Jack's BBQ & Steakhouse Bellevue | Redmond

If you like burgers, beef brisket and pulled pork this is the restaurant to dine. My family 💯enjoyed the beef brisket, fried chicken and corn bread while I found the beef burger and Mustard potato salad simply divine. I highly recommend eating here if you like BBQ. John was our server and he was professional, friendly and respectful. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here 💫💫💫💫💫👏👍

Nice place for BBQ. The sausage and chicken were delicious. They brine their chicken so it was flavorful and moist. The sausage was very tasty. The pork ribs were smoked well but a little on the dry side. The brisket, which should be the star of the show was a let down. While smoky it was overcooked and dry, which made it hard in texture, almost brittle at some ends. Some pieces were rock hard dry, yikes. The bark on the meat was not great either. Not a lot of flavor which required us to use bbq sauce. The Caesar salad was good but the fried pickles appetizer was meh. The server was great and the prices are reasonable for the portions you get.

Good place for brunch. Not too crowded on Saturday noon. Good food (I got brisket, cheddar and jalapeño sausages, Gramma’s COLLARD GREENS, and chili, they are all part of the DOUBLE TROUBLE menu item). Of course, it's not the best Texas brisket, but it's decent. The sausages are really good, and the chili is better than I can cook at home.

We are from Texas and we have certain expectations for BBQ. Here is what Jack's BBQ does right: friendly staff, butcher paper for plates, no sauce on the meat unless you ask for it, sweet tea, Shiner Bock beer, good corn bread, tender meat with good bark, smoke pit with real wood. I would have liked a bit more meat for the price. But all of the food we had was great (brisket, pork ribs, coleslaw, corn bread, garlic mashed potatoes, corn pudding). Plus, they have an Excellent food safety rating (as of Jan 2025). I would also prefer a year round discount for Veterans. Jack's BBQ is as close to real Texas BBQ as it gets in the Seattle area.

Service and atmosphere were 10/10!! Food flavor was good, but very very oily. I lived in cen tex for a while and love that style BBQ. Clear grease dripped off the food here and the rib cuts were very fatty. Sad because i really wanted to love this spot, if i come back im just getting the chicken / sausage / sides.

I’ve visited the SLU location a few times and always enjoyed the breakfast taco with brisket. Today I tried the Redmond location for the first time. The outdoor seating and service were both good, but the breakfast taco with brisket was disappointing—the portion was noticeably smaller than at SLU, and the flavor wasn’t as good.

Got a few pounds of brisket for a to go order and it was pretty good. I used to live in Texas for 7 years and this is getting very close to the real deal. There were a few parts that were extremely moist and other parts that were a bit drier and I will try to differentiate better next time. Also the rest of the menu looked very good with their picnic and trinity options standing out. The vibe of this place is very nice and welcoming from what I saw.

Finally tried Jack’s barbecue. It was pretty good, not amazing, but good. There were chicken, wings, brisket, ranch beans, mac & cheese on the table. The mac & cheese is delicious IMO but I found the brisket kind of dry except we’re heavily fatty. The ranch beans were good, but really just not my thing. I guess I was expected something sweeter so I will not judge those. The chicken wings were phenomenal and definitely the best thing I ate this lunch. Definitely worth checking in. The service was great and friendly. It was slow at the time so the atmosphere is hard to critique as well, but definitely worth stopping in and drying.

Really great Texas style bbq!! Portions are large with rotating seasonal sides that are delicious. Their brunch menu is also fantastic. Staff is very friendly and service is fast!

