I absolutely LOVE this place. We used to go to the Georgetown location all the time, so when they opened in Redmond/Bellevue, it felt like such a win. I still visit the original now and then, but this location has become part of my regular routine.
My usual lineup never changes because it’s just that good: the spicy Caesar salad, rib tips, brisket, and the jalapeño cheddar sausage link. Everything is consistently delicious.
The staff is incredibly friendly — genuinely warm, not just polite. Walking in feels a bit like visiting friends.
And as someone who lived in Texas, I can say this is the best Texas‑style BBQ around. They really get it right.
If you love great BBQ and a welcoming atmosphere, this spot is an easy favorite.

First time there. Atomosphere and service, all great.
Food was a mixed bag.
For our appetirizer, the Lonestar Fries hit the spot.
I had a Ribeye with I really like too. For sides, the mashed potates were just ok, and the chili was good, albeight it could have been warmer.
My wife had the Double Trouble. She thought her ribs and pulled pork were way too peppery. For sides, she really liked the Queso Mac & Cheese, but the Remoulade Colesaw was just ok.

I came here recently and it was decent. I had the Dallas-style Chopped Brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad. The brisket was quite a bit fattier than I was expecting; I know a good brisket has some fat in with the meat for moisture, but overall the meat in the sandwich lacked the beef density I prefer. Not bad at all, just not excellent. Maybe the Austin-style sliced brisket would be more what I was expecting? The potato salad on the other hand was great! Service was excellent, and prices weren’t awful ($19.75) for 2026’s “everything is expensive now” theme. If I’m in the area again I’ll try something else.

The 12 oz Ribeye was very good. More steak than your average steak houses! This was huge and awesome! The chili was great. Nice kick but could use more onions and cheese! The corn bread was great. Not too sweet and not too dry! Yum! The garlicky mash was a delight and had a good taste. Mac & cheese is creamy yet delicious! I tasted the brisket, mmmm! Moist, had a nice smoked ring and tasted delightful! But back to my ribeye! Med rare, had great sear and was excellent with the Jalapeño sauce on the table! Overall, great experience and “Jack” was right on in the video! Thank you.

P.S. We will be back and introduce this place to a new set of friends!

Food is so delicious especially the brisket. The brisket is so tender and juicy, just wished the portion can be a bit more generous instead two thin slices comparing to the steak portion. The additional $3 brisket for the queso and chips is just a small pinch too.

Being from Texas, I expected more. I got the chicken sammy, mac & cheese and then their corn pudding. My friends got the pulled pork sammy, coleslaw, and then burger, cornbread and Mac n cheese. My chicken Sammy was extremely disappointing. It was one chicken tender on a massive bun. The ratio made sense to them but not for the price. It was okay. MY mac n cheese was delicious. The corn pudding was absolutely amazing which is why I gave the place 2 stars. The coleslaw was weird and gross, so it was not eaten. At the end, our waiter did say we could have asked for something else but we didn’t know that. The mac n cheese my other friend got had a hair in it. I told and showed the waiter and they brought another one out, but they took too long we were all done eating. The cornbread was okay too. It was a bit too greasy from the topper.

The brisket was tough, the ribs were good. The pulled pork was so so corn pudding I did not like maybe I just don’t like corn pudding. It’s my first time having it the street corn which was a special not not on the regular menu. Despite it being October and corn. Being kind of out of season was really tender. It was actually the best thing on the plate. The peach cobbler was a bit burnt. Not very exciting at all in general. I really probably will not go back

We’ve been to other Jack’s locations, but this was our first time in Redmond. The food was the same high quality delicious barbecue. I ordered their steak tacos which were the PERFECT blend of heat and flavor. They were balanced and filling. The steak was diced and lean with cilantro and a fresh salsa. I also had their smoked old fashioned which I found to be consistent in quality (good) with their other locations! To wrap up the meal I had their banana pudding with Necco wafers. Dessert not only was vibrant, but it was nice to find fresh bananas throughout the pudding.
Parking was so easy and their staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Im very much looking forward to going back.

We decided to give Jack’s another try after they kindly reached out, and I’m so glad we did! This time, everything was much better, the brisket was tasty, the sides were great, and I absolutely loved the banana pudding.
More than the food itself, I really appreciate feeling heard. It’s clear that this place truly cares about its community and about improving. I’m happy I got the chance to change my opinion. Thank you, Jack’s BBQ!

I’m really disappointed with the brisket we ordered. It was dry, overcooked (my husband said it tasted like it had been cooked too fast), and the slices were very thick and uneven. Usually brisket is cut more evenly and thinner, which makes a big difference.
What makes me especially sad is that I’ve always gone to the Sodo location and the food has been absolutely amazing every time, no complaints at all. That’s why I had high expectations this time. Unfortunately, this was meant to be my husband’s birthday dinner, and it just didn’t live up to the experience we were hoping for.

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.
