The food was good but two critics. 1) About half the brisket on the sandwich was chunks of fat. The actual meat was great, but be mindful of what you use. It’s pretty gross to bite into blubber. 2) That sub roll wasn’t that great. It was hard and thick. If you use a Martin’s hoagie roll, or something softer, it would make it pop. Sides were pretty good. I had slaw and Mac n cheese. I’d give it another shot when back in town.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Super Sampler BBQ Feast which had generous portions pulled pork and chicken, brisket slices, one rib, an Andouille sausage, a corn muffin, baked beans and coleslaw. Hayley was an attentive server. Everything was delicious. It was a beautiful afternoon to enjoy the porch.

I was a regular until I wasn’t. I met a friend for lunch today. The server yelled across the restaurant and asked if I wanted a menu. He didn’t introduce himself, never smiled, nothing. He asked 1 time during our lunch if we needed anything. Cody saved the day. He came out and gave me a hug. I don’t know the guy’s name but he needs to work on his hospitality skills.

Oh Big John…is BIG MAD! Lucky I was generous by giving a 3 star that translate to mediocre like your servers. Instead of worrying about grammer worry about your presentation, food & servers looking ran through. She didn’t even know there was a biscuit barn inside your establishment and had to check. Better i changed my rating to reflect the exact experience from food to service. I wasted money on this food not even worth it at all if I could give a 0 star I would. Thank you!!

We are regulars here at Big John’s, and i tell everyone to go all the time for the pulled pork sandwich and the service. But today Lindsey and the crew made it a wonderful experience. They had ran out of our favorite chip sauce, and they were so kind to make more fresh just for us, and then they gave us extra chips bc it was the end of the night so we can eat all of the sauce they made for us. Thank you!!

Lindsay and German took good care of us. The music was way too loud inside but outside was lovely and we took advantage of the touchtunes.

This was a nice dinner. The ribs were very good, but the sauce is on the table were a bit spicy. Even the mild was spicy. Nice decorations and staff. Brisket was alright too.

This was our first time eating here and right when we walked in we felt welcomed by Laura she said sit anywhere our house is your house! That made us feel comfortable. She was our server as well! She is the sweetest person I have ever met. She was very attentive made sure we had everything we needed and refilled my drink without me even asking! She is a gem and a great asset to the company. I would definitely go back and ask for her personally! Food was good as well!

A great spot for delicious BBQ made the right way. Likely one of the best smoked briskets you’ll ever have, certainly in the Orlando area. They have four sauces and they give you squeeze bottles of all so you can try what you like.

Service is friendly and team-oriented. There are experienced staff like Lindsay and their newest server Jordyn. Their cook Cody used to be a server so he knows how to make sure the customer is getting great food. Generous portions especially the Big John’s sandwich and the full slab of ribs. Love their fried green tomatoes and green beans and fresh onion rings.

Indoor and outdoor seating. Kid friendly patio games to keep them from being bored. Parking isn’t great since a lot of nearby ones were turned into handicapped spaces, but we didn’t have to walk more than half a block.

Pro Tip: they only make so much brisket each day, so come early like lunchtime or early dinner (or maybe pay in advance? I don’t know if that’s a thing).