There aren't too many places in the Greater Seattle Area for Texas style BBQ, and I'm glad that Jack's BBQ is available on the Eastside. There was currently an interesting promotion during the month of April that extended into May called Meat Madness, where you could get a 12oz Ribeye for $29 or a 16oz for $34, so we decided to swing by and check it out! We went on a Friday around 6PM and were seated with no wait time. Parking at Jack's is difficult - there are only 4 or 5 spaces at the front of the restaurant and 8-12 spaces behind the restaurant. If there aren't any spots, you will have to find street side parking that is hopefully nearby and then walk to the restaurant. The ambiance is that of your typical Texas BBQ restaurant, with American inspired decoration with hanging wire lights and dark wooden aesthetic. Dining is casual sit down, you can also take your order to go. We got our orders after ordering through a waiter and waiting about 10-15ish minutes for our food. I got the 16oz Ribeye for $34, which came with two sides that you can select from the menu. I picked Ranch Beans and Texas Caviar as my two sides. For the steak, I ordered medium, which was done perfectly - good crust on the outside and a juicy and flavorful interior! They used a different type of spice mix rather than just straight salt and pepper, as the steak itself had a smokey and stick to your ribs decadence that is impossible to replicate at home unless you got a smoker. The Texas Caviar served as a nice kind of salad and had a small bite of acidity to it, and the Ranch Beans hearty way to get back into eating the steak. This was a very indulgent meal and will stuff most people afterwards! I also got some options to go, which included some brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. Everything including the steak added up to $83, which I thought was a decent deal for all of the food that I got. The takeout definitely made up a couple of meals afterwards. I definitely think that Jack's BBQ is one of the better Texas BBQ restaurants that I have tried in Seattle so far! Price for the quality and quantity edges out similar restaurants by a bit and location isn't as difficult as if you were to go into Seattle to find BBQ. I would revisit Jack's BBQ if I'm ever feeling some hearty and luxurious Texas BBQ! (4.5 stars)

Jacks is awesome ! It feels like family from the get go ! I would definitely try the queso and chips with brisket for an appetizer!! Alex and Abe are the best !!

We actually did take out so I can't comment on the service. What I can talk about is the food. We ordered the Picnic. It was $94. I wanted leftovers. I did have enough for a couple of sandwiches and other meals. According to their menu it had lots of everything. This is a true statement. It contained brisket, ribs, sausage, pulled pork, and chicken. You also receive four sides for that price. We chose cornbread, potato salad, the Texas Chili and the queso mac and cheese. I also ordered Texas caviar. Let's talk about the brisket. This was probably my favorite of everything. It was delicious with just the right amount of fat. The smoke ring was visible, the crust was flavorful and not too salty which can happen sometimes. The ribs were our next favorite. They were not super fall-off-the-bone tender but they were good. I think they were a little overcooked but the flavor was there. The pulled pork was average. This was not my favorite pulled pork by any means. it tasted fine but it was sort of blah. When you find someone who can actually smoke and barbecue chicken, please let me know. Jack's chicken is like everybody else's, super over dry. I chopped it up the next day and used it in a pasta chicken salad. The smoke flavor came through and I did like that but it was too dry. The sides were a massacre. Most places focus on the meat and miss the sides. Jack's is no exception. The cornbread was dry and crumbly with little flavor. The Texas Chili was okay but just okay. The queso mac and cheese tasted exactly like macaroni with a store-bought queso. The potato salad was pretty good but a little on the dryer side. Overall, we'd eat there again. There was a lot of food for the cost and the brisket is a good, solid brisket.

Austin landed in Bellevue! Great spot for legit BBQ on the Eastside. We'll definitely be back for more. We ordered the two-meat plate with chopped Dallas-style brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was the star -- juicy, flavorful, and the clear favorite at our table. Sides were mustard potato salad and beans. The potato salad had a great flavor, and the beans were a surprise hit -- not the usual sugary BBQ beans, but more savory and seriously delicious. Will be back!

This was some of the dryest, toughest brisket I've ever had. I'm not sure how this place has such good reviews. The chili was too salty & I bit into a tough, bitter, chalky piece of meat in it.

First time at this location, I've been at the original one in Georgetown and multiple times at the one in the Microsoft food hall in bldg 4. I really love Jack's! When you step in into this location you get teleported to Texas (or at least, to a place that in my fantasy looks like Texas). Country music, very rustic ambiance, country imagery, game trophies on the walls, etc. We got the double trouble and the Texas Trinity with a mix of sliced brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs and sausages. Everything was delicious. The brisket was moist and fatty, no dry parts! Pulled pork fantastic, the ribs were melt in your mouth tender, the sausage was ok, too many spices inside for my taste. We also got 4 different sides which were ok. Service was courteous and fast. Highly recommended!

Came here to meet some friends for dinner. Some had been here before and really liked it, and some just really like BBQ. I'm not a huge BBQ fan, so I got the Grande Nachos with brisket, which was really good. My bf is a BBQ fan, so he got the Double Trouble BBQ Plate with Brisket and Pork Ribs, and with the Buttermilk Cornbread and Garlicky Mashed Potatoes for the sides. I also got the side of Garlic Chili Green Beans. Everything was tasty. My bf enjoyed his meal, and so did the rest of the table. Our server was excellent.

