We were attracted to The Tin Table by its high Google rating, its diverse (perhaps eclectic) menu, very reasonable prices. It did not disappoint. The sharables are certainly adequate for sharing or realistically an entrée if you choose not to share. The cheese plate with the warm olives is a fantastic combination.

About the restaurant

Authentic Central Texas Barbecue featuring the Texas Trinity - Brisket, Ribs, Sausage. Great craft cocktails including our famous Smoked Orange Old Fashioned. Incredibly good desserts like Peach Cobbler and Pecan Pie. Super delicious Breakfast Tacos. It's like taking a trip to Texas the minute you walk in the door.

Owner Jack Timmons grew up in Texas and has lived in Seattle for the last 2 decades. In 2012, he attended BBQ Summer Camp at the Meat Sciences department of Texas A&M, then toured many historic barbecue temples of Central Texas. Returning to Seattle, he bought an offset smoker, imported some post oak and mesquite and started the Seattle Brisket Experience. After a year+ of practicing the art of barbecue, and serving succulent smoked meats to thousands of Northwest BBQ fans at BBQ raves, Jack opened a restaurant in the SoDo region of Seattle in 2014 to bring Central Texas BBQ to the people of Seattle and the Puget Sound region!

This was our first visit to Jack's, the service was great, food good, wind pours generous and the beer was cold. It was a fun evening, we enjoyed their steak special. Casual environment, noise was loud but not crazy. Would go again if location was closer to home.

Our server was very kind and informative. We were there for a birthday celebration and was offered complimentary water and champagne. The sushi was very tasty and fresh. Appetizers were also well made. It’s pricey but the experience was positive.
