One bite of potato salad mush, few if any potato pieces, yuck. One bite of some oddly spiced luke warm beans. One bite of the sloppy Joe (not sloppy it was the texture of something like previously chewed mush) GROSS, it was the special and can't for the life of me figure out who would like anything here. Service was quick, however the staff was just being teens serving up likely and hopefully my worst meal of 2026. There were ginormous bowls of jalapeño and pickles and onion slices to grab, why ya need so many??? read more

Good BBQ, but expensive. Brisket and Ribs are very tender. The chicken has a great grilled flavor. Sandwiches have a good amount of meat.

Good spicy food. Highly recommended the ribs and sloppy joe(which was actually a pulled pork). Only thing kids could eat was the Mac and cheese. Half chicken was literally a chicken cut down the middle lol. Was super spicy. read more

Food is good but smaller portions for the high price. Henderson has a couple different options for bbq same price better portion sizes

Best bodacious in the area. Meat was juicy, not dry. Service was fast and friendly.

Stopped in for lunch on our way driving from Georgia to Texas. My husband and I both had chopped beef sandwiches. Absolutely delicious! Great customer service as well! read more

The sliced beef is tender and delicious, the chopped beef is good but has more fat than I like. We usually take ours home, but dining in is also nice. The potato salad and beans are good. The prices seem a bit high, but barbecue usually is. read more

Consistently very good barbecue never been disappointed, I'm not sure if it's the best in Texas but I will always eat it and for a chain operation very commendable read more

You don't charge people that are paying over 100.00 dollars a debit fee! I hope the owner goes bankrupt. They are overcharging for the amount of food you get and if you don't ask for jalapeños,onions and pickles you won't get them. read more

Very good barbecue. Extremely clean and inviting. The sides were very good as well. They could stand to smoke their meats a little bit longer but they were tender and flavorful. The sloppy Joe's are seriously outstanding and they only cost $1.50 on Wednesdays. read more

Chicken was very dry. Served w plain bread. Potato salad not good. Super disappointing stop while driving through Texas.

Cashier was nice and polite. The person working in the kitchen was a smart-_$$. They would not stay out of the ordering process. Every time as cashier asked a question for ordering process, they would mouth off from the back. The food has small amounts, over priced and dry. They needed to hand out water bottle is how dry it was. Terrible food that will give you diarrhea. Stay away from this place. read more

Customer service was non existent. Food would have been flavorless if it wasn't for the onions and Jalapeno's.

This is a great place to eat if you want some good barbecue ( I do recommend getting the bodacious sauce)

I'm very picky about BBQ ribs after having the best ones in my life in Alabama, but these ribs are amazing!! Tried the sausage and brisket and both were good aswell. I would definitely recommend this place in Henderson. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Good food great for catering parties and family gatherings, love the smell when you go in , great portions of food

We stoped here on our way to Houston Texas from Memphis Tennessee and if I must say so the hot link ranks number 2 best I ever had . The ribs were to die for I had a sandwich and it came just how I wanted it ribs and link on the same plate . Yes Yes yes . The ribs was four 4 bones in a sandwich order and the link on the side was the perfect combo . Their brisket looked good along with their chopped shoulder sandwich . Every time I'm in their neck of the woods I will be stopping . #RealTexasBBQ read more

Stopped in for dinner while passing through Henderson. Had the beef brisket and sausage plate with potato salad and beans. Sausage, taters, and beans all had great flavor, but the brisket had very little flavor and required sauce. The brisket seemed to be cooked correctly, was fairly moist, and was not tough at all - just had no flavor. Service by the staff was friendly enough. Will try the sloppy joe on next stop. read more

Nice, very clean restaurant. Polite staff. Good beef barbecue--chopped beef sandwich had ample, un-sauced meat. BBQ sauce was a delicious vinegar-based, peppered drench. read more

We were just passing through and found this place on yelp and I'm glad we did! I got a chopped beef sandwich and my fiancé got a sausage sandwich, both were delicious!! The BBQ sauce was really good too! read more

This Bodacious location is top notch! Meat is perfectly smoked, the sides are more options than some of the other Bodacious. Super friendly staff! Jason the owner has done a fine job keeping up such a beautiful modern Bodacious location kudos! read more

After reading the reviews for the sister locations, I decided to try this one for lunch while in Henderson on business. This must be a distant cousin because the only thing I found outstanding was the cole slaw and beans. I had the 3 meat plate with sausage, ham and ribs. The ribs were really over salted and the ham was dry. The sausage was OK, but so is Hillshire which is available in HEB. The sauce was OK, but not enough to make up for the poor meat quality. OK for a chain BBQ place, but I expected better. read more

Love this place when I'm in East Texas. The brisket is great and the ribs are my favorite. Normally buy by the pound and take home. The sides are good but nothing really stood out to be great. read more

Wayne the bar b que is just ok I am a native Texan and i have had BETTER beside food way to over price for the quality of food. Service is just ok overall very small portion on the barbque plates if you do not believe me get the 17.99 plate that is for one person you can imagine that time two. Was not satisfied at all thank you very much read more

Not great, not bad. Just good. Meat was tender but bland. Brisket was dry. Didn't care for their sauce. Coleslaw very good.

Bodacious is always good. I really like their chicken because it is spicy. Sausage and turkey are very good also. I would give the meats 4-5 stars and the sides 2-3 stars. read more

Thought it was pretty good! Meats good. Potato salad was excellent! Like how they keep the bbq sauce in a warmer! Friendly service and well maintained facilities. read more

My husband had the beef briquette and said it was the best he has had at a restaurant. I had the sloppy joe that was the best ever. The baked beans and potato salad were okay. read more

The food was good the price was a little more than I though it should have been. The service was fast

Just a quick in and out, was very good, clean, and lady was extremely nice. I will definitely be back as it was exactly what I was hungry for. It was a bit on the expensive side, but really good. read more

A great BBQ joint. Fairly priced. Good service. Good cuts of meat. Nothing wrong with this choice.

This place has ok bbq but way too pricey for what you get . For the price you pay it should be more than ok. I'm glad I don't like it because I can't afford it. read more

Great food, friendly service. Maybe the best ribs anywhere including KC and Memphis. Brisket was very good but I knocked them to a 4 star due to the hot links. They were good but not spectacular and I love really good hot links. read more

Very good Barbecue. Nice and clean establishment. Sandwiches are really good and love the coleslaw.
