Food was excellent but permanently closed long ago. Building is now empty. Think this makes it the required 85 spaces.

I struggle rating BBQ places around here. Not many are bad, but neither am I generally wowed. So few have any real smoke flavor to their meats. Big Boys (I would choose 3.5 stars, if allowed) is probably in the upper end of this mass of mediocrity. I had been to Big Boys some time ago when I was trying different BBQ ribs. I could swear I wrote a review, but it must have gotten lost somewhere in the changeover from Urbanspoon to Zomato. It's cash-only, but there's a free ATM at the 7-11 next door. As others have said, it's a hole in the wall. The two tables are mainly for waiting, so know that you're ordering takeout. They have a good selection of meats, and the price is reasonable. Strangely, they don't have coleslaw. I ordered ribs and pulled pork, with baked beans and okra. They have some drinks, but grab a Big Red at 7-11 while you're getting cash. The baked beans were OK with a thick, tangy sauce. I'm going to stop ordering okra. So few places fry their own, and I'm tired of the frozen variety. The meats were better, and there were healthy portions. The pulled pork was good, and the ribs were the star of the show. Nice, big, meaty and a tad sweet, they were cooked perfectly. The meat was tender and had a good chew. To just taste the sweet and vinegary house BBQ sauce, I wasn't impressed. But it's darned near perfect for their meat read more

Great friendly people with wonderful ribs brisket and pulled pork. Fast service very reasonable prices. It's a hidden gem.

Bad Boys BBQ is a tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant located right beside the 7-11 on Rockwell and Britton. I wouldn't let the location or interior throw you off because this place has tasty BBQ at a fair price and is worth checking out. While I wouldn't recommend stopping by with a large group (there are a total of 6 seats inside with separate tables) I would recommend making a sandwich combo to-go order to see if it's to your liking. Service is quick and friendly, the meats were smoked nicely (though, my sliced Brisket was a little bit tough near the end), and the sides that I tried (baked beans and fried okra) were both very good. I remember seeing a sign outside that said Tuesdays and Wednesdays are $5 sandwich combo days. $5 for one of their sandwich combos is an absolute steal and should be reason enough to drop by if you're in the area. Bad Boys has two types of BBQ sauce: Original and Hot. The Original has more of a cider vinegar-y taste to it and the Hot has a sweeter and spicier kick to it. I would most definitely suggest you get the Hot instead of the Original if you're not too keen on vinegar-y type sauces. Also, it's spicy but not so spicy that you won't enjoy the rest of your food. Overall, good food and nice people. Check them out if you're in the area. read more

great bbq & my favorite potato salad! I like to go to big boys for a amazing friendly service & food that rocks

If you like hole in the wall restaurants, this is one you should check out. From the looks of the exterior and interior, you might easily look past it, but what matters is the food! I ordered the 3 meat combo including 2 sides for under $12! read more

A friend had suggested this place after his experience, so I had to get there to try it. Location is great because it is the only bbq offering in the vicinity. Since it is great; it makes it an even better than just being a convenient offering. They only have a couple of tables, so make note if you are trying to dine in. The parking is sufficient, but there is a lot of foot traffic in the area so try not to run over anyone. They are around the corner on the north side of the gas station. The service along with the food is high quality. I was greeted immediately when entering even though he was in the middle of assisting another patron. The glorious smoker smell was all around, and tempting slices of cake occupied the counter next to the register. They have a daily special, lunch specials, and other typical bbq offerings. The lunch special comes with a meat or sandwich, one side, and a drink. I got the lunch special with rib and potato salad. The ribs were just succulent, and the cartilage was very tender too. I got the spicy sauce which was very flavorful, but the ribs didn't need sauce. The potato salad was definitely homemade and a unique recipe I have never had. The special of the day was brisket nachos, and a few customers ordered that while I was waiting, and the order would definitely feed three people. The fresh preparations make the food worth the wait if you have one. Great work Big Boy's read more

The meat was good but that's it. No coleslaw or Mac and cheese. It's definitely for take out only as there are only 2 tables which you use to wait. The lady at the register must of been having a bad day. I did get to pay with my visa though read more

Take out only because of Covid. Ribs and pulled pork were great. I will come back for more, one of the best in the area.

