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.
Aller à plusieurs dans ce restaurant est un pur plaisir. Nous étions 3 & nous avons pris le menu rodéo à 59$ par personne. Nous avons eu un magnifique plateau de viandes & d'accompagnements. La nourriture est vraiment délicieuse, ma préférée était le pork belly qui est vraiment fantastique. Si vous avez un craving de bbq, vous allez être servi !
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.
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 $25. The pork was not pulled pork. There were large chunks & most of it was not pulled apart. It was sliced pork. I make my own smoked pulled pork & it's better than what I was served. I barely tasted any smoked flavour. For a smokehouse, this is just…embarrassing. It was slathered with a peppery sauce which overtook the entire dish.
Will likely not be back. The greater Montreal area deserves a better smokehouse.
Nice ambiance friendly staffs. The brisket was exceptional, it was perfectly smoked, juicy & packed with flavor. The St. Louis cut pork ribs were incredibly tender & literally melted in the mouth. On the other hand, the smoked turkey was a bit dry. Overall the meal was a true indulgence.
We were a group of 5 people & we were recommended to go for the Ranch Menu (59$/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.
