Hill Country BBQ Market

30 W 26th St
New York NY
United States



That's right it's Hill Country in The Big Apple! If you've got a hankering for some Texas style Que while visiting the big city, Hill Country might just be the ticket.


Grab your Pick meal ticket and order up smoked meats by the pound and sides by the serving.



Texas Que is generally judged by it's brisket and the brisket here is pretty dern good. A nice smoke ring, moist, tender with mild smokey flavor.

Beef ribs are tender and flavorfull. Pork ribs had a spicy rub but were a bit firm for my likin.

Chipotle deviled eggs, yum, mac & cheese was good, made with actual cheese and plenty of it. Creamy style green beans reminded me of the holidays. Ranch style baked beans were tasty with some burnt ends tossed in to add to the flavor. The corn bread was sweet, firm, and moist.


Hill Country also had some foot stompin down stairs.

Good Que

Smokey goodness hits you hard walking through the door at Jack's. As the great Mike Manning says "you can tell good Barbeque when it taste as good as it smells when you open the door" and that's true at Jack's.



Had the three meat combo: pork shoulder, ribs and brisket. All deliciously smokey and moist.

Classic mac and cheese & green beans and the the corn bread is served thin sliced, sweet and moist.



Multiple sauces: mustard, vinegar & tomato based. All uniquely different and very good.
As you can see, Mike prefers the original sauce.

All in all some great que!
