My go-to is the half pit beef, half turkey sandwich, and their ribs are chef's kiss! The other meats are phenomenal, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection! The smoked mac and cheese is pretty decent, and while the coleslaw can be hit or miss for me, everything overall is delicious and satisfying! Fulfilling portions at affordable pricing. What makes this place even more special is the amazing customer service! The gentlemen servicing you are always welcoming, friendly, and attentive. I especially love the sweet gesture of giving the ladies a carnation flower before they leave. Such a thoughtful touch that can truly brighten someone's day! Located right off Falls Road in Cockeysville, it's a small roadside establishment that you might miss if you're driving too fast. I truly enjoy supporting this business. Jake's Grill is proof that great food, genuine hospitality, and little acts of kindness go a long way! Definitely a hidden gem worth trying!

I usually see the beets and eggs at another vendor and this gave me a chance to sample them before I bought any.

That was the best tasting jam I have ever had.

So many places in this area that are open for lunch are really crappy chains so Barrett's stood out to me. I was able to grab a table outside under the shade. I chose to order the kale cauliflower salad which came with a beautiful filet of salmon, feta, walnuts, dried cranberries, and a yummy vinaigrette. I was curious to see how all these flavors would work together but it was all delicious. I loved the crunch from the walnuts, the sweetness from the cranberries, and the creaminess of the feta. I can't say I've ever had a salad with cauliflower in it either but it was actually really good. For $19, I was really impressed with the quality and serving size especially of the salmon. Service was excellent, super friendly and attentive. She dropped the check but didn't make me feel rushed and even refilled my iced tea. I would highly recommend Barrett's!

Little touches like that really make a difference in our overall perspective of the restaurant. We had the Mediterranean chicken which was moist and flavorful. We were too full for dessert sadly. We'll come back if we're in town again!

It's a great spot for happy hour, grab a drink or a meal. Our server was pleasant and pointed out the specials that they have each night! On Tuesday it's a crab cake with fries & Cole slaw for $19.99 & it was worth every penny! The crab cake had tons of lumps & unlike most Crabcake spots they were not afraid to use the seafood/old bay seasoning. The fries were thin shoe string fries & came in a little basket! The meal was perfect & I feel this is the best Crabcake deal in the area. The ambiance was great in the dining room & there were tables at the bar as well. When we were leaving they were starting trivia night so I assume they do different events throughout the week. This is a hidden gem that I will definitely be returning to.