Ken and Junior served up the best BBQ. I have never been to this place. I wasn't even a customer. I was a repairman fixing something at their place. They graced me with some ribs (that didn't need sauce), fabulous beans, and some tater salad that I can't even explain how good it was. The perfect amount of mayo, and a sweetness I can't figure out. Great all around food and good people. read more

Really good BBQ. We've had the awesome ribs. Meatier and more per order than I've ever had. Tasty too. We've also enjoyed Pulled Pork and Chopped Brisket Combo meals. Hot of Mild sauce optional because the meat is so juicy. Try It-Youl' read more

Holy cow this place is good!! Best hole in the wall restaurant ever! I ordered the pulled pork sando with fried okra. Portion sizes are huge and for $8 it was a steal! The place was clean and the staff was friendly. I'm coming back and can't wait to try the ribs! Oh yea and the bbq was just right.. Enjou read more

Excellent BBQ!! Even the cakes are delicious..its hidden behind the 7-11 so we had passed it the first time and had to turn around. The place smelled wonderful and the owner greeted us with a big smile as soon as we entered. We all ordered something different from the menu so we could sample. On the day we came his credit card machine wasn't working so my husband ran over to the 7-11 to use the ATM as my son and I waited at one of the only two tables inside. It looked as though most of the patrons ordered to go. The bbq sauce is not on the meat, you can tell them if you want mild or hot and add it yourself. My sons sandwich was missing the bottom bread and it seemed to be very messy but really good. Filled me up but my husband thought the portions could have been bigger for the price. read more

What a great place!! Firstly, the customer service is top notch. If you have ever seen House of Cards with Kevin Spacey on Netflix it's just like that famous Dive BBQ place in D.C. Chico and Jr. are awesome people and really whip up a good plate.. I had the pick two meats with Brisket and ribs.. Fried Okra and potato salad on the side.. Sooooo goood! Their caramel cake is CRACK!!!!!! So amazingly good!!!! Like seriously awesome!!! Must try, I never had a cake that good as I usually am not a cake guy. The food , the service and the dessert!!!! Give it a shot you won't be disappointed .. read more

It's got that Mom & Pops aura about it. I pass by it every time I go to and from work and the wife and I decided that today we wouldn't pass it by. Walking in, we were greeted with a no-less-than-80-degree temperature. We took a look at the menu and saw a lot of the favorite BBQ meats and sides. We ended up getting some ribs, a pulled pork sandwich, baked beans and green beans, and a hot link. All of our food came with slices of white bread--another staple. The wait time took a little longer than expected, but hearing the cooks chopping the meat reassured me that we were getting some good stuff. I must admit that the food was good overall. You can tell that actual labor went into it as opposed to the assembly-line style fooderies. I just made up that word just now. :) All in all, it was worth the stop. We will be back to continue supporting the business. read more

Best ribs in town! Staff is super nice, and their sides are good too! Don't forget to bring cash though!

A little, family-owned hole in the wall that serves authentic barbecue with love. Their smoked brisket, pulled pork, chicken, and fried catfish are delicacies. I'm a fried okra fiend and Big Boy's does not disappoint. Bring some home for the family! read more

Finally a true BBQ place has arrived here in NW Oklahoma City!! I tried the 2 meat plate with 2 ribs and 2 hot links. It came with 2 sides so I got the potato salad and baked beans. The ribs had the perfect hickory smoked taste and the hot links were big and very good too!!! The owner was very friendly and the place was clean. I highly recommend this place, I hope it makes it the food is excellent. read more

Julius (Jr.) and the rest of the staff are super friendly! The food is delicious and they give you plenty. I love the rib tips, but it's very hard to choose because the catfish is great too!! Love eating there! Best Barbecue in Oklahoma!!! read more

Man on Man, the greatest BBQ joint this side of OKC, beats the Hell out of that wanna be BBQuer Billy Simms (terrible). Nice friendly staff and plenty fast. Gotta have it to go, no real sitting place, well not for a crowd, maybe two can sit. Louis R Gonzales 405-401-9542 louisrgonzales@cox.net read more

