Jake's Smokehouse Southwest BBQ — Restaurant in Adrian

Everything was phenomenal, from the second we walked in! First of all, we were greeted in such a warm and friendly way that it felt like we were old friends and routine customers -even though we just happened to see the restaurant as we drove by, and thought we’d give it a try! Everything was extremely clean, with a welcoming color scheme and decor that made us feel like we could kick back, relax and savor the variety of items their menu offered! Everything we tried was absolute delicious - from the generous side dishes to the melt in your mouth, slow cooked meats!!!! It was evident that the owners (Sue & Tom, along with their daughter) take pride in their restaurant, with obvious attention to detail, along with the way they go above and beyond to offer everyone who walks through the door a personalized, superior dining experience!!! It’s really nice when you meet business owners who truly value their customers and work so hard to deliver the highest quality in both food and service!!! Needless to say, every time we return to Adrian, we will make it a point to stop in for a mouthwatering meal and to say “hi!” to our ‘old’ friends!!! Thank you very much - and our sincere wishes for continued...

What a great experience! My wife and I pulled into the drive-thru right at closing time for our first visit. We hated being "that customer" that keeps someone late. When we mentioned it was our first visit, we were asked to pull up to the window and were presented a wonderful sampler plate and told about how the different meats were prepared. We loved our meals! The brisket was decadent and moist and cut with a spoon. The zippy slaw was a good contrast to the rich meat. My wife loved her pulled pork meal. We both had tender roast baby potatoes and ended up with enough food for lunch the next day. We tried to tip, but they wouldn't accept it. What a breath of fresh air to have such nice folks help us find a wonderful meal. Make sure you support your local restaurants and businesses, so they're there for you. Thanks...

The worst BBQ I have ever had. Firstly it’s way over priced for what it is. The Mac n Cheese looked and tasted like it was Kraft boxed Mac n cheese, not homemade. Cornbread also tasted from a box and was not moist, was dry and kind of hard. The pulled pork was soggy and tasted like it had just been soaking in liquid. Brisket was dry and one piece had more fat than brisket but it wasn’t edible because it tasted so bland. It needed more of that smokey flavor you crave when you get BBQ. They didn’t even have their own BBQ sauce but it was also the only thing that made the meat edible.

Not to mention the place has a drive through which is kind of peculiar…they should really focus on improving their food instead of manning a drive through window.

I won’t be back, there’s a better BBQ place further...
