    BBQ Nachos (Chicken)
    John S.

    I ordered the BBQ nachos with smoked chicken and a side of macaroni and cheese. The nachos were tasty as a whole. I opted for the "medium heat" BBQ sauce, which is said to be the restaurant's most popular (there were several others to choose from). The sauce was good, but I'd classify it as mild and sweeter than expected. The smoked chicken was very inconsistent in form. Half of it was halfway shredded and the other half was comprised of big, chopped chunks. It would have been nearly impossible to eat with the plastic fork that was tucked in the bag. But thankfully it broke apart fairly well with some sturdy silverware. The chips were okay -- the basic white corn variety. The toppings were fairly standard for nachos: cheese sauce, shredded cheese, sour cream (which was nearly lost in the shuffle) and jalapeños. For some reason, our two orders of nachos came with two large sides of nacho cheese. I'm not sure if that is standard or if we got them by mistake -- it was way too much, even if used as a dip. The macaroni and cheese was on the drier side with a stiff layer of melted cheese on the top. Overall, it was rather bland and would have benefited greatly from a bit of creaminess. The drive-thru was very convenient and our food was ready to go as soon as we pulled up. While I was certainly satisfied by my meal at Baby Jack's, I probably won't rush back soon. There are simply too many other BBQ joints that I'd rather order from.

    Supposed to be a BBQ sandwich

    We never tried Jack's before, so we gave them a chance. We ordered takeout and were a bit underwhelmed. We ordered a BBQ sandwich with 2 sides, a full slab of ribs, banana bread pudding, baked beans, and vinegar slaw as our sides. The BBQ sandwich was actually one dinner roll, and the meat wrapped in foil. Now, I understand the differences between takeout and in-house serving, but I expected at least a sandwich bun. Would I have gotten a dinner roll had I asked for the same thing in the restaurant? The flavor of the meal was very good, ribs were well cooked, and the sides, although smaller portions than what I expected, were also tasty. All in all, I think I'm going to have to do another trip, the next time in house to compare. As always, I give everyone a second chance.

    I saw the Baby Jacks Bbq sign from the left side of the road. I decided to pullover and place an order to go. I checked in on yelp then I placed the order at the drive thru. I ordered 2 smoked chicken sandwiches. One smoked chicken sandwich no slaw for my hubby. I also ordered two sides. I selected fries and fried okra for my sides and a sweet tea. When I pulled up to the window to pay I was informed that the bbq sauce would come on the side instead of on the sandwiches. I then showed my yelp check in freebie -homemade banana pudding. After the check in was approved I received my order and the complimentary homemade banana pudding. Everything was good! My hubby enjoyed his meal. I do plan on returning for other delicious items on their menu.

    My mother lives in the nursing home less than 5 minutes from the restaurant. Today lunch was picked by my sister for mom and a friend. Ordered two pulled pork plates and drinks. The meat appeared old and dry. The beans were cold. The rolls and slaw were ok. Total meal was bad. Not worth anywhere near the $28 it cost.

    A few years ago, I worked with a young lady (Michelle Dorris) who said she was ADDICTED to Baby Jacks BBQ. Actually, "THE" Girlfriend and I are not big on BBQ and we usually don't dine at BBQ restaurants unless we have friends visiting from out-of-town. Today, I had to exchange some Comcast equipment and needed to grab a quick lunch. Leaving Comcast, Baby Jacks was right there and I decided to give them a try. As I pulled into the driveway I recalled that this location used to be a Starbucks. Inside, I found the store to be clean, warm, and the staff was SUPER Friendly. While trying to order I admitted it was my first visit and they VERY Patiently explained the menu and sauce options. Selected the Big Pulled-Pork Plate, it comes with two sides, a dinner roll, and nice size drink (refillable). WOW... The food was GREAT, their Cajun BBQ Sauce had a TERRIFIC Balance of Heat & Sweet, and their dinner rolls are definitely the first-cousin (once removed) of a Butter Roll :)) For $10, including tax, I was so STUFFED that I had to pass on dinner four hours later. Confirmation... Baby Jacks is ADDICTIVE!!!

    I had some food catered from here for my Christmas party and everything was excellent from the customer service, to the food and set up. Baby Jacks gave me everything I needed to compete my party! Our food even came with set ups and warmers. I am so happy I decided to use them! The bbq was amazing too! Everyone enjoyed the ribs, pulled pork, cole slaw, potato salad (loaded everyone's favorite), and macaroni and cheese. Also, everyone's order came with a roll and they provided different flavor bbq sauces. Pricing was very reasonable. I could not believe how much food I had received for the price! I will definitely be using them again! Thank you!!

Taste: I heard her mention the name "Chris" when some customers excitedly ask about the name of the cook. Well! Chris deserved the recognition especially that day because everything was so good. Often times, Memphis BBQ spots have similar models but not this one. It has a pleasantly unique taste. Also, I found out that they make their own bbq sauces in house. My family tried the BBQ Spaghetti, brisket, beans, & corn nuggets. They were all on point! Cost: 9/10 Typical for a BBQ spot Ambience: 10/10 The atmosphere made you feel like family. They were having a car show outside when I visited. That was an added bonus for my experience. We will definitely visit Ty's again and We will make sure to tip Chris for making our bellies smile!

Not a fancy restaurant by any means but the food is solid! The tenders are hand breaded and soooo good! Always fresh and by far the best tenders I have ever eaten. The fries are just so so. If they would step up their fry game and offer hand cut fries, they would have lines of people out the door! Good food, service, and price point!

I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.

They both seemed sincerely apologetic and eager to make the situation right for me. In all of their help, neither asked me to remove or change anything about my review. This says to me they truly care about the customer experience. They displayed the type of concern I had hoped for in the beginning. Mistakes happen, so I'm absolutely open to giving this restaurant another chance. The quick resolution did not go unnoticed. Thanks so much ! I purchased a feast for work on December 23, 2025, which was advertised to feed 8-10 people. I picked up the order around 4:30 p.m. Since I work nights, we didn't open the bags until later. Once everything was laid out, I realized a double order of pulled pork was missing. I called the restaurant at 9:48 p.m. to report the issue. After explaining the situation, the associate who answered placed me on hold, which was concerning since the restaurant closed at 10 p.m. When she returned, I had to explain the issue again before being transferred to a manager. The manager, whose name I unfortunately don't recall, was very kind and attentive. He acknowledged the mistake immediately and stated that he would issue a refund for the missing items. He also collected my personal information and said he would be sending a gift card for the inconvenience. To date, I have received neither the refund nor the gift card, and I haven't received any follow-up from the restaurant. While the food itself was pretty good, the lack of follow-through in customer service makes me hesitant to patronize this business again. For future reference: under-promise and over-deliver.
