Unassuming looking from the road. I park in the parking lot and walk in. Im greeted with a friendly smile and a hello. They offer me a seat, a menu and take my drink order. I order my sweet tea and take a look at the menu. A splendid two-sided menu with plenty of choices, yet not overwhelming. I wish all menus were like this. I order some baby back ribs, brisket, fries and applesauce. Somewhere in there I received my drink; the sweet tea is good by the way. I have a brief wait and my food was brought out. It looked tasty. The fries and applesauce were the standard fare. The meats looked delicious. I cut into the brisket and my taste buds were amazed by the flavor. Truly the best brisket I have ever had. Next its time to eat the baby back ribs that were doused in Bbq sauce. The sauce was very good and the ribs were even better. The staff were friendly and attentive. The decor is beachy giving the place a nice feel to it. One of the best bbq places I have ever eaten and on top of all that, they are very reasonably priced. Keep up the good work!

I absolutely love Madd Jacks! I am a regular, I encourage my friends and coworkers to go and enjoy their BBQ! The establishment is run by a family of genuine hardworking, locals. The late owner was the mastermind behind the BBQ, and his wife and daughter have carried on and even improved his legacy. They are a wonderful family with an extremely tasty product that they want to share with the world! Although they cannot please 100% of their guests, they genuinely DO care! If you are EVER not satisfied, please let them know. They love their customers, they work hard for your business and stand behind their quality product! Their ribs are HUGE and so meaty! The Tri-tip is also one of my favorites! Please come out and support local families, local business - you wont be disappointed! If you are for any reason, please voice your concerns as these owners REALLY DO CARE!

Nice, quiet place for good BBQ. We were staying in the area...walked down the beach then cut over the short 2 blocks to this restaurant. It was a bit different than I expected from the outside...I figured it would be more beachy, but was actually in a small strip plaza. However the interior decorating was warm and inviting....and the staff were very friendly. Beer selection was decent with some local breweries included. The bbq was tender and tasty. I had the chicken and brisket platter....husband had pulled pork and brisket. Nice, light smokiness and not drowning in sauce. The sides were huge and excellent. Way too much food for the two of us! Wish we had room for dessert. Would recommend to anyone who wants some good, not-chain-restaurant bbq.

We ate at Hooters the night before. WHAT A MISTAKE!! Mad Jacks is AWESOME. The food is spectacular and thats an understatement. I am from Georgia and I have not had good bbq in a while. This place is a must try if you are in the Cocoa beach area. Lori was an AWESOME waitress and they place was just amazing. I am very imposed with Mad Jacks. I had the pulled pork nachos and it was a HUGE portion. My wife had the tri tip combo. Also an excellent dish. My son are the chicken sandwich which was also great. Again, I am very impressed with Mad Jacks. I wish we had one here in Georgia. The comments before me are spot on. Great place

OMG! OMG! I honestly thought I had had good BBQ before. While staying in Cape Canaveral for the week (our son was attending Camp KSC) we decided to try some different restaurants in the area. A quick Google search on the "best restaurants in Cape Canaveral" listed this place with high marks. We decided to give it a try and stopped by the other night. From the outside, the place doesnt look like much, but dont let that deter you. The magic happens inside. The tri tip and pulled pork are OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious! Madd Jacks was so fantastic, that we will be visiting again before we head home to Kissimmee.

Awesome food. Been there twice in 2 days. Ribs, burgers, wraps, and sandwiches that we tried were all so good. Side and entree salad portions were huge and the balsamic vinaigrette was a nice match for the very fresh mixed greens and veggies. The staff is attentive and friendly. Best service weve had in Cocoa Beach by far. Even when they were really busy, our server was always nearby and checking on things. The place is very clean, which is not a given in many establishments down here, and the atmosphere is beachy and fun. Definitely check it out.

We loved the food. We followed them all the way to their new location. However today we had a party of about 25. We called ahead. However, the table that they fixed would not accommodate eight of us. We asked that two tables be put together so we could stay with our party. One waitress would not allow her table to be moved to a be put with the other table so the eight of us could eat with our friends. We had to take our business else where so that we could all sit together. The eight of us. Thank you for your new service at Cocoa Beach.

First you need to know Madd Jacks has moved to 6006 North Atlantic in Cape Canaveral. There is another BBQ place where they used to be. NOT as good. When Woodys closed I needed to find a new BBQ place. I found it. Way better than Woodys. We got both types of ribs and pulled pork. Sides of BBQ baked beans, collards, macaroni, sweet potato and Fries. All good to great. Large portion sizes. This is the first time ever I have not been able to finish a rib plate. Ever. Very friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

The meats where great, portions where largeand filling, not cheap but worth the price. Most restaurants in the area charge the same price so its no big deal. As I said the meat was great, the fries could have been better. Id like to see fried potato skins and home made fries thats really the only thing missing, everything else was so good it didnt matter, Ill come back here definatly. Family friendly, server was good, drinks where large, definatly recommended

We love this place. They have hands down the BEST BBQ around. I would love to give them 5 stars, but their side dishes are lacking. Also their new location is less welcoming. It is very bright and there is no waiting area to sit while waiting to be seated. They have raised their prices a few times since moving which i can understand rising food costs, but I would print new menus vs writing over the old prices.

Fell in love with this place when it was in its old location. Finally made it to the new location today and was still impressed with the food. The new place is much more open and accommodating but the smell from the nail place next door is pretty strong when you first walk in. Easily ignored though; especially once you get your food. Autumn is the best. Only real complaint; youre to far away from CCAFS now!

Great Food! Took my family there. There wasnt one thing I could complain about. I asked for a hot sauce and the waitress told me that they were out but she made a make shift hot bbque sauce for me anyways. The portions were a nice size as well! Another thing was nice seeing the owner walk around checking on the tables making sure we were satisfied with everything! Looking forward to going back!
