Big Ed's BBQ

I was looking for bbq on Memorial Day because I was in from Out of town. I found this place on Yelp. The sausage was big and it tasted good. The mac and cheese was not seasoned and it was just ok. The beans were good even though I ordered greens instead of baked beans but he gave me beans. The ribs were rubbery or chewy. They are not fall off the bones ribs but they were seasoned well.

I was pissed that the exit to NB I-75 was closed yesterday, but then when I was on my way on an alternate route, I found Big Ed. I had to weave through 3 lanes of traffic to take an immediate left to get to him. It was worth the risk. I have done riskier things to get good bbq. Big Ed has a perfect set-up at Stanley & Webster. A deserted parking lot right on the corner with easy access from all directions. A walk up shack where you order from a menu that ranges from ribs to fried bologna. Not sure what you want to eat? Just walk over to his beautiful, seasoned direct heat cooker made from an old oil tank. Big Ed cooks with charcoal and cherry wood. You can literally stand in front of it and pick from a plethora of bbq'd meats. Chicken, ribs, sausages, fried bologna (yep) and probably others. The heat and smoke from the cooker keep your views short-livedI went for the rib sandwich and the day's special. The special was a pepper jack sausage, chips and drink for $5. I think the rib sandwich was $11. The sausage was store-bought and ho-hum. Not bad, but not very good either. The rib sandwich was the highlight here. The ribs looks so perfect on the cooker. The color was mahogany and they had crispy char in all the right spots. Big Ed cut the ribs for my sandwich right on the grate of the cooker. He slaps some sauce on them and places them in a styrofoam container with a perfectly cheap and soft white hamburger bun. Rib Sandwich! I sat on my tailgate and watched traffic roll by while making a fool of myself with sauce all over my hands and face. A lunch fit for a sunny Friday afternoon in April. I'm trying the fried bologna next visit.

His ribs are amazing, their juicy, the smoked aroma is intoxicating, and the sauce is to die for. These are some of the best ribs in town.

If you like BBQ, then you have to stop by. It's by far the best in a hundred mile radius. Multiple options to choose from. As most good BBQ places; they serve until they run out. He opens at 11am and closes when he is out of food. Which sometimes is fast. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Me and a couple of friends went to the $1 swap book store and needed a place to eat and man we smelled Big Ed's delicious food from off the road. We ordered the sausages, the BBQ chicken and the pulled pork. No food was left behind it was phenomenal. Everything was BUSSIN. Would recommend! 5 stars

BBQ was excellent. Nice sized portions. We got ribs, pulled pork and a beef Frank and sides. Everyone loves it. Big Ed knows what he's doing!
