I've eaten my way through the south, and while no BBQ jernt up here compares to Dixie's best (just like you can't get good chowda outside of New England), Jake's is one of three places (the other two being the Blue Ribbon in Newton and Uncle Pete's in Eastie) that comes damn close. Tasty tender ribs, great sides, wide variety, and the best desserts of any BBQ place in town. Friendly service, good prices, and a no-BS dining room.
Pros: Great food, friendly service, value
