    Excellent Brisket

    Arrived around 8:45pm - near closing time. Elizabeth was great! Great service with a smile and happy to serve even that close to closing time! The beef brisket was fabulous! And the chicken BBQ was just as awesome!

    Great BBQ

    My husband I go here quite often and I would consider myself a picky eater. They also accommodate and crazy requests I have and they're always fast! Delicious food! Favorite items are: Fried Pimento Cheese, BBQ Plate, and Jakes 1/4 Pound Dog!

    No regrets whatsoever - will definitely return.

    Expectations. As a native Texan, I consider myself somewhat spoiled/jaded when it comes to BBQ. Smokin' Jakes did not disappoint me. I would recommend it to anyone and will definitely patronize this restaurant when I return to South Boston. Location. The restaurant is easy to...More
