The smell coming from this place is what I would image heaven smelling like. The prices are great and the food is even better. I got 2 lbs of smoked turkey and it was wonderful. The guy who brought the food out was very nice and included a big ole bowl of Bbq sauce. The smoked turkey doesn't need any sauce but it was nice of him to include it. If I lived in the area, I would eat here all the time. read more

Ol West BBQ - Juicy and tender smoked turkey. So so good! - Barbeque Near Me - Minden, Louisiana

Cute restaurant and clean but not the best BBQ. Service was good but the BBQ was just average at best and sides just mediocre. read more

The barbecue is great, the potato salad is great, but don't expect any baked beans. Pintos with jalapeños is what you get.

We love coming to this super clean and easy to get to spot in Minden . Large portions of BBQ . Fall off the bone ribs . I had the smoked sausages. Good potato salad top notch green beans . Sweet and spicy baked beans . . read more

Alittle pricey but love their food. The baked potatoes are huge! Go see them for some yummy food!

I've tried numbers plates here and been satisfied every time. The side dishes have also been good, if not great. I appreciate the friendly employees and how clean the restaurant is. read more

The place was very clean, napkins and everything you need is at the table. Complimentary beans hot and fresh and they have a little spice to it, I like to add it to whatever I'm eating. The people working there were so nice and kind to me and my boyfriend it was my first time being there and they told me how things are prepared. We got two brisket potatoes, two brisket sandwiches. You can put as much BBQ sauce you want on anything. The potato for me personally was the best thing I've had. read more

This will scratch your bbq itch if that's what you are looking for. The food is traditional bbq, nothing fancy. I usually like my bbq on the drier side but I felt this was a little drier than I wanted. Service was great. Everybody is very friendly especially the older gentleman in the cowboy hat! I would go back when I was in the mood for bbq. One thing I would suggest if anyone from the restaurant reads this: more sauce choices. I think they only had 1 sauce and it was a little bland for me. I like spicy sauce. I hope I'm not being too picky. read more

Brisket a bit dry but tasty. Ribs were great and smoky, nice bite. Chicken great. Don't look for sweet BBQ here, all smoke. Sides were decent. Plenty of food for under $28! read more

Ol West BBQ - Three meat dinner - ribs, chicken, and brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Minden, Louisiana

I eat their chopped brisket sandwich so often that they know what to make when I walk in. You get free beans with any purchase and they are amazing. Go eat this BBQ!! read more

Wonderful barbecue; especially love the baked potato's with meat. The owner is an amazing supporter of our Minden community!!!!

Love Mr Tom and it's the best in town! They are incredibly sweet and fast. The food speaks for itself!! Amazing

Probably should add fries to the menu... wasn't super impressed by the plastic and styrofoam everything. Ordered a chopped brisket sandwich, either the bun was soo big for the amount of meat that was given or they didn't give me enough meat to fill the bun. The meat was pretty much cold. So I ate a cold sandwich. I'm used to other bbq places providing pickles and onions with the sandwiches. The sauce wasn't memorable, the staff was rude and sitting down for the most part joking around... The free beans should stay free Bc they aren't worth much. Needs a kick of something... just like the sauce. The worse part about the meal was the banana pudding... it literally had 2 cookies and literally NO bananas... I'm sorry but if your going to only offer once size and charge over $3 I suggest you put the bulk of the key ingredients in the serving... Bc it was just a giant serving of pudding that cost 50 cents at the store. No impressed won't be returning recommend they add more seasoning and ingredients to their menu. read more

Always a good place to eat. Food is great and you can sit inside and enjoy your meal. Definitely recommend it

Unfriendly cashier when we first walked in. When asking about the sides she did nothing but point to a sign, and did not explain any specials I'm the menu. Food was not that great. Everything we ordered came out of plastic wrap and reheated. The grilled cheese was barely hot, and cheese hardly even melted. read more

This place certainly didn't disappoint. The food was delicious and the prices were not bad at all especially for BBQ. Everyone was friendly and the food came to us quickly. We will definitely be back. read more

Good food just the employees were fighting with each other. Too much drama. So I would advise getting your food to go!

We really enjoyed the food and the service. I had the small chopped beef sandwich with potato salad and corn. Yummy! I tried the beans and they were great with spice. My husband had the riblets and the large chopped beef sandwich. The sweet tea was wonderful. We will be back! read more

Are you a serious carnivore? How about omnivore? If you answered yes to both of those questions then Ol West is the place for you! Their meat is smoked and out of the 5 times I have ate here, it is consistent. I love sauce but I would consider eating their meat without sauce if I didn't love sauce so much! Their sauce is very good too. It is a tangy sauce that is a mix between vinegar and tomato base. Their hot BBQ sauce is the same but with cayenne pepper added. The best side is the potato salad. It's real creamy and sweet with just enough mustard not to overpower the taste. The Cole slaw is too crunchy for my taste because I like Cole slaw real creamy but decent. Their beans have grown on me. They are more like pinto beans instead of baked beans and I doctor them up with some BBQ sauce and tabasco. If you eat in, you can eat as many beans as you like. When you come in, you order at the counter and the place feels like an Old West kind of place after it's name. In summary, the sides are pretty good but you don't go to a BBQ place for the sides. You go for the meat and sauce ! The meat and the sauce by itself gives this place a 5 - star rating. Leg-end-ary meat! read more

Ol West BBQ - the interior of a restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Minden, Louisiana

Best sloppy joe EVER!!! Pot salad and corn so good to! Love this place fast service to!!

