This was the cutest little place in the middle of nowhere. We were on the road for work and heading back came across this place and had to stop. I mean BBQ and donuts.... Yes please. We got the cheeseburger and it was absolutely delicious. You can taste the homemade. Then we got the bear claw donut, delicious apple stuffed donut. We would stop by again if we pass this place again read more

Big John’s BBQ & Donuts - Cute little eatery - Donuts Near Me - Bonifay, Florida

The smash burgers AND the donuts are fantastic! Just go early if you want your choice of donuts because they tend to run out of my favorites by 9 am. Very limited seating and often a line out the door. read more

Wow! All I can say is the smash burger is so delicious even had a side of Mac and cheese. This place doesn't disappoint at all. The guys are super nice and very helpful. Can't wait till I can pickup my Boston butt and whole smoked chicken. read more

Stopped by this place to see what the big deal was about as they were PACKED, found out they are well known for having great donuts. Their BBQ and smashed burgers looked pretty good, however someone should spell check their board lol. In seriousness their donuts are next level, staff is super helpful and they have great BBQ and a super local vibe. Not a lot of indoor seating but they make up for it in outdoor tables. read more

Big John’s BBQ & Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Bonifay, Florida

Stopped at Big John's BBQ near the interstate and it did NOT disappoint. The burgers and fries were so good! It's not fancy, but that's not the point...you're there for the food and the people, both of which delivered. Love supporting a veteran-owned spot too. And those donuts?? I didn't try one, but wow...they looked dangerously good. read more

For openers, if you think the best barbecue is usually found in the worst part of town, in a place with bars on the windows, and just enough grease on the table to write your initials - then this isn't it. If, on the other hand, you think you can find some great barbecue in a small shack on a highway leaving Florida in the shadow of Alabama, then this isn't it either. What this is, is a local entrepreneur's effort to lure people into his business with a sign that touches too many bases to do any of them well. The sign says Big Johns Barbecue, ice cream and donuts. They're on the highway in Bonifay, Florida. For a guy who has spent a lifetime in pursuit of the perfect barbecue (read my more than 135 barbecue reviews from across the country on Yelp), the sign was too good to be true. There was a world class barbecue joint in Peoria, Illinois, named Big John's Barbecue. It became very apparent the two Big Johns weren't related. First off, the only barbecue the Bonifay Big Johns had that day was pulled pork. No ribs, no brisket, no chicken, no sausage, just pulled pork - so then you know what the Brown Shoe Gourmet ordered: a pulled pork sandwich with a couple donuts for dessert, Out of donuts. First the positive (the one): the sandwich was big, the meat piled high. Now the bad news, it was bland, no flavor from the meat or the sauce. The server explained "it came from the bottom of the pan - we're almost out"). Hot dogs. Big Johns Barbecue also sells hot dogs. We switched and tried one of Big John's hot dogs, which came with catsup, mustard, and onions, and tasted a lot like a hot dog with catsup and mustard and onions. Then there are the sides: potato salad with bits of cardboard crisp bacon (fair to middlin'), seasoned fries (didn't try them) and baked beans that tasted as though they were doctored as they came out of can . Everything served in one of those to-go Styrofoam gizmos that made it easy to pitch the bland pulled pork without drawing attention. The sign said that "Big John's Barbecue was where great food and sweet treats come together for an unforgettable meal." Isn't there a law about false advertising? Big John, one of the servers told us, also has a donut shop and I'm hoping for his sake, his donuts are better than the barbecue we tried. To be fair, the three young men servers, were friendly, eager to please but obviously handicapped not having but one kind of barbecue to offer and that was from the bottom of the pan. One Star. And that's being generous. read more

Stopped by to check out their donuts as we were passing through and we got a chocolate eclair with custard filling and a large cup of coffee to go. My wife and I thought that was the best eclair we've had. And the coffee was very good. The young lady who took my order was very pleasant to deal with, and the service was fast. The ambience was what you would expect when you look at the outside of the building. Nothing fancy, but very functional. read more

Just stopped in the other day to try a couple of donuts. They were amazing, fresh and so tasty!! It takes a lot to wow me for donuts..most are just sugary stale and boring.

I saw a sign for Big John's BBQ & Donuts. It was early and we stopped by for donuts. We bought a half dozen and some of them the key lime filled and frosted. Oh, my gosh! Delicious! They are generously sized and you don't have to wonder where the filling is. They have a unique option and the traditional flavors are also good. Worth the stop! read more

Donuts are great, no preservatives. Yummy!! Donut holes and twists are my favorite. Just hit 10,000 mark served for their made-to-order their Smash Burgers ... and they are even better (I know, right) than the donuts. Heard great things about the Sunday Chicken & Dumplings, wings, tenders and meatloaf. I will they them if I can keep from ordering the Smash Burger!! read more

Great food great people! A wonderful hole in the wall BBQ place! Definitely try the pulled pork sandwich and seasoned fries!
