Jack Flat BBQ offers a vibrant Texan-style smokehouse experience that many diners find both festive and memorable. The menu features a variety of meats, with many guests praising the flavor and tenderness of the brisket, ribs, and burgers, while the generous sharing platters make it a popular choice for groups and celebrations. Visitors frequently highlight the welcoming atmosphere, which includes country music and line dancing, contributing to a lively night out. While the high volume of the music can sometimes make conversation challenging, the attentive and professional service provided by the team often enhances the overall visit. Although some guests have had varied opinions regarding specific menu details, sides, or pricing, many consider the restaurant a go-to spot for high-quality meat and a fun, unique dining environment worth returning to.
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.
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!
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
The food is really good, tasty, & not expensive. You can sit inside with music & dancing or go outside to enjoy the weather. I suggest trying the brisket, smash burger, & poutine because they are generous with their portions, it's definitely worth it.
Their pricing for the meats does seem expensive. I had the brisket poutine which was a compromise. My friend had the brisket nachos which had very meat on it.
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.
