If you like your meat.smoked for days and soft go right ahead. Brisket was smoked so.long that the.smoke ring was an inch thick. Chicken smoked to nothing and the ribs. SMH. Good greens and MAC but tea was too sweet. I had the three meat dinner.

They dont seem to be in a hurry and they have a small space so speeding up the process might be hard, but i see the wait as part of the experience. If you get there late you will be waiting out the door and its a good 20-30 min wait. Its well worth it once you get the food...

We got take-out: brisket, pulled pork, sausage, mac & cheese, beans, and slaw and everything was good! The prices are also really good too.

We landed at Jack's BBQ in Downtown Nashville after some research and were very glad we did. We both got a sampler plate (three kinds of meat) and sampled all the BBQ sauces. We found it was almost like food and wine pairings - worth experimenting as different combinations REALLY worked well. As you wait in line (we did for...

This was some of the best BBQ ever....great ribs and the smoked turkey was unbelievable...too bad they ran out of brisket. Don't let the line extnding out the door scare you off, it moc\ves fast and there is more seating upstairs. You will not regret the decision to wait for the eats. Beware: closed on Sundays, so plan ahead!

My husband and I just moved to Nashville last month and we heard WONDERFUL reviews about Jack's so we decided to eat there for lunch on Saturday. The line was long, but it went fairly quickly, but the service was pretty awful. The people serving the food were not friendly at all and quite honestly, were a bit rude. Everyone...

True, it's a place aimed at bringing in tourists in the very heart of the tourist district. However, Jack's has great food from chopped pork to ribs that is cooked over real coals. If nothing else, stop in for some great tea and to check out some of the history hanging on every available inch of wall or taking place...
