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.
What a wonderful time we had there. Saw the big BBQ boards being brought to tables. Ohhh yummy 🤤. I could not even be able to dent the generous amount of assorted meats. I ordered the double bacon cheese & a side of fries. Great flavor & also generous amount to consume. The waiter was very efficient & knowledgeable. I am sure all the staff was as good & pleasant as he was.
49.99$/pers. 1 plateau de viande tiède & 1 plateau de condiments tiède pour 7 personnes... Réellement, le plateau condiments était nettement insuffisant !! À peine 4 frites/pers & 1 cuil./pers Max&cheese, 1 bol de salade de choux à 7 pers, poulet popcorn à peine 1 morceau chacun. Vraiment ! 49.99$ pour manger tiède & pas à notre faim... C'est vraiment désolant !! Surtout, que ce resto à de quoi ravir la clientèle par sa déco typique country. 650.00$/7personnes sans compter les drinks que nous avons consommer, c'est vraiment rire de la clientèle !!
Je vous suggère fortement de mettre la moitié du plateau de frites (surtout les frites ça coûte rien), au moins 2 bols salade de choux, une douzaine morceaux poulet popcorn & 1 bols de fèves vertes & laisser le Mac & cheese froid. Nous étions 2x 7 personnes & pour ce qui est des condiments nous avons TOUS la même réflexion ainsi que la nourriture tiède & froide après 15-20 min.

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.
Je n'ai pas le goût d'écrire un roman mais voici les points :
1-La seule viande qui était bonne c'est la dinde. Le reste était sec & très ordinaire.
2-Nous avons payé 7x60$ pour avoir le plateau à partager. Les portions de side sont incroyablement petite pour 7 personnes. 2 petites portions de frites, 1 de mac & cheese, 1 de fèves & une de salade de choux. Les portions étaient pour environ 2-4 personnes max.
4-Nous avons attendu 5 mins après avoir reçu le plateau de viande parce que nous n'avions pas d'assiette. J'ai dû demander à la serveuse
3-Les tables étaient tellement collées que les serveurs me demandait de me lever pour aller porter les commandes au lieu de faire le tour des tables. C'est pas une cabane à sucre.
4-Me faire pousser par une serveuse qui est excitée de chanter bonne fête debout sur une table est très ordinaire.
5-La musique est tellement forte que c'est impossible d'avoir une conversation sans crier.
Je ne vais pas souvent au restaurant & ça me donne encore moins le goût avec des expériences comme celle-ci.
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 $130 after tax & was definitely not worth it. I will not be coming back at all. I know BBQ isn't cheap but the value for your money & the fact no refills on pop & not told about it is ridiculous.
We got the sangria & the platter to share the one at (49$ 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.
Desde que entras al restaurante percibes la diferencia. La atención es genial y muy gentil. La experiencia jack flat es increíble. No hay nada en ese plato que sobre. Los cortes que incluye el plato se deshacen en tu paladar. Los contornos son A1, pero el mac & cheese es top. Volveré cada vez qur pueda. Vayan!

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.
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!
Nous avons pris les plateaux & je peut vous dire que vous avez pas besoin de sauce, cest juste trop bon! Trop tasty! Jai tellement manger! C'est pas une place de mangeux de salade haha & loin de la! Pour vrai aller-y, sa vaux la peine! Ce que tu mange pas tu peut le take out! Coup de coeur pour moi, la dinde fumé & le porc belly...MY GOD j'en mangerais pour déjeuner tellement que cest bon mais toute est bon, le porc effiloché pui le Mac & cheese jesus christ 🤤🤤🤤! Je recommande!
Pour moi la viande n'était pas assez cuite. J'ai seulement aimé le goût du Brisket. Sinon le mac & cheese était quand même bon, j'ai été surprise. J'ai apprécié les accompagnements,mais je ne pense pas y retourner…

