Big Barn BarBQue

What I like most about this place are the corn fritters.  The BBQ is pretty good, too! I also like that it's one of a few places that I can take my small, wiggly children and know they are welcome.  Whenever there is a live band, one of the employees brings out a tub of musical toys so the kids can 'play' with the band.

I am a super bbq lover. Instead of a formal dinner at my wedding, we had Barbeque if that tells you anything. Big Barn is some of the best barbeque I have ever had--solid top 5. The only thing keeping them away from a 5 star ranking is the service. It's spotty with some great employess who check on you and show you their love and Texas smiles. Then there is a surly bunch behind the counter who seem to be constantly overwhelmed and argumentative with one another. This totally rubs off on the long line of customers who are slowly making their way through the line; everyone gets all grouchy while they are being enveloped by the heavenly scent of smoky meat and fried foods. It takes a lot to be grouchy under those olfactory conditions. So, go to Big Barn, smile really big at everyone, remember your pleases and thank yous and hopefully, everyone will cheer up so that the pavlovian response to the barbeque will be increasingly positive.

Went out to the so called "BIG!! Prime Rib Dinner Special" on Friday night and it was a BIG JOKE. I bought my ticket for the prime rib and had to walk out to the far end of their patio to get it. Gary, Sean or Big Dan cut a thin slice of prime rib and ask me how I wanted it cooked. He told the whole prime rib was cooked rare. They had a $19.99 charcoal grill from Wal-Mart cooking the meat. He put the "BIG!! Prime Rib Dinner Special" on a plastic plate and gave me plastic utensils. I asked for au jus and he poured some type of unpalatable looking watery brown roast gravy with carrots onto the meat. I had to walk back into the building to get my tea then sat down to eat with my foam cup for tea, plastic fork and knife and plastic plate. I broke three forks and one knife before I gave up and left. Never again will I go back to this place.
