Wild Jacks Tex Mex BBQ: Savor the Best of Salad, Barbecue, and Craft Beer

For people going from LA to SF or the other way around, definitely a must stop. Good: So much seating! I was surprised but they have a big indoor space then an even bigger outdoor space and it also has a COW in the outdoor space! I really liked the trip tip sandwich I got - so much flavor for not that many ingredients in the sandwich. There are also great bathrooms and outlets which were definitely much appreciated. Bad: The place is pretty casual but the wait times are really long and we waited 20+ min for our sandwich even when it wasn't that busy. Overall would stop again! Really solid place.

This place is the perfect stop if you’re doing the drive from SF to LA on the 5 with kids! The outdoor area is a massive play area with climbing and slides and a lot of open space for running and getting some energy out of the kids! Food is decent with a varied menu and the service is nice! The general store offers a lot of goodies for the continuing journey on the road…

This place deserves to be rated much higher. Burnt ends burrito with barbecue beans and a delicious hot sauce? Everyone was very kind, service was fast, and it was just a very wholesome, family place. This is a place to go out of your way for, fortunately since it's by the 5 you don't have to!

Came here because the menu looked amazing. It is. We had the burnt ends burritos and it was super yummy. BUT…. I didn’t really care for the Chuck E. Cheese kinda atmosphere lol. But I’m sure people traveling with kids are fine with it. Order at the counter isn’t my favorite thing to do at a restaurant. Especially if you want to enjoy some beers. You have to keep whipping out the credit card lol. Bottled beers. No coors light or bud light. But. I’d try it again because the burrito was so good. Maybe I’ll sit outside or take it to go next time.

Amazing smoked tri tip sandwich and cobb salad, especially for the price. Totally didn't expect the great food given the location. Tri tip had good smoke rings & grill marks and the sandwich had just enough BBQ sauce not to overwhelm the smokey tri tip. Cobb salad picture speaks for itself. Highly recommended rest stop for those making the NorCal <-> SoCal trip. Plenty of indoor seating with AC to escape the heat! Update: I tried the brisket sandwich and it was also great. Good amount of meat.

Stopped by on our drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles and it was a nice break. The Mexican food was flavorful. The coffee next door was just what we needed for the road. There are also souvenirs and snacks, which made it fun to browse while stretching our legs. A good spot to pause and recharge before continuing the journey.

Iconic for sure. Great place for the kids to run around. Smoker was running in the back out side snd creating some great tasting Smoke BBQ = Brisket and hamburger. wry tasty. Ice cream after so great. Self order front and get a buzzer when ready. This place is huge and I bet it can accommodate 600 people. Nice roadside stop that has something for everyone !

On Hwy 5 This is one of my favorite spots. Whenever I’m traveling to LA or heading back home, I make it a point to stop by if the timing works out. Nowadays, it’s also a must-stop for charging my electric car (Tesla charging lounge and Electrify America). My favorite menu items at this restaurant are the ribeye sandwich and the BBQ ribs. I’ve been enjoying them for almost 10 years, and I highly recommend giving them a try if you get the chance!