This is a locally owned business and that is apparent in the no frills location and decorations. It is all about the Q here and the owners are proud of their product which is shown by great service and attitude. The smell is fantastic and just concentrates when you walk in. The food here is made from their own recipe as it tastes different than the median standard at the interchangeable chain restaurants. I ordered a family pack for about 35 dollars, It came with two pints of sides, a slab of ribs, and a meat of choice. I picked the chopped brisket. They gave me plenty of sauce regular and hot. The hot is not very hot but adds an enjoyable spice. The meats are smokey and tender and the sides have their own distinct and pleasant flavors. The potato salad was tasty but the beans were very flavorful. My only complaint is that I like a BBQ that has a heavy bark and I did not see enough of that for me. My favorite surprise is the generous portions, For under forty bucks I fed a family of four yummy food twice. If you live in the area I would say this is a place to grab a family pack at least once a month. read more

Great food at a great price. Been here a few times and never been disappointed. Friday's is catfish and it's amazing. Doesn't matter if your getting the BBQ or fish you get big portions enough for leftover the next day. Great customer service the owner and his family are all very friendly. read more

Tried this place about 2 weeks ago based on Yelp reviews! How disappointing, ribs were some of the worst that I have ever had - couldn't give just a "half or no stars" to do a review or I would have. Baked beans & potato salad may have been from Reasors or Crest not sure? Friend ate lunch with me & his Burger was pretty good. Don't wast your time at this place, all BBQ places smell great but when you can't chew the meat from the Ribs, it isn't great or even acceptable! read more

I have been stopping in weekly during the COVID-19 scare to get some really great food. I have a choice to eat fast food or good food and I choose good food from Big Boys BBQ every time. If you want excellent brisket, turkey, chicken, sausage, hot links or collard greens, don't go past, stop in, place your order and your taste buds will love you forever! read more

A good place for fast BBQ. The food is on an average, the price is a little high and the food is only average. The food is like old style cooking from a backyard BBQ. Not really surprised by the food or the services. The time they say they are open is really not guaranteed! read more

Never saw the place, went to the vet next door got out the door and the smell hit me. Had to find out where it was coming from. Stopped in to see what they had and ended up grabbing some for supper. Really good price and really good food. read more

They have the best ribs that are so tender they just fall apart. Their new catfish Fridays is my favorite now. The catfish is excellent. Not to mention the owners are so nice. It is just a little hole in the wall type place, but it is well worth your stopping. read more

We went because of the reviews. The food was not good at all. The meat was not good quality. The sides were just okay. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

This barbecue has always been good I always get the rib dinner in fried okra. It is always made fresh I have not had a bad experience yet. The cakes are homemade and delicious. read more

This place was recommended to us by an associate, and we stopped in for lunch. When we walked in, I wasn't sure what to expect, because these little hole in the wall places can be either really good or really bad. We walked up to the counter and asked for suggestions, and the guy said he had the best ribs in the city. I thought he was blowing smoke until he brought out a sample after I ordered a spud. When I bit into it, all the meat came right off the bone and melted in my mouth. These are without a doubt the best ribs I have ever eaten in my life. I've been to dozens of BBQ places across oklahoma, Texas, Atlanta, and even California, but nothing compares to these ribs. I ordered another half rack on top of what we already ordered, just because they were so good. In my opinion, these ribs are way under priced! Cheap price for the amount he gives. Huge portions. No one finished their plate, but everyone ate until they were stuffed. GOOD GOOD GOOD! read more

So this place is around the corner from me. I thought I would try it. And I ordered a two meat combo with burnt ends and ribs, fries, okra. The fries are crinkle cut so that's a plus. But I got home and all I had was a bunch of cut up ribs. I figured being a bbq place they knew what burnt ends are they are brisket not ribs. No one ever would order the toughest part of the rib the end of it. So I paid 13.00 for a two meat combo and got a total of 3 ribs that were cut into small pieces. Didn't even get my two meats at all. I would think if I just wanted ribs I would of ordered a rib combo. And pieces of the ribs are tender but most of it is tough because it's the rib ends. And I want to say this when I ordered my food the lady at the counter knew exactly what I was talking about because when I asked for burnt ends she said brisket I said yes ribs and brisket burnt ends. I called to complain and thought maybe there was some confusion on what I wanted and she said I can get you on your next visit. Won't ever go back. read more

I was at the 7-11 store and the aroma just hit me. So I went around the corner and I saw the Big Boy's BBQ Express. Later on that evening I called in my order and picked it. The guy that worked there said "You've never been here before?" I said "No". He smiled and said "You'll be back!" Best BBQ around and the price was beyond reasonable! Glad this place exists1 I get hungry! read more
