JACK'S BBQ REVIEWS

Wow, what an awesome BBQ spot! Our whole group is from Texas, so we’ve got high standards, and Jack’s totally delivered. The BBQ was on point, and the sides? Next level—mac & cheese, cornbread, turnip greens, and cornbread pudding were all so good. We started with the fried pickle jar as an appetizer, and it did not disappoint. For the main course, we went with the $88 Picnic, and it easily fed six adults and four kids. But the real cherry on top was the service—Mike was amazing! Super helpful, friendly, and quick. Big thumbs up all around!

We loved our time at Jack’s. I’m Southern and have missed really good barbecue and moreover the authentic side dishes. When our original dinner plans didn’t work out, Jack’s had us covered. The top notch service, great drinks and fun atmosphere was out done only by the delicious food. I even had sweet tea that I didn’t have to make at home myself!

Best barbeque in town! From the brisket to the unbelievably tasty sides this place does Texas proud! Don't forget to have the chocolate buttermilk pie like Grandma used to make...yums.

WOOD SHOP BBQ REVIEWS

My husband and I were in Seattle and wanted to check out a good bbq place as this is one of the dishes we always seek when traveling. Baby let me tell you, this food was so good. I had smoked wings and loved them, smoked yet crispy with a rub on them. The ribs were so meaty and fall off the bones. Very good flavor not over cooked or salty. Just perfect. I will definitely go back when visiting again.

Wings are amazing. The house special sauces bring everything together perfectly. I really enjoyed the mac n cheese brisket. Soo good, it melt in your mouth. Definitely the place to check out in seattle.

Not surprised this is the best rated BBQ in Seattle. Loved everything and had a great experience. Would definitely recommend.

JONES BARBEQUE REVIEWS

I was craving bbq , Googled, and found this lil'bbq spot. It seems they have a good history behind it. I was indecisive and inquired some suggestions on a sandwich. The counter person recommended the pork, so I got the special. I forgot the name, but it's named after a girl. Josephine special, I think ; which is pulled pork piled with coleslaw, and it comes with fries. I took it to go and opened it up at the park, and low and behold, it was piled high with pork. Luckily, it came with 2 slices of bread because I had made 2 opened sandwiches out of it and still had leftover meat for another 2 if I had extra buns! The price was, I think, $13 + tip came out to 16ish. I highly recommend this lil'bbq spot! More meat for the buck! Thank you! Parking: It's a shared parking amongst the 2 other tenants; an art collaboration business and a brewery. Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and dessert pies. Wheelchair accessibility: It's a regular door that was prompt open which created an open area to the streets side seating outside.

Always loved this food. Just picked up an order from the ghost kitchen in cap hill. To my surprise, they just threw in a piece of cornbread for free. It means a lot to me when a company goes out of its way to treat its customers better than they expect. Salute to you Jones BBQ, a class above!

The food is amazing and the service is great. They are so kind here. The ribs were delicious: Tender, juicy, and the sauce was the perfect amount of tangy and spicy. 100% recommend coming here for great barbecue.
