Always love coming here! After taking my pup to the vet for shots and check-up , this place Is about 10mins away and pup friendly! Found them on "Bring Fido" app. It's our special treat to come here, and they have a puppy meal they'll have for your furbaby. I usually get some ribs, Brisket and the Sadie. The Sadie is a HUGE baked potato with all sorts of delicious toppings, included Brisket. It's enough for few meals or to share but definitely worth it! Go check it out.

We start with the service, it was awesome! The lady at the counter was super sweet, and if you never had their food you need to now. I had the Sadie, which is a fat baked potato with brisket, sausage, grilled onions, beans, sour creme, a ton of butter and holy cow it is only $12.00! I added the potato salad and a sweet tea, I really can't say anything else. I returned today for the "Jambo Texan" some jalapeños, cowboy corn and potato salad. It was well worth the money! $18 for the sando, $1.50 for each jal and $2.50 per side. I snapped a Pic of both the Sadie and JT. Don't sleep on this spot Burleson, it's that damn good.

Humongous spilling over the sides meaty tender and super tasty brisket potato!!!! I can't remember a better one I've ever had! It could feed 2 normal people, and stuffed me full as a tick! I had the Sadie baked potato, burnt ends, and tried a bacon wrapped jalapeno. The burnt ends were too tender, I like mine more crispy. I would skip the bacon jalapeno, but that potato was fabulous! I came because of the photos and it was spot on!! Bonus was it tasted as good as it looked! I would definitely return and try the huge sandwich next! The cashier was super friendly and also said the Arlington location is not affiliated with this location, and this location was much preferred by their customers. The simple decor shows off the award winning BBQ and leaves no doubts to their expertise. Well done!

I’ll always order sliced brisket at a new bbq joint and early today I happened to get it on a sandwich to eat on the road. It was so tasty part of me didn’t want to finish it, and the burnt ends I made sure to save until we made it to work. There is a great atmosphere inside too, with friendly staff and plenty of awards along the walls to look at.

I am always thinking about what my favorite BBQ in DFW is and Jambo's Original is near the top of my thoughts. Some BBQ places can do a smoke & mirror act by serving Prime grade brisket which will almost always taste great even with an amateur pitmaster smoking it. At Jambo's Original I am sure the brisket is not higher than Choice grade and it is absolutely amazing. The seasoning and smoke level are perfect. The brisket is moist and falls apart easy. If an amazing brisket isn't enough, their pork ribs are absolutely perfect. They have a sweet flavor and they are tender. They don't "fall-off" the bone but they easily pull off the bone. They are also beautiful to look at. The sides are very good and the service was great. If there is a definition of a true off the beaten path Texas BBQ I do believe it is Original Jambo's in Rendon.

It has been a long time since being there. Food and service are not the same. Macaroni and cheese very watery, ribs were ok brisket was greasy and dry, sausage was dry too.

Pretty good. About 5 minutes off of I35, it's a pretty small building. I got the Jambo Texan sandwich which is basically a sampler of all their meats. The ribs, brisket and pulled pork were all OK, the bologna and sausage were good. The burnt ends were tasty. The BBQ sauces were a little sweet for my taste. Worth a stop if your near by, I don't think it's worth going out of the way for tho.

I had the Sadie and the hubs had the big ol sandwich with all the meats. Our order came out in less than 5 mins from the time we ordered. Staff was friendly. The food was on point. Good flavor, taste the smoke on the meat. Budget friendly.

Staff was friendly but the food was little off. I usually visit the location in Arlington and really enjoy the food, but today, I was afraid of getting sick. The sausage looked a little off putting but I tried it anyway and I’m praying my family doesn’t get sick. I didn’t take my chance with mac and cheese because it smelled fine but it had a sour taste which I immediately spat out and told my husband and children not to eat it. The only part of my meal I felt okay with eating was the sliced brisket which was PHENOMENAL and the ribs. I ordered (3)three meat(sliced brisket, chicken (gross), ribs, chopped brisket, and jalapeño sausage) plates all which came with two sides. We had Mac and cheese, cowboy corn, baked beans (also really delicious), and potato salad for sides. $61 total plus tip was $70 for a very mediocre meal.

Maybe I went on an off day, but it wasn't very good. It was dry and had that"reheated" stale taste and texture to it. The people were also very snappy and condescending. I'll give it another try later on, but I'm very disappointed after hearing all the hype.
