a must stop for out of towners
by kcitykid at Citysearch
Whenever my 2 brothers come to town, Lil' Jakes is a must stop. I live downtown and love having such a yummy place to eat so close. Yes it is small and busy but that is the mark of a great place to eat. The staff has always been great and seem to have fun. I thank my brothers for introducing me to Lil' Jakes as it has become my favorite B-B-Q place in KC. And in this town, the competition is tough!
- Pros: great food, friendly staff
- Cons: small but in a good/fun way
Just Awesome

In three days, I went to Jack Stack, Gates and Lil' Jake's. Of the three, Lil' Jakes was the best. I went in the morning, right after they opened, and was served the best brisket and pork shoulder. The brisket was tender and deeply smoked, with a bright red ring. The pork shoulder was incredibly tender and moist, with a deep sweet crust. At 4 bucks per sandwich (including a side dish), it was a bargain. It's not fancy and it's a small restaurant, but the food is excellent. I even bought a bottle of sauce, their rub, and 2 t-shirts.
- Pros: Cheap, Excellent Barbecue, Downtown Location
- Cons: Very limited seating
Too Small
by kcrocky at Citysearch
You can't sit down its on the go. Hard to enjoy your meal. The food just isn't that good for all of the hassle!
- Cons: parking, size of restaurant
