Jack's Top Bbq And Home Cooking

It's a BBQ shack. Those are the best kinds. It's like the flavors are soaked into the walls. I am rating against my Memphis BBQ standards. Meat: Moist and not over cooked. But it needs more smoke. Tasting that smoke is what can set a place a step above. Sauce: Points for not being vinegar or mustard based. It's a thick molasses base. It's good. If it was thinner and had some heat to it, it would be more in line with a Memphis style. So it's not my favorite, but it's a good bite. Serving Size: It's not a tiny bun like some places. It's actually a normal sized bun. So, points there. Overall: If the meat had a little more smoke, the sauce was a little thinner and had some heat, this would a a 5. But they are definitely a solid 4. Well, worth a try, so stop in and help Jack retire young. PROS: Friendly service, fair prices, Moist meat. Cons: Lack of smoke, sauce is thick and needs heat.

We stopped here for lunch while on our vacation to visit family and friends in TN, back in December. This place was great! My husband asked the waitress what she recommended and she recommended the specials they had that day. So that's what we went with. They did NOT disappoint! It was ALL very good!! The staff was attentive and friendly. Not a very big restaurant seating wise. There were a lot of locals there when we came and we got one of the last tables available. (So you KNOW it must be good!) Unfortunately we didn't get to try their desserts...but hopefully when we make another trip we'll try them too. We also noticed they fry their fries and tater tots in beef tallow. Which is another thing we will try next time.

Some of the best catfish I've had and the owner and staff were very friendly and professional.

This place is so relaxed feeling. Friendly and family environment delicious food good prices. The waitress is a sweetheart Emma. We came from Kansas and I have to say very juicy hamburgers,Delicious BBQ fries with pulled pork baked beans and yummy nacho cheese sauce I enjoyed every bite.

What an absolutely fantastic lunch and little gem of a restaurant in Sparta. Jack's Top BBQ and Home Cooking has the real deal USA Catfish and my hoagie was absolutely phenomenal. Ultimate baked potatoes and Ruben were also very good. They have fresh soups and just a huge menu. Spoke with the owner and they make all their food fresh and homemade. If you haven’t been it’s worth the drive from Crossville just for the catfish

I've been eating here about once every paycheck for about 5 years. I'm ashamed it took me so long to think to leave a review. The staff is friendly and remembers you after only a couple of times. The food isn't perfect because it tastes like something your mom made for you, which kinda makes it perfect in a different way. I've never had my order made incorrectly due to the attentive staff. The prices and portions are perfect for every member of my family. They will even customize orders if it's within their power. They should toast their burger buns but, that will not stop my support even if they don't.

One of my absolute favorite small town spots! The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, and the hospitality makes you feel right at home every time you walk through the door. You can always count on getting some amazing home cooking here. The burgers are my personal favorite — consistently delicious — but today I decided to branch out and try the BBQ baked potato, and it was just as wonderful. Everything they serve is full of flavor and made with care. If you're looking for great food with a cozy, friendly vibe, this is the place to go!

Truly a southern spot in the heart of Sparta. Upon entering there's an inclosed outdoor seating and dining area. Very clean and upkept. The menu had several options and price is very responsible. I went with the cheeseburger topped with pulled pork I was very indecisive because seeing the friendly server walk out to other tables and everything look appealing. I kept it simple for lunch and was not disappointed.. stop by if your ever in the Sparta area.
