As a cook myself i understand what goes into this. I got to 2 meat plate. Sliced brisket and sausage. I got 3 of the smallest slices of brisket. All clearly from the same end. Other than that being disappointing it was good. Maybe they didn't know the coke was out. No way they could've known that the bottle ones were flat. I did not complain. I do plan on going again and am sure it'll get better.

Went for lunch, was immediately greeted with warm smiles and the wonderful aroma of smoked meats. Food for our party of four came out quick and tasted delicious. Six shooter sauce slapped... Hard. Pork belly burnt ends were incredible.

The lady was fast and quick with my food. The meat was just what I was looking for well season and juicy good flavor. However the sides was horrible. The dirty rice was dry and the green beans had something that overpower the taste can’t explain it but I didn’t like the sides at all.

Went here during lunch. It is very popular among local plant workers. I paid about $20 for a plate with 2 meats and 2 sides. The pulled pork was decent. The brisket, was way too dry and left a lot to be desired. The portion sizes were somewhat small, but I attached a picture so you can be your own judge. There are two different BBQ sauces available l, Original and Six Shooter. Six Shooter is a spicy BBQ sauce. Authentic BBQ choices in the area are scarce, so hit them up if that’s what you are looking for, maybe the brisket will be better when you go.

First time over at St. Gabriel's Big Jakes BBQ! Great place at a great location because our beloved plant workers love their BBQ.
I got the chopped brisket sandwich with 2 sides($17.50 - a little steep).
The meat was perfectly cooked in my opinion. The bread was carefully detailed with a great consistency. I was disappointed that they were out of baked beans. They saved themselves with their potato salad. AMAZING. Customer service was great and the atmosphere was pretty fitting. Will definitely be coming back to try their sausage and ribs and BANANA PUDDING!
7.5/10.

Had the chance to experience an awesome BBQ plate from BIG JAKE'S BBQ!
Was working traveling to Saint Gabriel, La in the Big Rig delivering a load and after leaving the refinery saw a sign that said BBQ 2 blocks down on the right. It was the best 2 blocks down on the right decision I made on today!
If you are ever in the area stop by BIG JAKE'S BBQ the food is delicious, potato salad so good and brisket so tender and seasoned!
Thanks Spike Graham for your hospitality!!

To be this good is only possible when the cooks passion and love for serving others is included in the recipe. So I asked Spike the new owner and he confirmed. Everything is original, made from scratch there even the sides. To find that these days is to find a culinary treasure. Thanks for all that extra work and time you put in to every detail sir ?
