Humongous spilling over the sides meaty tender and super tasty brisket potato!!!! I can't remember a better one I've ever had! It could feed 2 normal people, and stuffed me full as a tick! I had the Sadie baked potato, burnt ends, and tried a bacon wrapped jalapeno. The burnt ends were too tender, I like mine more crispy. I would skip the bacon jalapeno, but that potato was fabulous! I came because of the photos and it was spot on!! Bonus was it tasted as good as it looked! I would definitely return and try the huge sandwich next! The cashier was super friendly and also said the Arlington location is not affiliated with this location, and this location was much preferred by their customers. The simple decor shows off the award winning BBQ and leaves no doubts to their expertise. Well done!

We start with the service, it was awesome! The lady at the counter was super sweet, and if you never had their food you need to now. I had the Sadie, which is a fat baked potato with brisket, sausage, grilled onions, beans, sour creme, a ton of butter and holy cow it is only $12.00! I added the potato salad and a sweet tea, I really can't say anything else. I returned today for the "Jambo Texan" some jalapeƱos, cowboy corn and potato salad. It was well worth the money! $18 for the sando, $1.50 for each jal and $2.50 per side. I snapped a Pic of both the Sadie and JT. Don't sleep on this spot Burleson, it's that damn good.

This site is incredible. The meal is all expertly prepared, and I can honestly say that it is the best BBQ I've ever eaten. You definitely don't want to miss it. The proprietors are the kindest people you'll ever meet, and they go above and beyond to make each and every one of their patrons feel valued. 11 out of 10!

This was some good BBQ. I had the chopped brisket sandwich and potato salad & both were good. Wife had some sliced brisket and enjoyed that. Another of our party had the sausage and it wasn't that good. Keep in mind bbq taste is mostly a preference and one may like it and another not. I can't comment on the sausage. The peach cobbler was great. We also had the jalapeƱo poppers which I could have made a meal from...fantastic. I would most definitely try this place again. Heard some foul language coming from the kitchen...don't care for that and makes the place seem a little unprofessional imo.

This place is great. I've driven past it for years and finally decided to stop by today. I should've came by years ago.

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 Iā€™m praying my family doesnā€™t get sick. I didnā€™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 jalapeƱo 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.

I am always thinking about what my favorite BBQ in DFW is and Jambo's Original is near the top of my thoughts. Some BBQ places can do a smoke & mirror act by serving Prime grade brisket which will almost always taste great even with an amateur pitmaster smoking it. At Jambo's Original I am sure the brisket is not higher than Choice grade and it is absolutely amazing. The seasoning and smoke level are perfect. The brisket is moist and falls apart easy. If an amazing brisket isn't enough, their pork ribs are absolutely perfect. They have a sweet flavor and they are tender. They don't "fall-off" the bone but they easily pull off the bone. They are also beautiful to look at. The sides are very good and the service was great. If there is a definition of a true off the beaten path Texas BBQ I do believe it is Original Jambo's in Rendon.
