Not much to say, delivery takes too long and food is OK

The food took an hour and a half- two hours, and when it arrived it was clearly something that had been sitting in the walk in for days and then reheated. Inedible. The creamed corn was gray. It cost $70 to boot.

Great take out. So much food! Love the ribs. Delivery can take some time but worth the wait.

we had high hopes, but this is pretty bad bbq. bland runny sauce. soggy undercooked fries. tough meat. on the good side, the portions are huge and the cole slaw was good. basically it's exactly like school lunch food- nothing fresh. oh well.

This place is horrible. Chicken was over cooked. The ribs were tough. Their bbq sauce not tasty at all. There are so many other great bbq joints in the city, dont waste your time here.

I have been ordering from this place for a while now and will keep on doing so because this is just the kind of 'buffet style' food you find in the south and midwest - where I am from. It's just ok but satisfies a craving. The only complaints I have are: the food almost always arrives cold and they never give you the condiments you request. I've probably ordered from here a dozen times over the years and have maybe gotten 3 or 4 hot meals. Not a huge deal to me as it is delivery from Red Hook all the way to me. But for a BBQ joint they always give you a ridiculous amount of BBQ sauce! Like, a 2-4 oz container for a huge portion of chicken or pork and cornbread. I always ask for extra and even offer to pay for a small container and they always say "ok" but NEVER send it. Never. I will keep on getting this grub but hope the manager sees this and steps up the condiment game. You must send extra BBQ.

We love Barbeque and are psyched to have a good BBQ place in the neighborhood. Their staple BBQ chicken is almost always great. Their BBQ sauce is so good. However this place falls just short of being great ... stick to the basics - chicken, ribs and buffalo wings - and you'll be very satisfied. The somewhat gelatinous hamburgers and their oversize kaiser buns are a big letdown. The half roasted chicken feeds 2 of us, and is a great value. The sides that come with every meal are good - mashed potatoes are our favorite. An example of the unevenness of Jakes: the Chili. What is going on there? It's really disappointing; huge chunks of pork, too much cheese, not enough beans and slathered in what tastes like tomato paste. Overall, the simple fact that you can have a BBQ meal at your coffee table, makes Jakes something to be grateful for. You might not want to take a date here, though.