I love the ribs with potato salad, green beans its awesome ! Drive thru is quick and staff very friendly.

This is absolutely my favorite bbq in the NWLA region. The Ol' Tater (baked potato with butter, cheese, sour cream, and choice of meat) is my third favorite. Second favorite is Chopped Beef Sandwich plate with an ear of corn and serving of potato salad. They have The Best potato salad hands-down. My all time favorite though...is their ribs!! Pork Ribs done right with their dry rub. The meat falls right off the bone. I've even gotten my chopped beef sandwich plate with two ribs on the side! It always tastes fresh. Ol' West is a regular stop for my family. read more

Mane these ribs are the best! I love em! I'll stop by everytime . Sausage is good but have a lil spice

The meat is wonderful but not fond of potato salad or beans. Pinto beans just don't go with bbq to me they should have baked beans! I called my order in and asked for BAKED BEANS unaware they did not have any so I was disappointed with that. Should serve hot water cornbread sticks with those read more

Excellent BBQ Generous portions. Free pinto beans with dine-in. The very best

Pulled pork is as good as any I have ever had. They need to work on their sides though.

One of our favorite places in Minden to eat at. Someone just bought ribs for us and they were soooo good. We love most everything we have tried! I agree they do need help on the sides. Excellent service! read more

Very open and almost family style restaurant! Very good food and service, would recommend.

Pulled pork is very tender but lacks a smokey flavor. Very disappointed in the homemade banana pudding. It resembled canned pudding over wafers. Dessert is over priced. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. read more

One of my favorite places in the whole area. Really really good BBQ. The smoke sausage is great. The pulled pork is really good. The brisket will curl your toe nails but the chicken is better than all of the them. I almost always get a three meat platter. All of the meats are offered in sandwich form and they will also curl your toe nails. I'm not that into the sides though. They taste kinda commercial but the pinto bean soup is great. The STAR of the menu though is the sloppy joe. A little hidden gem on the sandwich menu they are the best sloppy joes I have ever eaten in my entire life and in top three favorite sandwiches ever. All together a five star joint. read more

Made a quick stop here on our way to La Tech. We each had to 2 meat plate which was a great choice! The ribs are the short pork type which were very moist & tender. I also had the sausage which wasn't the spicy type I prefer but it was still tasty. Potato salad was some on the best I've had, including my own mothers but not even close to grandmaws! I was surprised the pinto beans are complimentary, (which were awesome good on the spicy side) and corn on the cob. I especially loved the bbq sauce - it was different in the way of not having that vinegary after taste. My friend had the turkey which he said was nice and smoky flavored. So yeah, Ol West passed this Texans bbq taste buds test! Oh, and service is order at the counter type, but the friendly staff will bring your order right to your table when ready (which won't take long)! Cleanliness including restrooms were spot on (no sticky tables)! read more

BBQ is good for North Louisiana and better than whats around Shreveport for sure. Now don't think your getting South Texas or Memphis BBQ, but it is all good food at Ol West, place is always clean and good service. Prices are very good! read more

This place is for bbq lovers. I got the 2 meat dinner with ribs and brisket, corn on the cob and coleslaw. The meats were tender and smokey, the ribs were meaty and fell off the bone. The sauce is great, not too rich and a just the right amount of tangy. Nothing fancy, order at the counter and it comes on foam plates, but is very clean and low key. My compatriots liked their meals very much as well. Great food, good price, I definitely recommend it and would come back again if I'm in the area. read more

Great BBQ we drove 30 miles just to try. Will be back again. Love the ribs and chicken. I do not eat potato salad but it was so good. Going back to try the riblets. read more

Best BBQ this side of anywhere!! The chopped brisket sandwich on hot, buttered Texas toast is always fresh and delicious. The Bbq sauce is perfect too, can't get enough of it! Try the turkey breast; it's moist, juicy and seasoned to perfection!! I pick it up in the drive thru and use it in my pot pie recipe, comes out awesome. Don't miss the chocolate cake, your taste buds will thank you for it. read more

One of minden's best restaurants. Inside is always very clean even at busy times. The owner actually cares enough to talk to the customers and make sure they are happy with everything. The brisket is always tender, the sides are always fresh. They have great sweet tea which is one of the factors I always judge a restaurant on. Time and time again this place meets my standards and even exceeds them. read more

Chopped beef is hit or miss. If it's miss--it has a lot of fat in it. Huge pieces of chocolate cake though.

Really good, staff is friendly, free beans if you dine in! Tennessee sandwich is great.
