleslaw? Potato salad? Instead here's some green beans & salad & plain krinkle cut fries & plain white bread. The sausage? The pulled chicken? I gladly would have not had the dry turkey & had a sausage but there was no option to pick your meats or sides. Throughout our meal we asked for refills on out pop & they refilled out small glasses & brought them back. End of the meal I asked for the bill & was charged $3.50 PER POP/REFILL for a total of $17.50 with ZERO mention that the pop wasn't free refills nor did they have ANY mention of fountain drinks on the menu so we didn't know the price. Needless to say the bill came to over $130 after tax & was definitely not worth it. I will not be coming back at all. I know BBQ isn't cheap but the value for your money & the fact no refills on pop & not told about it is ridiculous.

We've been to several bbq restaurants in montreal, & they always have some Texas decorations , but this place was blaring country, everyone wearing a Stetson & even a waitress wearing daisy dukes. I've been to places on the south like this. & this was a fun imitation of those.
The menu had did not have much information on what the food actually was going to be. For example no information on what's in the Jack flat burger, just a name & a price.
The food came out really fast.
But none of the food was hot. The bread was toasted but full on cold.
The brisket had a nice smoke ring & taste but tepid. The ribs were dry & lacked taste.
There seems to be some games upstairs. Kids seemed to be having fun
We got the sangria & the platter to share the one at (49$ per person) which gives you 3/4 lbs of meat each with 5 sides (Nashville chicken, mac & cheese, fries, coleslaw & cesar salad). The food was good especially the pork ribs & pulled pork but what should have been the star, the brisket, was dry, a bit tough & well a bit flavorless. Although the service & atmosphere was super fun & top notch we enjoyed about half of the items on the platter. Also, if one person in your group doesnt eat a lot I would recommend ordering one share less. We left with leftovers after stuffing ourselves. Overall, a fun experience but the meats could have been better.
C'est notre 3e visite au Jack Flat du Centropolis à Laval & non tout est toujours aussi froid! Je comprend que les viandes sont fumées plusieurs heures & que la viande ne sort pas du fumoir live en nous servant. Mais le reste mériterait d'être cuit par contre...
Les frites sont horribles (molles, graisseuses & surtout FROIDES). Pour un resto qui affiche plusieurs poutines au menu c'est une honte. Restez dans le BBQ guys...
Nous avons noté que le brisket, la dinde & le porc sont excellents mais les ribs sont médiocres, durs & élastiques. Mac & cheese sec & froid.
Le menu n'a aucune description, ni photos?
Pour terminer, si vous aimez l'ambiance grosse cafétéria entassée, inconfortable & bruyante, c'est la place!
Mais ne soyez pas inquiet on y retournera pas une 4e fois.
Malheureusement la bouffe était sèche & pourtant je suis amateur de brisket, arrivé à 18 heures en famille & 18 h 45 je payais déjà pas eu trop le temps d'apprécier nos drinks, peut-être une mauvaise journée

Nice ambiance friendly staffs. The brisket was exceptional, it was perfectly smoked, juicy & packed with flavor. The St. Louis cut pork ribs were incredibly tender & literally melted in the mouth. On the other hand, the smoked turkey was a bit dry. Overall the meal was a true indulgence.
I dunno how Google knew I went there.
It is good old meat shop similar to brisket food trucks you see in LA. JFB is a typical centropolis vibe, vibrant, loud, lots of peeps. Unfortunately I did not take photos, next time I'll certainly do.
We were a group of 5 people & we were recommended to go for the Ranch Menu (59$/person) which gets you a shared platter with all the variety of meats & a shared platter with all of the sides. The meats are all really great. The highlights are definitely the brisket & pork belly. Incredibly tender & flavorful. For the sides, the best ones are the mac & cheese & the fries. The amount of food that comes with the Ranch Menu is more than enough for any appetite. But there is also the option to get theKing Ranch Menu which adds a smash burger per person for 10$.
The service was great. The vibes in the restaurant are also fantastic with Texas Ranch style decor. Plenty of screens to watch sports too.
The price for the dinner came out to 85$ per person with tip (with one diet coke).
All things considered, it was a great experience & I recommend to all BBQ enthusiasts!
for Philippe's 26th Birthday was definitely a Blast, honestly I really enjoyed the Briskets with the side of French Fries, it was a great dinner & of course the Oreo Cake was definitely amazing & I love it😍😍😍
The brisket was very rich in flavour along with the ribs. Service was immaculate & Miguel was the life of the party! Bathrooms are very clean. We will absolutely come back again.
