Big John's Feed Lot By Brenda

I went to Big John 's for lunch 2 days in a row while performing jury service. I had never been prior to my first visit. I am hyper critical of BBQ establishments because they can 't compete with my own BBQ and most of the time they get 2 or 3 stars. For context, a famous BBQ establishment in Driftwood TX only garnered 1 star from me. Big John 's is different 1. This place is busy and the lot starts filling up before they open at 11 am. 2.They are big on service! You won 't die of thirst or need anything as often as the staff come by to visit you. 3. The portions are between perfect to oversized. 4. Their BBQ: it is clearly made to appeal to as many palates as possible, not much of a smoke ring on the brisket plus it was a tad on the dry side, their jalapeno sausage had almost no smoke flavor at all but was very flavorful. Would have been dynamite with a smoke flavor profile. 5. The Crack it appears to be a cream cheese base with a bunch of seasoning and jalapenos? Maybe? Personally, I did not care for the condiment because it took away from the taste of the food it was added to, but a lot of others had to have it and raved about it. 6. A Fried Hamburger! This was really good!, not overcooked and fun to eat the staff will ask if you want all the fixins and if you say yes, you 're going to get a pile of lettuce, tomatoes and onions to make a separate salad. And a dump truck full of French fries as the side. BTW Their coleslaw is top notch too! 7. The little custard dessert at the end is a real slap to the back of your head I never saw that coming. Excellent palate cleanser before you leave. If you have not been please go. It 's really half experience and half food. Together they make it a 5 star experience, but the BBQ for me brought it down to a 4. I 'll be back!

This restaurant is fantastic! It looks quite modest from the outside, but the food is amazing. I highly recommend it!

Awesome selection of tastey dishes, friendly staff, good value, wonderful atmosphere.

Went here for the first time today, we're new to big spring. Wow!! You get a lot of good at a great price!! This isn't one of those over- priced bbq joints. Food was so tasty and service was very down- home and friendly. Will be coming back!!

First time here. It looks like a place should be featured on the food channel. It was very interesting. They had deep-fried hamburgers. That was really good and interesting rings. Awesome! Beef sandwich was as good as I could've expected. Very tasty.
