Family and I went on a very busy Sunday evening and had a great meal and great service. Between the four of us we had baby back ribs, brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends and hot links and we all shared off each other plates. All the meats were delicious, 5⭐️ on the meat. Sides and sauces were ok but tasted liked something from the grocery store. That’s the reason for the 4 star review overall. Our waiter Andrew was friendly and kept our drinks filled. Awesome BBQ will definitely be back.
Im not a big bbq fan but when i find a good place i must give a shout out.. Biggs did they thing, LOVE their Burnt Ends, St. Louis Ribs, BBQ baked beans and Sweet potatoe fries.. Yes it was Great!
They have homemade rootbeer and give you free fries to try there sauces. Can't say enough.
I've always loved their chicken halves - the meat is always moist and tender melt-in-your-mouth. Tonight I ordered it with St. Louis for the first time and I'm glad I did, they were the best ribs I've had in years. They're super meaty and just like the chicken the meat is soft and tender and just falls off the bone. I wish I had tried them sooner but over the years I got kinda burned out on ribs after eating so many that were either sickeningly greasy or leathery and stringy. The sweet potato fries are also top notch.
The pork belly is delicious. And the beans are my favorite side!
Do not order the egg rolls. The pulled pork has cheese init that resebles the kind you get out of a jar. Who puts runny cheese on pulled pork? Root beer has a funny taste also. Nothing special about it.
Stopped by for a to go order and they were so nice and very helpful. Good BbQ
If you like cheesy corn you have to try it here. The bbq was really good also along with the bottomless fries. I'll be making this a frequent stop!
We had the most amazing server. In fact, she did such a great job we tipped extra and spoke with her manager about how wonderful she the service was throughout our dinner. The food was delicious. It is rare to find someone that truly seems to enjoy being a server but she had a great attitude. This was our first visit but we will be visiting again in the future.
The food was great. Great barbecue sauce. This staff really make a great atmosphere for the place. They are extremely friendly. The price was very reasonable.
Love the BBQ burnt ends and St Louis ribs..
Great service and large food portions!
Good food and fun.
Awesome burnt ends and other barbecue entrees!
Our first time there and it was pretty good! Service was great. The food was good, as well. We got the 3-meat plate and shared it. The burnt ends were awesome. We also had the ribs and brisket. The ribs were very good, but the brisket tasted like it was warmed up from yesterday. I'd switch out for a different meat next time. I will go back, though.
Loved it! Was in Lawrence for two weeks. Wish I had time to check out multiple barbeque places, but I heard this place was one of the best in Lawrence. Bigg's did not disappoint. I had the burnt ends and Saint Louis Ribs. I also mixed the corn bread muffin, honey, and baked beans as I always do and this mixture at Bigg's was one of the best I've ever tasted!
Excellent food more than you can eat and cooked and served in under 15 min
Ribs were dry, the cornbread was dry...the only thing that wasnt dry was the soda, which was flat. Chicken wasn't half bad, fortunately. Still, for the price? Its disappointing.
I have never been impressed with this place. It is not bad. Just not my "go to" location. I do not give it much thought when I am thinking of eating. Others in my house can take it or leave it as well.
Best BBQ in Lawrence!!! Side dish selection and their flavor is great. Fried mac n cheese!
Food was good the couple times I went but I haven't been back since I literally got served a fried cockroach right on top of my pile of french fries. The server was mortified when I showed her and the manager came out a bit later to apologize. I think they were as disturbed as I was, but honestly, it was right on top of my fries. I saw it before I even touched my food. How did this get served to a customer? What condition is your kitchen in that this happens?
Decent food. Carryout took a long time
Love the sweet BBQ sauce.
The food is amazing.
This is my favorite bbq place in Lawrence. The food is delicious Kansas barbecue, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the TVs are tuned to sports, and there's a lot of seating.
Awesome place! Clean, great service, great food!
Delicious, server was very willing to help me eat safely GF!
We had an online order that was suppose to be ready within 30 minutes but wasn't. We expected at least the food would be good for the amount of time we waited but is wasn't. This business needs to reevaluate their BBQ/Smoked meets.
Service was great, Beer was cold, food was hot! ... my family left with happy tummies and leftovers! ... the BBQ Egg Rolls are amazing to start with and we think the best ribs in town. ... The WINGS are huge and unique / a meal by themselves!
Great food and service Very good barbecue
This place has unbelievable food, reasonable priced, great and helpful staff and you should NEVER leave here hungry. Sunday is their all you can eat roasted chicken......super good!
Very nice BBQ option in Lawrence, KS. I wish I have discovered this place earlier. Nice food and great interior.The service could have some improvements but they are trying.
Delicious bbq. Came here from Texas and loved everything we had. Good prices and big serving sizes!
Great food and service
Great food and atmosphere. Great service. Big restaurant with lots of seating and very clean. Everything I've had has been delicious. Love the "sweet" sauce. Best side dishes at any barbecue restaurant I've ever been to - had the grilled sweet corn and sauteed garlic spinach last time and both were TO DIE FOR!! Also love their fried okra.
Second best BBQ I've ever had behind only Dreamland in Birmingham,AL The platter for 2 is enough to feed 3. The deep fried Mac and Cheese was A-Friggin-mazing and we're the St Louis Style ribs and pulled pork. Least favorite was the baby back.
Really enjoy this place!!
Excellent food and large portions! Ordered meal for 2 and lad plenty of leftovers. Nice environment and courteous staff. Will definitely return!
