I have been going to Big Creek since they opened. I have next been disappointed in the food. The staff is always friendly and the Owner Dan is a great guy with a funny sense of humor. He has added iconic tables by creek to sit and eat there. I fully recommend this place if you're a big fan of BBQ! read more

Prices are insane for mid BBq. A food truck, with no big over head should not be charging $15 for a mid quality sandwich. "Loaded" fries also the same price, come in a small container and it was just cheese and pulled chicken. Beef brisket was chewy and felt like it was reheated multiple times. Not worth it read more

I have moved more than 250 miles away but... whenever I get back to PA I bring Big Creek food with me. Vacuum packed and frozen we can enjoy BBQ weeks and months later. Though I won't get there again until the fall, family is bringing ribs back with them for me to enjoy this summer. Yes, prices are high but well, well worth it. No one in our region of VA can match Dan's fabulous food! read more

Best ever.Love the staff.Love the owner(Dan)Love the food,His apple BBQ sauce is the best.Hus sweet potatoes are Awsome,So good I even eat the skin.Been going there for for years,Since he opened.I even met an elderly woman there last time,that said this is where she wants to spend her money on a meal for herself.Bc it's the best,And the ppl behind the counter are thr best too read more

It's just a roadside stand, but the pulled pork is not just pulled pork. It is absolutely outstanding. The staff is friendly. And I would definitely go there again. read more

Great BBQ. Had pulled pork sandwich and brisket with apple BBQ sauce. Lots of meat on sandwich. Nice outdoor seating near creek with shade. Very friendly staff. read more

First off, the prices were shockingly high especially for a small town. I don't mind paying more for quality, but the portions were underwhelming and the food itself was... meh. The bbq sauces were ok. Unfortunately, sauce alone isn't enough to bring me back. I come from Philly and know lots of good bbq. This one didn't size up. read more

Great pulled pork sandwich, cute roadside food truck, we sat down by the creek and ate

Big Creek BBQ Food Truck is located in an empty gravel lot right off the boulevard. The truck itself sits on a concrete pad, so I'm thinking they either own or lease the lot. Anyway, I was in town for a wedding the next day and decided to grab a late lunch here after our drive from NYC. Got the dozen chicken wing special, the half rack of ribs, Mom's Cole Slaw and asked for a sample of all their sauces on the side. Wings were good. My other half though their hot sauce was rather mild. The half rack of ribs were good also. The meat fell right off the bone. I liked them with the BBQ Apple Sauce. Mom's Cole Slaw was good too. No complaints other than the $40.00 price tag (which included a water and a root beer). read more

Lordy they got some good food I love this place I know it's close for the season but you guys got to try this next year. They have the best pulled pork. read more

Absolute the best BBQ I have had in a long time! We saw this food truck on the side of the road with smokers going- best advertising ever! We both had the Monday special- pulled pork sandwich with 1 side and drink. $9 I had the slaw and he had the beans. The sandwich was huge and had a nice semi sweet and spicy sauce on it. Huge amount of meat. The slaw was fresh and delish. Bean were smoky sweet. There are picnic tables but they were wet as it was raining so we ate standing up. I wish there was a place this good to get BBQ near me. read more

Three and a half stars. Ribs are good, rub had some nice flavors that came through. Ribs were fall off the bone style with a nice juice bite. I appreciated that they weren't sauce slathered and you could add your own sauce. Pulled brisket tasted as if it had been steaming for a while after it was pulled off the pit. Likely kept in a covered warming pan. Both chicken and brisket were under-seasoned and bland as a result. Great sauces and a a variety of them. Sides were all good. Service was friendly but have to take a star off for not one employee wearing a mask. I get it. It's hot in there next to the pit - but I wear one at work all day and other restaurants do as well. Some older folks in line that could get really sick. We can all protect each other - no excuses right now. read more

Some of these reviews are way over the top. Best BBQ you've ever had? Best BBQ other than down South? You people need to get out more. Nice little setup in the parking lot of a car wash. If you are very COVID conscious, the first thing you will notice is that not a single employee is wearing a mask. They probably figure, well, we are basically outdoors. Of course, servers at outdoor restaurants wear masks, so that doesn't really fly. Pulled pork was fairly dry. Asked for spicy sauce. There was no kick to it at all. Both the pork and the sauce were pretty bland. The sides were quite good. I got the cole slaw, which was better than average. And the baked beans, which were nice because they had at least four different types of beans in there plus a little hunk of pork. But the sauce they were in tasted like jarred tomato sauce. So, not great. Not horrible. Pretty OK. I would consider trying the brisket or ribs because sometimes places that have not great pulled pork have great brisket. I tend to be generous with online reviews based on a single experience so I might've let them slide into 4 stars, but the maskless staff is just a stupid political statement. You're serving food to people, and most of the customers I saw were kind enough to be masked when ordering. read more

It is terrible, don't go here! I mean it!!! OK, that is not true, I just do not want to wait in line for Sweet Jesus Mother of God great tasting ribs, or share with others, because I am selfish. Keep up the great work. I will be by on 9/8/22 for more Bill from Bethlehem read more

Awesome food! Everything is delicious! Friendly staff! Tables to sit outside, or takeout packaged ready to go! Don't pass up Big Creek BBQ, you're sure to return again and again and again...... read more

We hesitated because of the carwash where the food truck is parked until a local told us it was a must try. So glad we went back. Best bbq on our trip to white water by far. Excellent brisket and RIBS with mouthwatering whiskey heat sauce. If I'd have gone earlier in the trip, I would have come back a couple of more times. Portions were generous and the people are so sweet. I loved the low key atmosphere. read more

