“ 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!! ”
