Jimmy Jacks Rib Shack

Jimmy's Rib Shack in Paihia was legit the best thing ever and then they went changed their recipe and it wasn’t as good. However jimmy jacks in Whangarei has redeemed its place for good ribs. From memory it was slightly on the more expensive side of things. Good ribs just not enough sauce.

The food was awful. The bacon wrapped chicken was COLD and pre cooked possibly several days earlier. The potato salad was large chunks of spuds and mayo with nothing else. The waitstaff dumped plates and drinks on table and had NO idea how to serve , or how to remember orders. Yeah they might be famous for their ribs, but better ribs are served elsewhere in Whangarei.

The ribs were great everything else wasnt. Still like Paihia better.

Amazing place to go to with both family and friends to have a nice filling meal for cheap. My husband and son loved the ribs and the large platter which filled them up real good. Will go here again soon, with the whole family. The nice and friendly staff made the evening even better. A highly recommended place to go to with family and friends.

Some of the best tasting ribs I have ever had. Large platters are amazing value and never leave you hungry. Waiters are polite and efficient. Great dining experience.