This is one of my significant other's favorites, and for the first time, I ordered it to be delivered. It did take about an hour to get to me, so I put my ribs and fries in the air frier to warm them up. The ribs were really big and had such a great taste to them. I added some of my spicy bbq sauce from Austin that I love which made this meal even better! I'd love to visit this restaurant soon, and enjoy these ribs nice and fresh!

Ooo boy! We gotta BBQ joint in the BelRed! Came in on a Friday evening just before the 6 pm rush and seated promptly at a half booth table. There's music and TVs around the place. Friendly waitress who was always attentive and around when we needed her. Sauce on the table, check! We ordered the Picnic - We want to sample everything and see what's our fave. Teens didn't want to share so one ordered the steak dinner with Texas Chili (nice & meaty) and the MacNcheese. Other teen went with the brisket plate, cornbread (smooth like corncake and smothered in honey butter) and MacNcheese. The Picnic: 2 sausages for which we picked jalapeño cheese, half a chicken, brisket, pork ribs, and a nice pile of pulled pork. We paired it with garlic mash, garlic chili green beans, coleslaw, and collard greens. The meats - wow! Nicely done. I'm always impressed when a BBQ joint does chicken well. They brine it, folks! Yes!!!! That's the key to moist chicken. Sorry, I said meats and started talking about fowl, but it's a great indicator. Now, it was smart of my teen to get the brisket plate for himself because that's the first thing that disappeared from the Picnic tray. I seriously cannot wait to try their burnt ends next time. Brisket, check! Pulled pork - moist and savory with a couple crispy edges - Check. Piled high, check check! Oh I almost forgot, you get a basket of fixin's to include fresh quick pickles, onions, jalapeños, and sliced bread. The sides: Collard greens were fantastic with chunky meat surprises, lots of flavor. Texas chili with nice heat and chunks of meat, topped with cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Cornbread was heavenly and enough to share. Green beans (seasonal) were tasty, cooked just right with some crisp left. Coleslaw is creamy and savory, pairs well with the BBQ. Mash was a bit thin for my taste. And the Mac was a bit dry. Those were our only misses, but I don't come to BBQ for the sides. It's great when there's a winning side, don't get me wrong, and there's plenty of sides here to pick from. You won't leave hungry! My teens cleared their steak and brisket. And, We took a significant amount of the Picnic home. Thrilled to have leftover yummy BBQ for the next day. I should mention that we were also checked on by the owner and manager separately who were pleasant to talk to and attentive. We are thrilled Jack's is here in BelRed. Look forward to returning. EDIT TO ADD: Somehow I didn't mention the pork ribs properly. They were meaty, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. Delish!!! Sorry I don't know how I forgot to elaborate.

I came here for a quick bite before attending a nearby Yelp Elite event. Apparently this place used to be a Mexican food restaurant and later an Indian Food Restaurant. Now it's a new Jack's BBQ location! I've been to the Jack's locations in Sodo and Algona and loved the food at both. This location is super convenient for me but the ambiance is more Bellevue and less Texas which Sodo and Algona have. But I'm here for the food! I sat at the bar and had a Chopped Brisket Sandwich which came with a choice of sides. I selected the Texas Chili (no beans!) as my side. I had a couple of Oktoberfest Beers to accompany my meal. My server was the bartender and do-everything staffer and was super nice and friendly. I love the food at Jack's and will definitely return one day, especially now that the location is a lot closer to home for me.

