Awesome ribs and everything there is delish and fresh. Awesome service They always check your table to see if you need anything else.

The food is excellent.. stopped in on my way thru, first visit and I loved the brisket.. very smoky and tender .. excellent smoke flavor... I was disappointed as I ordered burnt ends which they were out of .. but didn't tell me until they gave me my order .. so they could handle some customer service but overall a good experience read more

I was hoping for good BBQ but it was just meah. The service was good but essentially the food (brisket, potato salad) wasn't that great. I don't know if I would try them again honestly. read more

Delicious brisket! The food was very good, looks like a fairly new building so not much ambiance, give it a year to get some, always a good sign when there's wood piled up outside read more

We did take away--no issues and efficient service. The brisket was solid, would order again. Great sauce too. The sides were better than most bbq places. Recommend the Mac and cheese, beans and slaw. Generous servings and reasonable prices. read more

The food is often cold and its usually hot in there and there's often flys inside and sometimes the mash potatoes are cold

There is great BBQ all over TX, and this is one of the better examples. Stand in line to order from the easiky-read wall menu. We had the Rib Sandwich Plate and a Briscuit Sandwich Plate. Both were tasty, although I was surprised the 'Rib Sandwich' consisted of bone-in ribs with 2 pieces of bread. (Some assembly was required! Hah!) The Potato Salad, Macaroni & Cheese, and Beans - were all fantastic! The Sweet Tea was also good. Hurry on over and try this BBQ! read more

Amazing!!! Our first time in the Big state of Texas and the people here are so welcoming. Thank you Texans We couldn't leave Texas without having BBQ we chose Bodacious and the minute we opened the door we were greeted by a wonderful lady that had a smile from ear to ear. Told her we have never had the BBQ and she gave us suggestions that we took. I ordered the rib plate with beans & potato salad enormous serving ribs fell off the bone with a delicious tangy highway to heaven goodness, I have had beans at other establishments which I will bite my tongue that is overly sweet but here at Bodacious just the right amount of heat, salt & sweet. Potato salad perfection The hubby had brisket sandwich, Cole slaw and green beans I will leave it to your imagination HINT: my husband never stops talking but when he was eating his meal I did not hear a peep... lol I only wish I bought their BBQ sauce but no worries we will be back for good soon Atmosphere, food and staff absolutely wonderful thank you read more

What a fantastic little spot and the staff is incredible. I stopped in passing through today. If I had ordered just the brisket and the ribs, it would have been five stars. Adding the jalapeño sausage brought it down a bit, not that it was terrible. It just was not as good as the rest. The brisket was incredibly moist and very well cut. The ribs were outstanding, and this is coming from a guy who does not really like ribs. They had enough smoke, and they were tender yet not falling apart. The sides were excellent. Also, make sure you try the barbecue sauce. It was delicious. #lowcountrycajun read more

Always good food and great service deff a repeat customer. And they have free ice cream!!

Excellent food! Stopped for lunch today had some chopped brisket and ribs both were exceptional!

This was a phone order for pickup. The staff was really helpful and made the ordering process seamless. Pickup day was busy and that's expected a day before Thanksgiving. Neatly packaged order and friendly staff is a sure win. This was a large family order and Bodacious for the win :) Will I return : For sure! read more

This is place is just off the highway, but sort of tucked away enough that you wouldn't notice it immediately. I've had my fair share of Texan BBQ and I will say that the meats are above average. We got the combo meal with a leaner brisket and spicy sausage links and those were juicy, flavorful, and tender. The brisket was on the drier side, but since we did order lean, I'm sort of letting that slide, especially because their BBQ sauce more than made up for it. I do wish I bought a bottle while I was there because that stuff was decadent. On to the sides... the Mac and cheese was average. Nothing to rave about, same as the green beans. The star of the show was probably the coleslaw which *might* be better than Austin's Rudy's, and that's a coleslaw my family absolutely adores. They also had good pickles (nice and sour) and jalapeños. The kitchen and counter staff were friendly and were able to also provide us plates and pre-wrapped utensils for our takeout meal upon request. I definitely recommend if you're passing through and highly recommend the spicy sausages! read more

This was our "go to" bbq spot until the last visit - quality of meat seems to have slipped - the owner is a nice guy -

Excellent bbq and wonderful service by friendly staff! I would highly recommend the ribs and the cobbler!

