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.

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.

Porc ribs were great, but could be a little bigger. Great service from our server Miguel, was very nice & funny. Would recommend

The brisket was very rich in flavour along with the ribs. Service was immaculate & Miguel was the life of the party! Bathrooms are very clean. We will absolutely come back again.

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.

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!

Went to Jack Flat BBQ with a group & had a great time overall. We shared a mix of offerings - burgers, ribs, brisket, & turkey - & everything was tasty & well-prepared. The meat was flavourful & tender across the board. Sides were decent, though nothing standout.
Only downside: none of the food was served hot, which was a bit disappointing, especially for BBQ. Also, it's a little on the pricey side for what you get.
That said, the friendly & attentive service made up for it, & the atmosphere was lively & fun - even caught a bit of line dancing!

Super moist BBQ served quickly. Meat wasn't heavily smoked. We took the rodeo menu which wasn't worth the price & might I add that they don't serve you 1/2 lb of each protein as advertised. 3 thinly sliced turkey breast doesn't weigh 1/2 lb sorry. Neither does 3 strips of ribs the thickness of my pinky that was 2 inches long. Music got a little too loud after 9pm. Great ambiance. The mention of'monster portions of meat platters will be served' is slightly exaggerated. There was nothing monster portions about the platter we received. Stick to the a la carte menu & enjoy.

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

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.

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.

If you want to eat some succulent ribs & a juicy brisket voilà Jack Flat BBQ The service & the food take you to the state of Texas 🇺🇸, I loved it & it exceeded my expectations. Thanks Guy's 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Too expensive on the meat for the portion size & It was cold when it got to the table. I know it's smoked, but there was still a good amount of unrendered fat on the ribs which was less than appetizing cold. I was expecting something closer to what I experienced in Nashville, the food was just not there. Drinks at Happy hour were a good price. Ketchup bottle was old & fermenting, it literally exploded when we opened the cap 😂 Atmosphere is great, so it's a shame.
Guillaume
Unfortunately, the food was just bad. Side dishes are better then the meat, which is fine but lacks in flavor & warmth. Overpriced like all bbq places, good service & ambiance... But I cannot recommend the bbq meat. Tough ribs, ok brisket, porc belly wasn't much to write home about. Turkey was fine, you can't mess it up. The offered sauces where good.

Visited Jack Flat's on my first time in Laval's centropolis as it seemed like the most unique choice. They put the space to great use, adorning the room with lots of southern-cowboy-esque decor. They even clear space for square dancing in the evenings which was fun to see. The service was great. Lots of seating on their outdoor patio section. A very impressive drink menu with loads of fun options. As for the food menu, the variety is alright. Some good options, with the ribs probably being the top pick. The brisket was good but paled in comparison to others I've had. I'm a huge mac n cheese love so couldn't skip that, I was pleased with the level of creaminess. Doesn't come close to real Southern BBQ but for Quebec, it will do.
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 !

Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere!! Love the food the meats were all good whit a smoky flavor & fall apart. We ordered the rodeo tasting menu for 3 which the server explained really well how it worked. However when we got the food we got a platter whit some smash burgers ( wich we dint order) Whit the platter or meats. We let the server know tht we dint get this but since they had alrdy dropped the food & we ate some fries from them they coudnt take it back. The server let us know tht we got somebody's else order & brought us the alrdy forgotten mac & chesse. Later while eathing we realised we only had one piece of meat each, one rib piece & one slab of brisket. We later asked the waitress if the order we got was truly ours but she assured us we got more than enought food for 3. All this to say we woudve loved to seen wht we woudve got instead of the burgers maybe they coudve replaced it whit the actuall sides the dish comes whit as we dint really want 2 burgers ( in wauch were 3 not even 2). Anyways loved the food tho if I would to go back would be just for some meat by pound & not the tasting menu.

I have eaten at over 50 BBQ restaurants throughout North America. Crappy BBQ, McRib has more flavor. When Jack Flat BBQ started it was great, now sadly because they're at a price point they cannot charge more, they have cheapened the quality. 1. Bread was stale 2 cheap ketchup not Heinz 3. Ribs had no flavor & hardly could taste any smoke, just a lot of salt. 4. French fries were not warm, just sitting in a pan, waiting to be served A disappointment & very expensive, I will not go back, now if you want great BBQ near Montreal go to Robbie's Smokehouse & Burger Bar, best BBQ in Quebec.

Samedi 24 août 2024 | 19 h 30. Beaucoup de monde. On arrive sans réservation. On attend environ 5 min & nous sommes placés sur la terrasse. Serveur agréable [jeune homme châtain assez corpulent]. Service correct, rien d'exceptionnel, d'empressé ou authentique. Je prends une bière 0.5 % IPA amère. Goût teinté par le verre mal lavé avec odeur de vaisselle (!). Ça part mal lol! Je demande « si la salade de chou est bonne? ». Me répond honnêtement. Je la reçois avec mon Jack Flat Smashburger & elle est très bonne! Aucun enjeu de ce côté. De style maison. Hamburger épicé & aussi excellent. Viande goûteuse. Attention, il est épicé, mais pas indiqué comme tel au menu. Aucun problème de mon côté toutefois. Les prix sont compétitifs. Mais tout doit être acheté « à la carte ». Mon ami a pris des Ribs & il a dit qu'elles étaient excellentes. Petite portion toutefois : 3 ribs/16 $. Pour moi : 43 $ [service 15 % inclus] pour 1 bière 0.5 % | 1 salade de choux | 1 hamburger. Prix correct & même assez compétitif. Mon ami a trouvé absurde le prix du dessert maison [renversé fraise/rhubarbe] à 12 $ (!). Ça ne valait jamais ça : petite portion avec crème glacée commerciale à la vanille. 5 ou 6 $ maximum! Pour un bon dessert, mais c'est maison & ça n'a aucune finesse. Thème « Western » un peu trop appuyé à mon goût avec des rodéos & autres stampedes qui jouent en boucle sur les TVs dans la salle à manger (!). Sur la terrasse, c'était bien. All & all : je retourne probablement. Plats servis rapidement, même si le restaurant était bondé. Service pas assez attentionné ou authentique Serveur s'est présenté toutefois, ce qui se voit rarement de nos jours. Pas de sel/poivre entier sur les tables. Poivre cheap. Revoir l'attention ou suivi aux tables par vos serveurs [« Tout est correct ici?; Vos plats sont à votre goût? » Etc. ] 4/5

Awesome date night. Shared the assorted smoked meat platter with sides. Loved the ribs & homemade bbq sauces. We got to meet the owner & visit the huge smoker. He had us taste the best bite of bbq OMG! We now have to come back & eat the brisket on the bread topped with a pickle & some pickled onions! He took the time to answer all my newbie smoker owner husband's questions, that was above & beyond of him. The owner's passion for BBQ is contagious. Thank you so much Cédrick for that wonderful experience! See you soon!
