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 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

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

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

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

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 also liked the veggies being BBQ'd and not steamed. My husband and I enjoyed an amazing date night. We split this sampler platter where you have all the meats and pick your sides. 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

If you're looking for BBQ that's deeply savory, smoky, and tender (but not mushy), unfortunately you won't find it here. The ribs were tough and didn't seem seasoned through, each bite was difficult to chew. The rib tips were also dry and tough; I honestly couldn't get a fork through them. The meat relied heavily on sauce for flavor and lacked that marinated, well-seasoned taste you expect from good BBQ. That said, the sides were a pleasant surprise. The mac and cheese was creamy with a nice smoky flavor, and the potato salad was good too. I ended up ordering the bacon cheeseburger after the ribs, and it was actually really good. read more

I am apologizing ahead of time - I didn't take any pictures because the food looked so good, we could barely wait to dig in! Jack's is amazing. From the service, to the ambiance, to the food.

The food was fresh, tasty and literally amazing. The view - beautiful! Super cute spot on Lake Elsinore. We will recommend this spot to everyone. We will definitely be back. Go. Here. Now. read more

Staff is super friendly and service is quick. We got both the pork and beef ribs. Personally I liked the pork ribs better as it fell off the bone. Beef ribs were okay. Very chewy, tough and hard to come off bone. Corn Bread: Flavorful but texture is off. I wish it would stick together more than just break apart so easily. Sides: highly recommend the baked beans, Mac n cheese and the corn especially! They were so good. Price was very fair and overall a great place to bring a large group. read more

I heard about Jacks BBQ on Lake Elsinore so tried it with some family members. It's right on the lake with large windows so a good view at any table. It's rustic and casual. We had lunch around 1:30 so was able to get a table by the window. I ordered the French Dip with Au Jus. I had a choice of Tri tip or brisket, I got the Tri tip, sides are extra. I wish the Au Jus had more flavor but was still good and filling. The other dishes that was ordered was fish and chips and the Monster Burger. The people liked their meal. They have a large beach area with picnic tables which be great in warm weather. read more