I stopped in near the end of the business day, which I hate doing, but couldn't have felt more welcomed! EVERYTHING was FANTASTIC, but the broccoli casserole...WOW! That, I'll be ordering EVERY TIME!! read more

Pretty good chopped brisket sandwich and blackberry cobbler Service is fast and easy And the atmosphere is relaxed read more

I fell for it. The signs along the highway put a taste in my mouth for BBQ and I convinced all (including me) that we wanted to go here for lunch. It is not too far off the interstate and during mid afternoon, not crowded at all. The Manager was off by the entry way as we walked in and gave us a Howdy and welcome from his chair. He jolted the staff into action and we placed our order for their fixins. I had a brisket sandwich, beans, tater salad and peach cobbler. My friend had the stuffed tater. Sorry y'all, I was slipping back into East Texasese. The iced tea was fresh and strong. The brisket was good, although a little drier than I like so I used quite a bit of BBQ sauce. The sauce was in a warming pan so dousing the sandwich kept the temperature of the meat right where it should be to maximize the flavor of the sauce, smoke and fat. The flavors were sweet and slightly tangy. The smoke was deep in the meat and left you with the wood's flavor in every bite. The beans were really good and cooked just right. The potato salad was fresh and tangy. The cobbler, well, my waistline didn't need it and it was too gooey for my likes although I bet there are many that love it that way. My friend's potato was not done and rather firm on the ends. The meat in it was okay but she used a lot of BBQ sauce to compensate. The service was really good! read more

Bodacious has been an established business for at least 30 years. They are very community minded and support local charitable causes. Food: Brisket is the best I've ever had. My favorite is chopped brisket sandwich. Ribs are delicious and almost but not quite fall off the bone. I do wish they would do something a little different with the sides. They are just ok. Service: this is an order at the counter service. Food is always served very quickly and hot. Building is always clean and tidy. I have some serious brand loyalty as I have been eating here often ever since they opened. Soulman opened right across the street but the portions are smaller and more expensive. (But they do have better sides, I admit) so I just always go to Bodacious. This is a 2nd generation business and they are the nicest people. read more

Traveling thru and decided on BBQ... the pulled pork had great flavor and smoke and the BBQ sauce was great. Blackberry cobbler was tasty. The service was fast and friendly. I'm knocking down stars because they could work on their sides. The Mac and cheese was overcooked and had a grainy texture. Green beans tasted like they came right out of a can. read more

Good food, courteous staff! Nice, casual dining area and clean. Ribs were delicious and grandson loved his chili pie concoction.

Fantastic ribs and brisket. Super friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Luckily close to the freeway.

This restaurant was beyond a let down. All the reviews raved about it so we were excited to try it out. Unfortunately all the food was EXTREMELY bland. The ribs were 'decent' but the brisket had no flavor at all. The mac and cheese was just noodles and melted cheese. No seasoning or anything just were gross. The only positive was the service. Customer service was good. read more

Best ribs! Yum!! Friendly and pleasant place to eat at or order to go. Been getting food there for years!

Nice staff, good food, hometown ambiance. Would recommend for someone looking for a quick snack or longer meal.

Stopped in for a quick dinner while passing through. This place has great prices and the chopped beef sandwich tastes amazing!

I was in town for the night and was craving bbq, and my coworker suggested this place. Love the small town feel as you walk in and are greeted. Ordered a two meat plate with brisket and sausage with a baked potato. Also added beans and blackberry cobbler. Have to say meats were good, above average. The beans were really good as well. Oh and the cobbler!! The cobbler was pretty dang good!! The potato was dry and bland. I tried to saturate it in butter and all the fixings, but didn't improve the flavor. That being said I'll definitely go back here because the majority of my order was fantastic. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area. read more

Bodacious Bar-B-Q - ows a plate of food on a table - Barbeque Near Me - Sulphur Springs, Texas

This restaurant has a large menu of meats, portion sizes and side dishes that go well with BBQ meals. I had a mixed sandwich of pork and chicken and green beans. I also got the broccoli casserole but wished I got the Mac n cheese instead. My husband and grandson loved their food too. The staff is friendly and the service was fast. The array of sauces should please anyone. read more

