We ordered family style for our Thanksgiving dinner. With 6 family members in our party, it was surprisingly good service. Our main entrees were delicious as well as our cocktails and wine. The sides were ok but all in all our family enjoyed it, so it was worth the pricey bill.

The ribs were dry ribs and were good. Chicken, pork, all other meats were bland. Chili was bland. Good Mac and cheese and bbq beans and corn muffin. This was 40 mins from me would not take a trip back. Prices were good and service was beyond good. Overall experience is 3 for food 4 for service, cleaniness and price.

This was our first time in this specific area and trying out this restaurant. The staff and our server were very nice, friendly and helpful. We actually got there 45 minutes early and they accommodated us, we didn't have to wait and was shown to our table. The atmosphere was warm, cozy and inviting. Our appetizer and meal came out about 10 & 15 minutes after ordering. Food was on point, definitely well prepared and simply tasted good.. I definitely recommend this spot for small and large plates...

A bit bummed by the experience considering the write up in Washington Post. Mac and cheese and the Mexican street corn were amazing, but the ribs were just meh. Chicken was super moist but was hoping for some Alabama white bbq and there were only two sauce options that were pretty basic. Honestly though I’m being picky about the food review bc the service was terrible and the noise level required shouting to be heard over the loud trance like music that seemed out of place for a bbq joint.

The brisket egg rolls are a good try and the Brussel sprouts were on point. However, the pulled pork sandwich was dry and was on a weird bun. Others had the brisket. Meh. I didn't know where our server was. She never stopped by to ask about our food or refill our waters. The other staff quickly cleared the table. The prices were slightly expensive for the portions. For 2 slices of brisket, it was $18. Won't be returning.

Love Texas Jacks!! We typically do take out but today we stopped by for brunch with some friends and their kids who are visiting from out of town. Food and cocktails were excellent and service was good! In our opinion this is one of the best BBQ places in the northern Virginia area!!

Good, nice to sit outside too. Good service, super fast food delivery. 3 of us: Nachos with pulled chicken super flavorful (one of us ordered as an entree). Burrito with pull pork was huge could only eat half. Side of cucumber, feta and watermelon was nice but not as flavorful as I would’ve thought. Pulled pork sandwich was good with mac & cheese as a side that was very good.

Attentive friendly service with good knowledge of the menu was a great start. Add to that - creative drinks that paired well with the appetizers. Food had good selection, bbq sampler trays were clearly the specialty. Sandwich items were prepared well but seemed more basic. If you want to taste the excellent bbq, get a large sampler and a few fun sides - leave the standard sandwich fare for a spot without great bbq!

Being from Texas and an avid BBQ person, I’m at a loss for the amount of great BBQ we can find in the DMV. I can say, Texas Jacks met the challenge. We had the meat sampler and even though their sausage is not true Texas Sausage (kelobosa) it was the best smoked sausage I have had up in this area, minus the ones I smoke…lol. The brisket, chicken, sausage, all had amazing flavor. My wife had the pulled pork, pork ribs, brisket and she said they we equally amazing. Mac and cheese, and baked beans were spot on as well…if there was a negative, it was the cornbread…I was a bit disappointed there…but who really wants cornbread…I came there for the meat…amazing, if it wasn’t 2 hours away from me, I’d be eating there weekly.

Chicken is okay. Everything else is awesome. The mac n cheese is absolutely creamy and delicious, the brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with a beautiful charred, smoky ring, the sausage is always good, the pulled pork is wonderful (and I love pulled pork--it's the dish I use to judge all bbq joints). The cornbread muffins are tasty with the honey butter, too, and the coleslaw has just a bit of kick too it. The baked beans are sweet, but not overly. Our server was very accommodating. There are a lot of hard surfaces, so go here to eat, not to have any important conversations.

First time going to brunch and it was excellent. I had the brisket hash and it was delicious. We also ordered the biscuits, which was good but a little oily. I was impressed by the menu range and will definitely go back.

Texas Jack's is the best place in Arlington for BBQ. All of the meats are cooked to perfection and delicious as served. The sauces available are also delicious, but in my opinion not needed because the meat is already so flavorful. The service is always top notch; kind, courteous and attentive.
