Barbecue-lovers only need to drive only a few miles north to find the best barbecue in Buffalo. Locally owned and operated, One-Eyed Jacks Smokehouse Grill in Lockport, N.Y. has been serving their authentic-tasting barbecue for 10 years now.
Jacks slow smokes their meat in their state-of-the-art cooker without any sauces but with dry-rub seasoning. This creates a unique, mouth-watering hickory-smoked taste. Then smother the entree with a variety of sauces for the perfect combination.
Jacks' award-winning rib platter, pulled pork dinner, and beef brisket are must-haves for anyone dining at Jacks for the first time.
"[They've got] the best pulled pork in the area hands down," said Jason Ritz, a junior social sciences major. "I like how they give big portions for a reasonable price and I love their house barbeque sauce."
One-Eyed Jacks also caters for parties from four to 100, making it a great choice for large group events from tailgates to graduation parties. Full-catered pig roasts are also available for those hosting large parties.
Those looking to dine in can enjoy a quiet meal within Jacks' confines. The dining room seats up to 80 and creates a comfortable eating experience for all ages.
One-Eyed Jacks is located at 5983 South Transit Road in Lockport.
