Big Rig’s BBQ

Big Rig's BBQ makes delicious food. There's a big open kitchen behind the counter, so you can see seasoning, cooking, etc. happening right in front of you. Everything we had was great. (Tip: To go is not be a good idea if you are at all hungry and have a medium-to-long drive -- the food smells SO good, you will likely be tempted to pull onto a shoulder and start eating.) The restaurant was very clean, and the tangy Carolina (mustard based) sauce was surprisingly *fantastic* with the mac and cheese. I'm glad we gave it a try!

Wow wow wow. I'm from North Carolina, so finding decent barbecue is hard in my opinion. Enter Big Rig's- the best bbq I have EVER had. Their meat is tender and their sauces are spot on. I'm picky about Carolina mustard sauce, and theirs is out of this world. AND they have killer sweet tea. Makes my little heart feel at home. The space is cute and picnicy and the staff are so so so friendly. Great customer service here. From a girl who grew up on NC BBQ, Big Rig's is doing it RIGHT!

My mom and I stopped by Big Rig's BBQ for a quick late lunch/early dinner. The staff was so friendly and answered all the questions we had. We both ordered the pulled pork sandwich, a slice of cornbread and the Mac n cheese. I wasn't blown away by the Mac n cheese or cornbread. The Mac n cheese is not baked but has decent flavor. It kind of gives premium boxed Mac n cheese. The cornbread was pretty tough but had ok flavor. The pulled pork sandwich I really enjoyed. The slaw on the sandwich was really good. I also didn't really like any of the bbq sauce offered that were placed on the table. We also placed orders for ribs and sides for New Year's Eve. The ribs were tender but again I didn't love the sauce. We also had the Nashville chicken sandwich which was disappointing. Lots of tough breading and not much chicken. I did not like the loaded potato salad at all. We also got the twice fried potatoes with brisket which was really good.

Pulled into town early evening and looking for something to eat. Was feeling BBQ and quickly saw chain bbq Mission right down the street but scrolled down a few more options before stumbling on Big Rig's. While Mission is fine, Big Rig's is the truth. I ordered crispy Brussels sprouts with pulled pork and it was awesome. Pork was tender and flavorful without sauce but another level with the Carolina sauce. Sprouts were tasty with the sweet chili sauce. Some of the best 'que I have had in a while!

Big Rig's is located in a little Plaza off of the main highway in Monroeville. Although it is hidden, you'll definitely know where to find it when you go back over and over again!Big Rig's BBQ is tender and delicious. It's packed with a ton of flavor! All of the sides sound delicious, but I tried the Mac n' cheese and their potatoes. You can see by the picture that their portions are HUGE! With the prices being right and their food delicious, you'll be coming back here again and again!

I can't believe it took me this long to review this delicious BBQ place! I've ordered from here multiple times already, but swore I wrote a review - I was wrongThis time I ordered the Burger of the Week (BOW) and sliced pork belly:'Yes Sir' Bourbon Burger - 1/2 lb burger, house rub, pickles, aged cheddar cheese, applewood smoked bacon, makers mark bourbon bbq sauce, bbq spiced fried onion straws served with sweet bbq spiced friesBoth burger and sliced pork belly were absolutely delicious! The sliced pork belly with the easy pull apart accompanied by the medium and hot sauces - mouth watering goodness! The staff are wonderful - polite, professional, and the overall service is top notch! Be sure to stop by this great BBQ place when you visit Monroeville!

Really really good! Despite mission bbq now being around the corner, I still thing this is a solid choice for bbq night. Brisket is my go to usually, and this place does it well. I love that it's a small shop versus the chain atmosphere too. This just feels more personal, less commercialized. I've never had a bad meal here, which is saying a lot! Sauces are 10/10, I love almost all that they have to offer too. Service is great as well!

I got the pulled pork sandwich and Mac and cheese. It was good but I wish the Mac and cheese had been warmer. I also had looked at the menu and picked something they no longer make, so that's how I ended up with the tbe pulled pork sandwich. Also just personal preference, I would rather put on my own bbq sauce than it comes with sauce. But the staff was very nice. And I would go back.

Updating to say that the brisket grilled cheese is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! It comes with this amazing tomato jam and a side of the smoked potato salad. Go and get it!

If you order online, add 10 minutes to the time they say it will be ready. Counter workers are unorganized. I ordered the twice fried loaded potato which is actually a big pile of shredded brisket over chopped, fried potatoes. The meat was tasty but dry. Also had cornbread which was moist and delicious.
