Big Jake’s Island B-B-Q is smokin’ good times and finger-lickin’ flavors! I chowed down on a combo plate that had me doing a happy BBQ dance. The sausage and ribs are so amazing, they could turn a vegetarian into a carnivore! And guess what’s on the BBQ buddy list? The neighboring poke shop! So whether your taste buds scream “surf” or “turf,” this dynamic duo has your cravings covered. It’s like a culinary crossover episode, and you’re the star! ⭐ ️

Great ribs with wonderful BBQ sauce! The sides are great too. Seems to be a one man shop when we were there. It takes a while during the lunch rush, but it is worth every minute! Yum!

Went to Big Jakes for lunch, so good, the baby backs were fall off the bone tender, beautiful pink smoke ring and nice outer char. My tongue was beating up my lips just to taste um. The baked beans and slaw were very good as well. Delightfully the smoke flavor lingers on the taste buds a long time. Mahalo to the pitmaster.

Great brisket and baked beans. The wood he uses definitely gives it a different flavor than you find on the mainland. We got some chicken and a tub of beans to go for dinner later. Definitely worth the stop

Some real deal BBQ – smoked with Kiawe. Got the mixed plate and a pulled pork sandwich. Sweet sauce is balanced and perfect I’m the pulled pork and smoked sausage. Will be back next month when Jake gets back.

Tri tip was fantastic!! The chicken was also very tender and the pulled pork was tasty but a tad bit dry. The chef has won numerous awards for his BBQ and you can tell he’s quite passionate about it. Great value for great food in a very homie atmosphere.

I gotta say, this is some authentic down home BBQ. If you’re just visiting or need a regular BBQ fix, this place has got you covered. Not too Smokey, not too sweet. Just right. The spicy sausage is no joke. Overall, 5 stars. There was something for everyone in the family.

Delicious food and friendly roosters and chickens! Great little spot to eat and relax, good for kids, too. The BBQ drew us in from the road after snorkeling at the beach. It was very yummy and the staff were friendly and fun. Highly recommend!
