Excellent service and truly superb BBQ! Try the peach cobbler for sure! You will not be disappointed! Love local small businesses like this, and they deserve support! read more

the food is good ! like really good but the service was very slow and waitress not very welcoming or efficient.

First time eating here, we ordered to go and take home! The girl on the phone was very nice and polite. When we picked up our order a nice man wanted us to check it take a look and make sure all was good and everything was just fine! We ordered the whole rack of baby back ribs; these ribs were very meaty great seasoning on them and very tasty. Our sides were Mac N cheese and coleslaw again very good like home cooking. Also came with a small cornbread which was very good also. The atmosphere is nice and cozy with blues music playing like a nostalgic place. Highly recommend this place for your smoked BBQ actually glad we found them we no longer have to drive down below for some tasty BBQ. Try it you will love if you love BBQ read more

My husband and I stopped last week for dinner. We ordered the Garlic Buffalo Wings for an appetizer which came with potato wedges. The wings were good and you could really taste the garlic. The wedges were AMAZING. He ordered the brisket dinner with beans and potato salad and I ordered the baby back ribs with coleslaw with Mac n Cheese. The brisket was cooked perfectly with the smoke ring visible and tender. The potato salad was good, but the beans tasted heavily of cumin. The baby back ribs were good and the meat came right off the bone. The coleslaw was a perfect complement to the ribs and Mac n cheese tasted like grandma used to make. We had the Blackberry Cobbler for dessert. It was served piping hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The crust was flaky and the blackberries delicious. More than enough for 2 to share. Sorry I forgot to take pictures. I highly recommend Cracker Jacks BBQ. read more

Got some food to go, and most of it was disappointing. The meat on the brisket sandwich was tough and tasted old. The pork sandwich was not hot and the bread was soggy with too much sauce. The peach cobbler looked like someone had scraped the bottom of a pie dish. It was a little bit of undercooked dough and a couple of small pieces of peach. We threw it away. We really want to support local-owned businesses, but at your price point, you need to do better. read more

Service was good , waited about 15 min to go , but this was not worth the price or the wait ! Sorry heard great reviews about this place but I have to give it a thumbs down !!! read more

As bbq competitors, we rarely find places we enjoy but the food was pretty good here. Loved that they had actual sweet tea, too. We will be back. read more

Absolutely amazing. Best bbq in town. If you you haven't been? What are you doing with your taste buds?

Absolutely fabulous pulled pork sandwich and the potato wedges are outrageously delicious. Hubby had the brisket sandwich with green and wedges also. He loved the greens and said the brisket sandwich waa bomb. We will definitely be back. Shout out to the gentleman who I believe was the owner for checking on each table. He was super friendly and welcoming. Next time we have to try the peach cobbler but we were way to stuffed to even try today. read more

Cracker Jacks Barbecue - First time here. Looks very clean and lots of people eating up so fingers crossed its delish. - Barbeque Near Me - Lancaster, California

We came here with a large group, and the service was very good. we got the family platter and some additional orders. The brisket, ribs, corn bread, house lemonade, wedge fries, we're all very good. There's not a lot of good BBQ in AV, so we'll definitely be back. Also, peach cobbler was a nice treat. read more

I was in town for work and am so glad that I got the chance to try this place. My mom and I shared a full baby back rib dinner ($35.99) with a side of Mac n cheese and collard greens. I loved all their varieties of homemade bbq sauces to go with the ribs! The sides were also EXCELLENT; I'm a sucker for some good pot liquor! They also included a cornbread muffin, and it was so good that it had me wondering if that's how cornbread is supposed to taste (now I know what I've been missing out on all my life). The portion was huge, too; we ended up having to take half the ribs to-go. The service was some of the best I have ever had. The workers were so kind, and our waitress went out of her way to find some lemon for my mom's hot water. She even offered a teabag on the house. I would love to come back and bring my husband one day! Highly recommend if you are in the Lancaster area! I wish we had one of these in OC!! read more

Cracker Jacks Barbecue - Full baby back rib dinner with mac n cheese and greens ($35.99) - Barbeque Near Me - Lancaster, California

This place feels like a BBQ diner from the South. Blues music playing, very friendly staff. Homemade lemonade and sweet tea. The food is really good. I liked the beans, and I don't usually like beans. Good portions, we had to get a take home box because we couldn't finish everything. Taking peach cobbler home for dessert too. Once they get their beer license it will just be that much better! We will definitely keep coming back! read more

Cute atmosphere. Great friendly staff. Food was so good. Home cooked taste. Plenty of parking.

Saw this new place on social media and decided to give it a try. The customer service was amazing, the people are very friendly and attentive. One of the owners came and introduced themselves and made sure everything was ok. We got two of the meat plates with different meats and 6 different sides. Everything was so good, the meat didn't even need sauce and was nice and tender. The wedges, mac and collard greens were my favorite sides. The coleslaw and potato salad were really good too. We ended our night with a warm peach cobbler and I would order again, and again. read more

Passing thru and craving bbq. Cracker jacks hit the spot! Food was delicious and the service was excellent!

