Dear lord! This plate was a monster. I honestly didn’t expect it to be this large when I ordered it, partly because it was only $11.25. But I was amazed and a little queasy when I saw it, lol. It tasted amesome though and I loved the brown gravy! Thank goodness we went on a hike that day.

And this is how it left the table. I tried my best but I couldn’t succeed in eating it all. 🙂

This had a lot of great flavor and you can choose the spiciness level. Of course I asked for “Thai hot”! The beef was a little tough and chewy though.

Pulled pork sandwich - Big Jake's Island BBQ
Topped with homemade bbq sauce, served with coleslaw and baked beans.

This was ok. I wish they would have at least toasted the bun. Since they didn’t, it got soggy pretty quickly from the bland(ish) bbq sauce. Hmm…
