Me and my husband went to the establishment today. We ordered the small meat platter which came with smoked turkey, brisket, ribs, pulled pork and smoked sausage along with 3 large sides and also ordered the dino rib. The wait time was a little long but it was well worth the wait. Meats were well seasoned and tender. We will definitely be returning

Our first time dining here and we loved it. Service was great and didn’t have to wait very long for our food. The entire staff was friendly. The indoor dining area was roomy and inviting. Great BBQ for sure. The potato salad was phenomenal.

My family loves big thicket bbq! When you walk in you order at the counter. After you order you find a seat and when your food is ready they bring it out to you. The best BBQ around and the sides are always delicious! My daughter and I shared double brisket and we each got 2 sides & a drink.

Not many places I rate get 5 stars. 5 stars are reserved for those special places. Those places that tick every box and delight the senses. This is one of those places. We ate here for lunch on our 27th anniversary and were delighted. The place doesn't look like much on the outside, but inside packs a punch. Although seating is very limited, we were able to get a seat. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. The ladies at the counter were quick to make recommendations and very pleasant in conversation. I ordered the 2 Meat Plate and my wife ordered the brisket tacos. It didn't take long for our feast to arrive and we dined like kings. It's rare that you find a place where the sides are equally as good as the entrees but they are here. We tried them all and they wer
