I have been stopping at Jake’s for the past 10 years. The ribs are fantastic. Jake’s has a friendly bar. They use to sell their great Bar-B-Q sauces [mustard based and tomato based] in jars, now you have to ask them to fill up a coffee cup to go.

Don’t expect too much atmosphere, Jake’s is short on that. Go there for the ribs and unwind at the bar. There are plenty of motel rooms available within walking distance.
