Mushy Crappy BBQ... But good corn and Macaroni!

by jasonwest82 at Citysearch

I just ate there about 20 minutes ago. It was awful. It didn't even smell good walking in the door. Maybe that was just the collard greens haha. I ordered the #2 BBQ Sliced Beef ($9.74 at) Per the recommendation of the staff. Wow.. they were really off. It was mushy nasty beef covered in flavorless sauce. I then tried to make it better by using the HOT SAUCE on the table. This helped a bit, but not enough to finish the meat. I did like the sides. Macaroni was tasty.. homestyle. The corn on the cob tasted like.. corn on the cob. Finished them both. Then i moved to the corn bread. Decent if you put enough butter on.. but i guess you could say that about most things. Customer service was to be expected at a BBQ place and the employees were arguing in the back about how they take orders and what they were low on. I was there at only 7pm.. i think they close at 830 but i couldn't find the hours anyway. Last but not least we left not happy and smelling of wood smoke. Considering I wasted $20 and gas and time to try this place that will be my first and last visit unless they are doing a "hey we changed try us again free" promo. Doubt it. Thanks for listening.

• Pros: Good sides - Drive thru for crappy BBQ!
• Cons: Crappy BBQ - Smelling like a smoke house when leaving

Best BBQ in South Florida

by kidholiday at Citysearch

I love BBQ. I've tried everything in South Florida. NOTHING can touch Jack's. Don't let the plain decor fool you, this place is for real. The portions are large and satisfying, and their sauce is perfect. Try the Sampler platter the first time you go, after you've had that a couple hundred times, go for the rip-tip platter.

Jack's side-dishes will also impress: My favs are the mac n cheese, the beans, and the fries.

You also get a nice hunk of cornbread with most meals. Good for cleaning your plate.

If you've got one meal left to eat on this earth, have it at Jack's.

• Pros: Great food
• Cons: Ambiance
