    A true taste of West Texas Americana!  Don't miss it!
    David P.

    Very good BBQ, and great folks serving it! Had the brisket, brown beans (like grandma used to make), and potato salad. Brisket was very good. Nice bark, little tough but still tasty. And the beans and potato salad were spot on. Visited with the owner for a minute, nice guy, and a clientele representative of West Texas!!! Will definitely make the stop next time business takes me to San Angelo...give it a try! True taste of Texas Americana...

    Big O's Restaurant and Real Texas Bar B Q Valera, Texas. Awesome. Remote location but always packed at Lunch!

    I have eaten here for years when travelling between Brownwood & San Angelo. Forget Underwood so-called barbecue and keep driving. This is real Texas Barbecue smoked, sliced and served by Big O himself. They also have other things like burgers and Texas Chicken - fried steak but I can't pass on the fabulous brisket. Definitely great for dine-in or take-out. This is one of those legendary joints with a less-than-ideal location but worth discovering.

    Amazing little hole-in-the wall! Great BBQ, great atmosphere, friendly staff. We will catch this place every time we can! Do not pass up....

    Brisket sandwich was great! Was passing by and was recommended by coworker. Highly recommend the coconut dessert.

    My corn hole will NEVER be the same. Mesquite burnt BBQ pretty much sums it up. Bring your Charmin