Really good Texas style barbeque in the Seattle metro area. My wife and I planned an impromptu, short weekend visit to our daughter and her fiancé, who live in Bellevue, WA. She knows how much my wife loves Texas style smoked brisket, so suggested getting carry-out for the four of us on a Saturday night. The Picnic meal ($86) came with brisket (2-3 slices), 3 full pork ribs (basically spare ribs), 2 sausages (1 jalapeno cheddar and the other hot link), 1/3 of a chicken, and a bit of pulled pork. If you accept the price they charge for each item separately, then getting them via a 'picnic meal' is a good deal. You get your choice of 4 sides, and with our choicers b being remoulade coleslaw, cornbread, ranch beans, and mashed potatoes. When you put the food together, it sure didn't feel like a 100 dollars worth of food. But good BBQ (when you can find it) is expensive on the West Coast, and this is no exception. I thought the brisket was excellent: we got slices from the flat end of the brisket, and the meat did indeed break apart in your fingers and melt in your mouth. It's the type of dish where because there is only a limited amount (definitely not enough for even 1 hungry person), how much you take and eat is determined by the closeness of your fellow diners: with strangers or casual co-workers you are taking as much as you can (shaming be damned). But with your closest family, you get just enough for a taste (so I could write about it) and save it for your loved ones. And sure enough, the brisket was the first thing gone. As for the rest of the meal, different people in the group had different opinions. I liked the spare ribs quite a bit. It had been heavily dry rubbed, and smoked beautifully with a very visible smoke ring. And the firmness of the meat was perfectly done. One of the sausage links, I really liked and the other one not so much....wish I could definitively say which was the hot link and the other cheddar. The chicken was well prepared, with the skin crisped expertly. The pulled pork was just OK. The portion sizes for the sides were between a single serving and what restaurants might call a large (e.g. the mashed potatoes being enough for 2 people)...which makes sense, since this picnic meal is meant for 2 really hungry people or 4 normal. As for the taste, I wasn't a fan. The cole slaw tasted off, the mashed potatoes should really be called whipped potatoes...almost runny, and the ranch beans weren't as good as I would expect. And strangely, there was no warm, bbq sauce provided as part of this. The chicken and pulled pork could definitely have used it. The meal did come with the requisite raw white onion, a few house made pickle slices, and two pieces of white bread. Thinking if you like that part of a barbeque meal, you should dine-in where they will give you more (I assume). So if you are willing to pay the price for genuine texas-style bbq, and don't care as much about the sides, this location of Jack's BBQ should be on the list of dine-in stops, when in Bellevue.

I have been here a couple times. The ribs are good. The parking is not good during the busy times. There are not a lot of choices for bbq on the east side. This is out of the way but usually worth the drive

Came here for a work-related meetup and having already eaten I only settle for some light bites and drinks. There doesn't seem to be too many dedicated BBQ places in the area, and they seem to pride themselves being a central Texas authentic place BBQ'ing over post oak, mesquite and hickory. I got apps for the table including - hushpuppies, chips and queso and The Fried pickle jar. Buttermilk Hushpuppies were hot and filling. The honey butter it came with was great and was a favorite dipping choice over the queso sauce which actually wasn't all that great. Tried some of my friends al la carte brisket which was tender and had a smoked flavor. I'd have to come back here for a full meal, but the service was good, and they accommodated us well. Other than that, decent BBQ spot.

awesome food and as good as we get when we were living in TX. Smoked brisket is our favorite .

6.28.2024 Step into the smoky embrace of Jack's BBQ Grill, where the chef's slow-cooked meats with laughter and good times! This ain't your fancy-pants, white-tablecloth joint--here, it's all about finger-lickin' goodness and a side of down-home vibes :) Service was very friendly and quick.

This place was dynamite. I live in LA and we don't have a lot of good BBQ and I love to eat BBQ when I'm in Texas every year. We got ribs which were smoky and tasty. Brisket that was perfection. Smoky fatty and a big portion of I always like to get collard greens and these were great. Smoky, bitter and chunks of meat inside. I could eat a vat of them. Ha! Coleslaw was a nice vinegary version and not the sloppy creamy stuff you might expect. Nice. Cornbread was also very good with honey butter. The Mac n cheese was just ok. However, better than at some other spots. Jack, you're killing it and I'll be back next time I'm in town visiting. Thanks!

Great brisket sandwich, very juicy and with just the right amount of sauce. Fries were too big to finish. Piled high and shared but still plenty left over. Delicious!

We went there on Saturday night for birthday celebration. The parking was complimentary and the location was convenient. When we walked in, ambiance was laidback and smoky aroma was filled in the air. Server was attentive despite being busy. We ordered some appetizers, hush puppies, fried pickles, drinks, double trouble and bbq sandwich. Everything was delicious. I recently returned from Texas and very impressed how legit of the brisket was here. Great experience!! We will definitely come back!

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and finally got the chance to try the food through a massive catering order. I got a little sample of basically everything, and can definitely say that the quality is there. Out of all the items I tried, my favorites were the brisket, hot link sausage, and the chicken (surprisingly). The ribs were good though a bit bland for me, and the pulled pork was great with the sauce. I looooved the jalapeno sauce which I thought was so much better than the original sauce. Their potato salad was also quite good along with the sage sausage. I wasn't the biggest fan of the beans though. If you're craving bbq, Jack's is a great spot for it. You get your whole spread of everything with a fantastic sauce!