We drove 45 minutes to visit Big Creek and it was well worth it!!! We arrived shortly after opening and already had several people waiting on line ahead of us. The ribs were fall off the bone and my husband loved the half pulled chicken and pork sandwich. We both agreed this easily will become a "must visit" spot for us when visiting the Poconos. read more

Trust the reviews! OMG their ribs took me back to North Carolina! They were tasty and fall off the bone. Goes really well with the spicy barbeque sauce. If you are in the area you should definitely stop here. read more

I ate here for the first time today after reading so many amazing Yelp reviews it was a no brainier. And yep...it was really good!! We had tried to order food once before but it was after 6 so there wasn't much left. Also the hours of operation that Yelp has listed tend to vary based upon the weather. Every meat they serve is sooooo tender and melts in your mouth! And the sauces are a perfect pair!! Best place I've found so far for great bbq!!! This will most definitely be my go to place from now on. Brisket was amazing. Tender and still juicy and smoked just right. They use mesquite to smoke their briskets but they use just the right amount because the mesquite isn't overpowering. The pulled pork is mouth watering good. Seasoned perfectly and pairs well with any of their sauces they make. The 50/50 sandwich is the best of both worlds. read more

My wife and I were over in Jim Thorpe for the morning, so we swung towards Lehighton for chow before heading home. (Fewer fellow human beings). We settled on this place because, well, food out of a truck is usually pretty good. My wife went for the 50/50 with the white sauce, and I got a half rack with the spicy sauce. In my unhumble opinions, ribs are easy to mess up. Many times when I get them out, they're dry, chewy, mealy with sauce that's way too sweet. But these get my stamp of approval. When I say I inhaled them, I mean it. They didn't even need the sauce if I'm truly being honest. They were tender and dripping rib juice everywhere. My wife was also very happy with her sandwich. It was overflowing with meat and sauce - so much so we had to bring the rest home. If you're in the area and you smell the smokers going, do yourself a flavor and stop in. Even if you think you're not hungry. Their shirts are right - you can't beat their meat. read more

Hands down best place in the area to get barbecue. I never would have thought that you'd find pork and barbecue that tastes like your in the southern states right here in good old Lehighton. My husband always gets the pulled pork with the Irish whiskey sauce, and I usually get the drumsticks with the apple barbecue sauce. Both are to die for and literally melts in your mouth. The owner truly does know how to do barbecue, and their sides are so yummy! The cole slaw is personally my favorite, and they also have baked beans which is another must! Sometimes they have specials as well, but they sell out really quick so I would go for lunch if you want to see their specials. Also, this is cash only so make sure you hit up an ATM before coming. While this is a food truck stand, they have small seating (a picnic bench) but we usually eat in our car or take it home since we're from the area. If you want melt in your mouth, amazing southern barbecue, then this place is a must on your list! You will never be disappointed! read more

Delicious fresh made barbecue locally. Love it. Everyone is friendly and clean and the food is very good.

Got there late (close to closing) and got a pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich. The pork was very tender and juicy with great flavor. The brisket was very flavorful. The only negative (kinda... I guess it's more just a personal preference) was the brisket was pulled instead of sliced so was stringy and not tender read more

OMGGGGGG-GOODNESS!!!! hands down awesome BBQ brisket, turtle beans, corn bread. Awesome service, good hearted, and generous with servings. Absolute must eat there!! read more

9.1/10.0 Big Creek BBQ is where it's at. I'm not even particularly a fan of the foodtruck fad; I usually prefer a sit-down dining experience. But when I go here, I don't even think "gee I wish I were in a restaurant right now". Best BBQ I've probably ever had in this area. Pulled pork, beef brisket, and 50/50 sandwiches are excellent. And he always has 3 choices of sauce. Sides are solid. Not as familiar with the ribs/chicken options, but the times I've had them, they were good as well. Everything you eat here is done the right way; you can tell that it was hand-smoked/hand-made--the way food should be done. This is probably the best/most exciting lunch/quick food option in the Carbon County area. Big Creek is a Lehighton gem. read more

WOW! Stopped at this charming BBQ food truck with my family this afternoon. Absolutely fantastic food and service. The BBQ sauces are all delicious. We tried each one and none of them disappointed! The spicy BBQ and Carolina white were my favorites if I had to choose. The corn on the cob and corn bread were out of this world! The cole slaw was great too. The owner was extremely personable and made us feel like we were in his home kitchen having lunch. Really great place. Definitely recommend stopping here! read more

One word. AMAZING! This place honestly sets a new bar for BBQ. I don't live local so I'm concerned that I may never eat BBQ this good without driving an hour to get here. We were driving by while in the area headed to hawk mountain for a day hike. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed this cool looking food truck that was open and noticed their smoker. I just knew I had to turn around and try it. After reviewing all of the items on the menu I decided to try the flying pig special. This is a sandwich that has pulled pork and pulled chicken. Upon first bite I realized that this place was legit. The sandwich literally melted in my mouth. The half rack of ribs we got, the meat just fell off the bone. The beans were top notch and the cole slaw... well simply the best cole slaw I've had, this isn't your average slaw. This is fresh veggies that aren't soaked for long periods of time. This is the crunchy slaw that is packed with flavor. I could go on and on... The reality is, if you like BBQ or want some amazing meal, you need to grab a bite to eat here. read more