Drove from Chicago and wanted to find a good BBQ place on the way to Dallas and this place didn't disappoint! We tried the brisket, ribs, sausage and pulled pork. They didn't even need sauce they were so delicious on their own! The sides of potato salad, slaw, baked beans and mac & cheese were just as good, along with some cherry cobbler! The staff was so friendly and the owner Jay was the nicest guy as well! Next time we are back in the Dallas area, we will definitely be back! read more

Pretty good for such a small establishment, I enjoy the service and the design is endearing. I would recommend it to any barbecue fans in the Sulphur Springs area! read more

Got stuck in this town thanks to the freeway closing for ice or something, and this place was close to my hotel. The other reviewers are right...this place is good! They were out of chicken so I got turkey. Super moist and flavorful. The sauce was excellent. Mashed taters were smooth and creamy. If I'm ever stuck in the middle of NE Texas again I will definitely return. read more

Amazing first time lunch experience! They get 5 stars for having diet Dr Pepper! Right off the highway and easy to find. Got out to go order within ten minutes! Really enjoyed my chopped pork sandwich with amazing potato salad and the spicy baked beans were so delicious! Highly recommend this! Slap my saddle it's good eatin'!!!! Great bbq sauce and nice friendly service! Not to keen on their artificially banana flavored banana pudding with no real bananas but everything else was awesome! Thank you read more

We randomly stopped here for lunch while in town. We sure are glad we did. The food was delicious. The only negative was it's a little pricy and the kids meal doesn't come with any sides only chips. Other than that it was good. We will return. read more

Bodacious Bar-B-Q - Brisket with potato salad and baked beans! - Barbeque Near Me - Sulphur Springs, Texas

Super barbecue restaurant. They're doing everything right. They smoke their meats with real hardwood. you can see stacked outside. Friendly service. We've visited a lot of barbecue joints over the last week in our travels and this one is the best. read more

Meh. Definitely won't be back. There are better options than this for BBQ. I got the sliced brisket, potato (loaded), and a side of green beans. - The brisket was dry and no flavor. - The potato was just okay, should have been cooked longer. And you have to make it the way you want. They bring two little prepackaged butter packets, prepackaged sour cream, prepackaged IMITATION bacon bits, and a little thing of cheese. A little confused don't you have meat already? So why do fake bacon? - Green beans no flavor there either. Husband got the ribs and sliced brisket. He said the ribs were "ok". The total was $30+ for the two of us. Which is just a bit outrageous for what you are getting. The quality of the food, you bus your own table, and eat off styrofoam plates with plastic ware. We can say we tried it and that box has been checked. read more

Friendly and hospitable restaurant. If you want a quiet place to go with space to breathe, this is the place. I like coming here because there's a lot of space for my family to just relax and not worry about other people bothering us. The prices are average for bbq plates. Brisket is amazing. Wish it were just a tad more moist. But overall great food. Standard bbq sides. The banana pudding is delicious! The only other thing I wish was that they put their pickles, onions, out for you to put on your plate. I always forget to ask for pickles. But other than that on point place for BBQ. read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat. I had the daily special of bbq sausage with baked pinto beans and macaroni salad. Also had a half rack of ribs. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was clean and very inviting. The staff was very nice and polite. Keep up the strong work Bodacious Bar-B-Q read more

I was headed to South Texas and Sulfur Springs was my halfway point, After checking into the hotel I went looking for food, saw their sign from the street and pulled in. It was early evening on a Tuesday but even so, seeing no customers didn't look promising. But I thought, its Texas, Its BBQ, how bad can it be? Given the price, I assumed the sandwiches would be on a small hamburger bun, so I ordered both brisket and pulled pork and a small side of spicy beans. All to go. As it turned out the sandwiches were large, probably 1/2 lb each, so a great value for the money. I had BBQ for breakfast. The meat was excellent, as were the beans. It was the sauce that they put in the sack that was strange, not at all what I would expect from Texas. It was like I was transported to New England and the land of the bland. Almost no spices in it, vinegar sugar and a little tomato paste. If they had left out the tomato, it was North Carolina style. To recap, the beans were great, as was the meat, enjoyable and well worth every cent I paid, just next time I'm bringing some Gates sauce from Kansas City with me. ; ) read more