We've eaten in and gotten pick up multiple times since they opened in Redmond. The food here always hits the spot when we're craving BBQ, whether it's the meat by the pound, plates, specials or the sides. We've had many different items on their menu and haven't been disappointed yet. Parking is available in private lots out front and back.

All the dishes we've ordered here are savory and service is excellent. It's nice to find authentic BBQ in the city

I didn't know Jack's Bbq had a spot off BelRrd road, but checked this out after seeing it today. The sides that my son and I got were all very good, but I felt like the Brisket was lacking taste. I think the BBQ at Jack's in SODO is better. Our sever was very good, but there was another server that seemed a little too loud. SRV photo on the side was cool though. How can you not like a place that has a picture of Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Unfortunately did not hit the mark. I arrived Saturday evening and was sat fairly quickly at a small table in the bar section. The waiter was nice, and they let me bring in my hydroflask, which I appreciate. I ordered the Dallas-style brisket and pulled pork w/ sides of mac n cheese and French fries. None of the food was actually hot when it was served :/ I also requested the "fixins", which I never received even though the server said "I'll be right back with your fixins" when he served my meal. The pulled pork was quite good! The brisket was just fine, and I'd like to try the Austin style without the sauce. The Mac was good (except for the chunks of tomato in it from the queso? Not a fan), and the fries would have been good if hot and w any sauce. The water for my table was served in a debranded Hornitos bottle (other tables had other nameless glass bottles), which I enjoyed even tho I brought my hydroflask. I'll probably go back eventually to find my favorites on the menu, but the overall experience was disappointing for a first visit.

First thing you would notice is that the ambience is pretty good. Well decorated and had abundant amount of seats. We got seated immediately and had our order put in quickly. The service was top notch, the waiter was really friendly and helpful. The food was a bit mediocre. The sausage was good, the r brisket was quite dry and not as seasoned, the ribs were okay, would have preferred more flavor for my meats. Sides were good. Overall, good ambience, would try again in the future to see if they have improved their meats.

As a Texan (and Aggie whoop) it's been a while since I've had some good BBQ. Jack's definitely hit the spot. I almost forgot I was in WA because it felt like TX in there! My husband and I went on Friday night around 6pm and it was packed. We only waited 5 minutes for a booth though. Once seated, our waiter was so friendly and attentive. I got the smoked sweet tea which was very refreshing! It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me and I liked the smoky taste. We ordered the queso and chips and they added the brisket on for us since there was a bit of a wait for the food. I'm so glad they added the brisket because we would've missed out! It was a delicious appetizer and we ate it up so fast. I got the brisket sandwich with queso Mac and cheese and my husband got the brisket plate with the Mac and mashed potatoes. Both plates were great portions, the brisket plate came with 4 strips of brisket and after the queso my husband was only able to finish half! The Mac and cheese wasn't what we expected but we ended up loving it. It had a tiny bit of a kick! The mashed potatoes were the favorite between the two sides though. They were so smooth and creamy! Overall, we will definitely be coming back regularly!

Jack has done it again!! I was lucky enough to attend his soft opening in the old Mayuri location that he has gussied up to feel like an upscale Texas BBQ joint. The food and service could not have been better. Yes, it was a soft opening, but I've never been to a perfectly executed one. This was seamless and the food was cooked perfectly with a full house and a lot of turnover. The staff encouraged us to challenge the kitchen and over order. We did and we ate most of it. What we didn't was eaten the next day as leftovers. The brisket, ribs, sausage, pork, hush puppies, and everything else in the photos was perfectly, prepared, smoked and juicy. The Texas caviar is always one of my favs at his places. The bartenders are clearly top notch as well. Fantastic Manhatten! The good news with this location is the opening GM lives 5 minutes away and plans to spend her foreseeable future ensuring Bellevue has a real BBQ joint that meets the expectations set at this opening. Really grateful this opened and now I can save the trek across the bridge to the Sodo location!

