Otis, the owner is a joy to talk to. I did have a long wait but talking to Otis the whole was very enjoyable. When I got home and discovered my beans and mac and cheese were not in the bag Otis drove them right over We tried everything on the menu except the 2 things you have to order in advance. I loved the sausage and mac and cheese and the beans are amazing! The slaw was good but needed salt and the pork and chicken were moist and flavorful. Very good and the only good BBQ in the area. I would skip the peach cobbler next time. Not inly was it too sweet( not something I ever experienced before) But it was just a wet sloppy mess when we tried it to go. There was no cobbler part to find from the steam I guess. Should be refrigerated before putting in a container. read more

Excellent Texas bbq!! We've been here quite a number of times and the food is consistently great. We usually have the brisket platter with 2 sides ... you don't even need to put on the bbq sauce because the meat is so flavorful. Cole slaw is great and the peach cobbler is out-of-this world! We met Otis ( Big "O") and he is obviously very passionate about his food. He shared with us that he grew up in Texas smoking meat and bbq-ing. He gave us a sample of his ribs and we're coming back for those. If you're in the area ... stop by. read more

Lovely people, but this is the worst barbecue I've ever tasted. I ordered a brisket plate and literally every piece was 50% fat. Not marbled fat - just a big ol' fat wad accounting for 50% of the slice. The non-fat 50% was as dry as boot leather. Ridiculous. Your rub should not be "black pepper, and more black pepper, and more black pepper." I like black pepper as much as the next guy, but I've never had as much in my mouth as this place offers. The owner told me he came up from Texas. My guess is he was banished for crimes against meat. When ordering a plate, you get two sides. Cornbread is not an option. (Weird.) I got peach cobbler and it was fine. Cole slaw was okay, but lacking seasoning. Mac and cheese was not my cup of tea, but it wasn't inedible. It's fitting that Big O's is in the same building as a funeral services company because this is the place where barbecue comes to die. read more

Waited at front counter for someone to provide service for several minutes. You'd think with other people eating in the restaurant at the same time counter service would be present. read more

Went here because I had received a coupon in the mail . The food was amazing! Best bbq I have ever had ! Ottis the owner explained everything on the menu. He was very knowledgeable about what was on the menu. He was also very friendly and outgoing . We had the chicken, pulled pork and ribs with the 4 sides . He explained to us that everything was made in house which was a bonus and everything was made that day . Everything tasted fresh. The service was also amazing we were updated on how long our food would take and when it would be ready . I highly recommend this restaurant. Run don't walk to get yourself some authentic Texas bbq read more

Just discovered BiG Os today! The only regret is that we didn't find it sooner. We had sausage plate and chicken plate and all the sides. And Otis (Big O) gave us a sample of their brisket chili. Everything was awesome. Do NOT skip the peach cobbler. We will be back soon! read more

Ribs and Brisket were good! We also tried the Mac and Cheese and Peach Cobbler. The flavor had a nice kick to it! read more

Food is amazing something we dont have a lot of, the beans are AAAAMAAAZINGGG! cornbread as well! you can never go wrong with whatever you pick. Owner and Staff amazing people! read more

Went to Big Os twice in a week with a friend and had the brisket sandwich. On the first visit, the sandwich was excellent. However on the second visit the brisket sandwich was about half fat. After extracting most of the big chunks of fat, there wasn't much meat left. My friends chicken sandwich was good from the first visit, but on 2nd visit had the sausage sandwich which wasn't very flavorful. So, this place can be hit or miss. The restaurant itself was neat and clean. read more

Big O's Texas BBQ - Excess fat from brisket sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Waterford, Wisconsin

Service was top notch. The owner, Otis, came out to talk to us since we have never been there before. Nothing better than southern hospitality! My husband and I both had brisket and sausage. Both were generous portions with lots of flavor. Great BBQ in Waterford. Give them a try, you wont be disappointed! read more

Friendly, engaging staff! Nice dining area. Otis the owner was so kind! The food was fast, fresh and delicious!! My husband & I highly recommend visiting Big O's!! It is truly a hidden gem!! Can't wait to try more off the menu!! read more

Ordered the brisket sandwich, once you removed the fat there was not enough meat to make a sandwich with my very thin smooched bun. Got the ribs , 4 small ribs and one rib only had a little piece of meat. The mac and cheese is just buttered noodles with some kind of seasoning sprinkled on it. Where's the cheese ! This is Wisconsin, we know cheese and there was none. Coleslaw had almost a grey hue. i think it was old. So for 50 bucks 2 people are left hungry. It was hot at least. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! read more

Excellent dry rub Texas BBQ. Best in the area! The owner, Big O himself, was very warm, welcoming, and answered any questions. Encouraged us to try things we didn't order and offered samples of them. Truly delicious food! read more

Big O's Texas BBQ - Peach cobbler, coleslaw, Mac n cheese, brisket, pulled pork corn bread. All delicious! - Barbeque Near Me - Waterford, Wisconsin

