Alright, second visit to Jake & Rip's and we had better food this time. Potato skins - yummy. Chicken tenders - really good. Great service and food brought out fast. read more

Easy access off the highway, looks small from the outside and mildly delapidated. But inside it is open, huge, and uniquely decorated with hanging plants, animal heads and lots of hanging Xmas style lights. Staff is very friendly and was pretty quick on our visit(thankyou Dawn!!). Food is good southern fare, crowder peas and fresh fried okra were on the special board this visit. Pulled pork was great, not too smoky and with just a dab of sauce served on top and extra on the table for those who want it. The sauce is Memphis style, sweet and a little thick. All the sides were good; good onion flavor and pork in the baked beans, coleslaw was fresh and refreshing, okra tasted fresh picked. Wrap it up with good iced tea and we came out with tip at just $20. A great deal for a very tasty and satisfying lunch. read more

We live about 40 miles from here and had been here once before many months ago, so we hunted for it today. Now we'll remember the name! It was worth it because the seafood and bbq were excellent-- especially onion rings! We like the bbq/bar decor, too. Nice family place though. Popular local place-- they were busy at lunch but good service. We're taking enough food home for another meal. read more

My family of five ate at this restaurant and will NEVER go back. I would give it 0 stars if possible. The food was very lackluster!!! The chips with the pulled pork were soggy. The fried catfish had absolutely no seasoning. I take that back, the fish did have a "old grease" flavor. We ordered a kid's burger for our 9 year old son. When it came time to check out we were charged 14.99 for his burger meal instead of 6.99. When we brought this to our waitress's attention, a snooty lady (from the bar) came to our table to say, "For future reference you need to clarify a kids burger because the waitress would have written it down if you had." Nevermind the fact that I pointed to the menu at the KIDS section while ordering. When we paid our bill she felt the need to say, "I don't want the server to think she did anything wrong when she didn't. If you'd said a kid's burger she would have written it down." At this point it doesn't take a genius to understand she was implying the mixup was our fault. When did it become acceptable to blame the customer instead of gracefully saying, "Sorry about the mix up and we will make the necessary adjustment?" read more

We are here today after going to Spencer's for lunch and they had no place to sit so...My son had beef tips, my daughter had the Phillip cheese steak, my wife had the shrimp and catfish combo (maybe the best catfish I've ever eaten) and I had the brisket sandwich. Service was great, we all loved our meals. Almost 5 stars but the brisket needed more smoke. Maybe a 4 +++. read more

Y'all hoes disgust me the corn taste like water the ribs are hard and the service is mean stop it

Five of us went in for dinner at 9:00 on a Saturday and were immediately seated. We ordered BBQ plates and a burger. We enjoyed everything and the service by Symone was very good. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE. asked 2 different people for napkins. i had to go to the front snd get loud to get. baked beans and corn was cold. we finished our meals and still havent gotten our sides. even after we got the sides.....finally, the least she could have done was take our empty plates, NOPE. save yourself the trouble, go somewhere else. read more

A big 0 on stars. They seated us said we cant sit where we wanted and the waitress was rude. I had plenty of cheese plates in my 60yrs and their cheese plates was the worst I ever had. they are over price food came out cold at 97degrees on the pork they put it in microwave I checked it again it was 119. (I have my own food thermos gun) I ask to see the manager. She said it was hot but would reheat it again. I told her she could keep it. She said fine but since I touch the food so she will still charge me for it. So I guess the health dept, allows them to give food to guest and put it back in the kitchen for the next guest to eat if you don't touch it. WHATEVER! I lost my appetite and took it with me since they charge for unhappy customer who didn't eat. Glad I don't live here. read more

Service was good and food good first time...second time service was absolutely horrible. When we walked in, four servers walked by our group without saying anything. When we finally got seated, the Waitresses sitting around and ours wouldn't come back to our table unless we specialize asked read more

We've eaten here several times on our way to and from New Orleans (we live in IL) and it's always delicious. You have to go knowing that is a southern BBQ restaurant and they are not on northern time! But the food is good, the beer is cold and the sweet tea is just like my grandma used to make. Try it--you won't be disappointed. read more

Disappointed military discount isn't honored located in same town as Camp McCain. The food is great and atmosphere too.

Stood for a while then managed to grab a seat at the bar I was wanting to get a to go meal. Gave up after I was slide a menu at forgotten about, I even tried to call in an order as I sat Iwas left on hold, and accidently ended up at the restaurant next door that I thought was apart of them lol! One star for me ending up next door. read more

I have eaten here several times in the last year. Tonight was the worst meals my husband and I have ever ordered. He had the buttery shrimp and baked potato. The shrimp was over cooked and salty the potato was burnt. I had the beef brisket it was very dry and just flat out nasty. We had a 50.00 bill for the worst meal we've ever eaten here. Maybe Tuesday is not the night to eat at Jake and Rips. read more

