Tom is a stand up guy. Personable, and informative. I walked in with a Bostonian "Hey, ahh, what's the deal with this that and the other thing?" Kind of questioning and he gave me the answers I was looking for. Gave me a big fat bowl of pulled pork and rice to boot. It was worth every penny and I'll likely make it a regular stop. Good people, good food, no complaints.

The nicest gentleman was working there. He was making everything to order. He was also very quick at getting your food even with a large amount of people ordering. His BBQ was amazing. Well seasoned and juicy tender and moist, with a good smokey flavor. The meat was falling off the bone, no exaggeration. His whole operation is local, friendly, and amazing quality BBQ. Definitely worth the trip. Limited seating and parking. Also gets very busy around lunchtime.

Best BBQ I have ever had! Food was extremely tender, fall off the bone kine! Would recommend to everyone 10/10! Service was amazing also!

Ordered brisket and ribs! This place was amazing and a hit with the people on our trip who didn’t want to eat Poke next door. (And they’re from the South, so that’s saying a lot!) Fast service. Shares a patio with the Poke place, so we all ate what we wanted and it was perfect!

Big Jake's Island B-B-Q is smokin' good times and finger-lickin' flavors! ??? I chowed down on a combo plate that had me doing a happy BBQ dance. The sausage and ribs are so amazing, they could turn a vegetarian into a carnivore! ?? And guess what's on the BBQ buddy list? The neighboring poke shop! ?? So whether your taste buds scream "surf" or "turf," this dynamic duo has your cravings covered. It's like a culinary crossover episode, and you're the star! ⭐??️

Bbq on one side and poke on the other, the bbq was great, sauce was Carolina style to me, ribs and chicken both cooked to perfection

Food is good, got todays lunch special. Half rack ribs, bbq chicken and sausage. Ribs were a little dry but dip it into the bbq sauce. Yum. Sausage has a good spice to it. Service was easy, order at the window and pick up when ready.

Great ribs with wonderful BBQ sauce! The sides are great too. Seems to be a one man shop when we were there. It takes a while during the lunch rush, but it is worth every minute! Yum!

Went to Big Jakes for lunch, so good, the baby backs were fall off the bone tender, beautiful pink smoke ring and nice outer char. My tongue was beating up my lips just to taste um. The baked beans and slaw were very good as well. Delightfully the smoke flavor lingers on the taste buds a long time. Mahalo to the pitmaster.Vegetarian options: Its a BBQ joint, get outta here vegansWheelchair accessibility: accessable
