    Big Jim himself
    Ward K.

    We drove by Big Jim's BBQ and saw people waiting in line at this lunch truck and wondered how it tasted. One day we were thinking of where to eat at so I suggested that we try out Big Jim's BBQ. We drove into that big lot and as soon as we opened the car door, we smelled that wonderful aroma of BBQ. Our mouths were watering. As we were looking at the menu, Big Jim himself came up to us. He is a really nice and friendly guy. He explained the menu to us and we placed our order. We got our food and took it back to our place. We got the ribs and the brisket. They both had a nice smokey taste and a nice sauce. My ribs were a little bit dry but the brisket was nicely done. So if you are hungering to put some Southern BBQ in your mouth, stop by and see Big Jim and his crew and get some tasty meat in your mouth!

    The glory of Big Jim's Big Smoker
    Josh K.

    Stopping at Big Jim's is an experience. You've got the big smoker on the corner to draw you in and, once you're there, the friendly, personable, and engaging character that is Big Jim. This man and his crew seem do a great job of engaging every guest that stops by. The BBQ is good, certainly not the best I've had but definitely not the worst. I had the ribs, pulled pork,and brisket. The pork wasn't pulled, but rather chopped. The meats are well smoked but I feel like mine were pulled from the smoker prior to my arrival and had been resting for a little longer than I want for the price I paid. The sauce is tasty but not to my liking (I like to think I'm most picky about my sauce when going to any BBQ joint). It is thick, which is nice, but cinnamon is the most prevalent flavor. Finally, my two sides were fantastic. Beans and potato salad were on point, and top quality. It is relatively expensive but they are not shy with the portions, so I think it's worth it. Overall, I recommend stopping by and trying it. BBQ is unique in that there really is no standard way to measure "great" BBQ---people enjoy different style and what I find good, you may find great.

    Brisket

    I had high hopes for the bbq after seeking the giant smoker and meeting owner Jim who spoke with a genuine southern drawl. I ordered brisket, specifying a moist (fatty) cut. The brisket was not particularly moist; it was a bit chewy; and it came drenched in a sauce. Good smoky flavor, however. I hope to give a better rating when I try the ribs.

    I give 4.5 stars for Big Jim. He has been in business I think for 18 years. He is doing something right to be a vendor on the corner this long. He is extremely friendly to everyone. We had the rack of spare ribs, sausage (spicy goodness), and beans & potato salad. There is a lot of meat on the ribs and the wood smoke flavor is amazing. We have lived in Parker for 8 years and this our first time trying him. If you live in Parker, you know where he is located and have smelled the aroma on the weekends. He does accept credit cards. He also played in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons back in the day.

    This is one of our favorite "rib joints". I love the smokiness that sinks into the meat and the peach pie can't be beat!

    Service was amazing can't complain about that at all. But the food in the other hand, the ribs were…read morefall off the bone which was nice but they were really small ribs. I had the brisket as well but the brisket seemed to have no flavor at all on it. I'm more of the type of person if you have to out some type of sauce on your bbq it's not seasoned correctly. The jalapeño and cheese sausage was okay just seemed like store bought jalapeño cheese sausage honestly. On top of it most of the food wasn't warm/hot at all it was more like room temp for everything. I was really disappointed because I'm not from around here and everyone said this is the best place to go around this area.

    I have driven past this place many times and finally decided to give it a shot. My partner and I…read morewere pleasantly surprised. The bar area is decked out in sports memorabilia and old school sports equipment. It looked pretty clean to me as well. Our server was great! He was prompt and friendly. We ordered off of the protein power part of the lunch menu. It includes a salad and either a full rack of ribs or a plate with pulled pork, bbq chicken breast and chopped beef brisket. I got the kale salad and my partner got the Caesar salad. The kale was tasty and I definitely want to go try recreating it. My partner enjoyed his Caesar salad. I got the full rack of ribs which I'll probably get next time too, unless we go for the prime rib lol my partner enjoyed the three meat plate, we did share and I prefer the ribs. We will definitely be back, in my opinion I feel like the prices are reasonable for what you receive. This spot is worth a visit!