Worst dining experience ever. Traveled over an hour for lunch. Have been here before and liked so decided to return. Ordered the BBQ Plate. Which was okay..I ate the baked potato and 2 of the 3 ribs included. The chicken quarter tasted terrible and I kept smelling a sour smell. It was the pulled pork and it smelled tainted and made me literally gag. I informed my server and she apologized and agreed that it did indeed smell bad. She asked if there was something else she could get me and I said No, thank you, just please take this off my bill it is inedible. Well, 20 minutes later the bartender came over and informed me that they would not be able to take it off the bill. I politely told her that I was not paying for something that was inedible, she called the manager that took another 15 minutes to come to table. She was rude and would NOT listen to the complaint, she simply stated that there was NO way the food was bad and she was not taking it off the bill. Then she told me if I didn't pay for the BBQ plate, (rotten food) that she would call the police... AND SHE DID! Appalled. read more

I was visiting from Georgia and me and my girlfriends went here to eat. We were seated in the "back of the bus" section of the restaurant and our service was absolutely horrible. When our food finally came out, it was cold and under-cooked. When we asked for help, the waitress got an even worse attitude. Finally, we requested to have our money back and she flat out refused. I told her I wanted to speak to the manager about how she treated us. Lo and behold, the manager was a complete jerk!!! She treated us like the scum on the bottom of her shoe. I would never go back there if it was the last restaurant in the entire state of Mississippi!! From the managers to the servers, to the food, this was an all around CATASTROPHE of a girls night out!! P.S. would have given it less than 1 star if it had the option! read more

We read the reviews and took the chance anyway. I'm glad we did. Pulled pork & homemade chips were A+. Good Food & Good Service, right off of the interstate! read more

Fabulous service. Having been diagnosed gluten intolerant fairly recently I was thrilled with how knowledgeable the manager was and how careful our waitress Jessica was. Thank you all fir taking care of us! read more

We waited 35 minutes for chicken fingers and BBQ sandwiches and then when we got them they were cold. Waitress had an attitude and brought us more food but she actually brought us the same fries!!!! This place is horrible on service and food. We will never go back!!!! read more

Food was ok. Went there on a Sunday and they were out of about everything; BBQ, pulled pork, etc. Service wasn't that good. Limited selection of beer. Long wait. Sign on door said no smoking but 3 different tables were smoking. Told staff and they did nothing. There IS a city ordinance against public smoking. Obviously not enforced! read more

Jake and Rip's was busy and looked like it was probably a great little dive BBQ place. I mean, the parking lot wasn't even paved, so they must be good, right? Wrong. The parking lot wasn't paved because they suck at being a restaurant and probably don't make enough money to pave it. It is a terrible sign at a BBQ joint when you ask the waitress what the best thing on the menu is and her response is that "the steaks are always good." It is also a terrible sign when there is a note in the menu that your food is supposed to look undercooked. I got the pulled pork plate, and while I understand that slow smoked pulled pork might be a little pink, there shouldn't be the sort of gelatinous blobs of fat in it that would melt at relatively low temperatures if you were actually to expose the meat to some heat. I also shouldn't have to use my knife to eat pulled pork. But I guess for undercooked, almost shredded pork it wasn't too bad. Some good stuff: the fried green tomatoes were good. My wife's catfish po'boy had some well-fried catfish in it, but not nearly enough for the size of the bun. Cole slaw was also conspicuously absent from the thing. So, they can indeed fry things. Another bad thing: a girl at a table near us had undercooked ribs and wouldn't eat them. They said that's just how they make ribs, and offered to replace them with some more fish if she wanted. Otherwise she could just not eat them and they'd take them off the bill. At restaurants that can afford to pave their parking lots, however, the restaurant typically doesn't just stand behind its inedible food. It fixes it or comps something beyond not making you pay for the inedible stuff. Oh, and one more: they got a B from the state health inspectors. I don't want to know what you have to do in Mississippi of all places to fail to get an A on a health inspection. read more

The food is OK. Same stuff right off the truck, that don't make anything themselfs. Nice people, always packed. Just don't look up the dust is quite bad. read more

This is one of these places that seems packed in Grenada and I do not get the charm. First of all, it takes forever to get your drinks or your food. Its that way even when it is not busy. The waitresses never seem to get your food right...more time. The BBQ is dry and not that great. The catfish platter is small for what you pay...catfish nuggets, not fillets. Getting refills is a pain. I am usually ready to hurry up and get out of there by the time we are done...Its not the cleanest place either....Unless you are a native Grenada person, you will hate this place. read more

Extremely rude young ladies working at this restaurant. Food is OK not great but the service and the attitudes are horrible. I would not suggest this restaurant to anyone. read more

I have ambivalent feelings toward Jake & Rips. It is most definitely a dive sort of place. The food is mostly mediocre, the service is usually awful, but I guess if you're looking to sit in a dark room and stare at taxidermied animals, this is your place. Of Grenada's few options, this is an okay restaurant. Not good, not bad. read more

