🍖 Jack’s BBQ Expands to Federal Way

Bringing Texas Smoke to the South Sound

If you’re a fan of Texas-style barbecue, there’s a new spot near Tacoma that’s already generating buzz.

Jack’s BBQ has officially opened its newest location at 31254 Pacific Highway South in Federal Way, bringing authentic Central Texas flavors a little closer to home.

🔥 A True Taste of Texas

Jack’s BBQ has built its reputation on one thing: slow-smoked perfection. The menu sticks to the classics — juicy brisket, tender pulled pork, smoked sausage, ribs, and all the sides that make Texas barbecue what it is.

They’ve also added a unique local twist with weekday breakfast tacos, giving commuters a reason to stop by in the mornings for something smoky and satisfying before work.

🪵 From Seattle to the South Sound

What started as a single location in Seattle’s SoDo district has grown into a Northwest barbecue staple, with outposts in South Lake Union, Algona, and now Federal Way.

Owner Jack Timmons, a Texas native, spent years perfecting his craft before bringing it north — and his commitment to authenticity shows. Each location uses imported post oak wood from Texas for smoking, giving the meats that signature low-and-slow flavor that barbecue fans crave.

🍽 Why It’s Worth the Trip

Federal Way’s location offers the same laid-back vibe as the others, with friendly service, hearty portions, and the kind of barbecue that reminds you why simple food done right is unbeatable.

Whether you’re dining in, grabbing takeout, or ordering a tray to share, Jack’s hits the sweet spot between Southern comfort and Pacific Northwest hospitality.
