Ok food, however it's very pricey for what you get at times. For example, 1/2 pound of certain types of meat, which comes with no sides of any kind, are somewhere between 20-30$. For St Louis cut of ribs, this comes to 20 something dollars for 4 ribs. Kind of ludicrous considering there's no sides with that.
We usually go when they have $30 for bucket of 60 wings & share a pitcher of beer.
This time around, I got a pulled pork poutine. Pork is one of the cheapest proteins around. Potatoes are the cheapest vegetables around. It was $25. The pork was not pulled pork. There were large chunks & most of it was not pulled apart. It was sliced pork. I make my own smoked pulled pork & it's better than what I was served. I barely tasted any smoked flavour. For a smokehouse, this is just…embarrassing. It was slathered with a peppery sauce which overtook the entire dish.
Will likely not be back. The greater Montreal area deserves a better smokehouse.

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.

Great Texas-style BBQ restaurant.
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!

Ate here last night & was pretty disappointed with my main course. I ordered the half pound of brisket & it was pretty bland & was DRY. Literally had to use my knife to cut it. Couldn't even use the edge of my fork. I did the finger test & it practically didn't fold at all. It looked like it was either overcooked or it was cut way in advance & sat out & dried up. Service was very fast so it wasn't a case of it drying out while waiting for the server to bring the food to the table. The fries & gravy were really good but there was way too much salt on the fries. We had the brisket nachos to start & those were pretty good. The brisket on the nachos was tender so that made it even more disappointing when I got my plate. The tortilla chips were a bit on the hard side. I don't know if it's the brand they use or it's because they were on the stale side. That would be surprising since it seems like a busy place & the nachos looked like a popular dish.
The Smoked Turkey club looked good & so did the smash burgers. My friends enjoyed those.
The service was very good though. Our server was really nice & very attentive. She came to see us often & kept things running smooth.
Despite that, I'm not sure if I would go back due to the quality & the price. If I do go back it would be to try the ribs or pulled pork.

Very good American BBQ type restaurant. Went once & tried the pork belly, which is succulent!

Je ne crois pas que tous les avis soient authentiques. Peut-être suis-je allé au mauvais moment, mais ce que j'ai mangé n'est pas ce que vous mangeriez dans un BBQ du sud des États-Unis. Un brisket est censé être tendre & se défaire à la fourchette, en raison de la cuisson lente nécessitant plusieurs heures. Le mien était plutôt sec. Le pork belly était très gras, car le gras n'avait pas'fondu' entre les morceaux de viande. J'ai donc dû retirer le gras. Les ribs de boeuf étaient bons, mais pas mémorables. La dinde avait bon goût mais pas extraordinaire non plus. Des drinks a 14$, une bière light à 9$, bref ne vous imaginez pas dépenser moins de 75$ par personne, au bas mot. Avec mes deux enfants qui ont partagé une petite poutine, un plateau dégustation, 1 cocktail & une bière, on parle de 220$ avec pourboire. Un des employés qui amenait la nourriture aux tables étaient frustré de la vie peut-être & disait des commentaires aux enfant du style:' il va falloir que tu tasses le cellulaire si tu veux manger un jour mon grand' alors qu'il venait tout juste d'arriver a notre table par derrière. Il parlait pas mal comme ca a tout le monde autour. Heureusement, les autres serveurs étaient gentils & avenants, mais il ne faut pas s'attendre a un service personnalisé, c'est bondé de monde. Les gens que je connais qui y sont allés disent que c'est plus un endroit pour boire des bières & cocktails entre amis, mais encore là, à ce prix, il faut avoir du budget pour y passer la soirée!

Jack Flat BBQ met à l'honneur des viandes fumées sur place, telles que le brisket, le pork belly & les côtes levées. Les produits sont satisfaisants. Toutefois, il y a des variations dans la cuisson & la tendreté des viandes selon les visites. L'établissement adopte un décor inspiré du Far West. L'endroit est animé, je vous conseille d'y aller tôt si vous voulez un repas plus tranquille. Le service est courtois.