We stopped at Jake and Rips because it was along our route and we had read decent reviews. We had high hopes for the food as we love good BBQ and it is always fun to try the many different regional types. We were on the back stretch of an 11 state, 9 day "food tour" and were determined to have BBQ in MS. The food was decent, way better than some and we thought the pulled pork was outstanding! What makes this review a 5 star one was the service!! The staff was friendly when we arrived and the service was prompt. The food came out quickly and we were able to eat and get back on the road in record time. About 3 hours after we left( and a few states away) my phone rang and it was Blair from Jake and Rips. My son had left his phone in our booth. I was not about to turn around to go and retrieve it as I was tired and we still had a long drive ahead of us. I asked her to mail it, not really expecting her too, and she said she would. I assured my son, that they would send it, but thought we would never see it again. Much to my surprise 3 days after we got home, it arrived in the mail!! I am so touched that they went to the trouble and expense of mailing it to us. When we are in the area again, we will definitely be back!!! :) read more

We were traveling back from Vicksburg to Mobile, AL when we randomly stumbled upon this place. And let me say... we ordered the BBQ chips appetizer and is was HUGE. My fiance and I split it and couldn't even eat all of it. It was probably the best BBQ food I have ever had. We've seriously contemplated driving all the way back to Grenada again just to have it... so you know it must be good! The prices are great as well and you get more than enough for your money. The bread pudding dessert was also delicious! I highly recommend trying this place if your driving anywhere even remotely close to Grenada :) read more

Jake & Rip's - Barbeque Near Me - Grenada, Mississippi

Would have been a five if the orders had been correct. If you can't even remember the drink order from the table to the drink station directly behind the table, you should probably write things down. Wrong entrees for 2 of 3 people still tasted very good. Also not negative, just a fact: no kids' boosters or high chairs so bring your own. read more

I love coming here for a good meal and a drink with my friends. The atmosphere is very laid back. There is a gas station right beside this restaurant and sometimes when I'm pumping gas the smell of the bbq drifts over to my nose and I have to go over to eat right away! The gulf shrimp is great, so are all their bbq dishes. I usually get the onion blossom as an appetizer. read more

Service is horrible! Waited forever on a Sunday afternoon when they weren't busy. Food came out cold and wrong several times. Salads after meals, never got condiments we asked for. Food was so so, and way overpriced for what you get. $13 for brisket and you get 3 thin pieces. Just pass this one by, or throw your money out the window as you drive by. Would be more satisfying. read more

I was really disappointed with the service we had to wait a long time to be seated and waited over 10 minutes before the before the waitress brought us any drinks we left before she bought the drinks to go somewhere else it was absolutely awful all the reviews on here are completely accurate about how terrible these waitresses are none of them care to give you any attention at all read more

This is second time to eat here and it was great both times. I had the catfish po-boy the first time - really good, but tried pulled pork salad this time - excellent! Meat was very tender, lean and great tasting. Just the right amount of smoke. I usually avoid salad at most restaurants because of preservatives, but I didn't taste it on this one. Parking lot was packed but I was seated right away. We'll worth stopping here ! read more

Very limited options passing through this town. We choose this based on proximity to the Hampton we were staying at. Needless to say the food was less than exciting and came out in waves. The service is meh at best and not the cleanest of places. Two stars cause they had a bar and IPA in stock. Food wise, fast food would taste better. read more

Love this place. Always stop there for a BBQ platter when going up to the Memphis airport.

At first sight I seen Beautiful fried shrimp on my plate, upon biting into it my mouth was was filled with fecal matter. They do not devein d shrimp when I say disgusting. I mean disgusting I had to cut open d shrimp and devein them myself. Never again will I return hope dis review helps u to not have s**t in your mouth read more

Great place for ribs and steaks. Very casual atmosphere and terrific staff. If you live in the area this is a good place for regular dining.

So today I was driving from Taylorsville Mississippi up to Oxford Mississippi. As we were driving ha ha we got hungry and stopped in the town of Granada Mississippi and we stopped at this place Jake and rips I was really looking forward to getting some catfish but the barbecue also smelled good. So I ordered a combination plate of barbecue and catfish and I will say it was absolutely delicious this place is not far from the highway and I would highly recommend that anyone traveling either check or an eight hour pass there stop by and enjoy a really good meal also prices were fair and reasonable. read more

The catfish was so fishy tasting my husband & I could not eat it, the onion rings were cold, the service was poor. Even the second round of fish was not edible. Will not eat here again if in the area. read more

I think Jake & Rips provides the best ribs, pulled pork & catfish along I55 in the nation. Flavorful, cooked just right and well accompanied, it's just right for a good lunch or supper. Their iced tea rocks, their bar is generous and the wait staff is second to none. Also, hushpuppies come at varied as the folks who make these. These are puffy, full of flavor and golden brown... the best. read more

Not impressed at all. We ordered coconut shrimp and the sauce tasted like just pureed pineapples. The bacon wrapped filet was tough like sirloin or shoe leather. The folks were nice but that's about the extent of it. I wouldn't recommend at all. Sorry. Guess that's what I should expect from rednecks. read more
