About Business

Family Run Smokehouse

Skinny Jake’s Smokehouse BBQ is a family-run barbecue restaurant opened by Jake Griffin and his dad, Brian, at 31034 Valley Center Road. The father-and-son team brings generations of family recipes to the table, serving hearty smoked meats in a warm, Western-inspired setting.

Slow-Smoked BBQ & Family Recipes

The menu features slow-smoked favorites like brisket, beef “Dino” ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, cowboy beans, mac and cheese, homemade potatoes, and loaded cornbread. Their meats are smoked low and slow for up to 18 hours, with a focus on patience, flavor, and fresh daily preparation.

Come Early, Come Hungary

Skinny Jake’s is all about old-fashioned barbecue, generous portions, and a relaxed hometown feel. With unique items like Cowboy Sushi — stuffed jalapeños with seasoned cream cheese wrapped in bacon — plus indoor dining and catering options, it’s a great local spot for BBQ lovers looking for something fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
