    Fall off the bone ribs... delicious! And you have to try the pit beans. Wide selection of draft beers. Fast service. Ambiance is casual with

    This is the second time I've been to Jack's and the jerk chicken never disappoints. Inside you find a nice small town vibe bar and grill serving BBQ. The staff were friendly and kind and made sure we were happy with everything. The only thing I'd recommend is adding a sauce to the jerk chicken wrap. The chicken is tender and juicy build it would be out of this park with a nice sauce that paired well with it.

    Stopped in with friends for a quick dinner. We found service to be a little slow at each stage of the order, but they had awesome live entertainment that we enjoyed while we waited. I had the platter with pulled pork, chicken and burnt ends. I enjoyed them all along with the select bbq sauces at the table. Overall we had a good experience.

    We often eat at Jacks for dinner which is always amazing. We decided to try their breakfast. You get huge portions and the food was delicious!

    A small, friendly bbq restaurant that has some great meats. Pulled pork and the jerk chicken are so good I would recommend getting the platter to fully enjoy it. The loaded Mac and loaded fries are very rich but have good flavor and made good leftovers. Have always had fast and friendly service and there's live entertainment to enjoy.

    Ribs and Mac and cheese

    Not only does this place have amazing BBQ they also have the BEST club sandwich I've ever had. They get busy and sell out, when they didn't have what I wanted the server suggested the club sandwich. I was hesitant at first as I had my heart set on brisket but let me tell you I was NOT disappointed with the House Club. My friend got the ribs and Mac and cheese which were also delicious!! Our server was always smiling and super friendly.

    We stopped for lunch on a Saturday. We ordered the two meats meal, opting for the Ribs and Burnt Ends. The Burnt Ends were a bit dry and on the tougher side. They were good, but I wouldn't come back for them. The ribs were the star. I liked the original recipe "house" BBQ sauce. The sides were good. They tasted the way you would think. The corn bread was more "cakey" than I prefer. Michigan beer selection on tap. Comfortable dining room with an assortment of tables and booths. There is bar area off to one side. The service was friendly and very good.

    This place is 10 times better than any near by bbq place in Clarkston. Food portions are amazing. Pulled pork is my favorite. Nice bar and draft beer selection. Group of 6 and everyone was very pleased. Service was great, waiter even listened to my kid talk about a rubix cube for 5 minutes when he had a break.

    Lounge area at Jack's Roadside BBQ

    This place just keeps getting better. The BBQ is exactly what you want it to be - smoky, flavorful, and clearly made with care - but what really stood out on my last visit was the updated bar, and lounge area. The refresh gives the restaurant a warmer, more modern feel while still keeping that classic BBQ joint vibe. It's cleaner, more inviting, and a really comfortable spot to sit and enjoy a meal. Between the delicious food, friendly service, and the great new atmosphere, this is hands down one of my go-to BBQ spots. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't been in recently!

    We stumbled across Public House on our way home from a weekend road trip…read more They graciously welcomed us on a busy Saturday morning and were able to accommodate our impromptu visit with a short 10minute wait. The space is adorable and welcoming and the staff were just as welcoming and helpful to us, as first-timers. Public House has an extensive vegan menu that they are pretty proud of. We however opted for the regular Pastrami Hash and Chicken & Waffles. Both were delightful from taste to texture! The chicken was fried and seasoned to perfection. The fresh veggies and amazing mornay sauce made the pastrami dish my personal favorite. We look forward to trying them intentionally very soon!

    Public House was the only restaurant in the area that you could really count on for a regular tasty…read morevegan brunch. In fact, several of my friends traveled to the area specifically to visit Public House. Sadly, the menu has changed and there are no only three items on the menu for Vegans. The items are the Strawberry Shortcake,which was a prior favorite, but has been reduced in its appeal by the omission of the vegan cream that topped it off and the other items are a Burrito Bowl, which is available anywhere you go through the addition and deduction of conventional food items, and the Chik n waffle. This reduced menu of three items compared to the 24 + conventional items on the menu is extremely disappointing. Service wise the greeting at the front door was very slow when there was only one other patron in front of us. It literally took 10 minutes to be greeted and the restaurant was not full compared to its previous more appealing times for Vegans where you really did have to wait. The staff was over all very friendly and accommodating. You couldn't ask for a nice group of people. And the diversity of the team is amazing....it is noticed and valued! The strawberry shortcake without the whip cream is good but the vegan whipped cream makes a difference and was notably missing. The Bloody Mary was pretty good. Overall...it's a ok place for Vegans but no longer a great place us.

    How the mighty have fallen. What a shame. I can no longer say Red Coat has one of the best burgers…read morein the area. I can't even say they have a good burger. Wow. Ordered takeout for dinner. Waited a few minutes, but was ready around the time I requested. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger (with Piedmontese beef) and had fries and onion rings. I'll start with the good. The fries were very good. Crispy and salted, they definitely hit the spot. The onion rings were the best I've had. Hearty batter with a perfect crunch. Absolutely delightful and I could have eaten a million of them. Onto the burger. First of all, there was no bacon. If you're charging over $3 for bacon, gotta make sure it makes it on the burger. I also ordered the bun toasted; it was not. Good start. The patty had zero flavor. No seasoning could be detected. The only redeeming part was the burnt onion which I added. They really were burnt but had nice flavor. I'd give the burger a D rating. For $25, it really was a giant disappointment and eff you. Can't say I'm wanting to return. Such a shame. What used to be one of my favorites is now a lowlight. 2 stars because of the sides.

    First time at the Redcoat and I'm already planning my return. I loved EVERYTHING about this place…read morefrom the food to the atmosphere to our amazing server to the outside facade. Before I get to the food, I want to say THANK YOU to our lovely server who welcomed us warmly, made sure we always had what we needed, took our photo, and got our orders right. Now the food...let's start with a shout-out to the kitchen who perfectly executed the widely varied burger topping and temperature combinations for six people. My meal...magically battered onion rings and mushrooms followed by one of the finest burgers I've ever swallowed. 8 oz of flavorful medium rare juicy bliss on a fantastic bun topped with lettuce tomato pickle and cole slaw joy. Truly heaven and I remembered to eat it slowly. Thank you Redcoat for transporting me back to a simpler time when everyone agreed.
