Great food and service. Will definitely make my way down to SoDo to see where all the meat is smoked every day! The staff is very friendly and helpful, come check this place out if you're in the area.

Quick, easy, delicious. Will be back for sure! be sure to check out their sodo spot too, take a pit tour and see how they smoke all of their meats.

Convenient location in side the Columbia Tower food court. I was so happy to see a BBQ restaurant here. I ordered the two meat combo plate, which comes with a side. This time I got the brisket and sausage, with a side of mac and cheese. The brisket was very tasty with a delicious peppery bark. I appreciate not getting an overly fatty piece. The sausage was perfect with just enough flavor from the spices to not overwhelm my taste bugs. The mac and cheese was a decent quality. There is a self serve pepper, pickle, and onion station. You can also self serve slices of white bread.I thought I was going to have some leftovers for dinner, but I couldn't help myself and finished the whole thing off. Be prepared for an unproductive afternoon if you have this heavy lunch. It was delicious, but made me real sleepy :-)

Sauce on the side? Sour cream on brisket? Simultaneously operating a pit and a tex-mex restaurant, a "nashville" hot...and COLD frito pie? This is down-right criminal. If y'all were really from Texas y'all'd've done better. Bless your hearts.

Service was good but the brisket was awful and had absolutely no flavor, except now my burps smell like brisket. 1/10

So happy to see this place reopen in the Columbia Tower. Best barbecue in Seattle. Texas style and perfectly executed. I usually order the combo plate-brisket and sausage. Both meats are outstanding. Maybe the only bbq restaurants in Seattle that actually knows what smoked sausage is! The sides are delicious too. I've had the potato salad and the mac & cheese. I've been to the SODO location and they have Shiner Bock on tap. The best. If you are looking for good barbecue, go here or any of their locations. I highly recommend!

Meatiest ribs I’ve probably ever had from a bbq stand. I was completely shocked how meaty they were. I’m used to a slab of rin bones with a little meat between that you have to fight for. It’s not the best bbq stand I’ve been to. For that you have to go to Polson Montana. But man the crunchy bits on the brisket and ribs and the seasoning and stuff makes this worth four stars for sure.

Great place to pick up a quick lunch while at work or downtown. Smoked meats are delicious and the sandwiches are terrific as well!

Outstanding jalapeno cheddar sausage sandwich! The service is fast and friendly as well. I look forward to my next visit. ?
The food here is lovely. My favorites are the jalapeno cheddar sausage sandwiches and the ribs. Michael at the front counter was very friendly and provided wonderful service. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and recommended me items that would become my favorites. The nook that the restaurant sits in is a very warm and welcoming environment and is kept clean. I look forward to coming back again and trying more of the menu. Go say hi to Michael and see what he recommends!

My experience at Jack's BBQ was via a catered event at the columbia tower, and I am sad to report that it was very disappointing. They served the driest ribs in history. It was basically bone-in jerky and I had to use a lot of strength to cut through the meat (biting it off the bone was no better). I also tried their mac & cheese, brisket, sage chicken sausage, jalapeño cheddar sausage, pickles and beans. The beans, jalapeño sausage and brisket saved the day. If I were to eat there again, I would just get these 3 items (maybe the pickles too) and forego everything else. They also offered 2 types of sauces - spicy and mild, and they were pretty tasty. I ended up slathering the ribs in the sauce which helped a bit.

Tender moist delicious brisket, awesome greens, meaty chili, and perfect hush puppies. Our favorite BBQ. Staff is friendly and helpful. They also have a grest bar in SODO with Irish Death on tap. Couldn't want for more.

Good Seattle BBQ is hard to find. But you're already here if you're reading this review. Don't sleep on the chicken.