I went to go eat for lunch at a place but unfortunately they had an emergency closed up so I searched on Yelp for local barbecue. Cracker Jack's barbecue showed up. I wasn't even aware that it was in my neighborhood. What a wonderful happenstance because the BBQ was fantastic. I have to admit their potato salad is just like my mamas. I had mac & cheese very well seasoned and brisket of beef on some white bread that just sucked up all the juices along with some cornbread and I had the regular house barbecue sauce and hellfire. They were both amazing and finger looking good. I will definitely be back next time i'm craving some BBQ!!! I'll take the time to eat there because the decor was on spot with some good tunes. I'm so glad you're in the neighborhood Cracker Jacks Barbecue I will be back. read more

10/10 BBQ spot. We ordered the full rack of baby back ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and wedge fries and everything was on point. The ribs were tender and packed with flavor on their own, but the three house sauces really took it to another level. The Tangy Gold, Hell Fire Hot BBQ, and Cracker Jacks BBQ all had their own distinct flavor and made it fun to switch it up with each bite. The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, and the wedge fries were perfectly crispy and somehow stayed hot the entire meal (which never happens). The restaurant has a cool, classic BBQ vibe inside -- clean, welcoming, and comfortable. The owner/chef even came out to greet us and check on everything, which says a lot about how much they care. Our server was great and checked on us consistently without being overbearing. Easy 10/10. Definitely coming back. read more

This place is amazing. The service was fantastic, The food was delicious and the owner Raymond is very friendly. I had the baby back ribs, collard greens, baked beans and potatoes wedges. The potato wedges were for an appetizer and were delicious with a salty & sweet taste. The ribs were done to perfection in and were very meaty. The collard greens had a lot of flavor. I highly recommend this place. Coveralls they sometimes run out of the ribs. We were there at 5PM and got the last full rack. read more

Our first visit was great ! Babybacks fall off the bone , cole slaw and mac and cheese yummy ! The nicest people! Will be back !

First apologies for no pictures. This food was so good I completely forgot to take pictures. Let me start off by saying the customer service the day i visited was excellent. The young lady who helped me was helpful, very sweet and polite. I ordered Brisket dinner with greens and bake beans. The amount of food given was appreciated. The brisket needed seasoning however when paired with the bbq sauce it became a smash. The greens were absolutely delicious and the bake beans had a lil twist on them that I loved. Definitely will be back to try the wings and a few other sides. read more

Hands down the best BBQ joint in the AV. Had the baby backs with baked beans, cold slaw and cornbread. Meat was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Sauce wasn't as hot as I thought it would be with the name, "Hellfire." However, it was delicious and had an after-burn effect. Portion sizes were just right and prices were very reasonable. The co-owner, Marshall came over and greeted my wife and I and made us feel welcome. We were on date night, but we will be bringing the whole fam back to experience this incredible food. read more

Best BBQ I have had since I left Texas. Side dishes are vary flavorful. BBQ meat is tender not dry and smoked perfectly.

It's 5pm February 7, and it's my 1 time eating here. I ordered the full rack baby back ribs, and macaroni cheese and hush puppies and collard greens. All and all the food we ate was just mediocre. The place was good our server was nice, she was doing most of the work. But there is this young black girl who is 1 of the owners daughter, she is so freaking lazy. She acts like a diva, not helping the staff. I suggest the owners she fire her asap. Just because of the owner's daughter who works there, I will not be coming back. So if you go there be prepared to wait a long time for them to take your order. The pork ribs was not fall of the bones. Lots of luck to the new ones of the place. Chow. read more

We tried this place today. The owners were phenomenal. They greeted us at our table. Answered all of our questions. They even asked us what types of appetizers we would be interested in seeing on the menu. When we said hush puppies and fried green tomatoes, they worked their magic and produced them. The hush puppies were so good. Reminded me of dining in South Carolina. Fried green tomatoes were also very tasty. I got the brisket with Mac n cheese and potato salad. Very flavorful. We will be returning. read more

We went for lunch to check out this new BBQ restaurant, to our pleasant surprise we found a new BBQ place for lunch and dinner , which is hard to find in Lancaster.. The food was Amazing. The pull pork sandwiches were delicious and so were the potato wedges and the greens and Mac & Cheese.. We are definitely going back to try the ribs.. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The management actually came out and talk to us to see if we were happy with our order and the service, which you don't see that anymore. Thank you for making us feel at home :). read more

Super friendly reception! We went in on a Yelp search. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!! We got the brisket dinner and the meat was fantastic! Did Mac & cheese and baked beans as sides. They'd been super busy on this Friday evening and were out of a number of items. We look forward to returning to try some of their other items! read more

Great food, decor and service. Don't know if they have their liquor license yet......

Lancaster has something new, and it's special! Heard about this place through a Facebook post, so we decided to stop by and we were absolutely blown away! The food was incredible, and the service was just as great. Jasmine took great care of us, and one of the owners (shout out to Chi-Town) came around to every table to check in. Super friendly and welcoming vibe all around. I ordered the two-meat combo with baby back ribs and short ribs, plus collard greens and garlic mashed potatoes -- it also came with cornbread. My wife went with the St. Louis ribs and brisket with mac & cheese and coleslaw. She went all out and added fries and potato salad, so we pretty much tried the whole menu . Everything was perfectly seasoned, the meat was tender, and every bite was delicious. Just when we thought we couldn't eat any more, they brought out the peach cobbler with ice cream, definitely a must-try! Great food, great people, and great vibes. Lancaster really needed a spot like this! read more