First time at Laval location. Waitresses dressed like cowgirls (somewhat objectified). I ordered a double smash burger with a poutine & an order of potato salad. Burger was delicious, poutine was tasty. The potato salad had a spice in the mayonnaise that I didn't like but I guess some people might. They should warn that the potato salad has cheese & bacon on it for those who might not like that. Overall, I am looking forward to trying other things on the menu such as philly steak. Oh & the dessert was a 12$ poudding chomeur which was very good but expensive at 12$. I'll go back for sure.
La nourriture est excellente & j'ai manger le smash burger wow !!,la poutine ,le brisket,le mac n cheese,les ailes de poulet piquantes vraiment toute était excellent ,Le restaurant était pas mal bondé pour un mercredi & l'ambiance y était excellent avec le groupe de musique qui était vraiment talentueux mais par dessus tout le service a été impeccables ,pas d'erreur de commande etc… je vous recommande ce restaurant pour une expérience parfaite des états du sud américains
I'm sure it's great for everyone else, but the seasoning of the meats aren't my cup of tea. the meat was served Luke warm-I prefer my food steaming hot. While the brisket was soft & tender, i found the beef ribs much more enjoyable. the Turkey was great & NOT dry. the sides leave much to be desired as it was full of butter & cheese. I really like the corn bread waffles as it was mildly sweet, a nice departure from the other foods bold flavoring. the cocktails were nice. Pork belly leaves much to be desired as it was dry & hard, the mac & cheese was too creamy & heavy.
I really did not like the nacho brisket. the heavy cheese overpowers the brisket & corn tortillas.
Still the place is packed & lively, & everyone seemed to enjoy the food. it's not for me, but maybe I'm the anomaly

I lived in Texas for 8 years. One of my best friends was rated in the top ten of Texas pit masters & the brisket here was the best I have ever had. The Mac & cheese was a true southern us recipe & also top notch. If this team ever decides to compete in Texas the only thing they would need to win would be a little mesquite wood. Not because the brisket needs it but just because Texas judges have had so much mesquite they have forgotten the natural taste of the meat. Kudos to a great tem.
J'ai essayé pour la 1ère fois après en avoir entendu parlé par des amis & je n'ai pas été déçu.Pour le Super Bowl y avait l'assiette Rodéo à partager avec Mac & Cheese,frites, 2 salades & plusieurs viandes dont une braisée ; le service & la qualité de de la nourriture étaient excellent je recommande & j'y retournerai.
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!!!
Souper pour 4 - 2 adultes 2 ados Special assiette Ranch - viandes & à-côtés + cheeseburger (×2) + soupe aux pois + Portions généreuses / viandes correctes, sans plus - cheeseburger (smash) correct, sans plus - salade césar était sèche, peu de sauce / vinaigrette + harcicots verts croquants / très bons / frites correctes, mais on a eu droit au "fond de panier" des petits morceaux frits & re-frits - Mac & cheese crémeux, mais peu goûteux - Pain "carré" très sec & pas de beurre offert - Soupe aux pois - pas la traditionelle! Les à-cotés refroidissent très vite (servis dans des barquettes de cartons), donc on se sent poussés à soit manger rapidement ou accepter de manger froid. Service: a débuté ordinaire. On a rapidement été avisé que la réservation était pour 2 heures, pas plus. La serveuse est venue nous voir & nous présenter le menu & n'est jamais revenue. Celle qui a pris la relève était tres cordiale & efficace. Ambiance: beau décor, mais définitivement pas l'endroit pour jaser ou se retrouver en famille... la musique est forte & les gens essayent de parler plus fort que la musique pour s'entendre. Difficile!! On était aussi très cordé, style cabane à sucre: devoir tasser la table pour laisser passer l'autre famille, mais devoir la retasser pour que le personnel puisse passer. Je comprends vouloir maximiser l'espace, mais ce n'est pas une réussite. En gros, ça ne vaut pas tant le "hype". Je n'y retournerai pas.
