Jack Timmons grew up in Texas and has lived in Seattle for the last 2 decades. In 2012, he attended BBQ Summer Camp at the Meat Sciences department of Texas A&M, then toured many historic barbecue temples of Central Texas. Returning to Seattle, he bought an offset smoker, imported some post oak, mesquite and hickory, and started the Seattle Brisket Experience. After more than a year of practicing the art of barbecue, and serving old-school, succulent smoked meats to thousands of Northwest BBQ fans at BBQ raves, Jack opened a restaurant in the SoDo region of Seattle – Jack’s BBQ.
An eclectic setting complete with mismatched chairs & a lunchtime buffet serves up traditional BBQ.

Decided to try this BBQ spot on the way back from Seattle. This restaurant doesn’t accept cash and I appreciate that a sign is posted before you walk in. It wasn’t busy when we got in and we were seated quickly. I like the interior decorations and having the water already at the table. Our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered a few different items to try. Honestly my favorite dish was the frito pie and ribs with Jacks jalapeño bbq sauce. The brisket was tender and I liked the hot link sausage. The pulled pork had too much fat in it for my liking and I wasn’t a fan of the queso Mac and cheese. There was great char on the ribs and brisket. I enjoyed the house made pickles. Overall a good experience.

Great smoke house diner. Tacos are very filling and delicious, I recommend the beef bacon! The nachos are amazing and huge. Decor is warm and inviting. Staff was friendly too. Large TV with sports on, bar, and kitchen. Excited to come back to try more of the menu.

I came out to Jack’s BBQ in SODO in Seattle for some Texas Barbecue, which unlike St. Louis or Kansas City, relies on spice and smoke. For the uneducated, Texas BBQ is seasoned and placed in a smoker for something on the order of 12 hours.

I didn’t have a clue that bbq in Washington could compare with what I’ve had in Atlanta, but DAMN?! Jacks chili is the best I’ve had. Brisket, pulled pork and spare ribs were flawless – seasoned with only salt and pepper! Original sauce is ! Only minor challenge is that most items have spice, so be prepared!

It was Thursday so I did the beef rib. It was perfectly cooked and but very salty. Good crunchy bark but the salt overwhelmed everything.

Really good for a large-scale operation. Brisket was too lean and dry to be considered excellent, but it was decent enough for Seattle. The sides are very good, especially the Texas caviar. The beef bacon appetizer is excellent. I have never had bad service here, the staff are wonderful. They accommodated our very large group and the food all came at the same time and it was all hot.

Came to Seattle for work from Dallas and was missing good Texas brisket. Jack’s bbq hit the spot. Good bark, nice smoke ring. Lean was a lil dry and fibrous but nothing I’m not used to getting when ordering lean brisket. The Cole slaw was decent and not overly juicy. Some pepper would have picked it up really nice. The corn pudding cobbler or whatever it was called, so freaking delicious. I was stuffed from the brisket but had to finish the corn cobbler. You just can’t let something that delicious go to waste. I will be visiting here again, probably several times before I fly back to Texas.

We’ve been here several times and it never disappoints! The hush puppies are delicious and the half order of nachos didn’t disappoint. The half order was huge!! I would say the service was alright.

Good food but depending on what you’re getting, would recommend eating at the restaurant and not getting takeout. Trinity ranked: pork ribs, sausage, brisket—Ribs had smoky flavor and meaty texture, yum! Sausage was solid if that’s your thing. Brisket was pretty good but was not as flavorful as the ribs, and part of what I got was kinda tough and bland. Greens were excellent, and the chili could be its own meal with how much meat was in it. The loaded fries were delicious. The cobbler was tasty, but I think it’s probably only worth getting at the restaurant since the takeout portion is the same price but does not include the ice cream. Takeout was timely and well-packaged. I’d be interested to try the beef ribs and billionaire bacon to compare.
