★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Milanovich · Feb 2026

Been waiting to try this place and it didn't disappoint! Its a focused menu on ribs and pulled pork with sides that compliment perfectly the smoked meats. We had pulled pork & pork ribs which come in large delicous portions with extra BBQ sauce & sides like Mac & Cheese, beans, & corn bread which wasn't too sweet and perfectly moist. You order at food truck outside then they bring you the meal inside. The restaurant has Western vintage theme with plenty of seating and windows/airy light feeling. Old vintage pin ball machine and fun feel. Loved it & will be back

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Steve Deck · Jan 2026

The beef rib is about 3/4 pound, smoked with rub, no BBQ sauce, and no sauce on the side. It was salty, very very salty. A little tough too. I really had to work to get some of that meat off the bone.

★★★★★ 5.0 Orest Baransky · Jan 2026

Skinny Jake’s serves incredibly delicious food that doesn’t cut corners! We had pulled pork with Mac & cheese and cornbread, and pork ribs with baked beans and cornbread. The meats were excellent, clearly prepared with expertise! The ribs were brimming with complex, smoky flavors and cooked to perfection. My friend said the Mac & cheese were the best she’s ever had, and clearly homemade with TLC. We couldn’t believe the cornbread! Absolutely delicious, creamy, sweet, with actual moist corn kernels in it, almost a ‘spoon bread’ consistency. Clearly made from scratch with love. As beautiful to look at as it was to eat! It was inhaled quickly. And the baked beans were superb! I couldn’t stop eating them even before getting into my ribs. Lots of flavorful bacon chunks, and just perfectly seaso
