Jack’s Bar-B-Q

Had Jack’s for lunch todayy… I had smoked chicken and the famous garlic Cole slaw! It was amazing you have to go check it out! They don’t advertise so I am always trying to spread the word!

The man who dealt with my food was very personable and was helping me decide what to eat. (the woman however was very rude and halfway threw my food at me after checking out) BUT. The food is good if you’re craving barbecue and the macaroni and okra are both delicious as well.

I’ve had some decent food at Jack’s Bar-​B-​Q, particularly a great loaded baked pototo with smoked pulled pork. This is a good place to go to when you have a craving for a loaded baked pototo with meat. It’s not perfect (there isn’t enough smoke flavor on the smoked meat), but it is still good bbq.
Jack’s Bar-​B-​Q is truly a small business, with approximately 6 booths and four 6 top tables. It is clean and the staff is friendly. You can call in your order for pick-​up and have it ready in a few minutes. If you dine in, you order up front similiar to how you order at deli sandwich places. You can choose different meats and sides, most of it already on display in the case up front. If you dine in, you have the option of adding relish, peppers, or pickles to your order. They have BBQ sauce at the tables, but if you pick up your order you can also get a small container of the mild BBQ sauce or spicy BBQ sauce. The spicy BBQ sauce isn’t really hot but it does have a nice gradual warming heat to it. They have a standard coke fountain as well as a small fridge with Crush strawberry and orange, A&W root beer and Mountain Dew. There is also unsweet and sweet tea available.
Jack’s offers daily specials and sell its smoked meats by the pound if you are super hungry or trying to feed a crowd. Overall, their prices are fair and make a great lunch deal.

We were craving BBQ and decided to stop at Jacks. The brisket was delicious and was the hot sauce. Sides were ok but nothing to get to excited about. The brisket is what make me give them four stars. One thing I hate is to get brisket or any meat for that matter and it has a lot of fat on it. Not this. It was perfect. Will defiantly be back.

Man, that BARK… and we are NOT talking about trees here!
This place has been here awhile. It’s a reincarnation reopening from years ago. Supposedly same recipes. I think it’s improved from when they first reopened. Try the ribs!
Meaty. Bark from smoke. Great rub. Tender but not mushy boiled tender. Good rub so the ribs were tasty even without sauce. But I like sauce so I enjoyed tasting them both ways!
BBQ Beans had a little bit of added meat to them. Very good… not great. But very good. Other sides were quite adequate. And they toast BOTH sides of the bread as one famous BBQ blogger thinks adds to a places «Panache’ ” LOL
I don’t think you can go wrong with trying ‘cue at this place. Atmosphere nothing to write home to «momma» about but the food sure was!
Will not stay away as long this time AND they DO take credit cards now… no matter what some reviewers say below.

Another trip another great meal and the ribs were very tasty and the slaw I love a bit skimpy on the slaw order

Yeah, it is the best bbq I have come across in Oklahoma so far. I give points to other reviewers on that. Im deducting a star simply because I ran out of food too fast. It’s like it just magically disappears into mah belly too quickly. Very delicious and for a reasonable price. Brisket was tender, ribs were magic, cole slaw was amazing. I love vinegar-​based bbq, and Jack’s delivers.

Excellent brisket. Didn’t waste time on sides. Got the lb of brisket and it was really good, best I’ve had in OKC thus far. I’m still looking for great as these Oklahoma restaurants seem to be short on bark or a heavy smoke flavor. This was solid, nonetheless. This is by far the best sauce I’ve found in OKC as well. I tried both mild and hot and they were both excellent. I will be back!

I went to Jack’s this week for the first time in 10 years and wow, as Bob Dylan sings «things have changed».
Had a Big Mike sandwich, Jack’s potatoes and Jack’s garlic slaw.
The food was good the staff was friendly but I gotta tell you as strange as it sounds, the place is too clean!
I miss the old Jack’s! It looked and smelled like a BBQ joint. Been here since 1963 and it’ll be here a while longer I’m sure.
The brisket was the best.

Meh, eh. I am still a die hard Swadleys fan.
I did not care for the bbq sauce. I found it a bit too vinegary, like more memphis style. The mac and cheese SUCKED. I found it inedible. The baked beans were pretty good. They were sweet at first and then a little spicy. The pulled pork wasn’t bad. It wasn’t dry. It wasn’t fabulous either though. Nothing that set it apart from anything else.
I probably won’t go back. Swadleys is right down the road so why settle for mediocrity.

Pretty good.
Decent sides.
Nothing fancy, just Q

Just OK — meat had been wrapped up and steaming, so no good crust. Tried a multiple meat platter, sides were more of the star.
BBQ sauce held its own, and was definitely needed
Much better places around, but ok in a pinch vs the other options in the area.

I grew up on Jack’s BBQ so its only fitting that I submit a Unilocal review. Jack’s BBQ would always cater our high school football awards banquet. We all raved about the food and BBQ sauce after finishing up a meal! I was especially found of their tender ribs dipped with their spicy and sweet BBQ sauce.
The workers have been holding it down for many moons providing BBQ food and service to greater Northwest OKC. Jack’s BBQ is so iconic that the restaurant been featured on KFOR’s «Is this a great state or what» highlighting the Okie Hospitality food and service. Patrons can always stop by here for a meal to discuss politics and sports.
During my last visit to Jack’s, when I resided in OKC, I brought the girl (who I was dating at the time) for dinner. Upon ordering I presented my credit card to pay. The worker stated they don’t accept cards but we could eat here for free as long as we come back in the future. I’m guessing our free meal was not based on my good looks but to my girl’s. Fortunately she was blessed and we did not pay for our meals.
So lesson learned, bring cash or a hot date and you too can enjoy some Jack’s BBQ!
