Me and my family always enjoy going out and eating at beautiful places and Jack's barbecue is one of those places. Located In Lake Elsinore, California and comes with a beautiful view, yummy food and bomb drinks! One of our favorite is the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. The hubby likes his coleslaw on the side tho and we always order one with french fries and the one with onion rings. Unfortunately there is a four dollar up charge for the onion rings though. The drinks are amazing. The bartender really knows how to create awesome drinks. With those drinks and the amazing view & their wonderful staff too and all of that yummy food too! you just can't go wrong. If you are looking for some really good barbecue with a great view and great drinks too, then give Jack's barbecue in Lake Elsinore a try. You never know. You just might like it just as much as we do. We will definitely be back for more. read more

Jack's BBQ is hands down one of the best places to eat in Lake Elsinore! Not only is the food incredible, but the lake views are absolutely amazing and make for the perfect dining atmosphere. Everything we ordered was delicious. The Watermelonrita was refreshing and packed with flavor, definitely a must-try! For dessert, we had the peach crumble, and it was absolutely incredible; warm, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. I ordered the Fried Mac N Cheese Wagyu Burger, and wow... it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. The wagyu beef was juicy and flavorful, and the fried mac and cheese took it over the top. Their original BBQ sauce is also so good and paired perfectly with everything we ate. Amazing food, great drinks, beautiful lake views, and excellent service (Thank you Brittany!). We can't wait to come back! read more

This is a go to bbq place in the area. If you want it quiet go when they first open. We usually go in the evening when there is live music. It's fun but hard to hold a conversation. This time we went in for a girt card but once we smelt the smoke on the bbq we had to stay for lunch it was about 10:00 am. The servers are always great. It feels like they have worked there always and they like what they do. They have a large bar and a view of Lake Elsinore. Which the view at 10 am was pretty great. My favorite sandwich is pulled pork and last time the hubby tried the cuban, which he said what one of his favorites now. Also they have 3 bbq sauces to choose from. I usually do go for the sweet but their sweet bbq is #1 with me while hubby uses the other two. read more

Separate from any other aspect of service or food or ambiance. The parking lot opens up to a lower deck dining area that I mistakenly thought was an ordering area with a gorgeous view of the lake. I went and sat in this area. After a short conversation A very kind man called the restaurant asking about accommodating me and was told that I would still need to walk up to the restaurant. I have very bad diabetic neuropathy and lately I've experienced a lot of pain because of it. That's not the restaurant's fault or responsibility but under the circumstances it would have been nice to have them come out to me. This is not an unreasonable expectation. It would have been a delightful bonus for them to accommodate my severe neuropathy. I'll review the upstairs experience in a few days. Update 5/24/26 1113 am. The food is phenomenal. Really shows the love put into the recipe and the length of smoking. It was constantly busy and I was seated by the waitress station hub. I saw my waitress maybe twice. My feedback. More proactive services for handicapped folks like myself. The view of the lake and the atmosphere are breathtaking. Fun. I was a bit withdrawn so I can understand to an extent not seeing my waitress much. I shouldn't have to be so intentional to get her to engage. read more

I was craving BBQ, and this place did not disappoint! Located right on the lake, it offers beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. Parking is conveniently located to the left, and we were lucky enough to be seated by the window with a stunning lakeside view. The menu has so many tempting options that it took us quite a while to decide. I ended up ordering the burnt ends with the sweet sauce and a side of mac & cheese. My husband ordered the pulled chicken breakfast with over-easy eggs, hash browns, and toast, plus a side of waffles. The burnt ends were incredible--moist, crispy, savory, and practically melted in my mouth. The mac & cheese was equally impressive. They use a special cheese sauce, and whatever their secret is, it works! My husband's pulled chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The waffles were perfectly prepared and served with fresh raspberries and blackberries. A special shoutout to our server, Kelly, who was friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our visit. She recommended the burnt ends, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The prices are very reasonable for both the quality and portion sizes. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back to try more items from the menu. read more

