First time here, got a large plate with brisket, pulled pork and sausage. Got green beans and mac-n-cheese. Toast came with it as well. It was some great BBQ. If you try it you'll like it too.

We always stop by when in the area, excellent BBQ! From sliced brisket, chopped brisket, smoked turkey including the beans, coleslaw and a special spicy corn.

The fried okra is the best we ever had. You also get free beans with your meal! They were delicious. The staff were super helpful, so nice. We ordered the family meal for 3/4. It was more than enough for the 4 of us

I give a 4-star rating on the food only because I love French fries as my side, and it's hit/miss if my fries are a little soggy. I order extra crispy, and about 1/2 the time they are, and unfortunately, the 1/2 they are not. The brisket has a nice smoked flavor, and the turkey is always nice and moist. They offer several good BBQ sauces, and I always enjoy the free sliced onions, baked beans, and jalapenos. The only place in Texas where you will find beverages at $1.29! Kudos to Big Jakes!

What stands out the most is that their meat actually has flavor! My family has loved this chain for decades, and as we’ve gone around the country and tried other BBQ we’ve realized that Big Jake’s is our go-to. Other restaurants focus on their sauce to add flavor and moisture to the meat, while Big Jake’s meat is honestly good by itself. Speaking of sauces, you can’t go wrong with any of them. Each has their own selling point but they are all excellent. The complimentary beans are also great!

This is our 4th time at Big Jake's BBQ and every time we stop by we are never disappointed. We are from Houston and we plan our road trips with Big Jake's BBQ as a must-stop. The fired pies are absolutely amazing!

If you love BBQ, this is the place for you. Tge staff is very attentive and ready to help. The me u is a good size without being overwhelming. There plenty of seats to enjoy your food at. There is even a pie kitchen. It wasn't open while I was there, but there were plenty of pies available at the counter.

Food was good and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly. I like the free Pinto beans when you eat in. The meats were all very good not overly smoked or dry. They have a few different bbq sauces to choose from.

Stopped in on our way from Chicago to Dallas. Couldn’t resist trying some Texarkana BBQ. Hands down the best brisket I have ever had. Moist and flavorful, didn’t even need sauce. But I did try their sauce and had to buy some extra to take back to Chicago! Friendly staff and tons of seating.

We came in around 6PM and a worker told us that they were about to close. My group of friends had to leave to another restaurant afterwards. My friend might have found the love of his life had he not been refused service. Yeah they don't like money I guess.

Nice BBQ joint - simple menu, but good food. There was about 20 of us, so we had the 'patio' room to ourselves with large picture windows looking outside. You have to go up to the register to order, which was a little slow since individual families paid separately. The mac and cheese looked old/dry, so I ordered potato salad and Cole slaw with pulled pork. Drinks are self serve and on the opposite side of bar are self serve buckets of beans and 4 different BBQ sauces. I also got an original peach fried pie that was very yummy. Go check this restaurant out when you are in Texarkana!!!

Delicious food, good variety, friendly and helpful staff. Nice variety of sauces and they're kept warm. Clean and inviting place to eat inside.

Our first time here. I had the chopped brisket with Cole slaw, wife had sliced chicken with sweet potato fries, baby daughter had kids rib plate and other daughter had brisket and pork taco with fresh cut fries. Everything was fast, hot and tasty. The ribs were good flavor but tough. They have beans for you to eat with several flavor BBQ sauces. The pickles are half cucumber half dill... Not sure if I liked them... The price was good for 3 of us eating BBQ. The location was easy to get to, clean restroom and friendly staff. We will be back.

Updating my review, the food is still excellent but the prices have not changed and the portion size definitely has. We haven't been in a while because we couldn't afford it and, when we did today, we got about half as much food as we used to.

Come here several times and ask for thin sliced meat and it’s yet to be achieved on morning and night shift.

Stopped in on way to work and ordered 3 meat dinner. Pulled pork, Sliced Brisket and Pulled Brisket. Got to work and opened container and no pork. I called them and told them what happened. They asked if I had my receipt and I told them I threw it in their trash can on way out the door. They said sorry nothing we can do. I called them less than 10 min after leaving the store. The portions were super small especially when they charged an extra $4 for brisket. Definitely not a $24 meal and it wasn't even that good. Meat was very dry. I guess that's why they include 3 cups of sauce. Definitely won't be back!
