Through Facebook I couldn’t wait to try this place! The food looked amazing on their site posts! It was months before getting the chance to go but we drove over 30 minutes. At first glance the outside doesn’t look like a popular place but trust and enter! We were the only customers so service was nice and convenient. The stuffed twinkies (poppers) where I’m from were delicious! Dirty fries were the best and the mac n brisket burrito was OK. Worth the drive!

Visited Big Gilley’s for the first time today. Best brisket I’ve had in a long, long time. Would recommend ordering it “moist”. Wife had the baked potato with pulled pork. Also very good. Both best without sauce but the house sauce was delicious…a little bit of heat, not too sweet. Servers were great and friendly too. Building’s not fancy but is homey and comfortable. Will be back. Need to try non-bbq offerings, especially fried chicken on Thursdays.

I was so looking forward to good BBQ in Ashdown. I don’t know what has happened this use to be a very good place. 1st off I know the prices for everything have gone up, but to charge 6 extra dollars a plate, because I ordered bisket is ridiculous. Then it was full of fat yes it should have some but not 1/3 of your order is fat. I would go to Texarkana next time alot further but better quality.

After all the hype my sister and I finally decided to try this establishment since they recently moved to an old diner. When we walked in no one was eating just visiting which was nice and friendly. We were unsure if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated so, we stood there a few before another customer said to seat ourselves. We walked to a table and sat down looked around waiting for what appeared to be the only waitress to bring a menu. She finally informed us our waitress would be with us shortly. I ended up pulling the menu up on my for us to browse and see if we wanted the special or what. Finally a young girl comes to our table to get our drink order when she returns still no menus and proceeds to ask what we want.. I asked can we have a menu please and a straw. Her response “Oh yeah. I’m always forgetting.” She brings the menus back and says “There is no um what do you call brisket not the chopped we got that do you know what I’m trying to say? Oh and we don’t have any chicken either. So do yall know what u want.?” I replied ma’am can you give us a few? She came back not 5 min later and asked if we were ready I said still looking can we please have our straws. Finally she came back so our food order was The big nasty with brisket and the 1/3 lb with pulled pork, okra and, Mac and cheese. The food can out promptly the 1/3 lb and tater looked amazing until the tater was close enough to actually see. There was maybe a teaspoon of chopped brisket the smoked queso was like water running down the plate witch left nothing but huge chunks of onions and peppers with no cheese. The shredded cheese on my potato never melted and I can say I was highly disappointed. My waitress never brought our food nor came back to ask how our meal was, see if we needed a refill nothing not a word. When trying to express our bad service the other waitress said “yeah she’s not that good.” So needless to say this was a horrible 1st visit and I wouldn’t eat there or try it again. When leaving the restaurant we found our waitress reading a hot sauce bottle outside while 4 other employees were all outside smoking. So I guess that hot sauce bottle was more important than quality service and customer satisfaction.

The food was delicious! I highly recommend the brisket sandwich! Clean atmosphere with friendly staff, these days that is hard to find. When I find friendly staff it makes me want to come back even more!

The best barbecue in town is always tender& juicy. The sides are very good, and all is homemade. Desserts I have tried are very good as well, I haven’t tried the fried twinkle. IT definitely gets a 5 stars from my husband and I.

Bought the sandwich because it had pulled pork, pork rib meat and what this place called brisket. We took the sandwich apart and ate the meats individually. The brisket was actually pretty good. As in comparable to Texas brisket with a smoke flavor to it and a salt and pepper seasoning. The pork was also tender and moist. We ordered a bacon wrapped jalapeno with brisket inside. Not bad. The macaroni and cheese had lots of cheese and tasted home made. Pretty good stop for bbq.

When we first looked at the restaurant, my mother and I thought, “No way!” We gave it the benefit of the doubt and am glad we did! The food and everything were above our expectations! Next time we are back this way, we’ll be stopping again to eat there! Highly recommend stopping by to grab a bite!

Big Gilley’s delivers with Big Flavor! Found this dive on our way to Broken Bow and am so glad we made the diversion. Everything from the pulled pork sandwich, smoked ribs, smoked queso or hand cut fries are wonderful.
