Being a railfan sitting and eating in a Railroad dining car was a real treat. The food was good and we had leftovers which was still good the next day. Ralph the Robot was a first for us. Our server was very nice and kind. I will definitely eat here again.

The bad – this place is expensive, and they have a robot serving food which I despise. The good – the food was tasty. I didn’t have the salad bar, but it looked really fresh and well stocked. Our server was nice, and the place had charm.

We came with a large group after the local Christmas parade and we were able to be seated right away. The service was great and the drinks were large servings. I enjoyed the pork bbq ribs!
I really enjoyed their decor! They had a huge Christmas village display! The side car train you could sit on is also very cool and unique.

It was terrible. My son’s burger was a hockey puck. My daughter in laws $37 steak had pepper, no salt. It was awful. My brisket sandwich was dry, my grandsons fires were maybe 70 degrees. And worst of all, after 40 minutes, while delivering our food they then chose to tell us they didn’t have the jumbo shrimp my wife ordered. On top of this, multiple tables seated after us (one 12 top) got their drinks and food before us. Never coming back, and telling everyone we know to dine elsewhere in Wilcox.

We visited Big Tex BBQ recently, hoping for a better experience than eight years ago when we found the food overpriced, bland, rubbery, and the service lacking. This time, some aspects improved, but overall, it fell short of expectations.

Service: The waitress was wonderful, attentive, and understanding, making us feel welcome–a big step up from our last visit.
Food: The food, unfortunately, disappointed. The brisket was overcooked, tough, bland, and flavorless, though the sausage was decent. The pork ribs seemed microwaved, with only three pieces that didn’t feel like traditional BBQ. The fresh-cut French fries were good, and the large rolls were nice. The salad was fine, but the peaches were the highlight–fresh and tasty.

The brisket tastes nothing like Texas brisket. No wood favor at all and very rubbery. Moist and melt in your mouth it was not. If served in Texas it would have been thrown back at the cook. Serious. If looking for real Texas BBQ in Arizona stop at Rudy’s or Dickey’s. Texas companies who know how it’s done.

Value and Atmosphere: Prices were $10 higher than our last visit, despite ordering less and sticking to water. A credit card surcharge felt unnecessary.
Souvenirs like t-shirts ($35), stuffed animals, and cups were priced like a tourist spot, but the vibe was more of a local mom-and-pop diner.

Final Thoughts: The kind waitress was a bright spot, but the food and value didn’t impress. We won’t return and can’t recommend this restaurant. For better BBQ, consider other options. They need to remove Tex from the name.

What a great place you wouldn’t expect to find in Wilcox Arizona! We stopped in 20 minutes before closing because we read about their amazing Onion Rings. I wish we were staying overnight in Wilcox because we would have had a full meal the next day. The the waitress was great and the onion rings were excellent. As we were getting ready to leave we noted corn nuggets on the menu. I asked about them and she said they were delicious. I really wish we were hungrier! I guess that will be on the menu for the next time we dine there. I’m also posting photographs dated 11/19/25 of the place and the menu. Definitely stop in if you’re anywhere near the area.

The food here was really subpar for us. We are from the southeast and maybe are just used to a different style of bbq. The barbecue sauce was very heavy on what tasted like chili powder, the brisket was fatty and not very beefy in flavor, the rest was mediocre at best unfortunately it tasted like crockpot bbq, not real smoked meat. We were pretty disappointed with what we had and the cost per portion size on the side dishes was surprising. Our waitress was very sweet and kind. Fast service. We would not recommend this place personally, but did hear people at other tables saying how good their food was so… ‍♀️

Great service and the food came out quickly. But being from Texas…. We were very disappointed in the bbq. It just tasted like it was made in a crockpot with some pepper. Didn’t taste smoked at all. The portions were very generous though. Would still go back and try other options. The sweet tea was delicious
