Yesterday night was my first time experiencing Jack Flat BBQ at centropolis. I know for a fact that I am NEVER going back. I don't mean to sound harsh, however the price we paid (175, 220 including tip) for the portions we received were absolutely diabolical. That and the food was mid. I went with a family of four. Two of us ordered smash burgers, two of us ordered brisket. The burgers were 22 dollars each, burnt as hell, and do not come with anything else other than burger itself. The fries are an additional price and we ended up ordering two since we were still hungry. The burger on its own is relatively small in comparison to other restaurants ive been to (which mind you charge the same price for the entire meal, including fries and additional food such as coleslaw and pickles.) The brisket was as dry as a desert and the sauces provided weren't any better.. I really am dissapointed with the meat as I am an enthusiast of foods as such. Also the brisket came with absolutely nothing but a slice of bread and a sprinkle of sliced pickles/ pickled onions. The drinks were okay. Not exactly worth the steep price though, especially considering the fact that we had to pay for additional sides to meals that should already have them anyways. Atmosphere isn't bad, the decor is interesting and sparks conversations so that I can appreciate. What I wasn't crazy about was the fact that we were seated awkwardly beside another family (the entire restaurant was practically empty since we had arrived early) and we could only recieve information in french. The servers were polite, nonetheless. Our reservation was at 6:00 and we ended up leaving at 6:40 as the food came super fast. It makes you wonder if it was left over. The food (specifically the brisket) wasn't warm either. I hate to be that kind of person but if you want a better experience with food portions and want to try something similar, go to Elixor, Madisons, or la belle et la boeuf. Below is a photo of the Hurricane drink and the smash burger. The fries were not included and were shared amongst eachother. Its very underwhelming to recieve a large tray with not much food. I would not reccomend going here.

What a wonderful time we had there. Saw the big BBQ boards being brought to tables. Ohhh yummy 🤤. I could not even be able to dent the generous amount of assorted meats. I ordered the double bacon cheese and a side of fries. Great flavor and also generous amount to consume. The waiter was very efficient and knowledgeable. I am sure all the staff was as good and pleasant as he was.

My favorite spot to eat in Laval. Food is 10/10, vibe 11/10. If there was a West Island location we would go every week!

We got the brisket and the short ribs and the burger and a couple of other things but The food was pretty cold for some reason so I'm sure it did affect the taste. Would love to go again and hopefully this time it will be served hot

Solid BBQ spot with a fun Western cowboy theme. The meat is well-smoked and flavorful, though some cuts could be more melt-in-your-mouth. Smash burgers are some of the best.The sides are pretty underwhelming, which is disappointing since good sides help balance out all the heavy meat.

We went to the Laval location off hours on a Saturday, first time. We asked for a booth and they accomodated, although I was told we'd have to leave by 6:30, really?? I was disappointed - there was no menu in English or at least a translation on the French menu - it was totally in French and my French is weak. I think they should accomodate our English population too, especially since I was with an out-of towner. Everything on the menu was a la carte unless you ordered the meat platters. I believed the french fries were fresh cut, but our plate was frozen crinkle fries. Our bbq burgers were good. Without knowledge, by trying to read the menu in french, my friend ordered a double smashburger in error. All in all, I found the prices very high. Atmosphere is great. I may go back, but would have to study the menu from home before ordering. P.S. I see many 5 star reviews with pictures of nice fresh cut fries, makes me wonder who's posting those pictures and writing those reviews. All the plates I witnessed when there, served only crinkle frozen french fries for $8.00. P.P.S., The lady servers should have their long hair tied back when serving.

It is an amazing place, and what can I say about the food? It is the best that I have tried in the Montreal region! The only problem is that it is far from my place, otherwise I would be there every single day!

Very good food quality, very friendly and professional staff, prices increased a little bit recently but are ok. Sometimes is very noisy but has a good vibe and atmosphere. Reservation is easy

The food is good, but the experience was disappointing. The restaurant was extremely cramped and overcrowded, to the point of being uncomfortable. The cowboy-style American decor didn’t help the atmosphere and felt off-putting. The service was worse. The hostess clearly didn’t want to be there. When we were seated, the only thing she said was that we had two hours and then walked away. I’ve never been told that before, and it felt rude and unnecessary. To make things worse, our order came out wrong. They offered to fix it, but I didn’t want to delay the meal and eat separately from my family. Overall, good food doesn’t make up for the cramped space and poor service. I’m not sure I’ll be back.

If you like extremely loud music, getting your utensils after you’re done your meal, dry and rough brisket then jack flat is the place for you!

The best BBQ is here. Brisket, Ribs, Bucket of wings on Sunday -all great. Wish they had better sides like fresh cut fries instead of processed, mashed potatoes, baked beans, etc.. Way better than Diablos (tough beef ribs and brisket)

VERY DISAPPOINTING This was my wife’s and I first time visiting Jack Flats BBQ. We arrived at 4pm on a Tuesday and they just opened. We looked at the menu and the server came over and asked if we had questions and we said it was our first here. Here explained the small menu and pointed out the ‘Jack Flat BBQ Experience’ and said that’s what they’re known for. Not being a stranger to BBQ and have a really good idea as to what great BBQ is and what should come a platter of ‘Huge meat trays and accompaniments’ (that is what is described as) we ordered it for us. It was $49 per person so it would be $98 as it’s a 2 person minimum which we were holding at the explanation of the menu or is it listed on the menu. We ordered 2 cokes and they came in the smallest glasses, pretty much a hi ball glass. Our ‘huge meat trays and accompaniments’ arrived and I was very under whelmed at first glance. 1 tray had 4 ribs, 3 pieces of brisket, 3 slices of turkey and 4 pieces of pork belly and 2 pieces of plain white bread. The other tray had fries, caesar salad and green beans. Keep in mind there was no option to pick what meat or accompaniments it came with or did it would t say what it came with. I’ve been to numerous BBQ places in the US & Canada and this was probably the worst for what was offered in a platter that gives you a good sample of what they have to offer. The turkey was kinda dry and cold, the brisket, ribs and pork were ok, nothing great by any means for their rating of 4.3 with 2.2k reviews. Not sure why anyone would want a caesar salad at a BBQ place but where’s the baked beans? The Mac and cheese? The corn bread? The coleslaw? Potato salad? Instead here’s some green beans and salad and plain krinkle cut fries and plain white bread. The sausage? The pulled chicken? I gladly would have not had the dry turkey and had a sausage but there was no option to pick your meats or sides. Throughout our meal we asked for refills on out pop and they refilled out small glasses and brought them back. End of the meal I asked for the bill and was charged $3.50 PER POP/REFILL for a total of $17.50 with ZERO mention that the pop wasn’t free refills nor did they have ANY mention of fountain drinks on the menu so we didn’t know the price. Needless to say the bill came to over $130 after tax and was definitely not worth it. I will not be coming back at all. I know BBQ isn’t cheap but the value for your money and the fact no refills on pop and not told about it is ridiculous.

We had the jack flat experience in a group of 5 and it was great, so much food that we had to get 3 take out container back home. The service was great and very fast even though there were multiple events happening at the same time.
