Apparently Big Jake's is under new ownership, so we decided to check it out today for lunch…read more Honestly, I wasn't all that impressed. I had the 3-meat plate, and for $19.99 I thought the portions were kinda small, to be honest. The sausage definitely wasn't house-made; it tasted like Hillshire Farm sausage to tell the truth. The pulled pork and brisket were OK. Strangely my brisket was moist and juicy but my wife's was dry. The sides were extremely disappointing - the potato salad and coleslaw were obviously Sysco or similar. The mac and cheese was pretty solid, beans were mediocre. Their sauce wasn't very good either, tasted like generic commercialized sauce. On a positive note, they did have Barq's Red Creme soda as a fountain option. I heard some folks talking about the pork chops on Thursday that are supposedly really good so maybe I'll come back to they them sometime.

It is the type of restaurant where you order at the counter, they give you a table number and then drop off your food when it's ready. There is indoor seating at tables and a well stocked full bar. Outside seating is also available. We chose inside, in hindsight sight it was a beautiful day and we should have sat outside to avoid smelling like a smokehouse when we left. Our food was very good. I ordered the smoke house salad with smoked turkey and raspberry dressing. My husband ordered the smoked 1/2 chicken with baked beans and potato salad. The salad was very generous and the turkey was moist and delicious. The raspberry dressing was a little too sweet but still good. The chicken thigh was very moist and as would be expected the breast was not as moist. Still good but a little drier. My husband tasted my turkey and said he would make a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving if he could the breast meat as moist as Mike's! All in all a good experience. There is a pretty extensive offering of beers and a very limited wine offering.
