Went with the "picnic" platter for 4 people since it was our first time here. Honestly everything was really good. The main star of the show was the 3 sauces on the table. Make sure to try all the sauces or you're missing out. Ordering was easy since we just ordered through a QR code. Fun fact: The route to the bathroom was quite interesting and probably one of the farthest bathrooms I ever had to walk to

Before arriving in Seattle we did a little restaurant research and knew Jack's BBQ was close to our hotel and on our short list for lunch when we arrived. It was a little hard to find, it's in an office building on the bottom floor, probably better to enter from 4th street. I had a rib plate with collard greens, Hubbs had hot links with chili and we shared some Mac & cheese. Everything was so good! There was so much food we couldn't finish it. The ribs were smoky and tender, the greens were very good. If you've read my reviews for a while you know I judge places on their collard greens- these were very good! I would definitely eat here again! As a matter of face I might eat here on Monday before we head to the airport.

Quick, easy, delicious. Will be back for sure! be sure to check out their sodo spot too, take a pit tour and see how they smoke all of their meats.

Convenient location in side the Columbia Tower food court. I was so happy to see a BBQ restaurant here. I ordered the two meat combo plate, which comes with a side. This time I got the brisket and sausage, with a side of mac and cheese. The brisket was very tasty with a delicious peppery bark. I appreciate not getting an overly fatty piece. The sausage was perfect with just enough flavor from the spices to not overwhelm my taste bugs. The mac and cheese was a decent quality. There is a self serve pepper, pickle, and onion station. You can also self serve slices of white bread. I thought I was going to have some leftovers for dinner, but I couldn't help myself and finished the whole thing off. Be prepared for an unproductive afternoon if you have this heavy lunch. It was delicious, but made me real sleepy :-)

Good Seattle BBQ is hard to find. But you're already here if you're reading this review. Don't sleep on the chicken.

this is not Texas (meaning we're in WA state), but this is pretty good for Seattle bbq that is Texas-style! the meat for my ribs and inside my brisket sandwich had some smokiness.. juiciness.. and tenderness.. that's pretty good plus, the ribs were pretty meaty; long bones filled with meat! their bbq sauce was good as well! also, since you're in the Columbia Center which I haven't been to for a while!.. until today; they upgraded their seats and tables for folks to dine and eat in the lower three floors and that in my opinion, is a pleasant experience for the diner and to have decent bbq, that is an added bonus

My favorite BBQ joint just opened a location right down the street from my office, so, WINNING! So glad Jack's BBQ has a spot in the Columbia Tower, making it super convenient for those in downtown Seattle to visit. I read all the news/excitement about Jack's BBQ opening a location in the Columbia Tower last year and made sure to remember the date of when it was to open. And the time came, my friends. I visited, I ate, I smiled. It was a BBQ lunch worth splurging on, at least, once every month. (I'll work on it.) Just like the other food spots in the Columbia Tower, this location of Jack's primarily serves as a place for pick-up/to-go since the Tower has seating/lounging in the center of all the eateries. However, there are some chairs inside by where the condiments are. I advise to get here early though if you're looking to dine-in because when I visited during prime lunch hour, Jack's had the longest line. It went by fast though. OH! And Jack was there, greeting all the customers and making sure all was well! I ordered the Brisket Plate with Mac & Cheese and spicy BBQ sauce. It didn't take long to get. After I picked up my order I went to get utensils and napkins, and saw there were complimentary white bread slices, jalapenos, pickles, and onions to top off your BBQ! Love it! When I finally sat to chow down I was pleased with the packaging of the BBQ. My brisket was wrapped in foil, helping the heat stay in and mac and cheese was in a small container, as was the sauce. Nothing gets messy 'til you make it messy! Although the brisket wasn't as good as getting it when you dine-in at the main Jack's location, it was still solid. It wasn't as tender as I remembered it being, but it was still darn good. Plus, it was half a pound, which is more than enough. The Mac & Cheese was good and had some bread crumbs, for some crunch factor. I did like the spicy BBQ sauce that I got mine with, as it added some zesty flavor to the brisket. It was a $15 plate, so is spendy for lunch, but I do enjoy Jack's BBQ! I already can't wait to visit again and try more of the menu items. I love that they have combination plates, sandwiches and a solid list of sides of your choosing with any combo. They also serve breakfast, which one of these days I'm gonna try 'cause they have tacos! More to report in the near future...