I visited Jacks Bar-B-Q today. The food was delicious. I had a side of mac and cheese, with the tri-tip Philly cheese sandwich. My blood Mary was on point. I sipped it all the way to the bottom. The best part was the customer service. Michelle made my 1st time experience enjoyable, she recommended the Cuban I now regret not trying it even though the tri-tip was delicious. I guess that just means I have to come back for more. read more

I was in the area and wanted to try something new. Went to Yelp and landed on Jack's BBQ. We were seated immediately and our waitress offered suggestions. We had a nice view of the water. We started with the cheesy Italian bread and added marinara sauce for $2, it was good, but I wouldn't get it again as it did fill me up. We got the 5 meat platter, (didn't add ribs) with fries and baked beans. I liked the pulled pork and tri-tip the best. My husband liked the chicken and tri-tip. I like sweeter beans, so I prob would try something else as a side, but they were not bad, just not my taste. We got a side of ranch for the fries and the ranch was yummy, had some dill in it, I think. This place was good and the prices are fair. The service was friendly and the view was nice. Will be back if in the area. read more

Honestly I don't understand the high ratings here. The ratings lured me in. Location and view of the lake is nice, but for foodies it's all about the food and here it's a fail. Ribs are not smoked to where there's any smoke flavor and the beef is bland. Fries are bland. For the money I thought I would get some tasty food, I was wrong. , Their wagyu burger tasted nothing of the sort. It was overcooked and if it was Akaushi wagyu, all the fat and moisture was driven out leaveing it tasting flat. read more

Loved the food. Did a takeout order and everything was fresh. Loved the vibe. They even gave extra sauce.

Michelle was amazing! She made the BEST smoky mezcal margarita....seriously one of the best I've had. She was so friendly, sweet, attentive, and incredibly proactive. She even noticed what we were watching and offered to change the channel on the bar TV if we wanted to watch something different. It's those little things that make such a difference. Fantastic service, great personality, and an amazing bartender. We'll definitely be back to see Michelle! read more

We had such a wonderful experience at Jacks BBQ! The food was absolutely delicious, the beautiful view of the lake made the atmosphere even better, and the service was amazing. What really stood out to us, though, was Mia, one of the employees. She went above and beyond to help us find a T-shirt for my son. Even though she was already off the clock, she still took the time to help a customer in need. That kind of kindness and dedication is truly special and made our visit even more memorable. Thank you, Mia, for going the extra mile! Jacks BBQ is lucky to have someone like you on their team. We will definitely be back! read more

The Bar-B-Que at Jack's BBQ was deliciously tender and tasty. We ordered the 5 meat platter and although it came with 2 sides.. we ordered 2 additional sides. We weren't disappointed. The service provided by Rachael was outstanding. She was professional, very attentive, and friendly. She took care of our every needs. The restaurant was clean and the people dining were nice and it sits right in front of Lake Elsinore and although we didn't get a window table we were still able to enjoy the view. Maybe we can get a window table with the view next time we visit. We went at a perfect time because it does get full. No reservations were necessary for us. Even better...my wife and I were able to walk down to the shore of the lake and share a few special moments together. We're making sure to put it on our list for dining for the next time that we stay at Lake Elsinore. read more

This was our family's third visit this evening. The service & food are consistently excellent. We're new to the area & Jack's Bar-B-Q has become our favorite restaurant. I recommend the meat platter with the added rack of ribs for two to share. You won't be disappointed. Jack's is for everyone! With several tv's throughout to enjoy sports, a full friendly bar, & plenty of tables for the entire family with spectacular views of the lake. The staff are great & make you feel at home.

Lastly, as a Marine Corps veteran myself, I certainly appreciate that Jack's is veteran owned & operated. read more

It's been a couple of years since we've eaten here and we were so impressed by the coconut shrimp we enjoyed the brisket stew and all of the meats. I really liked the tri tips peppery-burnt bark!

I was also impressed with the red Cadillac, a spin of my usual drink Everything was great the service, food, and of course the views thanks Jack's BBQ for bringing good BBQ to my little ole' hometown read more
