Brisket was tough and chewy but great flavor. The beans and mac n cheese were amazing though. I don’t think the meat was fresh smoked from today.

I can’t think of a place in the state that us back to what real Texas BBQ tastes like but we finally found one here. Otis (the owner) was extremely friendly and we enjoyed hearing his story. Amazing pulled pork, brisket and ribs. The ribs could have had a little more meat but the flavor was there. For sides the beans, Mac and coleslaw were awesome. Waterford is lucky to have this place and an owner who really has a passion for what he does. Can’t wait for our next visit. Boomer Sooner!!

Don’t mind the location but the meat was very dry/overcooked/old take your pick. Highlight was the beans and that’s not exactly what I was after when hopping for good bbq. I hope they cook stuff fresh from now on and don’t overcook the meats. Very nice people though!

Brisket was very greasy. Ribs were so burnt and dry that they didnt even taste like pork. For $18 you got 3 thin slices of brisket. Ribs were $18 also and you only got 3 ribs. The mac & cheese and the beans were tasteless. Peach cobbler was good but very sweet. We were spending winters in Texas before covid and every bbq place in Texas far surpassed this. We will not return.

Big O’s makes the best food the Waterford/Burlington area has to offer. It’s the best Texas BBQ I’ve ever had, especially from Wisconsin. You need to try the pulled pork and mac n cheese!!!

Awesome! They smoked the beans?! My family makes a version of the beans they offer-but theirs blew ours out of the water. My husband thought something was wrong because I made a face when I took the first bite-it was a face of amazement. I can never enjoy my amazing “secret family recipe” ever again without being reminded that mine are now mediocre at best.

Otis is from Dallas and you can taste it in the food. Genuine Texas dry rubbed smoked barbecue. Amazingly tender and tasty. Highly recommend.

Went here for lunch today…. First time. I didn’t know it was here. Had ribs. They were very good! Big O gave us a tour of the place and shared his plans for an outdoor dining area with entertainment. I suspect that the excellent food, service, and vision will pay dividends as time goes by. If you like barbecue… You can’t go wrong giving Big O a try!

Thank you for a great meal! The ribs fell right off the bone and the meal took me back to the South. My favorite part of traveling South is the BBQ. Otis and Leon were friendly and chatty while waiting for the take out to be bagged up. We will be back!
