Mad Jacks Bbq - Lanesborough

We tried Mad Jack's for the first time and were extremely pleased! We got the rib sampler with baked beans, mac and cheese and a side of hush puppies. Everything was tender and delicious we will be back!

MadJacks catered a large event for us (120 people) in October of 2018. The food was absolutely terrific, the service was to match that and the people involved, from Sarah as organizer to the events people on the night, were both friendly and highly competent. I received many compliments and positive comments on both, during and after the event. Highly recommended.

It was okay... I know that barbecue is hard to please all palates, but this was lacking some fundamentals, in my opinion. I got the 3 meat combo and picked chopped chicken, brisket, and pulled pork. Every meat needed quite a bit of salt to start to bring out the underlying flavors. I've never had to put that much salt on any BBQ. I could see evidence of the meats being smoked on the chicken and the beef, but every meat in my plate lacked much of any smoke flavor. The pulled pork was my least favorite out of the bunch it lacked really any flavor aside from the sauce that was put on it at serving. It was just bland. All the meats were nice and tender and juicy, though. Good on them there. My wife's baby back ribs weren't bad certainly had more smoky flavor and were tender. The sauces weren't our jam, but I'm not knocking them on those house sauce is quite tomato heavy, the Carolina sauce was apple cider vinegar heavy. The spicy and sweet tangy were okay. The sides were good, and the cornbread was moist and sweet. Other stuff: Presentation of the food was good, and the staff was quiet but cordial. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant and nice and clean inside, albeit pretty hot. The bathroom was like a sauna. Would be nice to see small businesses like this one move away from single use plastic utensils and cups for dine in folks. Kid friendliness: Kids menu and good prices for those options.