The workers here are lovely, but the food is just not good. We waited 45 minutes for our food and paid $45 for 2 people. We each got 2 ribs with barely any meat on them, and a small fatty pile of pork. The only sauce was bottled sweet baby rays, which was a let down since most BBQ places make their own sauces. The peach cobbler used canned peaches and was cold, and the coleslaw was hot, I think they had it too close to the heat lamp. Truly wanted to like this, but it was really bad. The whole place could also use a good deep clean, especially the back kitchen we entered through accidentally (the signs point to the rear of the building to enter.) read more

Great little place,big on flavor! BBQ was fantastic. You definitely will feel full after your meal

Found Big O's by chance. Nice atmosphere, and the bbq pork was terrific, Smoked bbq beans tasty, and finished it off with a peach cobbler. Otis..Big O....owner talked about his history, and even showed us his place of business...super nice guy!!! Will definitely be back soon. Go get some great food!! read more

Big O's Texas BBQ - Sign for Big O's - Barbeque Near Me - Waterford, Wisconsin

Ample seating, fair prices, and quick service. Had the sausage tonight and it was fabulous!

Been there twice in the last few months. I'm gonna go again. I can't believe this place is located in Waterford. I had the chicken yesterday (and leftovers today) and it has a smoky flavor. I also sampled the sausage and it's delicious. Just go, trust me. Texas Style Barbecue. Meaning, not drenched in sauce. read more

Outstanding authentic Texas style BBQ brisket and ribs!! Tender, moist, and deep with true smoked flavor!! My husband considers himself a sausage enthusiast and said Otis's sausage is the best he's ever tasted! We sampled his baked beans and Loved the true smokiness of these too!! We met and chatted with Otis - what a genuinely friendly and knowledgeable guy! We highly recommend checking out Big O's if you're looking for the real thing without the summer Texas heat! read more

Service was great. Food was not good. The ambiance was dead. This is my honest review; I was here a couple of months ago after a cheer competition. I doubt anything has changed. read more

Excellent. Had this BBQ at a local pub in Burlington WI. Their pulled pork sandwiches had a smoky flavor. Peach cobbler was very fruity and lovely. Exactly what you should want in a barbecue sandwich. The portions were also very satisfying! 10/10 read more

Service was fantastic, and the food came quickly. However, I thought the sausage sandwich was on the bland side-2.6/5

The food is truly Texas barbecue. It's difficult to find such authentic Texas brisket in the Midwest. Big O's has done it. Brisket is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Portions are Texas size and you will not be hungry when you leave. Service is the best. We went late and the place was jumping. read more

Brisket was very good. Ribs were tough. Peach cobbler was awesome. Cole slaw very good. Beans w brisket meat excellent! But what killed the whole experience for me was their main bbq sauce is Sweet Baby Rays. That's like an authentic Mexican restaurant serving ketchup to put on your tacos. Owner was very nice and I would like to see them succeed. But some clues that they didn't really know "Texas style" were evident and I would suggest they actually visit Texas. read more

Tried Big O's for the first time yesterday & was very wowed! Service was top tier, as the employees were exceptionally kind and friendly. When we parked at the wrong entrance, an employee directed us through the building and made lovely conversation with us. He even offered us drinks on the house. The inside of the building was painted with awesome murals. I can't wait to go back and sit inside next time, as we had to take the food home for carry out. Food was delicious, especially the brisket sandwich! Will definitely be recommending this place to friends!! read more

I got their meaty Mac and that stuff hit my stomach like a freight train. It was the best pork I've ever had. Staff is amazing. Coming back for sure. The place is very clean and inviting. read more

The atmosphere was nice the food was fairly expensive for what you got. I only had the brisket and whenever I would eat it it would taste like I ate a mouth full of pepper I'm not sure if that's his signature rub but I wasn't a fan it was too much pepper. But there is definitely room for improvement I would try it again. read more

Delicious smoked ribs, beans, and Mac and cheese! We really enjoyed the service at Low Daily! Delicious BBQ

We stopped by for lunch, Otis is the owner along with his wife. They are both very kind, and take time to speak with you to get to know you. We had the sampler platter (brisket, chicken and sausage), it was all great but the sausage is fantastic (he orders it from Texas). The sides were great as well. Fathers Day we ordered and tray of beans and peach cobbler and everyone loved them both! read more

Phenomenal food!! The owner Otis was so friendly and personable. Food was so fresh and flavorful. Definitely will be back!! We had the brisket sandwich, pulled pork, baked beans, and smoked wings. Amazing!!! read more

Hidden gem and great staff!! Offered samples of whatever we liked. Ribs were sold out so we will be back. Got the brisket and sausage. Coleslaw was honestly the best coleslaw I have ever had. read more

We got Big O's at Low Daily in Burlington and it was amazing. Real smoky flavor to all their meets and Big O is a super nice guy!
