Great jerk chicken and service. Sides are delious as well. Tuesday and Thursday a little busy because both are taco days. They run specials as well. read more

We ordered the Jack's Grand Slam. Menu says, "Our Ultimate Smokehouse Feast All six signature meats -- Brisket, Burnt Ends, Ribs, Pulled Pork, Jerk Chicken, Sausage Served with four sides and two cornbread. No substitutions." For our sides we ordered onion rings, sweet potato fries, pit beans, and macaroni and cheese as our sides. Appetizer - Chips and Queso tasted like nothing - bland. Meats - Brisket had good flavor, but dry. Instead of "fall off the bone" this rib meat was sealed to the bone. Dry. Chicken did not taste good. Pulled pork was decent - average. Sausage was flavorful. Burnt ends were delicious. Sides - Pit beans had good flavor - very sweet. Sweet potato fries were just sliced potato - no salt. Onion rings were solid but the onions were massive so they kinda just slid out of the batter. Macaroni and cheese was by far the biggest letdown. So bland. Cornbread was sweet but not overpowering. Total was $77 before tip and overall super disappointing. I hope to have good barbecue in Michigan one day, but today is not that day. We would not return. read more

This is the second time we've had a horrible experience. We came once during the holidays and had a very bad experience. We had spoken to a manager who explained it was a busy holiday week and apologizing and letting us know this never happens. I convinced my husband to give it another try today. Bad choice. We arrived before 6pm. They were already out of 2 basic BBQ items, we decided to stay anyway. Ordered drinks and then ordered 2 sandwiches. A brisket sandwich and a BLT. After 7pm, more than an hour later and after 4 tables around us ordered after us and had food (2 had gotten dessert too) I decided to go to the bar and talk to our server. I tried to get her attention and she looked right at me then turned and walked in the opposite direction when I waived and said excuse me. It was so obvious that the other patrons at the bar noticed and commented that she was avoiding me. I approached the other bartender to get my tab for drinks so we could go get dinner someplace else. She was kind an took care of me. While I was paying the tab our server approached my husband and the table and said "so you are leaving". Rude! Never again. I am all about second chances but in this case the 2nd chance was worse than the first bad experience. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food was great. Brisket was really tender and flavorful. The salad was great and fresh. The corn bread was delicious, sweet and cake like, very unique. However, the service and waitime was lacking. Our waitress was a bit unattenative. It took about 40 mins to get our food. Another table had to get up and flag their waitress down. Only looked like there was two waitresses working on a Friday night and they both seemed stressed. Also they did not have beans or pulled pork. Again, food was good but might need more staff. read more

We had reservations for mother's day, I have not ate at jack since it was just the food truck and always loved the food. But my boys knew how much I had been wanting ribs. We got seated placed our orders waited for about 40 mins for the waitress to come tell me they had no ribs .. i said oh man that's the reason I came today... so I ordered brisket in its place only to wait another for 40mins to get cold brisket that was nothing but fat.. then my son ended up with ribs on his plate he had gotten a platter. wouldn't you have given to ribs to the mother on mother's day... our waitress was not attentive, and the bartender was grumpy and mean ... just was not a great mother's day experience i regret not going up the road the the river rock... read more

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. read more

We ordered the brisket and it was about 50/50 meat and fat. Consequently I did not enjoy it. Hubby might be up to going back again and trying something else but not sure I am willing to try going there again. read more

Our food was amazing as well as our drinks. The service was great - we sat at the bar because there was a thirty min wait for table service. Our servers/bartenders Jennifer & another lady were amazing. It was loud but fun. Great vibes. We will return. read more

Second time we've been here on our way to Holly recreation area. Convenient and quick with large meals. (The better to not get hangry setting up your camp site.) Nachos were ok with sausage, cheese sauce a bit "strange" according to my companion. The spicy cheese curds are spicy, and tasty. Had the platter with jerked chicken. Seemed too much good for one person. It was all good and unable to finish it. Also had Mac and cheese with burnt ends and pulled pork. Again good and a lot of food. The Nashville hot chicken is not spicy, so if you like it that way, order it. Good service and nice staff. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more

The food is always solid, the staff is genuinely friendly. Could drink the house made bbq sauces. Jerk chicken 10/10. Sunday breakfast!! The chicken and waffles are amazing. They've done some recent cosmetic upgrades and the place has a great vibe! Clean, cozy, and welcoming. Consistently good food and good people. Can't recommend it enough read more

Great food, yet longest wait to get your food. I waited a couple months to try this place again because of the wait. Like 40 min average. So we tried breakfast there recently and I said to my wife, if they take long to bring our food out again I'll never come back. Won't be coming back, so maybe have a pre snack before the wait? Otherwise great food and atmosphere. Wish it worked out it was my fav and I lived around the corner. read more

The bbq is good but the real secret is the smash burger. Also I heard they have OG four seasons tacos IYKYK

Brisket platter was 10/10. Atmosphere and cleanliness 10/10. Service was 10/10. Our server Lisa was so polite and professional and even though it was busy she made sure our drinks were refilled. Definitely coming back! read more

Laid back and small town vibes, homey country feel inside. Had a grand margarita with a Grand Marnier floater, very good, excellent pulled pork and burnt ends, Mac n cheese warmed up better as leftovers the next day, very good. read more

