We had such a great meal! The staff were all super friendly and food was so delicious! I regret now not taking a photo of our food to be able to remember it and to show it off to everyone (so we’ll just have to go back I guess haha).
We got the Big Brown, burnt ends, jacket potatoes (they were a special) and corn. Everything but the bread is homemade and omg the bacon will be the best you’ll ever taste! Order extra bacon, you won’t be disappointed! The burger was a very decent serving size, juicy and delicious - what more do you want? And the crispy bits of the burnt ends were to die for.
We’ll be back! And will definitely be recommending this place to others. Zomato Gold was also a nice perk, we wouldn’t have found this place otherwise!
Thank you Joe for your hospitality. Great food, we made platter and tried some briskets and cauli. Mind blowing flavour and great presentation.
Will visit again to try more dishes.
Plus lemonade was delicious.
Excellent food, good service, great value. Looking forward to spending my summer having beers and brisket at Smokey Jakes

These guys are amazing! Really not sure about the bad reviews. I had an amazing experience and photos to back that experience up 👌🏽 meats were all made to absolute perfection and tasty! Serving sizes were on point as well as the value for money! I'll definitely be back 👍🏽 the Beef rib was absolutely gorgeous!

Great local place, friendly staff, food was fantastic, bar upstairs a nice cosy spot and the beer garden will be a ripper come summer. Jake’s a lovely bloke too. Good job guys.
It's great having such a great bbq place in the neighborhood. While the service could improve, the food is always great! Best thing is their outdoor yard which our dog really enjoys! Worth the visit.
We had a long lunch in the sunny beer garden. Top notch smoked meats, we had the hogget sandwich and the ribs. Both awesome, and super smokey. Great local craft beer selection too. Good vegie accompaniments too, so it didn't end up being sooo meat heavy.
Wow! Finally real American ‘Q in Melbourne!
I cannot wait for them to open in the evenings. Try the pastrami sandwich - house-made of course ( Little Rascal)!
Really exciting menu, lots of dishes to try, big selection of meats and it's all smoked on-site. Everything was very authentic, no-frills style food. Some dishes lacked a real punchy flavour, mostly in the condiments and accompaniments but all the meat was delicious.
We came during the first week of opening so service was a little slow while the staff/kitchen found their feet but will definitely come back to try more, especially when the dinner menu begins.
Jake knows how to smoke, deep through smoking full of flavour some of the best around. It's a place you need to try and give the Lil chicken ribs a try, sensational. Tip go on a Tuesday for the best taste. Would be a 5 if Jake could retain the moisture need to smoke more often. For me the St Louis Pork ribs and brisket the best picks, don't order the chips
Friendly and attentive service. Authentic American style BBQ, delicious and reasonable pricing, great selection of bourbons too. So happy to find this gem in my new local area. Thanks for a delicious Friday night feed!
This is one of the best meals I've had in a long time. Beautifully cooked meats, the Texas taco salad was superb. The beef burnt ends .. oh my god .. heaven! Great prices too! And the service was amazing. Hats off to the guy with the accent .. dude you were amazing and made our experience awesome! We will definitely be back!!
Just had a fabulous dinner there tonight - fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The winners for me were the fried tofu (recommended by our server), pulled lamb shoulder and mixed fungi. The table-top arcade game was a big hit with the 8yo and the hubby too!
Enjoyed the food and thought prices very reasonable.
Service very slow both to order and once ordered especially as not busy.
Chicken wings (plenty of meat, very moist inside and crunchy outside )& bourbon sauce a highlight of the dishes tried.
