Big Dog's Smokehouse BBQ

My wife and MIL got the nachos and I got the sliders. The nachos were absolutely fantastic according to both who had them. The sliders gave me an opportunity to try all of the smoked options. The brisket was okay, the chicken was quite dry and the pulled pork was decent. But the smoked sausage was FANTASTIC. Incredibly good. We did pick up and it was done on time and packaged well. Very quick and easy pick up. Imo this rivals big hoffas. Definitely worth a stop

Delicious BBQ for Indiana! Highly recommend getting the Southern Comfort as the coleslaw with added ranch gives the BBQ a nice finish. Meat was dry, but thankfully they have fantastic sauces to put on it- the Carolina mustard was my favorite. Quick, friendly service in a great setting filled with antiques and fun objects. Plus, the smell of smoke greets you outside and makes your stomach yearn for the coming food while waiting inside.

I stopped in on a weekday with coworkers and loved the interior! So many cool decorations and sitting arrangements to choose from! Note: You order your food before finding your seat and drinks are a separate cost. I ordered the pulled chicken platter with potato salad and green beans. The chicken did not taste like barbecue, more like boiled maybe?, but the sauces they have on the table made up for the lack of flavor on the chicken itself. The potato salad was DELICIOUS, I would absolutely order a larger portion of this for a family picnic or get together, and the green beans were pretty flavorful as well. Customer service was good too, you can tell it's a small family owned business as Christian music played in the background while we ordered our food and staff were very attentive. It was a nice change from your typical barbecue joint.

We tried this great looking spot a couple of weeks ago. Decor inside and out is spot on! Cool comfortable hometown spot. Menu was a bit confusing. We tried the chicken nachos, brisket and ribs. Chicken nachos were pretty dry but I suspect when you smoke white meat chicken, it's hard to avoid. Nachos would have greatly benefited from actual bacon bits, these were cold and the jalapeños were canned. Fresh jalapeño would have really helped. Brisket was good, Needed some seasoning and if the bun had been buttered or toasted, it would have made all the difference. Cole slaw was delicious. Ribs were good but also needed a little more seasoning. Their house sauces were very good and each of the meats needed them. My last criticism is a personal preference. Fine dining or roadside, I prefer not to hear all the chatter in the kitchen. It's distracts from your meal. I wouldn't say don't try this place but I truly believe they can do better.

Fast service. Good food. Great prices. Neat interior and a fun place for lunch or dinner for anyone!

Everything was top notch here. Food, service, and atmosphere were amazing. I will be returning!

Cicero. Easy street parking. Super friendly staff. Was also able to accommodate my friend who needs to be gluten and dairy free. Order at the counter and sit anywhere in the cute and quriky space filled with Americana and BBQ memorabilia. Some beer and wine available. Good portions. Pulled pork, smoked brisket, green beans, baked beans , creamy mac and cheese, all a big #yum!

Yes this is good and the restaurant with all the antique stuff that you can look at as you sit there and eat awesome that's a highlight. We didn't have a problem about one of the menu items that we did not get, but it was switched and when I went back up to the lady, she told me that I wanted to switch it would cost money. I explained that that is what I originally ordered so there was a communication problem there he would think that if there was, a problem with it that they would take care of the problem

Highly recommend. When my food truck was a no show for a large event, big dogs catered my event and it was fabulous. Great service and food was excellent. Thank you all for saving my party.

The barbeque was not very good, and pretty expensive. Out of 3 kids who love sausage, none of them would eat the sausage.
