Jack’s Family Restaurants Kicks Off 2026 With Launch of New Country Rib Sandwich

Southern-rooted barbecue flavor defines Jack’s approach to its new limited-time menu item

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Dec. 31, 2025) – Jack’s Family Restaurants (Jack’s) announced today the launch of its new Country Rib Sandwich, a limited-time offering built on Southern flavor and tradition. The sandwich is available now at all Jack’s locations.

The Country Rib Sandwich features a boneless-seasoned rib patty smothered in tangy barbecue sauce, topped with pickles and onions and served on a toasted hoagie bun.

Rib-style sandwiches continue to generate strong consumer interest as limited-time menu offerings nationwide. Jack’s entry into the category stands apart through its Southern roots and emphasis on flavor authenticity, drawing from a region where barbecue has long been a point of pride and identity, a staple rather than a novelty.

With Jack’s signature barbecue sauce, the sandwich underscores the brand’s commitment to comfort food rooted in Southern tradition and shaped for today’s cravings.

“We wanted to kick off 2026 by bringing a rib sandwich to our menu the right way,” said Dana Taylor, newly appointed CEO of Jack’s Family Restaurants. “Barbecue is part of our heritage, and having our own barbecue sauce recipe allows us to create a sandwich that reflects the traditions and tastes our guests grew up with across the South.”

The Country Rib Sandwich is available for a limited time at all Jack’s locations. Guests can also enjoy the sandwich as part of a value meal with fries and a hand-held fried pie for $6.49.
