This place is a gem!!! And definitely a new contender for some of what I feel is best bbq in town…read more We came here after we found the place we initially intended to go no longer operating on Wednesdays. Honestly pretty glad for that inconvenience, because it brought us to Barbeque Heaven! There's not a ton of parking, so come in a smaller car if you can. The inside is just a couple of tables and booths with plastic table coverings on them and you order at the counter. You can smell the smoke as you walk up and it smells delicious! I got the impression the man working the register was perhaps the owner. He was very kind, patient, and excited to share with us about their product. He had a good sense of humor and a warm laugh. My mom and I both got the lunch special -- a bbq sandwich with one side and a drink. The price was right and the portions were generous. We both got pulled pork on our sandwiches. I got French fries and she got macaroni and cheese so we could both try each. We also got to sample all three sauces: white sauce, slightly spicy, thinner red sauce, and thicker, sweet red sauce. Honestly, everything we ate was great. The pork was super tender, just smoky enough, and not at all fatty/greasy/gristly (which is my preference by a mile). Good ratio of burnt ends, too. My /only/ very minor critique is that the buns smelled a little weird. Idk if it was the bag they were stored in or what, lol. But they didn't taste weird at all, and their texture was pleasant, so not a huge deal at all. The French fries probably weren't fresh cut, but they were freshly fried, nice and crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside, with some flavorful seasoning coating the exterior. No ketchup needed! The macaroni and cheese was creamy and flavorful, with some crispy cheese on top. We took a combo home for my dad and got him some fried okra; I stole a couple pieces and it, too, was delicious! Flavorful breading and perfectly crispy. Lastly, I nabbed a slice of their obviously homemade red velvet cake. I was too full to eat it til after dinner, haha. The crumb was absolutely perfect - super moist and delicate. The cream cheese icing was, as expected, sweet! But it wasn't crazy sweet and the chopped pecans added a really nice new textural element. This place is well worth the drive if you don't live nearby. I know I'll be looking for excuses to head out their way in the future to get some more delicious bbq.

Big Bob Gibson is known for winning the Memphis in May BBQ contest. 5 Grand Championship trophies…read moreand more than 13 first place finishes for pork shoulder. I have been eating Big Bob's BBQ my whole life. The quality and taste of the pork shoulder, smoked chicken, and Brunswick stew I recently purchased was very very disappointing. We ordered 2 pounds of pork shoulder. The meat had no taste. I couldn't detect hickory smoke. The pork was burnt and very fatty. The accompanying vinegar based sauce was not seasoned like previous times. Basically it was vinegar with little seasoning. 1/5 The smoked chicken, my favorite, was dry. I wondered if it was leftover from the previous day. The seasoning wasn't very good. 2/5 The Brunswick stew was not good. The recipe has changed. It tasted sweet which was off putting. I do not remember Brunswick stew tasting sweet. The quart of stew had 10 tiny pieces of potato and a few corn kernels. I saw some pork meat floating in a strange red colored broth. I remember when stewed tomatoes were in the stew. Not anymore. The soupy stew did not taste very good. 2/5 The potato with pulled pork was ok. The sauce given was a thin vinegar base that had little seasoning. The potato was the best thing I ate from Big Bob's. 3/5 I am thoroughly disappointed with the quality and taste of Big Bob's pulled pork, smoked chicken and Brunswick stew. I will return again. It will be a while though. I can't get this visit out of my head. This feels like a bad Twilight Zone episode. I really have enjoyed the foods from here in the past. Sadly, not this time. 2/5

Tried Blue Oak BBQ for the first time and was really excited to check it out. It was pretty busy…read morewhen I went, but I was still able to find seating easily, and the place had a nice ambiance with both indoor and outdoor options. The service was good, nothing to rave about but everyone was nice. The food, though, didn't quite meet my expectations. The brisket was a bit dry, the tri tip was somewhat chewy, and the mac and cheese was surprisingly watery. The chili was also kind of cold, which made it hard to enjoy. That said, not everything missed, the wings were really good, and the smoked chicken stood out with super crispy skin while staying juicy inside. I also liked the slaw. Overall, it felt a bit overpriced for what you get because of the portion size (my total came out to around $75 for two 3 meat plates and smoked wings during happy hour). I'm glad I gave it a try, but it's probably not somewhere I'd go back to.

While driving past a strip mall, I noticed a giant (gigundo) smoker and piles of wood in the…read moreparking lot behind the building. If I hadn't seen that, I'd never have known that a BBQ even existed there. That smoker was what brought us in. As we read the menu, we were told that only some things were available right now. The brisket I wanted to order wouldn't be ready for another hour. Macaroni and cheese? This afternoon. I settled on a pulled pork plate with baked beans and broccoli salad. Hands down the best broccoli salad I've ever had. No onions. Perfect. The baked beans were right up there in the top 10, maybe top 5 of all time. The pulled pork? Ehh. Not the best. A little dry. The plate was served in to-go box, a very full to-go box - the amount of food served was astounding. I planned on bringing home extras to serve to the family for lunch the next day. By now the brisket was ready. I also ordered a large baked beans, green beans, banana pudding and a pound of chopped chicken to go. The mac and cheese still wasn't done. The meat had great flavor but all of it was a little dry. All of the sides absolutely rocked. I will definitely be back but I'm going to call first - I want my mac and cheese please. Ps: wish sweet Maddie well as she starts A&M in the fall!!!

Respectfully, an order was placed Friday for a rack of ribs, a whole chicken, 4 sausage links, and…read more3 large sides. Told them we would pick it up by 12:30 Saturday. Fast forward to Saturday, I arrive at 12:30 to have to wait an additional 20 minutes for my order. After which I'm told the sausage links would be an additional 10 minutes. I was charged for the entire meal without acknowledgment of long waits. I get it it's the 4th of July, however if it were me and I was the owner, I would've been by telephone order only. I would not have overcommitted myself if I couldn't maintain. Quality beats quantity every time. Let's talk about the food that I received. Ribs were over cooked and chewy. Seasoned well and nice bark to it but that's it. I received leg quarters instead of a whole chicken. Macaroni and cheese have a good consistency but lacked salt. Baked beans taste like Busch's baked beans fresh out the can. No onion bell pepper mustard brown sugar nothing. The potato salad taste was perfect however, it was to creamy almost soupy if that makes sense. Like you have to ease up on the mayo. Respectfully. All in all I'd give it a 2/5. I won't go back personally but this is my opinion. Feel free to form your own opinion.

It was very busy for a Thursday and opens at 4:30 for dinner. It's in the Lincoln Mill and entrance is right next to a coffee place, but right up front & easy to find. We ordered the brisket fritters (4 panko crispy balls of chopped brisket mixed with chihuahua cheese blend, topped with Japanese white sauce) & the crispy Brussel sprouts (tossed in hot honey, yuzu & tamari glaze). There were enough brussel sprouts that they could easily be a side for everyone at our table. Both were cooked perfectly & flavors amazing!! For our entrees, our daughter ordered the tempura crab sandwich, my husband the bulgogi cheesesteak, our granddaughter the chicken fingers & Mac & cheese, myself & son-in-law, the brisket burnt ends and the beef tallow fries & the creamy Ginger Serrano coleslaw.
