Jack's Original BBQ has been hands-down the best old-fashioned barbeque joint in Tucson, and assuming that Jack's can compete with the big bbq chains coming to town lately, they will probably always fit an important bbq niche. On a bad day, Jack's beef brisket is the best I have ever tasted, and the baked beans are simmered to perfection.

This is just simple GREAT barbeque. Everything on the menu is great. It is a nice family spot at very reasonable prices. While there is a dinning room we prefer to take a big order home.

Jack's barbeque brings back the essence of childhood family cook-outs as soon as you breeze through the door. The the solid front door and construction of the building tends to make it appear more like a gun and ammunition store at first glance, once inside, it's worth checking out. Although the variety at this restaurant isn't to phenomenal, what they do have is delicious and just enough for barbeque fans. They also sell meats by the pound, do custom barbequing and offer full service catering! A winner in my book, a great place to take the family or just to run in for a quick bite to eat.

This restaurant is rated #1 in the nation for Barbeque (1999 Zagat Survey), and the rating is arguably worth it. The place is homey, friendly, and pretty fast. The food is superb, with a spicy, sweet barbacue sauce, and a wide variety of choices, as well as daily specials. The best thing I've had there (I eat there often) is the sloppy joes, sliced beef, and the combo beef/pork sandwiches. The beans are to die for and the spicy fries are very good too. There are a lot of good barbecue places in Tucson, but I think Jack's is in the top 1 or 2, depending on what you're going for (I personally like Damon's baby back pork ribs, for example--yes, even though it's a chain!).

There are some places that are famous.... This place should be up there with some of the best. They have incredible sandwich meat for pork sandwiches and their barbeque sauce is good and spicy. I love their hot links. The outside seating is very nice, and they have lots of variety for a pretty small price. I suggest getting a bunch of things and taking them home for a family feast, or getting one of their combos for a sit-in lunch. The best barbeque in Tucson....
