“ A great Texas barbecue experience. Stopped in for lunch and had the Texas Trinity plate to sample the 3 biggies- brisket, ribs and sausage. Brisket and sausage is on par but the ribs were so good. The sauce is a bit sweet for me as I like a spicy sauce. Mac n cheese was great and beans were good. The picture plus a drink will cost you 20. Great dining room with tvs. As soon as I sat, a gentleman approached and offered assistance. Bathroom was clean. Everyone was super friendly. Definitely recommend this place if your downtown or catching a ball game. ”
“ I had been interested in this place for a while but hadn't come due to their being closed on weekends, but today made sure to arrive here early on a weekday. Got a beef sandwich and a potato salad. Service was fast and staffers were friendly. Meat and potato salad were simple but very tasty. Sandwich didn't come with onions pickles and jalapenos on the side as you get in some places, but I liked the sandwich without them anyway. Buns and sauce on sandwich were good and went well with the meat. Glad that I came here! ”
“ My very first trip to Texas and we hit the jackpot with this place. So good!! Wow! Great service, good prices and a downtown location. Simply awesome food. ”
“ Ordered Double Duo (2 meats, 1/4 lb each with 2 sides). Beef brisket was very juicy with great flavors, pulled pork was good too. ”
“ So I’m from Australia. We do BBQ , but nothing like this. The food was just delicious and the service really good. We were greeted on arrival. We chose the 2 meats with 2 sides platter on 14.99. Very well priced and the sauces are just so tasty. You just have to go for some local flavour. ”
“ Located directly in front of minute maid stadium, this establishment provides game-goers with a place to enjoy some great food and cold beer before or after the game. Or if the stadium is too crowded the game can be seen on the screens in the dining area. The food is always phenomenal and the staff is on point with their customer service. ”
“ This place is a piece of history in Houston! A must stop to get the ribs and brisket- manager is an ALBERTA boy! Super close to ball park, great food and fun to be had here! ”
“ Nice BBQ joint downtown. I went with a large party and we had lots of seating available. The food was on point; the ribs were spectacular, brisket was good, but the sides stole the show! Also, Jackson Street Barbecue servers the best banana pudding I have ever had in my life. Mark my words. ”
