Unfortunately, our visit to this barbecue joint was a disappointing experience that did not live up to its past reputation. The restaurant was nearly empty, a bad sign that should have been heeded immediately.
The brisket was the first letdown. It was served lukewarm and had a very faint, almost non-existent smoke ring. The lack of a proper smoke ring suggests it was cooked too quickly without the long, slow process that gives great barbecue its depth of flavor.
The ribs were a slight improvement. The meat did fall off the bone, but the flavor was just okay. The sauce lacked any real punch, leaving the overall experience feeling mediocre at best. While they were above average, they were far from remarkable.
We chose to skip the sausage entirely after learning it wasn’t made in-house, which felt like a missed opportunity to showcase genuine barbecue craftsmanship.
Given the mediocre food and the restaurant’s desolate state, I would not recommend returning to this establishment. It’s a sad example of a once-great place that has lost its way.

Very tasty BBQ directly off the highway. I highly suggest their homemade gumbo as a side dish. It was extremely flavorful, something you wouldn’t expect at a BBQ restaurant. The ribs were flavorful as well, with a nice sweet and smokey taste. Service was spot on, they were very friendly to me and engaged me with conversation.

Traveling through and this location is awesome for a quick stop as it’s right off the highway. The parking is great for trucks and trailers. Inside is roomy with plenty of tables. Employees were friendly and helpful. We ordered a little of everything. Brisket was ok as it was pretty dry. The Turkey was great!! The ribs were awesome, they have a little bite and are perfectly caramelized. Jalapeño cheese sausage was pretty good. For sides we tried the Mac and cheese which was delicious. The Gumbo was awesome!!!!! The potato salad was ok just a little different. Prices were not bad. If we tried Bodacious again we would probably try a different location.

Very good pulled pork and sides. The gumbo is delicious. And you can fit a 18 wheeler in there.

Hard to find if you use Google maps. Its right at the corner of 20 and 42. Not on the Dunkin side…. large black metal building. Nice upgrade. Great staff.

We spent $35 on barely a pound of meat and 4 small sides. The brisket was completely flavourless- I was not impressed at all. The ribs and sausage were good. The green beans were fantastic.

Best ribs I have ever had! My husband had the brisket and just loved it. He also said the corn was unbelievable and we LOVED the cole slaw. Very busy at lunch.

Stopped on the way out of Texas for a quick lunch. Place had a good vibe. They have a simple menu but its all done well. I had the ribs and they were really tasty. Had to take brisket sandwiches for the road with thier very good BBQ sauce. I recommend you stop there for simple, authentic Texas Bbq

If it’s okay I don’t necessarily have any complaints about the food but the service there’s something to be worked on last time I came in it was 7:00 p.m. and the lady at the register with steadily talking about what time it was like she was insinuating I needed to leave that kind of pissed me off I can remember that happened at least two times so would I be back not necessarily unless I’m just in the mood for some barbecue and I have nowhere else to eat