Un vrai délice! Nous avons pris le plateau menu Ranch à partager pour goûter à tout: tout était simplement divin! Mon coup de coeur: macaroni aux fromages, smashburger & pork belly! En plus, il y a eu de la danse en ligne vers 22h00 & de l'animation en soirée! Superbe soirée! Ce n'est pas donné, mais ça vaut la peine, vraiment!

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

Best thing here is the brisket! Super tender & fatty.
Other meats were less flavourful & less tender, hence not a 5/5.
The Mac & Cheese & pulled pork are great dishes too.
Service - incredible customer service. Attractive too
Ambiance - very loud for conversations. Great TV setup. Dark atmosphere.

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!

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.

Commençons par le principal : BOUFFE Moi & mes amis sont pris le plateau ranch & avons pu goûter a presque tous le menu du coup. Voici ce que j'en pense (je suis cuisinier & boucher) Porc effiloché : amazing Côtes levées: les meilleures j'ai mangé a vie Brisket: super tendre & juteux mais beaucoup trop salé Dinde: sec mais savoureux Pork belly: gras, tendre & plein de saveur Poutine incroyable. La portion de nacho est exagérément trop généreuse. Le bacon autour des Twinkies est over seasoned, mais le jalapeno lui même est excellent. Pour une première expérience avec des viandes cuites au smoker, je donne une note globale de 9.4/10. Bien que je suis 0 fan de country, l'ambiance était fun. Ça donnait envie de prendre du bon whisky & des tequila. Malgré que les barmaids étaient Nice & on offert un beau service, les cocktails sont selon moi le point faible du restaurant. Je recommande & reviendrai définitivement. Merci d'avoir lu

Un mot décrivant mon souper à ce resto ce soir : WOW !!! J'ai adoré la poutine pork belly ! Mes parents avaient commandé un plateau à partager, donc j'ai pu goûter à d'autres viandes. J'ai eu un gros coup de coeur pour le brisket & les côtes levées ! Le service fut excellent.
Brit
First impression was it was super country decided & well lit up inside. You gotta reserve in advance though as this place is super busy & lines go outside to her in if you don't réserve. I w had the pork belly, ribs, brisket & potatoes it was SOOOOOO good - just like what you'd eat in Tennessee, Texas. My only complaint is that I wanted more drinks & the waitress was busy obviously with the crazy amount of people !

La nourriture était exceptionnellement bonne & à bon prix (essayez la poutine porkbelly, c'est un must). L'ambience était hors de l'ordinaire, pas quelquechose qu'on voit souvent. Très rafraîchissant (bonne musique, décors hors du commun, belle installation). Le staff était plus que courtois. Du monde très embelli dans leur rôle qui s'assuraient que notre expérience demeure top notch (leur chapeaux de cowboy sont insanes). Le service était particulièrement rapide toute la soirée malgré l'achalandage. All in all vraiment un restaurant extraordinaire qui mérite entièrement le détour. À essayer au moins une fois dans votre vie!

This place makes you feel as if you had taken a plane down to Texas, including the famous southern hospitality. We even got a tour of the fumoir. As one enters the decor gets you in the mood. The aroma of the food is enebriating. But once you get served the magic starts for real. The ribs, the pork belly, the brisket, oh the brisket!!! Everything is so masterfully cooked. The meats melt in your mouth 😋😋😋 I think our family has found our new favorite spot. Highly recommended!

J'avais des attentes élever par rapport à se restaurant. L'ambiance cowboy, la musique & le beau décors est au rendez vous & le service y était sans reproche. Parlons nourriture maintenant. Nous avons commandé la brisket, les cote levées, le pork belly & une poutine. La poutine était excellente, rien à redire. Mes attentes étaient plus pour le restant & j'ai été quelque peu déçu. La brisket était goûteuse mais sèche, le goût des épices est trop présent. Les côtes levées étaient bonnes mais sans plus. Pour le Porkbelly, je sais que c'est une viande grâce mais à mon avis il y avait plus de gras que de viande Est ce que je recommande, pour un évènement de fête ou de party de bureau oui.

De loins le meilleur service! Merci meghan! Pork belly sur la coche!
