Big O's Texas BBQ

Friendly, engaging staff! Nice dining area. Otis the owner was so kind! The food was fast, fresh and delicious!! My husband & I highly recommend visiting Big O's!! It is truly a hidden gem!! Can't wait to try more off the menu!!

Lovely people, but this is the worst barbecue I've ever tasted.I ordered a brisket plate and literally every piece was 50% fat. Not marbled fat - just a big ol' fat wad accounting for 50% of the slice. The non-fat 50% was as dry as boot leather. Ridiculous.Your rub should not be "black pepper, and more black pepper, and more black pepper." I like black pepper as much as the next guy, but I've never had as much in my mouth as this place offers.The owner told me he came up from Texas. My guess is he was banished for crimes against meat. When ordering a plate, you get two sides. Cornbread is not an option. (Weird.) I got peach cobbler and it was fine. Cole slaw was okay, but lacking seasoning.Mac and cheese was not my cup of tea, but it wasn't inedible.It's fitting that Big O's is in the same building as a funeral services company because this is the place where barbecue comes to die.

Great little place,big on flavor! BBQ was fantastic. You definitely will feel full after your meal

The workers here are lovely, but the food is just not good. We waited 45 minutes for our food and paid $45 for 2 people. We each got 2 ribs with barely any meat on them, and a small fatty pile of pork. The only sauce was bottled sweet baby rays, which was a let down since most BBQ places make their own sauces. The peach cobbler used canned peaches and was cold, and the coleslaw was hot, I think they had it too close to the heat lamp. Truly wanted to like this, but it was really bad. The whole place could also use a good deep clean, especially the back kitchen we entered through accidentally (the signs point to the rear of the building to enter.)

Excellent dry rub Texas BBQ. Best in the area! The owner, Big O himself, was very warm, welcoming, and answered any questions. Encouraged us to try things we didn't order and offered samples of them. Truly delicious food!

Ample seating, fair prices, and quick service. Had the sausage tonight and it was fabulous!

Service was great. Food was not good. The ambiance was dead. This is my honest review; I was here a couple of months ago after a cheer competition. I doubt anything has changed.

Went to Big Os twice in a week with a friend and had the brisket sandwich. On the first visit, the sandwich was excellent. However on the second visit the brisket sandwich was about half fat. After extracting most of the big chunks of fat, there wasn't much meat left. My friends chicken sandwich was good from the first visit, but on 2nd visit had the sausage sandwich which wasn't very flavorful. So, this place can be hit or miss.The restaurant itself was neat and clean.

The food is truly Texas barbecue. It's difficult to find such authentic Texas brisket in the Midwest. Big O's has done it. Brisket is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Portions are Texas size and you will not be hungry when you leave. Service is the best. We went late and the place was jumping.

Outstanding authentic Texas style BBQ brisket and ribs!! Tender, moist, and deep with true smoked flavor!! My husband considers himself a sausage enthusiast and said Otis's sausage is the best he's ever tasted! We sampled his baked beans and Loved the true smokiness of these too!!We met and chatted with Otis - what a genuinely friendly and knowledgeable guy! We highly recommend checking out Big O's if you're looking for the real thing without the summer Texas heat!
