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.
La nourriture super tout est super bon par contre le gérance des réservations trop serré on peut pas prendre le temps de profiter du moment mais les employés sont superbes. Ça vaut le détour.
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!
L'atmosphère est incroyable! Je recommande fortement ce restaurant pour vos soirées festives ou pour regarder un match de hockey ou football. Julien nous a offert un service impeccable.
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.

Excellent bouffe! Le service ordinaire, beaucoup de manque de boisson! Lorsqu'ont viens pour passer une commande de boisson le serveur nous demande de payer & après une fille viens nous voir pour quitter! Très ordinaire de perde sa table avec nos breuvage pleins!
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.
Super belle soirée avec des amis dans ce resto. On a été servi par Ivano & ça l'a super bien été. On s'est assis, commander & la bouffe est arriver en moins de 30mins. Nourriture d'excellence qualité, vraiment vraiment bon! Du service à la bouffe, je recommande fortement! Merci Ivano! On etait 4 gars pis on a même pas été capable de finir!
From someone who's worked in restaurants for many years being seated right next to the kitchen is my favourite. The amount of cross contamination I saw with people on the line who were not switching their gloves & opening the fridges & then their hands going right back into the food they're about to serve, not a good look. One person on the line with her earphone in, don't know what kind of kitchen has that. Won't be able to hear your coworkers talking & just a bad look in general. The one guy who put fries in his mouth & his fingers in his mouth with it & then right to plating food. Seemed like too many cooks in that kitchen if they were able to lean on the fridges & chat while we were waiting for our food. Overall food is quite mediocre for the price & then you add the unhygienic tendencies & unprofessionalism I was seeing in the kitchen. Won't be returning.
