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.
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.
Un super beau resto, le décor est magnifique & j'aime bien la thématique cowboy. Nous étions 4 alors nous avons pris l'assiette a partager ranch. Une abondance de nourriture. A mon goût, il y a trop de viande très relevé (trop épicé), il serait bien de doser dans les saveurs. La gaufre au maïs, nous sommes 3 qui n'avons pas aimé c'est pour cette raison le 4 étoiles. Somme toute je recommande le resto, la pochaine le smash burger sera mon choix!

Short UPDATE OCTOBER 2024 Went back to this great spot. Always fun always great atmosphere but Music is way way too loud. Still cannot have a conversation with anyone because the music is blasting so loud it is actually not enjoyable. Food wise it's still great but Brisket still has not been mastered, A little dry. I've been here about 7 or 8 times & the brisket tastes good but it is always dry. Needs improvement. Ribs were good especially since there was no sweet sauce on them this time. Turkey is very good. Porc belly always awesome. Sides are good too. All in all still a great place but gotta improve that brisket & lower the sound a bit! UPDATED NOVEMBER 2023 Still one of my favorite spots on the north shore but i must say they really still need to work on a few things. It was my 6th time here since the opening & i have to say that not once has the brisket been very good & this last time it was extremely dry & flavorless. Really need to work on the Brisk. They had no more porc Belly left at 8 oclock. C'mon guys. Everytime we go theres a meat missing. It's a saturday night. Porc Belly is probably the cheapest & most popular meat there. Just make more....ITS A FULL HOUSE SATURDAY NIGHT! Ribs are okay at best, way too salty though. Smash Burger always EXCELLENT. Sides were great also including poutine & Mac & Cheese. Sausage was forgettable. Service also needs work. But its a packed house & they are probably short staffed so i'll give them some slack there All to say brought down the rating because what should be the stars of the show don't seem to be the stars of the show anymore. It's more about the sides & burgers Notes for Brisket: Maybe cook it to 165 then wrap it till 200 with tallow (optional) & let rest as long as possible (even up to 12 hours) in a low oven till you need to serve it. Brisket should be nice & juicy not tough & dry. Maybe the brisket has some parts that are dryer than others if it is not well squared before cooking. Thats normal. But maybe dont serve it. It's not enjoyable when you're paying 45$/lb _____________________________________________________________ The food is quite good. For a smokehouse in Montreal, it's probably one of the best alongside Lattuca BBQ & Blackstrap BBQ. I still think Blackstrap & Lattuca have this place Beat but if you are from the north shore you don't have to drive too far & it's very convenient. It is miles above & beyond any other "smokehouse" you can get on the north shore like RUBS (worst excuse for a BBQ i've ever seen) or Le Baril. It is a new place, it will get better with time i believe. One thing that needs to change is the service. The waiters are not trained. They do not know the menu & they are not very professional/inexperienced. Service & Employees need a serious wake up call. As for the Food, the brisket & Ribs were very tender & the spices just right. I would lay off the sweetness & sweet sauces on the outer layer & just showcase the meat & bark on those bad boys but that is just personal preference. Fries are alright. nothing special but the Fitos-chili was scumptuous. Brisket Poutine is also quite nice. Try the Smash Burgers. They are worth it. One negative...WAY TOO LOUD! its crazy. Please turn it down a little. You cant talk to people or hear anything. I almost went deaf. Give the place a shot. They're working hard trying to make it work & i'm sure they will. Great Spot ! Keep up the great work.
The waitress that showed us our seat was rude. We ordered the Rodeo Meat Platter, & the meat was tender & juicy but the dry rub was SO SALTY. The best meat was the turkey. The service messed up our order twice, did not remove the mistake on the recipe. The service was slow The table we had was in the middle of a crowded arcade area, which produced a lot of noises. The old fashion I ordered was below average, they used crushed ice instead a single large ice cube. It took a lot of time to get our recipe. Overall, it was a bad experience & was not worth the price. I don't think we'll be coming back anytime soon. The smash burgers, nacho brisket & bret salad were on point though!
For first timers, I recommend getting the Rodeo platter ($49 per person). You'll be able to try a lot of their meats & fixings. I was the odd one out & ordered specific menu items just to try them out, the Brisket & Chili Burger. The serving size was miniscule & nothing wowed me as I'm not the biggest BBQ eater, but the rest of my party seemed to enjoy their platters.
Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere!! Love the food the meats were all good whit a smoky flavor & fall apart. We ordered the rodeo tasting menu for 3 which the server explained really well how it worked. However when we got the food we got a platter whit some smash burgers ( wich we dint order) Whit the platter or meats. We let the server know tht we dint get this but since they had alrdy dropped the food & we ate some fries from them they coudnt take it back. The server let us know tht we got somebody's else order & brought us the alrdy forgotten mac & chesse. Later while eathing we realised we only had one piece of meat each, one rib piece & one slab of brisket. We later asked the waitress if the order we got was truly ours but she assured us we got more than enought food for 3. All this to say we woudve loved to seen wht we woudve got instead of the burgers maybe they coudve replaced it whit the actuall sides the dish comes whit as we dint really want 2 burgers ( in wauch were 3 not even 2). Anyways loved the food tho if I would to go back would be just for some meat by pound & not the tasting menu.
I have eaten at over 50 BBQ restaurants throughout North America. Crappy BBQ, McRib has more flavor. When Jack Flat BBQ started it was great, now sadly because they're at a price point they cannot charge more, they have cheapened the quality. 1. Bread was stale 2 cheap ketchup not Heinz 3. Ribs had no flavor & hardly could taste any smoke, just a lot of salt. 4. French fries were not warm, just sitting in a pan, waiting to be served A disappointment & very expensive, I will not go back, now if you want great BBQ near Montreal go to Robbie's Smokehouse & Burger Bar, best BBQ in Quebec.
We had a great dine-in service. But my partner had the signature burger & got terrible food poisoning a few hours after. The restaurant should be more cautious about their food safety ⚠️
Le service était médiocre. J'aurais dû écrire moi même sur la tablette. Le repas était très ordinaire. Je fais de meilleurs burger. Par contre la salade de patates était très bonne. Les drinks étaient banale mais au moins il y avait de l'alcool. Zéro ambiance à l'extérieur.
