The Big Empty is the best BBQ place in Seymour, TX. They took over another restaurant which was OK and really made it great. The building is remodeled and fixed up nicely. It has a rustic Texas feel and excellent BBQ. I have been here before and will certainly go again when in the area. Seymour is a small town, and there's not a lot of choices. But if you are anywhere in the area and are hungry The Big Empty is a no brainer. You certainly won't leave empty! There is a covered and screened porch dining area as well as indoor dining. Both are pleasant, and it's obvious it's a hit with the locals. The service is friendly and efficient. I had the BBQ turkey sandwich and it was both tender and tasty. The BBQ sauce was great, not overly spicy. Be sure to taste their famous BBQ beans. The salad bar is not very extensive, but who goes to a BBQ place for salad? Just sayin'! You can get the salad with some meat or chicken on it and it would be more of a meal. The restrooms were clean. The owners are still expanding and anticipate fixing the place up even more. They even plan to include a dog walk park for those traveling with pets. It's worth the short drive off the main highway to stop here. I look forward to returning.

I give the food 3 and the service 4. The guy was really nice, but the food..espash the brisket..was cut wrong and was to dry then a brisket should be

Fried pickles

Firstly the decor and feel is rustic. I think that fits the areas feeling very well. A beautiful smile and excellent service is what I'd describe what I got! Very welcoming and friendly. Now the sweet tea I got was a tad sweet but I'm more of a lesser sweat and more tea kind of guy so no fault there! My appetizer... fried pickles...I didn't enjoy them.. to salty for me and no pickle just dried out bites so I'll pass on that one! My main course was delicious! The turkey tender and flavorful!! I always order the sliced turkey breast because it's delicious! The brisket had a good amount of fatty bites and was flavorful! Is it the best I've had... no but it's definitely worth the try! Bbq sauce is a bit sweet but compliments the food well. The potato salad was very good and the Mac and cheese a tad dry but very nice flavors! Overall I'd come back and I do every other day because the food is good and the prices are decent!

Brisket, pulled pork, ribs

Just happened upon this gem and sure glad we did. Husband and I shared a three-meat plate. Husband's first bite of the ribs "wow!" My first bite of brisket, I gave a sigh too! WOW! Excellent bbq place, friendly staff and a cool T-shirt!

Appetizer Brisket Nachos. YUM!!!
Theresa B.

The best brisket ever! So tender and juicy. Also loved the brisket nachos. Staff was friendly and service was quick.

3 meat brisket, sausage and pork ribs

See all
