I am not a barbecue fan but this is the place to go while in Nashville. We were even lucky to see some band members from the concert at the Ryman while we were eating. The first time we ate there I had the smoked turkey and I would not get it. The apples were good and I liked the... more

The best thing about this place is the sign outfront. It makes a great photograph. Other than that... The food is overpriced. We paid $2 for side dishes. I got 1 ice cream scoop of nasty mac and cheese. My husband got 1 ice cream scoop of beans. Ridiculous. The beef brisket was dry and required drenching in sauce for... more

IT's cafeteria style, but courteous, rapid service, we sat outside in back for people watching and the classic neon sign. Chicken, ribs and sausage were all great, but when you get them in the combo, the portion is just a little less than you would want. If i came back I would order the 1/2 chicken, the rack of ribs,... more

The food here is very good and you get a big helping. I loved the brisket and ribs. The baked beans were probably the best I have ever had. Would definitely go back if ever in Nashville again. more

I spent a lot of time reviewing BBQ Resturants before selecting Jacks, prior to a business trip. The quality and quanity of the food was very poor. The ribs were tasteless/dry and the coleslaw was terrible for a side item that is so easy to make. Try another place-----our time and money was not well spent. I will stick to... more

Jack's has delicious BBQ, but get there early...the place is small and very crowded. It is the perfect place to begin an evening out. It is very casual-think jeans! more
