Jake & Rip's

My experience was five stars. We've come here only a couple times while visiting my Dad, we live in California. And we've always been treated well and the food/drinks were always tasty. Time for a review! Food here and atmosphere is a BBQ/sports bar feel. Come through you won't be disappointed.

Another one of those hometown faves I don't ever think to review. This local place has made very few changes over the years, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. The service is usually great, the drinks are decent, & the food is awesome. The loaded potato, burger, & salad (yes the salad) are reaaally good. Went with the chicken Philly this time just to switch things up & it was excellent. The fried mushrooms are a must, & my companion enjoyed their hamburger steak which was requested with no gravy. Only complaint was I wasn't fond of the onion rings, but my granny had no issues polishing them off they also have hot & fast lunch specials during the week.

What a gem in a sea of the Central Mississippi ocean. I've driven through here several times now and this is THEE place to stop. Let's go thru what a good stop consists of for a sports fan whose looking for a varied menu.First the negative.... No draft beer, no whole bottled wine, 2 TV's at the bar.Ok, we move on. I ordered the blackened chicken salad. I'm going to say it.... there was ALMOST too much chicken in it! Yeah I said it. I am stuffed on this kitchen sink of a salad. Romaine under a mass of perfectly blackened chick, tomatoes, cheddar, crutes and I'm thinking some bacon?Anyhoo I previously had their beef tips, De-Lish! Great tunes for a 58 year old playing throughout. Great bartenders, totally chill bar, and that varied menu mentioned earlier is a big fat yes.When you're in central MS you gotta stop here. Open 'til 10 pm is a plus too. I always meet nice peeps here and the value is top notch.Check out my salad......

We live outta town (Jackson and Oxford), but my mom and I always eat here after we meet for a long day of biking Grenada Lake (Hugh White State Park) so we work up quite an appetite and lemme tell ya the bbq is delicious! The sauce especially makes it. The sausage & cheese plate is also yummy for sure. Very casual laidback atmosphere and we have always had great service- we've sat at both tables & the bar.

If you haven't been to Jake & Rips lately you really should. We used to go in (before remodel) and always say we wouldn't go back. Then we would forget and go back lol. We went tonight and it was the best food I have out in a while. The wait staff was great too. Jessica was our waitress and she was awesome. Even had several others walk by and ask if we needed anything. Without a doubt we will be back now without hesitation.

I spent a fun Friday night here on a quick trip to Grenada. The bar was full, so I sat nearby at a table to myself. I was able to get a beer as soon as I sat down, so that's cool. I ordered the fried green tomatoes and they were the best I've ever had. Perfectly fried, yummy sauce (of which I needed a 2nd order!). I also had a pulled pork sandwich and it was nothing special. The meat was a bit dry and having a super thick bun made it even worse. My service was outstanding and there a few local beers, but not many. They had nothing on tap, only bottles and cans. As others have mentioned, the parking is pretty terrible, but I survived. In some towns, this place might struggle, but I expect it's the very best of this type in Grenada and certainly more fun than a national-chain-type place.

Was hoping for a larger BBQ menu. Ordered the ribs, they were ok. Ordered the pork plate...tasted so wild and dry. We had to ask for bbq sauce. Our waitress was so bored. Not one smile or happiness. She should have stayed home. Another waitress was happy, smiling and very pleasant. The parking was scary. Had to park in the back with a shady broken down truck. To leave you have to drive down a one way ally. I was freaking someone would be coming head on!!Overall may have ordered the wrong food. Just passing through so won't be back.

I highly recommend Jake and Rips. I can be very critical when it comes to food but this place was very good. I had the catfish which I will say was not the best I have ever eaten but it was above average, the onion rings were among the best I've ever had as well as the fired green tomatoes. My wife got the fired shrimp and they were very good (as good as you will get without being near the coast). My son had the ribs and the were good as well. Saved the best for last. My father in law got the grilled pork chop, and after seeing it I had to get a bit and it was probly the best I've ever had, tender and moist. I will be back and I will get the grilled pork chop with onion ringsWe came back and got the Philly cheese steak and shrimp poboy, shrimp was really good and Phillycheese steak was probably best I've ever had.

While traveling through we stopped at Jake and Rip's without reading the reviews. So glad we did! Our server was sweet and friendly. They had a decent selection of wines and they were priced right...Bonus, served in a real wine glass! We shared the 16oz pork chop with a loaded baked potato and a side salad. I didn't get a pic of the salad, but it was fresh greens with cheese, bacon, tomatoes and croutons in a chilled bowl. The pork chop was juicy and flavorful. The potato was hot and fresh. After seeing a pic of the onion rings I wish we'd also ordered those. Summary, ignore the old reviews, it was a nice atmosphere, clean and great service. If ever passing through again, we'll stop here. (P.s. our hotel clerk said the Southwest Chicken is the bomb!)

Service was a little slow but the food was great! I believe I had the best hamburger I have ever tasted and the onion rings were delicious!
