We loved Big Dan’s BBQ, the Cole Slaw and BBQ Beans were delicious, also. The Cheeseburger was made with Fresh Ground Beef, and all the trimmings. My only thought was, it needed a bigger bun. The atmosphere is of a family restaurant from a time gone by, quaint and comfortable.

Food was absolutely delicious, the pull pork and their sweet sauce, best I’ve ever tasted. Customer service was on point, and it made us feel welcome.

We enjoyed lunch at Big Dan’s after white water rafting at Wahoo’s. It was really good! I had the brisket (trimmed) and the others in our party enjoyed the BBQ sandwiches and burnt ends. The pies are made in house and are Great!

I’ll start by saying the food is excellent. It is delicious, especially the pulled pork. However, we were very disappointed with the service tonight. There is a sign at the front that says “rudeness will not be tolerated” but they only mean from customers, staff had no problem being very rude and condescending multiple times. I will likely be back for the delicious food but it won’t be for the service because it is very much lacking. If a customer asks a question, don’t treat them like garbage.

Went to Big Dans on Saturday night during a car show/cruise in. Simple, comfortable, environment! Walls loaded down with local high school football and sport memorabilia. One of those good small town feelings! I had the burnt ends with greens, my wife had the sliced brisket! All the food was great! Hot, fresh, made with love. My favorite part about small family owned bbq places like this is the variety of homemade bbq sauces. This place didn’t disappoint! Great food, we loved it, and will be back!

Some of the nicest people around, you honestly feel welcomed there, and yummy food! The ribs are very meaty, the brisket burnt ends are divine, and the greens have a fabulous spicy “kick”! Nice portions, really worth the trip!

My wife and I both had the BBQ chicken platter and we agree that it was exactly what we were looking for. Delicious and neatly served! I would suggest trying the mustard sauce for a little extra punch but is very good without any at all. As for the sides, anyone who doesn’t get the baked beans is missing out on a whole level that most beans never reach. Seriously, I can’t write any more about it because I’m making myself insanely hungry. This place is worth the stop! I can’t wait to try the ribs!!!

Ribs and burnt ends were good. Small portion on the burnt ends. Chicken was alright. Potato salad was good, but not so much their Mac & Cheese and Green Collards. Service was great. Overall, good BBQ place.
