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.
It took me so long to find the best place to eat Brisket but I can finally say that Jack Flat BBQ is the best & my fav now! So juicy & good portion & reasonable prices..
Recommandations pour Jack Flat : tant qu'à servir juste de la viande ne mettez pas un bout de pain & deux cornichons :) comme seul accompagnement ... c'est drôle & des frittes c'est peu coûteux ;). Les assiettes d'aluminium ont fait refroidir mon excellente brisket & côte levée que je devais manger rapidement. Boeuf excellent mais c'est tout. Désolé mais plus jamais.

Can't get enough of jack flat bbq. This time, I tried another hidden menu item. Smash burger poutine. It's literally what it says. Take a smash burger without the bread & put it on a poutine. It was good! I don't like mayo (or that type of sauce) in a poutine though so because of that I didn't like it as much as the Mac tex poutine but it was still good. As always, I always overeat when I come here because I want to try everything (& I never succeed to try everything cause there's just so much to try). Buffalo chicken wings are very good & the pop corn Nashville chicken pair so good with them. & the smash burger double cheese bacon. I would says it's one, if not the best burger I ever eat. It seems small, but it's filling. I'm a burger person, I do judge a place by there burger. Rare I go somewhere that serve burger & don't take it (specially on my first go). & jack flat is just in another category. Now don't get me wrong, it's not gourmet style burger (& I hate gourmet burger anyway, I don't want a fancy burger that cost 50$ because the chef drizzle gold on it, I want a burger that taste wonderful). This is a true backyard bbq burger that is perfectly season, perfectly cooked, perrectly smokes, perfect all the way. Just enough fat so it's tasty like it should. I ate in the past the poutine Mac tex. This is my normal go to. It's a Mac tex Mac & cheese on top of a poutine with brisket. It's just amazing. I took also the cheddar saucage as a starter plate. It's per serving so the price is for 1 saucage. It was very good. Oh & did I talked about the two homemade bbq sauce that's available directly at the table next to the ketchup & red-hot? These things are marvelous. Paired with any meat, you can't go wrong. I had people with me that never put any sauce just going back for more. If these sauce were available in grocery store, it would always be sold out. The place is crowded, specially on Friday & Saturday but I don't think there's a night that this place is not jammed packed. I've tried various day & it'd always very busy, & it's not for nothing, you want to come back. Friday & Saturday, you can make reservation for less than 4 if you call but places do go fast. You can try walk in but be prepare for a wait. I already waited 2h30 for a table on a Saturday night. I was prepare to wait, I wanted to eat here, I didn't made a reservation so I knew that walking at 7pm was a mistake. But it was worth the wait. The service is phenomenal. They will guide you, help you, be very friendly, it's just good to be there. Oh, you can also request a tour of the smoker, it's free & very nice to see, smell & learned how the amazing food is done. There is special food each night which can be smoke meat, tomahawk, ribs, etc. & the ambiance is just a fresh different VS all other place. It's not a sports bar, it's not a pub, it's like a retro country club with a small arcade on top. The music is all country / cowboy style, often music I never heard before but just very good. There's tv if you want to look at sport event. They will put stuff like NHL games, NFL, etc. But mainly it played the video clip of the playing soundtrack. Wait, there's more. More? Yes! Nearly each night, there's an event. Karaoke? Country dance? Dance classes? Name it! Highly suggest going on their Facebook page & Instagram cause this is where they announce every event & also, every hidden item. Hidden item? Yes, there's many offering that aren't on the menu like the popcorn Nashville chicken, the wings, smash burger poutine (looks like my tonight order!) & more. You're craving meat? Smoked meat? Bbq meat? Burger? Chicken? Poutine? Anything related to that? Like some company would say just do it, it's jack flat or nothing!
Pea soup was delicious but my brisket was beyond salty. Waitress was great & ambiance was nice, but I didn't know there was going to be karaoke that night. We left promptly after eating because it was too loud for me.