This BBQ is the real deal. Service, great! Staff, friendly and attentive. Food, soooo good! The menu is very pleasing, I've had everything from salad, to chicken, ribs, brisket, cornbread, and yes, the Mac n cheese is so creamy, and I can't get enough of the burnt ends! Good thing I can order by the pound. The decor is very well done, it's a real diamond in the rough. They started in a food truck, and had lines for lunch every day, they graduated to a brick and mortar, and it's even better! Their catering is amazing, their setup is great, they make it so easy! Trevor and Jeff are wonderful to work with, and if you ever have last minute needs, they can work with you and they will do the best they can to make your day, your meal, the best. Can't say enough great things. Love it! Jenny. read more

If you want some delicious BBQ this is the place to go. Variety of items to choose from. Jerky chicken is one of the many favorites. I always get the brisket with French fries with cheese sauce. It's my favorite. Can't go wrong with the baked beans . We even loved the cornbread. Do you self a favor and give it a try! Can't go wrong with a homemade dessert to take home. read more

We are return customers, at risk of becoming "regulars"...on our second visit, which was several weeks after our first, we were stunned that our server, Miranda, greeted us with a big smile AND remembered our drink preferences! Very impressive! As avid carnivores, Jack's does not disappoint! The brisket is amazing...but the Jerk Chicken has become our favorite go-to, whether we order it on platter, on a salad, or with the dirty rice plate. Our son LOVES the loaded mac and cheese. Jack's vibe is more than comfortable, with low volume sports TVs through out. There is friendly chatter from the patrons around the bar, and I have enjoyed the 'tenders spirit offerings. Menu prices are in the game, and Happy Hour food/drink menu serves us well. Great. Now I'm craving Jerk Chicken. read more

I first tried them long ago when they first opened wasn't very good fast forward to now. Still a disappointment! The salad we ordered with no onions it came with onions we couldn't even tell the waitress as she basically set the food down and ran off to talk to someone for 10 min before seeing the plate full set to the side of the table. The fry's were so over cooked I knew as soon as they set the plate down they were so unbelievably hard It was crazy! The brisket my wife and I were served was dry and ice cold. I'm honestly not sure how it has good reviews ? Maybe I just have bad luck 70$ wasted! THEY NOW BLOCKED ME ON FACEBOOK FOR SAYING I WISH IVE HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE read more

Tried this place when it opened and the service was horrible, waited till now and nothing changed. food is ok sausage is flavorless, brisket was not dry but not juicy, nothing was outstanding about a hour and 15 minutes wait for carry out never checked on us never offered a drink as I sat there ... just disappointed, again ...... place has potential if they find it read more

The food here is incredible. The jerk chicken Mac and cheese is to die for. Lisa is the best server! She's so on top of everything and does it with a great personality. The vibe in the restaurant is so welcoming too! Definitely recommend! read more

EXCELLENT Brisket and service! We were the last to get lucky enough to try the Brisket. (They sold out just after our order) The sauces are super tasty too!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Friends! Have I found the honey hole!! Listen their menu has platters with 1,2 and 3 meat options labeled 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base! Well I sampled all the meats it's not on the menu but I call it the home run!! Ask for it, it's worth whatever the cost easily $100 or more. Their mustard sauce is award winning. I'm a blues musician and I've had all of what Tennessee, Kansas City, Texas, The Carolinas have to offer in world leading BBQ and their sauce and meats are on par and better than most I've had easily!! 10/10 for taste, quality, sides the slaw is fresh not to wet but just right, corn bread moist! Can't say enough!! Great music!! read more

I got the ribs, jerk chicken and the Mac and cheese which was very good. However my father in law got the wings which were hard for him to bite into and wasn't pleased with them or the coleslaw. My side salad had a lot of wilted pieces in it. Their margaritas are really good, but would not recommend the bloody Mary's as they are to sweet for my liking. Our waitress was very nice and courteous as she listened to our concerns and tried to make it right. The ambience was also okay. read more

Came back here for the 2nd time- a little bit of a different experience than the first. Long wait for food- going on 30 minutes. Server never once came to say thanks for your patience, we're backed up, etc. Also, The water is awful- you can tell it's well it has a metal taste. Not good! read more

Bbq was awesome and large portions. Service was quick and friendly. Cute road house vibe. Decently priced. Will for sure be coming back!

Had their brisket very yummy would recommend it went with family very nice restaurant I enjoyed it the cocktails are great too.

This was our first visit today. A nice restaurant with a great choice of BBQ food. I tried that Carolina (pulled pork, topped with coleslaw.) The pulled pork was very juicy and had a great taste. The coleslaw was mild and not overpowering which made a nice sandwich. The French fries are great! I am very picky about fries and those were the best I had in a long time. My wife had tacos (they have Taco-Thursdays). She loved them. The service was very good. Everybody who works there is very friendly and nice. We will certainly be back soon and explore more. read more

I had lunch here today and the food and service was great! Our waitress was so attentive and helpful. My friend and I both ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw and tater tots. The brisket was so juicy and so fresh and the grilled buttered bun that it was on was also amazing! I definitely will go back as there because there are so many other items I want to try like the Chicken Jacko which is like a Hani. Do yourself a favor and get over to this restaurant asap! Oh and the tater tots were delicious and crispy. read more

The food is OK. The experience is decent. The service is super slow overpriced. I haven't been back in 12 months. The last month was there. I won $10 in keno and when I try to charge my ticket in the waitress that I won zero total bullshit. read more