My favorite, local BBQ joint has opened on the eastside! WOOT! I was ecstatic to hear that Jack's BBQ was taking over the old Mayuri restaurant along Bel-Red road, as I anticipated an opening ever since it had its pop-up location in Bellevue during COVID. Now, it's finally here. My partner and I visited Jack's BBQ during opening day where we talked to the man himself, Jack! He was there, very hospitable and friendly, greeting guests and clearing tables. We visited during dinner time and the place was packed. We were able to snag a seat outside on the patio where it's dog friendly and there's cornhole. Like ol' Texas style, I love that the tables were picnic style outside. Inside, it's plenty of booth seating with a small bar area. The menu features a lot more than its OG location in SODO, as it incorporates what's offered at SODO and Algona. Therefore, you have the classic BBQ entrees, along with steaks, sandwiches, and breakfast items AKA the eastside location is the best location! We got it all, yo! Now the decision on what to order will be your biggest challenge here. My partner and I shared the picnic platter, which comes with all brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs, jalapeno sausage and chicken, and four sides of our choosing. When we visited, they didn't have chicken, which was no big deal as we wanted to double up on our favorite protein here anyway - the brisket. Brisket is king here. But I mean, everything of the picnic platter was delicious! If I had to rank the meats, it goes: brisket, pork ribs, jalapeno beef sausage and then pulled pork. For our sides, we chose the cornbread, queso mac and cheese, collard greens and chili. Again, everything was delicious, which includes the sides. But damn, I am in love with that cornbread. It's basically dessert. *Drooling* Also, Texas style chili is the best chili ever as it's ALL MEAT AND NO BEANS. Stop with these unnecessary fillers! I'm serious when I say I am coming back. Everything on this menu looked intriguing, like the catfish sandwich, chicken fried steak and tomahawk steak for two. Save room for dessert because I hear the banana cream pudding is a staff favorite. I've never made it this far, which I know is child's play. But one of these days I'm gonna try it. It's just that the BBQ is so dang good that I happily fill up on it. Speaking of filled up on, the picnic platter is way more food than just for two and I say this from two people who can eat a lot, love meat and constantly work out. Not trying to impress you with my gun show, but yeah. The portions are hefty here. Love everything about Jack's BBQ, a piece of central Texas in Washington state. It's my favorite region of BBQ and am so glad Jack, the Texan has moved over to the Pacific Northwest to give us Washingtonians something that's hard to get - damn good, Texan BBQ.

Omg! Their bbq is to die for. Love the smoked sausage!! I wish they have rice!!! Lolol just the asian in me but everything else is amazing

In town and was at a hotel nearby looking for some food to get delivered and stumbled on this! Looked highly rated so I gave it a chance. I ordered delivery through their website because they have more options there than Uber eats. I opted for the spicy Caesar salad with brisket and piece of pecan pie. The brisket came on the side and it was a hefty portion which was great. Delicious salad probably could have had some more leafy greens but no complaints. The pecan pie was good came with some whipped cream. It wasn't the best pecan pie I've had but I thought it was delicious nonetheless I'm sure this place is even better in person so would love to try dining in

Used to go to the ones in Seattle (the south Seattle one right before Georgetown - the big one; and the one in SLU) all the time. Greatness. But now that there's one close to home in Bellevue, we order here quite a bit, including via Uber Eats. I pretty much stick to the brisket and order the collard greens by the quart. By the quart! Literally! Yes, there's not much real competition here in the PNW for collard greens, but the version Jack's makes is legit.

Hot damn! I finally found a BBQ place I dig. Best brisket I've had in a while. Well seasoned. Beautiful house BBQ sauce. Smooth and slightly sweet corn pudding. Soft and moist collared greens. Mmmmm. Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. That spiked iced tea. You can't tell much of a difference. Vodka didn't overkill it. Thank God. Servers were direct and to the point. No misfires! I love the decor here. It adds to the authentic Texas BBQ vibes they're aiming for. Right, go visit them!

Fine BBQ in a former Shakey's? Yep. Sandwich, chili and slaw were all superb. I'll be back.

I met a friend here for dinner the other day and had a wonderful time. This is the type of place you can go with friends and family and feel welcome without the music blaring at you. We were able to have a regular volume conversation over some amazing food. The fried pickles are incredible. I'd order them again in a heartbeat. Just delicious. The brisket was incredible. They definitely have a clean smoke going, and the flavors of the brisket itself were all in tact. Our waiter was a delight. He was attentive and friendly. The person I assume was the owner dropped by our table and brought up some fun, organic conversation. I'm really glad to have a Jack's in the neighborhood and I'll certainly be back!

