Reviews: All Products

It started in 2008 with a small jar of regular BBQ sauce and small shaker of Tri-Tip, Steak and Rib Rub. Four big July 4th parties and several just for fun and we keep giving samples away the guest like Jake's BBQ sauce and Rubs that much. We now by rub by the 48oz and the BBQ by the Gal. Time to order more.

I come back to Jake's website quite often so I was pleased to find they added some new products. One which I am absolutely in love with is the Jake's Famous Blue Oak BBQ Sauce. This stuff is "amazing" and I'll tell you why. Jake has started doing a series of blogs on Smoking. We started smoking a couple of months ago and so we were happy to see that Jake's is now selling smokers along with this amazing sauce. So, I bought two bottles because everything else I've bought has been great so why not this. I followed Jake's instructions marinating our ribs and steaks overnight in the sauce. Then I added them to the prepared smoker at 225 degrees. Man, was I surprised...the ribs came out with this really nice, shiny almost glistening look and were fall off the bone tender. The flavor of the sauce permeated the meat with this wonderful 5 spice, teriyaki, soy and chipotle combination. The steaks were so tender that we could cut them with a fork. For my money this is one of the best products I've ever had. You've got a winner here Jake and we will certainly be buying more. Congrats.

I met Jake at a vendor event at Whole Foods in Laguna Niguel. Of all the featured vendors Jakes BBQ sauce made the biggest impact on me. I was a little disappointed I couldn't purchase his sauce on the spot, but he referred me to The Meat House in Mission Viejo where I went the next day and bought 2 bottles of The Original Mild as well as a bottle of his Steaks, Tri-Tip and Rib Rub.

I was already planning on making ribs that night so it worked out perfectly! My Dad is a big BBQ'er do I had him over for baby backs. I make pretty good ribs, but Jakes Sauce put me over the top and I am now the King of Ribs in the family. I didn't want to share my new secret with my Dad, but that would be a complete disservice to Jake and my Dad.

By the way, when I bought the sauce at The Meat House, the cashier had a lot of great things to say about Jake and his products.

Thanks Jake, love your sauce and rubs, just delicious!
