Mad Jack's Mountaintop BBQ
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Central Texas barbecue in the New Mexico mountains, doing things its own way since 2015.
Mad Jack's Mountaintop BBQ sits at elevation in Cloudcroft, a long way from the Texas pits that inspired it. The place exists on its own terms — not a replica, not a homage, but a working barbecue joint that took the style and made it work at 9,000 feet.
They're open, they're cooking, and they're not interested in explaining themselves. Call ahead or check the website; the rest is between you and the smoke.