Entering Jack Flat's Barbecue for the first time was like stepping into a world of aromas & flavors. The air was thick with the scent of slow-cooked meats & wood smoke, instantly igniting my senses. Opting for the sampler platter, I embarked on a culinary journey that left me speechless. Each bite of tender ribs, succulent brisket, & heavenly pulled pork was a revelation, filling me with a sense of wonder & delight. From the warm hospitality to the rustic ambiance, every aspect of the experience was enchanting, making it a dining experience I would never forget. Would definitely recommend everyone to experience.
Nous avons beaucoup aimé le restaurant. Par contre, les portions sont très petiteset les cotes levés très sèches. Décevante.
La poutine est excellente! Le Brisket super bonne!!!
Très belle place , personnel très sympathique , & la poutine brisket est hallucinante , la sauce maison & la viande sont à se rouler par terre 🤩 & l'abondance de viande & de fromage ... WOW ! J'ai adoré , vous me reverrez sous peu !!!
Beaucoup trop bruyant. Je n'entendais même pas les personnes assisent devant, je devais me pencher pour les entendre. J'étais assis sur un coin d'allée, les serveurs m'accrochaient sans arrêt. Oui, ils s'excusaient, mais ça s'est reproduit toute la soirée. Je suis très déçu de cette première expérience.
Les portions de viandes étaient trop petite pour le prix selon moi. BEAUCOUP trop de poivre sur les côtes (st-louis). Le brisket était sec. Le porkbelly était très bon.
4/10.

I been there around 3 times before & I decided to go there for my birthday. I booked for 8 persons a saturday & it was an amazing experience for me & my family. There was so much food we couldnt believe it. We picked the jackflat plater(?) that was 59$ per person & honestly it felt like the food was worth 90$ per person if we look at the quality/quantity ( a lot of takeout after lol ) all the meats & sides were delicious. ( the briskets & mac&cheese were my favorite ). The service is great as well. The only thing id "warn" people about is that it gets kind of loud after 6-7 ish but we were expecting it since it was a saturday evening so we were expecting it. 🔥
Décor & ambiance superbes.
Chili original & délicieux. Mac & cheese DÉLICIEUX. Très bonne brisket. Porc belly, superbe cuisson mais le rub dessus était beaucoup trop salé, tellement qu'on a pas pu terminer notre portion malheureusement. Mais on a aimé notre expérience & on recommande l'endroit!
Amazing restaurant with the best bbq in & around Montreal. Their wednesday special which is Montreal style smoked meat was better than Schwartz & other dedicated smoked meat restaurants. The brisket was incredible, with both cuts perfectly flavored. Fries are good & I am trying a poutine next time here! The mocktail I had (Le Fruit Defendu or the Forbidden Fruit in english) was great.
Première & dernière fois à ce restaurant! Serveur gentil & répond bien à nos questions, mais nourriture plus que décevante. Mac & cheese granuleux, salade césar qui goute le vinaigre, côtes levées & brisket trop cuites, sèches & goûtent seulement le poivre ainsi que pork belly trop cuit. Vraiment très coûteux pour ce que nous avons eu.
Everything was perfect. Except the brisket was dry.
But the rest was 5/5
-Service, Mac & cheese, ribs, pork belly, coleslaw, onions & pickles, fries, drinks.
Excellent endroit pour une soirée d'ambiance! Le staff est vraiment sympathique. Nous avons essayé plusieurs trucs sur le menu & tout était délicieux! Coup de coeur pour l'incroyable brisket!!
3 tranches de brisket pour un plat principal & facturé 21 $ pour ce qui ressemblait à une entrée. La poutine épicée (voodoo) n'était pas comestible & aucune offre ne nous était proposée en supprimant au moins le repas de mon ami de l'addition. L'endroit est sympa & la serveuse était très bonne mais nous n'y retournerons pas. La nourriture est horrible.
