Papa Jack's BBQ

When pulling the ribs out of the container, the rib came clean out. Super tender and great smoke/flavor. The brisket was tender and tasty. The sausage was perfectly cooked and great taste. The smoked Mac and cheese was fantastic. The greens were good, but had a sweetness to them that I needed to add salt and pepper to balance it out. Smoked cabbage wasn’t my thing, but I’m not a huge proponent for cabbage regardless. Potato salad was really good. Sweet potato casserole was on point. The people were really friendly. Not just the staff, but even the customers coming in were really friendly and I truly enjoyed my experience. Oh!...If you like bbq sauce...they have it figured out. If you’re there for the first time, they give you a desert of choice on the house (free). I didn’t try that yet, as I don’t eat desert but it smelled and looked legit.

As I was driving back from Austin, I googled the best bbq in Waco and this little gem popped up,, and I stopped in today to get dinner for my husband. We got the brisket, potato salad, beans, smoked cabbage and buttermilk pie! The cabbage was melt in your mouth Smokey goodness and the brisket was falling off the fork tender. So amazing and I can’t wait to go again. Thank you Kim for your hospitality and we will for sure be back!

Wow this place is so awesome. Kim greeted us as we entered with a smile and walked us through the menu. We ordered and she put the desert on the house since it was our first time. I got a brisket plate with smoked Mac n cheese and sweet potato casserole. My friend got the special which was a brisket sandwich. Both were awesome my brisket was perfect and the smoked Mac n cheese was wonderful. The portion was huge too! Can’t recommend this place enough!