This place is so amazing, we went there 5 times in the first week they were open!! I am not easily "wow'ed" but their food AND service is amazing EVERY SINGLE TIME we go. And every time, we get a different server and order a different meal. Incredible!! So I tell you all this hoping that it does not get so busy that I will have a long wait in the future...so let me cut ahead in line, okay?! :) The meat is made Texas style so the meat is flavored in a way that you do not need sauce since it is sooo good as is. Of course, they have great sauce if you love sauce and want to add some. Note that most BBQ places have chicken that is just fine, nothing too exciting. This chicken is flavored so well and is the perfect texture and it is not dry! They have some sort of secret to recruiting staff that seem to love their jobs! Seriously! All the waitstaff seem happy to be there and wanting to make sure you get exactly what you want and that you love your meal. They know the menu and food so well. I love going there since it is always a great experience. Amazing food, people that are happy to help you, clean restaurant...what could be better? Also, they have a full cheat sheet for dietary restrictions and even have many vegan options so everyone is covered!! You are going to love it!!! (And now I am hungry after writing this review...guess where I am going...)

eaten here twice. food was mediocre. Biscuits were hard and crumbly. Gravy was cool, not even warm. service was fair but staff was very kind. the music is loud. wifi? they "don't have it". per the manager, this area has insufficient bandwidth for them to run the business and provide patrons wifi.

Been craving Texas BBQ ever since I got back from...well Texas. I thought I would be disappointed since there really isn't too much option here in the Seattle area for this specific cuisine, but the brisket here was very on par, very moist and flavorful. It didn't need any sauce, but whatever their house sauce on the table was was good so I like adding it in. Sad that this took over one of my favorite Indian restaurant, but it's a nice addition to the east side with plenty of parking. I guess this is their 2nd location so anytime a business opens up another location, it has to be a good sign. Their brisket is definitely something to try, but I'd recommend getting the combo where you get a selection of 2 or 3 different kinds with a few sides to try a variety. Depends on how many people you are sharing it with I guess. For 2, 2 meats and 2 sides was plenty. It didn't look like much food, but it's rich and gets filling as we're eating it. Thought we would have room for dessert, but we didn't. HAHA. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

Got take out so can't comment on the service. Got the pulled pork sandwich and fries, lots of meat on the sandwich sauce was good. I wish there was more coleslaw for take out. The fries looked well seasoned but didn't have much flavor, they were well cooked though.

Great BBQ! I'm not sure how many BBQ places in city of Bellevue, but this place is legit. Working in seattle many years, going to pecos pit, hole in the wall, etc. jacks bbq equals them and better. Hole in the wall lost quality when the original owner sold it off. Pecos has remained the same. Jacks is better than both. Their brisket has an awesome thick and tasty bark. Very tender. Their garlics mashed potatoes are outstanding. Their chili is surprisingly loaded witv brisket (a Texas chili- no beans, just meat). This place will be an absolute repeat. I can't speak much about venue, i got my order to go for dinner later that night (fyi it all reheated nicely).

Came a few weeks ago, pretty quickly after their opening and there were definitely some opening pains. Not going to comment too much on the details, but the (manager?) was very generous and was super apologetic. I ended up opting for the brisket sandwich (mainly to judge the brisket) and it's tasty! Good bark, happy that I opted for the point cuts. Generous portion of brisket for the sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Certainly I can smoke my own brisket (and have many times!) but it's nice to have a spot to come grab one on a whim without going thru the whole smoking process.

Tasty and juicy Texas brisket and pork ribs! Enjoy Texas caviar and unsweetened iced tea. Country style environment, relaxing atmosphere and friendly service.

Allegedly central Texas BBQ, Jack's fell short in all directions. Beef rib night? No ribs despite an early dinner time. Corn pudding was gritty, moist bbq was dry with a big swath of unrendered fat, something that should rarely occur if trimmed correctly. Our server did her best but it didn't stand up to a poor excuse for central bbq despite all the pics with local Texas bbq celebs. Even the interior of the restaurant reflected a cartoonish version of what central Texas is like and was borderline insulting. Save your money folks and get the real thing.

