A man of taste and multi-talents, Jack Cawthon first began in the food service business as Cawthon's Caterer, Inc. in 1976. While catering to Nashville's social functions over the years, Cawthon found there was a void in "good Nashville barbecue," and so began his homework. Jack Cawthon started Jack's Bar-B-Que and is currently located only 10 steps from the back stage door of the Historic Ryman.

Seven days a week, Jack's Bar-B-Que proudly serves Tennessee pork shoulder, Texas beef brisket, smoked turkey, Texas sausage, St. Louis ribs, smoked chicken and heapings of other Southern cuisine.

Editorial Review for Jack's Bar-B-Que – by Ashly Callaway

In Short
With pink-neon flying pigs flanking its sign, this barbecue joint is easy to spot among the lower Broadway eateries. Get in line at the back of the casual, cozy dining room to get your paper plate loaded up with pulled pork, ribs and sides. The pork shoulder is tender and smoky and the beef brisket is moist and peppery. There's also macaroni and cheese and green beans--pretty much the only actual vegetable on the menu.

My friend and I were in Nashville this past week and had lunch at Jack's. My beef brisket was excellent, tender, good flavor, and even better with sauce. My friend ordered the smoked turkey which was not very good at all. She did not eat it. The green beans were good, the macaroni & cheese was okay; a little mushy. The mild barbecue sauce was pretty good. The guys behind the counter were friendly. Our favorite thing here was the cornbread. In general, we were a little disappointed with the food; but at the same time we felt like we got a pretty authentic experience. If you decide to try it - I would just tell you not to order the turkey, everything else looked pretty good.

Pros: beef brisket, green beans, good value

Cons: smoked turkey

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Hands down, Jack has the best quality meat, the best smoking process and the best sauce anywhere. I should say I recommend the brisket & the shoulder over the chicken & the ribs. The baked beans are sweet and delicious and go well with the potato salad. The pie is good too. It's cafeteria style so it's served fast. I like the texas toast but the cornbread is good too. It's on the sweet side, I know some folks don't like that but, I do.

Pros: quality, delicious, food, great people

Cons: none that I can, thin of - it's great!
