What Gordon R doesn't like about Big Jakes Bbq:
I had a truly awful experience at this restaurant. If I could give it negative stars, I would. I have visited Old Tucson several times before, but yesterday was my first time trying Big Jakes. The meat was tough, inedible, and had disgusting flavors. It was like they took old meat, threw it in ashes, added sugar, and served it to people.

Big Jake's is the top choice for dining at Old Tucson. Their BBQ is exceptional. The impressive smoker located right outside the entrance is called Big Jake. If you happen to see a chef or cook by the smoker, don't hesitate to ask them to give you a peek inside to see what delicious food is being cooked. You'll definitely work up an appetite just by looking at it. View all feedback.

The beef brisket sandwich was pricy, but the meat was piled high and it was good tasting!

Better food than some of the other options around Old Tucson. BBQ food. Drink options are somewhat limited.

I tried the vegetarian barbeque sandwich, which is made with jackfruit, and it is really tasty. Many people apparently find it difficult to realize that what th...

I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. I ordered the Burnt Ends, which were extremely tough and almost impossible to eat. To make matters worse, ab...
