By far the worst restaurant experience I’ve had in my life. I was told they were out of pulled pork and burnt ends at 7pm on a Friday. So I got brisket and jerk chicken along with Mac n cheese and pit beans. The food took 45 minutes, the portions were abysmal, and the food was cold. It looked like I was given the scraps of what was left of the brisket and chicken. If I knew they were running low on every meat, I would’ve left straight away. The food was also all unseasoned and lacking any flavor at all. I’ve never seen such sad looking Mac n cheese, I can make better Mac at home. I’m not sure if the cooks have ever tasted the food they make. To top it all off, the bbq sauces came in a dingy angry orchard six pack and were unlabeled (one looked like Italian dressing??) and were very watery. I can’t remember the last time I sent back food, but this was the time to do it. The server did not seem surprised when I asked for her to take the food away, and like this is a common experience.

Jack’s Roadside Barbecue is a must-visit spot! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was upbeat, welcoming, and full of great energy. Whether you’re coming for a casual dinner or looking to enjoy a fun night out, this place delivers.

Let’s talk about the food—the macaroni and cheese was absolutely out of this world. Creamy, cheesy, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with love. It was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The jerk chicken was another standout—tender, juicy, and packed with bold, authentic flavor. You can tell the team in the kitchen knows what they’re doing.

Their cocktail and drink selection is top-notch. There were creative, well-balanced options to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious. Whether you’re into craft cocktails or something more classic, there’s something for everyone.

And then there’s the vibe—laid-back but lively, with a great mix of people, good music, and a comfortable setting that makes you want to stay awhile. It felt like the perfect blend of local charm and quality service.

If you haven’t been to Jack’s yet, go! You won’t be disappointed. We’re already planning our next visit. A total 5-star experience from...
