THE BEST BAR-B-QUE IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
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.

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 vegetable on the menu.

The Extras
The restaurant also offers catering for parties and other events.
Where to Sit
The main dining room gets crowded when there's a concert or game going on, so look to the back patio for additional seating. And bring your pup--the patio is pet-friendly.

Whit4mail - 06/06/2008Seriously. Just the absolute best. Period. You can't eat 10 bucks worth of food and not feel like you have to be rolled out. INcredible place !
Special Memories at the Best Barbeque Joint Ever!
kelleyblueyes - 06/06/2008My husband and I went to Nashville on our honeymoon in 1999 when we stumbled upon Jack's on Broadway. Wow!! We were definetly glad that we found it. The staff is very nice and helpful and the atmosphere is charming. But it was the spectacular food that impressed us the most. The pulled pork sandwich is to die for. As well as everything else! Unfortunately, we haven't been able to go back for a few years. I would give anything to eat at Jack's again- it holds speacial memories, both of my honeymoon and the delicious food.
