REDMOND, WA – Barbecue lovers on the Eastside have reason to celebrate: Jack’s BBQ has officially opened its doors in Redmond/Bellevue as of May 9, 2024. Located at 2115 Bel Red Rd., the newest outpost of the Seattle barbecue favorite brings authentic Central Texas-style smoked meats to the neighborhood, just in time for National Barbecue Month.
A New Home for Authentic Texas BBQ
After an extensive search for the perfect location, owner and pitmaster Jack Timmons has found a new home for his signature slow-smoked offerings. The Redmond location serves all the classics that made Jack’s a Seattle institution: moist brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, handmade sausage, tender pulled pork, and juicy smoked chicken, each cooked low and slow over seasoned oak wood for up to 16 hours.
But Jack’s BBQ Redmond isn’t stopping at tradition. The menu expands to include premium Double R Ranch steaks, delivering a high-end beef experience for diners craving more than smoked meats. To round out the experience, guests can enjoy a curated list of craft cocktails, designed to pair perfectly with the bold, smoky flavors Jack’s is known for.
Perfect Timing for a Perfect Pit
The Redmond opening lands during National Barbecue Month, a fitting coincidence for a restaurant that prides itself on honoring the age-old technique of low-and-slow cooking. Timmons, who studied with legendary pitmasters in Texas before launching his barbecue empire, brings that tradition north—with every slice of brisket boasting the signature bark and smoke ring true enthusiasts crave.
“Barbecue is about community, tradition, and time,” Timmons says. “We’re proud to bring that spirit to the Eastside, especially as people come together to celebrate National Barbecue Month.”
More Than a Meal: A Neighborhood Destination
Located between Bellevue and Redmond tech corridors, Jack’s BBQ Redmond is designed to be accessible and welcoming for everyone, from professionals grabbing breakfast tacos on their way to work to families gathering for weekend brunch. The restaurant offers ample parking, warm hospitality, and a rustic-modern interior that evokes the relaxed charm of a Texas smokehouse.
