What Isobel Olson dislikes about Grumpy Jake's:
Nothing like it was four years ago when I last visited. I guess the smoker out front is just for decoration since both the pulled pork and the brisket had no flavor without drowning them in sauce. Then, we presented a 10 off coupon. I guess they are math challenged as well the 24.98 pre tax total was discounted only 2.00. Nope, we are here all week and will not be back to Jake's.

I absolutely love the pulled pork, as always! For my meal, I opted for takeout during lunch. The price per person was between $20 and $30. I would rate the food a perfect 5, as well as the service and atmosphere, both also receiving 5 stars. I highly recommend the pulled pork. Additionally, there’s plenty of parking available, with a free parking lot option.
