   Really good food, I recommend the pulled pork, esquites, and the brisket. The bar is pretty good too. The place is naturally echo-y, so it is a bit hard to hear in conversation, but the place is GORGEOUS! Very nice waiter as well. It's a bit on the pricier end of barbecue, but this place is worth for a large group of people.

   Food - Delicious food. Service - service is great EXCEPT that we told our server that we were waiting for the 4th person to come in cuz he tries to look for parking. And our server keeps coming back and asked Are you ready to order, ready? We feel bad so we ordered appetizer while our 4th friend still hasn’t arrived yet.

   The cornbread muffin was a failure--no crust at all, and too sweet. The brisket was okay, but not exceptional; the beans good. The key lime pie was a good pie, but not really key lime.

   Repeat customer. Food is always consistently good. Our brunch was great!We had the Brisket & Eggs, Brisket Hash and the Chicken & Waffles. The Mango Mimosas are always delicious, but a little on the small side.

   Absolutely the best BBQ in northern VA. They never disappoint and the food is consistently delicious. Been here a number of times and have never had a bad server. There is good servers and great servers but never a bad one. The wings are delicious on top of all the other more traditional smoked meats.

    This is not the best BBQ place I have been too but it’s also not the worst. Even though there were only about 7 other tables our waitress wasn’t as helpful as she could have been. We asked the hostess for items we needed due to the fact the waitress was unavailable. Simple things such as the bbq sauce that’s typically served to patrons, one member of party has French toast without syrup. ( syrup is served in a small container that looks similar to what one would pour cream into coffee’s from.) The mashed potatoes were good, the Mac and cheese seemed to have a smoky flavor which was good as well. The eggs I received were cold but I didn’t complain. The meat sampler is enough for 2 to share. Overall would I go again, maybe.

    We discovered Texas Jack's by accident while visiting our son who moved to Arlington VA. We love good barbecue and especially brisket. We were blown away by the quality and flavors! The best, juiciest brisket we'd ever had. Large portions, innovative offerings and combinations, super-friendly wait staff. We always order extra to bring home. We are about 2 hours away and have driven there just to eat. Well, and to visit our son too. Definitely try their Sunday brunch.

    Four of us were promptly seated for lunch (12:30). The food was their usual excellent fare, and the kitchen was quick. Service for the entire place consisted of the bartender and a busboy. They were heroic in their efforts, but not really up to covering both rooms and the bar by themselves.

    Great service, had a miscue with one of the wings flavor and they took care of it right away. Got the large sampler and was plenty of food with leftovers for 7 people. Good bbq. Ribs are not the fall of the bone variety but good pink and flavor from rub. Brisket was medium wet and very tender.

    This was our second visit. The waiting staff near the Bar need improvement. There should be at least 3 people to tend to tables as this will allow the bartender to stay behind the bar to make drinks. Also it seem that the food came out too fast which gives off the impression that it was not freshly made. The quality of service was lacking compared to our initial visit.

    We were in town for a funeral and found this place for a quick lunch. We were greeted upon entering and seated promptly. Our waitress was incredibly fast and proficient. The food was excellent. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered food to go to have for dinner on our drive home. If in the area, we will certainly visit again.

    Texas Jacks is Arlington's hidden gem. The staff is kind, the drinks are solid, and the food is awesome. For apps, the nachos (with Brisket) and the brisket egg rolls are fire. You can't really go wrong with any of the entrees or sides. Happy hour is from 3-6 every weekday and is as good of a deal as any in the area. Definitely the best bbq spot in town.

    Rotating assortment of cocktails is always fun. There is a nice mix of local and regional craft beer on tap. Our third visit and for the second time in a row I went with the moist brisket and the collard greens and came away happy! My wife and I again enjoyed the butterscotch bread pudding and our server threw in a banana pudding with a candle for the 60 year old birthday boy in our party. All around the table our party of 6 (4 were first timers!) were raving about their orders.

    Street corn is amazing and a must! We dined outside, there is street traffic but still nice setting. I got the sampler platter. Brisket is A+, pulled pork B, and ribs were a bit disappointing C. They have their own sauces, which were good. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and I would recommend as a boutique/specialty BBQ spot in Fairfax County.

    The food, service, and atmosphere was great and I would definitely come to this location again if ever in the area. Parking was a bit of a challenge so be prepared to find street parking. The pickled onion and pickles juices put on the plate may run into your food. Recommend when ordering to ask for those pickled items to be placed on the side if you don't like pickled flavoring running into your meat.
