Jake's Grill

Our first taste of Jake's was at the state fair last summer and we wanted to try the restaurant because the sandwich was so good. We decided to take the 40 minute drive to see the grill and we're glad we did. It's not much to look at but usually the best food comes from no frills restaurants.When we came in the cashier could tell it was our first time and gave us quick orientation. BEST pit beef I've ever had. I ordered mine rare and it was tender and smoky.We also ordered Mac and cheese which was awesome and Cole slaw. Slaw was just ok but the Mac and cheese was hot and cheesy.We sat to take it all in and watched numerous customers come and go and be very happy they did. The people sitting around us were friendly and talkative. Felt like we made new friends over BBQ.It's not the post beautiful place but the food is great and people are warm and friendly. Worth the drive.

Come for: the ribs and serviceThis place is unassuming and sits along a tree-lined portion of Falls road. I was greeted upon entering, and the staff was incredibly friendly. They somehow made a five minute experience feel like walking into a friend's house. I ordered a half rack of sauced ribs and a side of macaroni and cheese. The ribs were tender and the sauce was the perfect combination of smoky, tangy and sweet. I found it well balanced--complementing the meat without overpowering. The sheer quantity I received for $13 is astounding and was enough for 2 meals. The macaroni and cheese was softer than I prefer and somewhat bland. Like the ribs, the mac was served piping hot. I will be back for more ribs and to try the other grilled proteins--perhaps as a sandwich.

OK Jake's might be coming for Chap's. Stopped here for lunch on my way to a winery so I can have some bbq with my pinot and I was so glad my homegirl thought to do this!I got a whole rack of ribs, 2 sausages, and pit beef sandwich, mac and chees, chips and a drink and just barely cracked $40.sausages came with peppers and onions and throw on some tiger sauce I was in heave.Got the ribs with sauce on the side so i could see what they were hitting on and whew chile so good and tender I never ended up using the sauce. Pit beef was nice and mac and cheese was perfectly cheesy.this place is small so during colder months you might be taking your order to enjoy at home but everyone is there is super friendly, I left with carnations and a smile. Def stop into this place on your way to a winery because you'll be the fav when you bring for real food and everyone else brought charcuterie

Come for the ribs. Very affordable, no slack in flavor and tenderness and everyone who works here is very welcoming

Staff is always friendly and helpful and the food is off the hook good! Always stop here when I'm in the mood for pit beef.

OK so parking was a bit challenging...but man was the food worth it. Had the pit beef sammy with coleslaw. The condiments on hand are real fresh, the horseradish is the real deal. All the other meats are smoked and the ribs are amazeballs. Oh and my pit beef sammy was $8...there was at least $15 worth of amazi g beef on that sammy. In n out real fast. A few tables inside & a few picnic tables outside. Sorry no pics, i was very hungry!

My friend took me here for a quick bite because they thought the BBQ here was good. I don't disagree. The ambiance is pretty much what you see...a small side-of-the-road operation with a simple menu: BBQ and appropriate sides. The inside is small and has minimal seating howver, there are tables and seating along the parking lot outside. The weather was great and there were no bugs out yet so this made the perfect spot to eat.The service and ordering is straight forward...just go to the counter, see the menu , order and pay. The food is bagged and handed to you when it's ready. Simple and easy. We ordered a full rack of ribs with 2 sausages. Potato chips and drinks were also purchased. I like that the rack came cut as single bones - this made it easier to share and eat. The sausages come on a bun with grilled onion and bell pepper - you add your own sauce.Overall, it was a good meal. I would definitely consider dining here again or ordering takeout.

Some of the best barbecue I've had in a while! Great price for quality ribs! This was the perfect Father's Day dinner for my husband. The place was super busy so thankfully we ordered ahead. You can tell folks love the food by how crowded it was on a nice Sunday. Even thought the staff were incredibly busy, they were polite and attentive. We ordered ribs and coleslaw, wanted to try the Mac but it was sold out. Adults and children loved the ribs, they were absolutely delicious. The food was so good that I forgot to take pics! We ordered to-go but there is outside picnic table style seating. There is also indoor seating. Parking is VERY limited. I look forward to returning.

Been going to Jakes for years. Started back when it was shortys. I have never been dissapointed in the probably hundred times I've been there over the years. A lot of times I plan my route around stopping there for lunch.

Jake cooks great barbecue and pit beef. And His staff is very friendly His cafe is pretty basic so I was concerned about taking my wife with me. But surprise Jake gives a small bouquet of flowers whenever a lady comes to his establishment. Well worth the trip and try is turkey too
