  Had my first experience with the barbecue from Jake n Boo's last night. They catered a wedding I attended and I have to say it was some of the best 'cue I have had in years. The brisket was fork tender and well seasoned, the sausage was juicy and flavorful. the chicken was amazing - tender and very juicy. The sides - potato salad and beans were equally tasty. Beyond that, the owners were friendly, communicative and did a great job of making everyone happy. Well done!

  Jake n' Boo's is located inside a small antique shop in "downtown" Rosebud, which is a little odd to say the least.
  
  I had eaten lunch just a little earlier, so I only wanted to grab a light snack. I settled on their sausage wrap. I had wanted two since they're only $2.00 each, but apparently they only had enough sausage left for 1 1/2 sausage wraps. I wasn't exactly sure what I had just purchased until I hopped back into my truck and unwrapped the tortilla.
  
  I was hoping for slices of smokey link sausage. Instead, I was disappointed to find a bratwurst-sized "sausage" that looked more like a large hotdog than anything else. I mean, the flavor was acceptable, but there was nothing spectacular that would draw me back for more. The sausage had almost no snap, no char, and very little smoke.
  
  Since I didn't want sauce leaking out onto my shirt while I was driving, I got my sausage wraps with just a light drizzling of sauce. It had a decent taste and a nice hint of sweetness, but again, no wow factor. I also would have preferred a little more acidity. The sauce was extremely runny, so despite my best efforts I ended up with it all over my shirt, as well as my seatbelt.
  
  Jake n' Boo's worked fine for a cheap afternoon snack, but I wasn't overly impressed.
