Amazing food!! I am so happy that I found this hidden gem. I am usually not a brisket fan and got it for my bf. Lol he had to share because the burnt ends and chopped brisket are seasoned very well and they are delicious. Jalapeño sausage is on point. The mac and cheese is yummy comfort food and the cowboy corn is like a creamy non spicy elote. Definitely coming back. We had the banana pudding too and its good. No complaints!

A Texas Must-Stop for BBQ - The Jalapeño Poppers are Legendary! (5/5 Stars) I was visiting the area and my host was kind enough to bring home some Jambo's BBQ—and I am so glad they did! We had both the Brisket and the Jalapeño Poppers, and both were absolutely amazing and full of authentic Texas flavor. The brisket was tender, smoky, and had a great bark. However, I highly, highly recommend the Jalapeño Poppers. They were truly exceptional—some of the best I have ever had. They were perfectly prepared and a huge highlight of my trip. If you are in the Arlington area, Jambo's BBQ is definitely worth a stop. You will get some really great BBQ and those phenomenal poppers! I can't wait to visit again next time I'm in Texas.

Why have we waited so long to try this place out!!!!!! We had the chopped sandwiches and they were huge and SO GOOD!!!!! My wife had to get a box for her leftovers. I also tried a bacon wrapped jalapeño and my tongue is numb. Lol. It also very tasty. We will be back again. The gentleman working the counter was very nice and fun to talk to.