This review is from a recent pickup experience so I cannot discuss much around the service provided. I ordered the brisket plate with two sides, all the fixings, and an extra order of two sausages (one regular and one jalapeño cheddar). For my sides I got the greens and the Mac and cheese. The pros: The fattier brisket piece, the greens, and Mac and cheese were strong items. I'd get these again.the fattier piece of brisket was moist due to the fat content and the meat was smoked well. Was seasoned well and not too salty with the sauce. The greens were soft but still had some texture to them with noticeable meat chunks in it. Maybe could use a little more vinegar but I liked it overall. Mac and cheese was thick and creamy. The cons: the leaner brisket piece was pretty dry and harder texture. This totally makes sense but still worth noting. The fixings....2 white bread slices were fine but the onions/pickles were pretty laughable. Not in terms of taste really. More so in terms of quantity. I had like four onion strands and one pickle slice. Needed way more so if you order to go, I recommend asking for extra of this. My hot bbq sauce had a hair strand in it also, you can see it in one of the pictures. The sausages were just ok to me. Very smoky flavor which I liked and the casing had a nice chew but it was not very snappy. Maybe they're a bit on the older side or something. Overall I think the food was okay. I'd give this experience a 3.5/5 based on food taste alone

Waited 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us to take our order. We finally flagged down a waitress who said we weren't her section but she'd take our order. We waited another ten minutes and still didn't get our drinks. We left.

Glad we finally got a great BBQ place on our side of the lake. Plenty of parking outside and pretty big restaurant on the inside with an outdoor patio. Service was outstanding, Michelle was a hoot. We tried their ribs, pulled pork, brisket and a couple of sides. The meat was outstanding, delicious and juicy. We both weren't a fan of the potato salad, it had tons of mustard in it, but the slaw was nice. They also have two of their BBQ sauces on the table and the spicy one was definitely our favorite. We'll be back.

Super friendly service and welcoming atmosphere- and as an added bonus, it smelled great as soon as we walked in. Our waiter was very dedicated, going to check if the kitchen had plain pulled chicken when I asked (sadly they didn't, but I'm glad he tried) and taking our order efficiently. I got a pulled pork sandwich with collard greens. Pork was perfectly seasoned and cooked- slightly greasy but not so bad that I couldn't enjoy it. Collard greens were too salty imo, but had good smoky flavor. Bun could have done without the butter, as it was just oily. The meat is what counts, and the meat was great. It's a cool place to come, especially for breakfast as it's not too busy at that hour.

There are many reasons why we don't eat bbq from local restaurants and here are some of the reasons why we won't be coming back to jacks bbq in bellevue. We arrived around 1245 and there's were 4 other tables. Here's everything we ordered, *Fries *Double trouble w half chicken and ribs w potato salad/mac and cheese *The trinity w chilli and cornbread The highlight of our lunch were the fries and sodas. The fries were HOT fresh crispy and had flavor. Everything else came out barely warm to the touch and flavorless. We had to ask for salt and pepper to try and salvage our sides. Wish their bbq sauce wasn't basic, to help the meats. The brisket, didn't taste like anything. Not beefy. Just flavorless fatty in texture, tender and juicy, but not a lick of flavor. The ribs had the most flavor, but they were borderline room tem and dry, so that took away from the overall flavor profile. Nothing had a crust or crisp to it. The chicken wasn't dry and was the warmest of everything we ordered. The skin was past rubbery. The sausages were blah. I've had better sausages off food carts in seattle. We dug in the second everything came out and nothing was close to being warm in temperature. It's like if you were served food at a family party where everything was just sitting out. Overall, it's a no for us. We wanted to like it sooo much, with all the great reviews and being in our neighborhood. I've had better food at famous Dave's.

Absolutely Fantastique'! OK- right now, we are all trying to work and live in the aftermath of the 2024 Bomb Cyclone event. I have been working this whole week at my office's emergency command center. Three times a day, there are 30-40 people to feed, so they can function in their emergency roles. So, today, I needed to order lunch, and decided to call Jack's, to see if they could take care of lunch. I spoke to Robert, the chef. He was so accommodating, and patient while I asked him logistical questions. With only a two-hour window of time, Jack's BBQ came through. EVERYTHING was delicious, and we had shout-outs in the office for the hot, fresh food. I didn't have time to take pictures, but all of the meats were delicious, and the other entrees, especially the Mushrooms were a huge hit! Please, please support this local business, as they are complete SuperStars!

Finally, a BBQ place in the Redmond/Bellevue area. We had the rips, brisket and pulled pork with potato salat and coleslaw. Staff is friendly and quick. We will be back.
