Finest tasting barbecue! Beans are fantabulous! Special Macaroni and Cheese! Tastes great! Service is top drawer. Staff and Management are engaged and welcoming. Chef Curtis is a a true artist! The ambience is true Americana. Hey! This place is the home of good taste! Taste the Smoke!

The Brisket plate- the Fork as a reference vs the amount of fat from the brisket.

Service was great, variety of BBQ sauces was good, I understand they just opened as a business so I will give them another chance to redeem themselves. As a BBQ enthusiast I can't let the amount of FAT on the brisket slide. There was more fat than meat. There was no smoke ring on the brisket and tasted like it was not cooked on a smoker hence the amount of fat that didn't rendering down. Did not live up to the name Taste the Smoke the food was smokeless. See picture below.

Two meat combo with brisket, smoked sausage, Mac n cheese and green beans

I was excited to have a BBQ spot right up the street from me. Today I was in the mood for bbq and decided to place a takeout order, I had to call three times until I finally got a hold of someone. I placed an order, picked it up and then bought it over my mother in law's house to let her have a try. Once we opened the container we were both not satisfied. The smoked sausage looked like a hot dog and tasted like it, the brisket appeared to have a lot of fat and unlike the name of the business, I tasted no smoke whatsoever. The Mac n cheese was dry and was subpar, the green beans tasted like it was canned with onions added. The two meat specials were $4 extra because I added brisket and after eating it, the $4 is extremely excessive. The three bbq sauces I received were good though. Unfortunately I won't be coming back here again. I was really hoping to have a good bbq close to me.

Chicken with no smoke flavor that was super dry and the burnt mac.and cheese.  The 2 slices of white bread was really weird.

Never open! Always closed during business hours. And there's trash all over in the outside of the building.

We are sorry we didn't formally introduce ourselves as we would have liked to call each of you by…read morename. It was obviously a family-run business, our favorite kind. First, we were met with a smiling face, and we immediately felt welcomed. Such a warm and friendly greeting, and the chat after ordering was nice as well. We let them know I was the lucky winner (of the WCN July Reader Appreciation Day), and we ordered our custom build--1/2 mushroom, cheese, pepperoni, and guess what, more cheese! I'd eat the kitchen sink, but I wanted my better half to enjoy the pizza with me. We also ordered the cheese bread. It was surprisingly seasoned to perfection, as others we have tried aren't, cooked to perfection, and my fiancée described it as "to die for" or decadent, LOL, and then she dipped it in the sauce. The look on her face said it all. She will tell you that the sauce is the best she has ever had, and I have to agree. Sweet, great tomato flavor, and a perfect balance of spices. She wants to know if it is sold by the bowl or gallon, by the way. Cheese bread, we give a solid 15 out of 10 stars, no joke! This was on point! Now, the pizza. Eye-popping, also cooked to perfection, and quite possibly the best pizza we have had in a long time, possibly ever. The balance of the cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and more cheese was unbelievable. The pepperoni used was fantastic, not overpowering, and was much milder than the spicy kind you would find from other places, and we both loved it. The dough for the pizza is a perfect match for all the toppings, and did we mention the sauce!?! Pizza scores a 10 out of 10 stars, just phenomenal. So, thank you all again, we are in a food coma, and you have made true believers and fans out of us. We went not with expectations, but with anticipation, and we are absolutely blown away. We can't wait to see you all again. Now, go get yourself some G.Faz pizza. You will not regret it!

Really friendly even when busy, a lot of places get short when they are busy but they stay just as…read moreawesome no matter if you are the only one or one of dozens. Also of course they have amazing pizza. Best you've had in a while is no exaggerated phrase!

We ordered the brisket loaded fries and a brisket sandwich. The smell of smoke permeated the car…read moreand had our mouths watering on the ride home. They were both delicious. I could taste the smoke in every bite and the rub was flavorful. (A tad off on the rub but that's just my tastebuds so can't hold it against them) I was happy to have finally found a place this good so close to home. THIS would be our regular place. Now the sad part. As soon as I finished eating I looked online to see if they had a website and a Yelp page so I could leave a flowing review. What I happened upon first was their instagram page with dozens of photos of their food. I couldn't wait to return. Then I came across the picture I posted. Words were difficult at first. I can sympathize with both sides of the conflict, but, I eat out to take a break from the world in a sense. I don't want any restaurants political opinions shoved on me. Of course they are certainly within their rights to do so, however, I wanted a sandwich and a nice evening with my grandson. Not to be reminded of the senseless and brutal atrocities inflicted on another human being - whether they be Palestinian or Israeli. I cry when I see the little ones being carried out on stretchers in Gaza. They don't understand why their safe happy world is torn apart. The same holds true for the women that were savagely raped a week earlier in Israel - and the babies put in microwaves! I won't be back at BigReds and their politics is the reason. I just wanted to enjoy dinner but I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. P.S. - like the other review I also noticed my card was charged more than what my food was.

Well well well.. where do I start? I came across a TikTok video of a young lady sharing her…read moreexperience. It was terrible. She was charged $60 and had food missing. What's worse is how it was handled by the owner or operator. First, he accused her of lying.. then, he accused her of wanting free food... only to then come back and say that they watched the cameras and she did not receive all of her food... so which is it? Then turned around again and said she was right and they'd refund her... y'all knew you were wrong from the beginning. Customer service is lost upon this business.. save your money and time and go somewhere else.. i'd also like to note that there are a total of 8 videos where she is RESPONDING to the unprofessional comments left by this "business". Y'all need to do better.
