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.

The swarm pulled boar sandwich with fries and a cold beer. the meal was fantastic! it was adjusted by the service as the personal was excellent. I hope I will soon get another visit and try some menu items. I also saw a poster saying that they have a full bar now.
Love BBQ so we thought we would try this little place. We ordered a BBQ plate and a salmon dinner. Both were very good dinners. Would definitely eat hear again
I liked and respected how they wanted you to wear a mask up until you were actually eating/drinking. I felt safe and socially distanced. It was good to return to the home of the Monster Tater. I highly recommend this place.

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.
The food was served quickly, and our waitress was extremely kind and attentive. The dishes were delicious, and the restaurant had a wonderful ambiance. Overall, I’d rate the food, service, and atmosphere all as 5 out of 5.

We both ordered The Pig, which is a pulled pork sandwich, and we shared a side of homemade chips and fries. The sandwich came on a soft, fluffy bun, and the pork was juicy and tender, complemented by a rich, sweet, and smoky BBQ sauce. The homemade chips were crispy and not greasy, though they lacked flavor on their own; however, they were fantastic when dipped in the BBQ sauce. The fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked, requiring nothing extra, but I couldn't resist dipping mine in the BBQ sauce, which really enhanced their flavor. For dessert, we tried the banana pie and the brownie à la mode. The banana pie reminded me of banana Laffy Taffy, so if that flavor isn't your favorite, you might want to skip it. The brownie, on the other hand, was warm and flavorful, and it was our favorite of the two desserts. If you're on the hunt for a great BBQ place that offers fast service, friendly staff, and a clean environment, this spot is definitely worth a visit.
I recently visited Grumpy Jake's for the first time, and I was not disappointed. We ordered the chicken fried steak and the meatloaf. The chicken fried steak was enormous, completely covering the plate, perfectly cooked, and generously topped with delicious gravy. The meatloaf was also excellent, smothered in brown gravy that tasted homemade. We also tried the garlic mashed potatoes, which were fantastic. The mac and cheese was decent but reminded me a bit of Kraft Deluxe with some extra cheese added; it didn’t have that homemade feel but was still tasty. The coleslaw had a nice flavor, but it was chopped very fine, so it lacked some texture. The cornbread was moist and flavorful. They have a display of pies at the entrance that looked amazing, but I was way too full to try one—perhaps next time. Overall, it was a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient, and the restaurant's atmosphere felt comfortable and welcoming. We definitely plan to return.
