Was disappointed that BBQ meat wasn't offered. All BBQ sauce were in squeeze bottles. Pulled pork was melt in your mouth tender, but had no flavor. A must try is the frychos.
Excellent food!! Excellent people!! Exceptional prices!! Try getting better and more food for less. This is a must stop in Hohenwald for outrageously great BBQ!!
I asked for a recommendation for meal being shared with Husband and I? This was our 1st time eating here. We got the Pulled pork Platter. Very well cooked and I Loved the spicy BarBQ sauce. Great Price too!
First time to try. Not open on weekends so we thought they were closed. We had lunch, he had a pulled pork plate with corn on the cob and tater tots, which were cooked to a perfect crisp. I had pulled pork nachos, which are a fav but these had a twist. They came topped with the typical ingredients, pulled pork, queso, bbq sauce and jalapeños but then they all had, a first for me, baked beans. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it but I liked it! We split a hot fudge brownie sundae, which I thought meant it was going to have hot fudge sauce, but it meant it had a warmed fudge brownie with chocolate sauce. It came topped with whipped cream and cherry. We nearly liked the bowl clean.
Stopped in for bbq but they had no brisket, ribs, or sausage. I opted for a cheeseburger as did my wife. We were pleasantly surprised, the well seasoned grill imparted a great flavor and the burgers had a good crust. The tomatoes and onions were fresh and they were darn good! I don't know how their bbq is, but I would definitely stop in for another cheeseburger.
It's pretty good food. The service is quick in my experience. Prices seem a bit high for some things but it's hard to say that for sure when I don't really know how much overhead there is in making barbecue. My biggest complaint is that the menu can be confusing if you're trying to get food for a group. I wish they would just sort of do a build your own family meal instead of the strange way of doing it by #-pack that they do where it's hard to know exactly what you're getting.
Big John's BBQ hits the mark with their BBQ sandwiches! The smoky, flavorful goodness in every bite is a carnivore's dream. The generous portions and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness make it a top choice for BBQ enthusiasts. Big flavor, big satisfaction – thumbs up!
Amazing BBQ! Pulled pork that melts in your mouth, baked beans that are better than my Ma’s and the best slaw I have ever had! I won’t mention the slice of Pecan Pie I had… wow! The staff were great! Very friendly and they treated us like we were invited into their home. The atmosphere was pretty awesome. A lot of regulars go to eat there, and the reasons for that are above. A friendly hometown BBQ place!
