Big Dave’s Round 2 BBQ

HANDS DOWN THE BEST BBQ! We've tried quite a few in the Memphis area, and this is hands down our favorite. The ribs in particular are incredibly juicy and flavorful. Big Dave's has become our go-to BBQ spot whenever we have friends or family in town. The roadside country ambience of the restaurant paired with the friendly staff and delicious food make this a must on places to eat!

If you ever happen to drive up Hwy 51N in Atoka, TN you'll find a small, gray building next to an Exxon gas station that has some of the best bbq you just might ever eat. The pulled pork is outstanding.. it's juicy, tender and really doesn't need any sauce. Speaking of sauce, theirs is a unique recipe unlike the normal heavy brown sugar molasses sugary sweet stuff you find at most Memphis establishments. The hot version is a bit better than the mild but who are we kidding; isn't that always the case?! The side items (cole slaw, beans) are also noteworthy. Don't miss this one!

Got 2 bbq plates to go and it was great!! Lots of food for your money and not full of fat and gristle. Will go again!

Ordered large meal from here tonight. Service was good and most people were polite. Got 3 pulled pork sandwich meals, a burger meal, and 2 half slab meals. Bags seemed light so I asked if we had everything.... Answer was yes. Got home and we were missing the two half slab meals. They made them but weren't the nicest about it. Sauce is mustard base and not the best. Beans are definitely from a can and barely upgraded. Potato salad is amazing. It's a great local spot. Very old town style ambiance. Didn't take pictures because I was too busy driving back and forth. Give them a try to see if you like! Oh ribs were great as well.

All I can ask is why?Why would you buy an existing restaurant - in a small, tight-knit community, that has a good reputation for pork barbeque, and CHANGE EVERYTHING from the name of the restaurant to the food?I must admit - I'd never eaten anything at Sparky's EXCEPT the barbeque. After all, it's a small, local barbeque joint. And again, it's all about the barbeque. For years, Sparky's made my order... white meat, chopped and piled HIGH, with the cole slaw and sauce... just like I ordered it. Always tender, always consistent. With the new place (at least if you order it to go), it now comes with pulled meat slapped on a toasted bun, and wrapped in paper. The sauce (which was ALSO changed) and the cole slaw are in separate containers, and all crammed into a styrofoam box. You simply can not eat this on the road, haha!The meat was flavorful but tough. While not bad, the sauce has a distinctly different flavor. The cole slaw has an extra measure of sugar mixed in. The inside improvements are long overdue. Nice job with the limited space they had to work with. The barbeque needed NO improvements. And the name change? Well, I just don't get it. Ego, I guess.

This place is really good. As far as I can tell they kept the same general business plan as the last bbq spot in that building. They're doing something different with the food though bc it's good

To help clear up the previous persons review...This is a BBQ place that opened up at a previous BBQ restaurant. It's new ownership, so of course the name will change along with the menu. And I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want BBQ that I CAN eat while driving... that just can't be good BBQ!The new owners of this place were the previous owners of the then locally famous 'Post Office BBQ'. I love Big Dave's BBQ, and I'm very picky about my BBQ. I stopped in last Saturday with my daughter and we picked up an order to go. Place looks really nice on the inside (albeit small). The BBQ (pulled pork) and baked beans were on point. If you're into real, juicy, backyard style slow cooked BBQ, then I highly recommend giving this place a try.

We stopped in 2 weeks ago for a BBQ sandwich and then again 2 days ago. We were happy with the food & service. The meat is smoky, tastey, tender & pulled- but not in huge chunks (which I liked a lot). The mild sauce was different- but really good...a little sweet & a little vinegary. Slaw-absolutely & pretty good. Fries were frozen but freshly fried....so ok. Beans were just about perfect for me. I hear they have great pie but they were out....

The people are very friendly and everything I have ordered so far has been awesome I already tried the barbecue nachos, barbecue baked potato , and the jumbo barbecue sandwich

Great food and good prices. Their ribs are the best I have had in the area. Fall off the bone tinder and moist. The BBQ sauce is a thin Memphis style and comes in medium and hot. A great tribute to original Memphis style BBQ.
