Like most in this barbecue chain they offer sandwiches or bbq plates with two sides. It is very good food especially since I had not eaten barbecue in some time. A sliced bbq turkey sandwich was my choice. With the sauce, pickles and jalapeños it was just right! This Bodacious location is also close to the hospital and convenient for visitors and patients to both the area clinics and the main hospital (CHRISTUS Good Shepherd).

I have always heard about Bodacious BBQ, and this last weekend we finally got to try it out…read more The restaurant was cute clean, it looked like an old house that had been converted We were happily greeted immediately upon entering and the young man who took our order was patient, helpful and kind. What could you ask for? The overall staff was quick efficient and they made our order exactly as we asked. While the BBQ wasn't the best I have ever had. It was extremely good! The sides (I got barbecue beans and green beans) were delicious. I will say the barbecue beans were some of the better ones. I've had I thoroughly enjoyed them. The spareribs were nicely charred, pretty tender and very, very good. The brisket was very tasty but a little bit dry. My biggest complaint was their barbecue sauce. It has a strong mustard base and I am just not a fan of mustard. I know that's on me, not on them. We were on a four day, two state road trip, and I think this was the best meal we had on the trip. It was by far away the best value that we got. Overall, the amount of food that we got for the price we paid at bodacious was extremely good. If I ever get back to East Texas, we will be sure and stop.

I just don't see why folks don't want to eat the juicy, moist, fatty portions of the brisket!?! That's is the best part...but next time I will remember to ask to get those pieces. Now the regular brisket it was necessarily dry...but it just wasn't the fatty lusciousness I'm use to eating. When you walk in the people behind the counter were really nice and actually SPOKE! Now being from East Texas that's what I'm use to and miss about people. Living in the DMV area now these folks can't be really standoffish and that's why I can't wait to go back soon...but I digress. I really wanted to try the turkey but it was already sold out by the time I made it there. So make sure you come early to try it. I did wish they offered chicken because that would have been a great addition to my meal. My two sides were potato salad and coleslaw. Both of which I really don't like. Straight to the point bbq spot down in East Texas and can't wait to come back to hopefully try the turkey and MOSIT brisket!

Overall, the BBQ was just okay for me, but I really enjoyed the sides. What stood out most was the value -- you get a good amount of food for the price, which is always a plus.

My husband challenged me to find somewhere new, and Yelp led us to Fat Boyzzz in Longview, TX. I'll be honest--I'm not usually a soul food fan, so I wasn't especially excited about trying it. But my husband had been craving some good soul food for a while, so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant had excellent ratings and reviews, but I was still a little skeptical. When we arrived, the place was packed, which is usually a good sign. Thankfully, we were seated right away. Our waitress let us know upfront that there would be about a 30-minute wait for the food. Our first interaction with her was a little rough--she seemed stressed and was somewhat abrupt while taking our order. My husband was initially put off, but he was determined to get his soul food fix. Now, whenever I see grilled liver and onions with brown gravy on a menu, that's what I'm ordering. I'm a Luby's girl through and through, and until today, I would've said nobody does liver and onions better than Luby's. Fat Boyzzz changed my mind. The liver was sliced a little thinner and wasn't quite as tender, but the flavor more than made up for it. Every bite was absolutely delicious. And that's not even the best part. The mashed potatoes and brown gravy were phenomenal--rich, flavorful, and pure comfort food. My husband ordered the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes and cream gravy. The entire meal, all he could talk about was those mashed potatoes. Between bites, he'd keep saying, "These mashed potatoes are AWESOME! This gravy tastes just like my Naw-Naw's gravy!" My husband is a big, burly guy with a deep voice, and hearing him repeatedly praise the food while happily devouring his plate was entertaining all by itself. This was truly food for the soul. We left full, happy, and completely comforted by a fantastic meal. Fat Boyzzz has definitely earned repeat customers in us, and we'll absolutely be back. Highly recommended!
