Big Jake BBQ has its origins in Texarkana. The initial Big Jake's Bar-B-Que establishment found its home on Hwy 82, taking up residence in a refurbished building that once housed a Dairy Queen. The immense popularity and clamor from patrons for more outlets led to the expansion of the brand, resulting in the establishment of additional stores. Presently, Big Jake BBQ boasts a presence in multiple locations across Texas, including Texarkana and Nash, as well as in Arkansas, with stores situated in Texarkana, Hope, and Ashdown.
