It was our first time there. The experience was wonderful, the food was fabulous and our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the food. I will and have recommended it to my family, coworkers and all my Facebook friends. Great place!!
If your a meat eater this will be your favourite place to eat. We can't get enough of it, we have to control ourselves or we would eat there every day and brunch on weekend, craving it right now. We alwYs start our meals with the Andouille sausage (so good and spicy). Mac and cheese with andouille sausage and chicken is to die for. Oh and my all time favourite EGGS BENNIE on warm fresh cornbread.... Yes cornbread, absolutely delish... Lots of southern Bbq's mmmm mmmm mmmmm can't say enough about it.
My daughter took me here when I visited her in Calgary recently. We ordered the Big T's Platter. The food came out relatively quickly and was not disappointing with the brisket being the exception (dry). It was a lot of food for $80.00. We ate what we could and then packed a few large containers to take home. I would definitely eat/order from here in the future and hope that a franchise comes to Edmonton soon!
Came here with a group for a birthday celebration, and we all enjoyed the food. Everyone ordered something different, and the portions were surprisingly large! Our only wish was for them to take reservations, we had to wait 50 minutes just to get a table! Otherwise, it was an enjoyable dinning experience.

Very decent BBQ. Really large portions.
I had the the deep fried pickles to start which were really good. Crispy outside and not soggy at all, which I have found happens a lot of times with other pickles. They give you about 7 large spears for $12 which is a good size. It comes with a creamy ranch like chipotle horseradish dipping sauce that was really tasty.
I had the prime rib beef bones. You get 4 large dinosaur-esque bones, a piece of cornbread, and 2 sides for $30 in this meal. The ribs were very good. They weren't fall off melt in your mouth type bones like I've experienced elsewhere (even Tony Roma's has a little bit more tender), but I enjoyed them. Cornbread was just ok. It was dry-ish even though it felt spongey and bouncy to the touch. Fries were hand cut and yummy, I used some of the different BBQ sauces for them and thought they paired nicely. Especially the sweet hot sauce which I forgot the name of now, but it had a sweet very spicy flavour. I also got the spicy coleslaw which was REALLY make your nose run spicy (still totally enjoyed), and had a creamy vinaigrette consistency.
My date had brisket, baby back ribs, smashed potatoes, and dirty rice with cornbread. He enjoyed it as well but said the level of Yum was not the same as his last experience there. I tried the brisket (good but again not melt in your mouth like I've had before at other places), and the smashed taters which were nice.
Overall it's really quite delicious and I would return for a special occasion.
The food is good. Favorite is the brisket or chicken and waffles. We recently tried the platter for 3-5 people and it was great, made it easy to order for the whole table.
Service can be hit or miss, when it's slow the service is great but when it's busy it can be slow service. We've waited for 15 minutes before anyone came by to take a drink order and we had to flag someone down, even though we saw waiters taking time to talk to other tables. Maybe they were understaffed that night? We still go back, we just prepare to wait a little longer than usual for service if during peak times.
I thought the BBQ was pretty good at Big T's. The brisket was lean and properly smoked. The bun was fresh and the hushpuppies hot and perfectly done. Overall my Sliced Brisket sandwich was on par with most good Texas BBQ joints, which is saying a lot. A Southern Wrap was also enjoyed. We started off with some onion rings, which at $9.25 are expensive, but the home-made rings were again, about as good as you could get and very enjoyable. A Thursday special Long Island Iced Tea was pretty reasonable at $5.50. My only complaint is that for lunch, you are basically limited to pulled pork or brisket sandwiches and a few wraps. Anything beyond that and you are up into the supper pricing. There is no 2 meat plate at a reasonable price for lunch or any of the other lunch combo plates that typically appear on BBQ joint menus.
We'll be back.
I bumped into this place quite at random and didn't realize it was on "You Gotta Eat Here". I arrived at 1930 on a Saturday night and it was pretty quiet in there. Hopefully that wasn't a sign of what my experience was going to be.
I was promptly seated at the bar and left to browse the menu. Lots of variety on the menu... Everything from sandwiches to ribs of all shapes and sizes, chicken, and even some greenery. I opted to go with the 2 meat meal and ordered brisket and meatloaf for my two meats ($23).
Brisket was very tender but served cold. Tasted great with the original BBQ sauce. Meatloaf was a bit dry (also tasted great with the original BBQ sauce). Mashed potato was piping hot and veg was crisp. Cornbread was yummy (I like my cornbread on the dry side) and had good texture.
Service was great (they were quite overstaffed) and I'd say I got good value for what I paid. Can't wait to go back to try the chicken and ribs.
Really impressed with the food. Briscuit was excellent. Sauces are great. Hush puppies are delicious. Will be back! Staff friendly!
Wish I lived closer!
What can I really say? Everything off the menu is fantastic! Ive had close to everything off the menu now, and I havent been disappointed once. The Cold Smoked Bourbon Cheesecake is to die for. I am addicted.
We really enjoyed our meal! Our only drawback was that we were seated at a very small table and are a family of 4. We made it work though. Food and service was great. We'll go again.
Quality BBQ all around the city and now in the SE. Only complaint would be they are short staff at times but even then it will not disappoint.
