Jack Flat BBQ offers a vibrant, festive atmosphere with a unique Western theme that many guests enjoy for gatherings and sports events. A wide variety of smoked meats, particularly the brisket, ribs, and smash burgers, are frequently highlighted as delicious, generous, and flavorful. While the service is often praised as being attentive, friendly, and efficient, experiences can vary depending on the evening. Some visitors feel the pricing is on the higher side and note that the lively environment can get quite loud, which may not suit everyone. Although a few guests have encountered inconsistencies with food temperature or portion balance, many others describe their time there as a memorable and authentic BBQ experience that warrants a return visit.
Fantastic food, really great western atmosphere, Brisket melts in your mouth. Highly recommended! Suggest making a reservation ahead of time as it was quite packed, & took a while to get a table.
Wow! This place is amazing! Great service, & the food was phenomenal. We had the platter which came to the table with burgers, smoked brisket, burnt ends, wings, mac & cheese coleslaw. We need this in Ontario, please!!!

This is by far my favourite restaurant. I've been here 10+ times since I've heard about it & every time my experience is amazing. Never had any problems with the food nor the waiters. Waiters are generally friendly & accommodating to your needs. I strongly suggest the brisket, pork belly, Mac & cheese, Texas twinkies(spicy warning) & the mashed potatoes. If I could come here everyday I would!
The food is mid. The burger have no taste. The brisket is good but the bark have no taste. I'm missing the smokey flavor. Too much hype. This is a good BBQ restaurant but nothing exceptional.
As someone that has eaten BBQ all across the usa I'm not impressed by the food.. I feel like the brisket didn't have a smoke ring & was more dry. The pork belly was really good & tender. I didn't find the sauces are a little different. Don't expect the Kansas style or south Carolina vinegarette style BBQ sauce. The mac & cheese was really delicious tho. I love the alldente pasta & how creamy it is. I'm definitely a fan. Service was great. I sat alone at the bar & the barmaid helped & & answered all my questions. Service was fast & the place was pretty busy for Thursday 6:30pm. The ambiance is really nice. K love the,decor & how it has like a funky country style mix. I enjoyed the country music & the animal decorations especially that floating alligator. Would come again but more for the vibe. I would not come for the food.
Just wanted to post an update - After dining here in July & several other times in restaurant or for take out, now in January of 2025 I can confidently say the food is awesome - delicious in every way. Good portions & great quality. Decor is also out of this world particularly during the Xmas period. Love it! - ---- Heard a lot about this place on social media & being a huge fan of BBQ I'm really glad to have tried it. Our group of 5 dined here on Satuday July 6th around 4:30 PM. We made a reservation online. This was a bit earlier than we wanted but figured it would be more ideal to ensure they do not run out of the specialty meats served on this day. Saturday's special is the smoked beef ribs- the menu emphasizes they are first come first serve "until we run out". We were seated on a large communal style wooden pic nic table in the middle of the restaurant. There is a mix of booth seating, individual chairs & these pic nic tables. I wish I had an actual chair with a back rest as sitting on the bench without back support for a while can get quite uncomfortable. Despite being early for supper, the restaurant was already pretty full by 5PM. We noticed at least 2 birthday groups & a bachelor party going on. This is a great place for birthdays & events - there is a second floor where they can accomodate large groups. The atmosphere is loud country fun - great decorations, country music playing the whole time & tv screens featuring rodeo or music videos. There are even certain times during the week where they have line dancing - I've seen many videos of patrons dancing on the tables - this is the vibe I was a bit afraid of. It's rowdy so I suggest coming earlier or a weekday if you want something more peaceful. Our group each opted for the "ranch experience" platter. This is $59 a person. You get about pound & a half of meat per person, a sampling of all options on the menu. Brisket, pork belly, porc ribs & smoked turkey. Every one also gets a smashburger. We paid extra to have beef ribs as well ($80). There are sides to share, coleslaw, fries, mac & cheese (amazing!!), fried popcorn chicken. This experience platter is a great option to taste several things on the menu - if you have a big appetite or just like seing lots of food, highly recommend. Honestly some of the best BBQ I've ever. I've tried all the major spots in & around Montreal & often travel to the USA, I've been eating BBQ for some time & also cook it at home, so have an idea what to expect - Jack Flat really sets the bar high. The brisket & beef ribs are so flavorful & tender, the chicken, turkey, just about everything was juicy. Even the sides - the double fried brown french fries are amazing, the mac & cheese is so goocey & creamy, not dry or overcooked like many other places. I love that each table gets bottles of their homemade sauces & there is a big roll of paper towels for you. I wish I tasted some other appetizers or options - the menu can be hard to figure out as there are little descriptions & no pictures. For example they have a "Texas Twinkie", I thought this was deep fried twinkie cakes at first but is a jalapeno popper wrapped in bacon. Make sure to study the menu well & ask questions if you're not sure. If you enjoy real american bbq you won't be disappointed. Just taking a star away for the very loud atmosphere & some uncomfortable seating in some cases. Pricing is also on the high end. Main meal options on the menu do not generally come with sides - everything is an extra so the bill adds up fast.
That was a big surprise !! That atmosphere makes any night perfect !! Beautiful & happy people dressing boots & hats , great food, gigantic portions, & cold beer. I recommend nachos with briskets. The service is also good. Live bands. I have a complaint....I miss people in my age, over 50th....the youngs are taking too much space . Still.....I loved this place
Their pricing for the meats does seem expensive. I had the brisket poutine which was a compromise. My friend had the brisket nachos which had very meat on it.
