BlackJaxx Bar-B-Q-Homer, AK — Restaurant in Homer

Let me start off by saying that I’m a native Texan who lives here in Alaska now. Complimenting an Okie on their BBQ just isn’t something I expected to ever do, but here we are. I got the 3-meat plate with Ribs, Brisket, sausage, and then a double side of beans, a roll, and a coke to drink. All of that cost me $24. That’s not expensive for BBQ, especially good BBQ.

The first thing I ate were the ribs, and I’m upset about that because they were hands down the best part of the meal. The ribs were cooked to perfection. Fall off the bone. Even the fat was melt in your mouth which I’ve never had happen to me with ribs.

Next I had some of the sausage. It was definitely good, but not top 5 of all time for me. I personally prefer some Cajun in my sausage, but don’t let this part deter you from the sausage, because you won’t get anything this good here in Alaska.

I ate the roll next, and while I would prefer cornbread, because well, I love cornbread, this dinner roll was great.

Next was the brisket. I’d say top 10 brisket I’ve ever had. The smoke on it was fantastic, the flavor was again nothing like you’d ever get here in Alaska.

Last was the beans, they were made with either some brisket or pork mixed in, which gave it great smoke flavor, and I’m glad I got double beans because it was well worth it.

I WILL be back here many more times, and I do believe that the price for the food is too low. At least what I’m used to down in Texas, this food was well worth the price I paid. Sometime I’ll try the pork, bologna, and the chicken, but I think next time I’ll just get a half...

This place is so good! Best value on the spit and great flavor. Big servings. I dont even like baked beans and yet i order a double portion here. And the ribs have a fantastic smoky flavor that needs no sauce. We always stop here on summer trips to Homer. In 2025 a new BBQ truck opened in town. I tried it for comparison. At each I bought a 3 meat plate. The 3 meat plate from the comptetion was good but was $4 more than here, with much smaller sizes than BlackJaxx. Blackjaxx is better flavor, and they allow ribs as part of the meat options. I ate the competitions entire plate and left still hungry. I've NEVER eaten a three meat plate from Blackjaxx in one sitting. You cannot go wrong...

First time we have been through a "drive through" food truck and it was awesome! We stopped by after a long day on a charter fishing trip and picked up dinner to take home. We advised them that we're from Kansas City, and it's hard to beat KC BBQ, but I will confess this was GREAT BBQ. We had ribs, pulled pork, and chicken and sides of beans and slaw. Huge portions. We had enough leftover for the next night as well. Great food,...
