Everything is bigger in texas and these plates line up. Great food and friendly folks
I ate here today first time and I believe it is the best BBQ I have ever had: Jambo Texan. Angelo’s and Railhead were go-to’s until now. Ha!
I’ll always order sliced brisket at a new bbq joint and early today I happened to get it on a sandwich to eat on the road. It was so tasty part of me didn’t want to finish it, and the burnt ends I made sure to save until we made it to work. There is a great atmosphere inside too, with friendly staff and plenty of awards along the walls to look at.
Staff was friendly but the food was little off. I usually visit the location in Arlington and really enjoy the food, but today, I was afraid of getting sick. The sausage looked a little off putting but I tried it anyway and I’m praying my family doesn’t get sick. I didn’t take my chance with mac and cheese because it smelled fine but it had a sour taste which I immediately spat out and told my husband and children not to eat it. The only part of my meal I felt okay with eating was the sliced brisket which was PHENOMENAL and the ribs.I ordered (3)three meat(sliced brisket, chicken (gross), ribs, chopped brisket, and jalapeño sausage) plates all which came with two sides. We had Mac and cheese, cowboy corn, baked beans (also really delicious), and potato salad for sides.$61 total plus tip was $70 for a very mediocre meal.
The only things I've ever had here that weren't delicious are the fries (not great) and the peach cobbler (not good). I've tried almost everything else and it's always terrific.
WOW THIS WAS REALLY GOOD. THEY COOKING UP IN HERE. THIS IS THE "SADIE" LOADED POTATO ?
The BEST chopped brisket sandwich I've had!!! The BBQ sauce was tasty too!Need to come back for more, soon!!
Very good food and super friendly staff. ? Best coleslaw around. And they have bacon wrapped jalapeños!
Don’t get hung up on the Texas Monthly magazine’s pick of the best BBQ joints. I like my brisket smoked, but not overpowering. Nice smoke ring, tender and a good dark caramel bark. If you haven’t tried it, go to the Jambo’s Original in Rendon….you won’t be disappointed! I ordered ten pounds of brisket, sausage,chicken, baked beans and potato salad for a party. Everything was great just as I wanted it. Delicious sweet baked beans with pulled pork mixed inside. Don’t pass this place up. The owner recently passed away, but I assure the same great bbq traditions continues with Jerry and Rodney.
The people there are so friendly they make me feel at home. The food is so good I get there Sadie stuffed potato, it's so big I can make two to three meals out of it.