Crazy good BBQ! Prices like it's 1999 all over again - fed a family of 7 for $60! Our go-to place in Lawrence.
My husband and I went to eat at Big's for our 3rd time. Our previous 2 visit were good. The food was delicious. We went back for our 3rd visit after several months and it was the worst date night ever. We had gotten our order to go so we wasn't able to complain about the food and wasted money and terrible food. I ordered chicken strips and they wasn't cooked all the way done. They was still raw looking on the inside. My husband got the chicken fried chicken and it was extremely over cooked. Don't forget the onion rings, they was absolutely disgusting and didn't at all have the appearance of onion rings. Someone literally just dipped a handful into the batter and then took that handful and fried it up like that so our onion rings seriously came out in huge chunks that was double the size of my chicken strips. With the onion rings being lumped together like that, they didn't even get fully cooked in the middle. Total waste of our money. The food used to be good but this was the worst food I have ever gotten served at a restaurant and had we stayed there to eat, I would have complained and got my money back. We don't plan on going back.
Ordered food to go... did not get what I asked for... waste of my money and time... go somewhere else!!
Best barbecue in Lawrence!
Great service and friendly staff. Home owned. My go to is the smoked hot link plate with baked beans and cheesy corn. Although I've had the ribs and brisket too. All meats smoked to perfection. Doug and Shawn run a great BBQ joint.
Overall a great experience! Lots of food for the money. 4 homemade sauces, all delicious! Beer was cold and the atmosphere was warm. Very friendly staff. Food was very good. Brisket was a little dry for my taste, but the burnt ends were awesome. I like the little bowl of free fries to start with so that you can taste all the sauces before your meal. All in all a good place to spend an evening and enjoy some bbq!!
Love the St. Louis Ribs & their chopped beef sandwich, missed their baked sweet potato, the roasted garlic potatoes were good. The service was excellent. If we ever come back this way would definitely come back here!
Most restaurants offering a 2 meat combo give smaller portions of each. Not Biggs, there were good portions of each - enough for 2 sandwiches.
This place has never disappointed me in the several times we've been in, in the past three years. Many more trips to come;) highly recommended.
Great place! Try the burnt ends!
I would give them 0 stars due to management! We got food poisoning after we ate here and instead of working with us to solve the issue or refund us our money like REAL restaurant managers do for customer service, he instead mocked us and claimed we were lying. “Food poisoning doesn’t happen that fast” according to him when it can happen as little as 30 minutes. He claims no one else got food poisoning (as if he’d know within an hour) as if it MATTERS. Food poisoning can happen in MANY ways. Any REAL manager of a restaurant would know that! He said he needed HOSPITILIZATION PROOF for his “insurance” and told me how I’m not going to sit here telling him he has bad customer service. He was sitting here arguing with me saying “there’s nothing he can do” and didn’t care if we said we wouldn’t come back. Asked for proof of where we sat, our waiter, our card number, names, and more. Claimed he would take down my information and call me back. We will see. I was a manager of a restaurant for AWHILE, this is NOT how you treat your paying customers!!!! But I forgot, he was in the business for 40 years so apparently he knows everything. How dare you sit here and accuse your customers of lying. You NEVER do that. Anyone with REAL customer service knows that!!! I will never be coming back here and I will tell everyone I know about this place. WORST PLACE. And on top of that, the food SUCKED!! Going to report this place for health violations!
Pretty good stuff.
Fantastic food and service.
Great service. Friendly atmosphere and the best bbq I have ever had .
Awsome food great taste awsome service...decent price
The burnt ends and barbecued beans were outside of this world. The taste was amazing. Our waitress Holly was so nice and very attentive. A must go if you are in the area. They know BBQ!
Bbq wings was excellent. Smoked Chicken was dry. Good Service
I'm a huge Barbecue fan. This is just terrible Barbecue. Dry, bland meat. The Baked beans were the consistency of wet dog food.
Awesome BBQ, the burnt ends are amazing and the baked beans were delicious, we also really enjoyed the smoked mac and cheese, clean place and our waitress was great, the house made rootbeer is delicious as well, hope the bottle and sell it soon. The cornbread muffins are yummy and definitely worth trying. 5☆☆☆☆☆
Dry flavour less BBQ chicken with no marinades. Service and ambience were good.
Very good food! Very good service! Will definantly be going back!
Biggs welcomes you with smiles and brightens your day no matter what. Our waitress was AMAZING and the food was delicious! Thank you for providing such a family friendly eating establishment!I love it!
Great food, service and atmosphere.
Just plain good BBQ! We had awesome service from Onya. A great place to watch sports and have BBQ! Check out the specials!
Love the original sauce! Just the right mix of season and spice! I had the sparerib dinner with the coleslaw and jalapeño corn bread muffin. Outstanding presentation and flavors. The boys had burgers that were incredibly large on flavor and appearance. Very generous side portions. The homemade root beer is a must too! So happy to find my new favorite BBQ place!
We wanted to try KC BBQ when in the area and tried out Bigg's. The restaurant was a bit chilly but nicely decorated. The kids were happy to see the fries delivered to the table. We tried the BBQ for 2 to sample a little bit of everything. Our favorites were the burnt ends and the baby back ribs. For sides we ordered green beans (nothing special but good), the cheesy corn (too cheesy for my taste and wouldn't order again), and the BBQ mac n cheese (very creamy and tasty). The corn bread was a bit dry but had good flavor. My son had the kids burger which didn't sit well with him and my daughter had the corn dogs. Decent beer selection.
Great BBQ for Lawrence. Good Sunday AYCE smoked and or fried chicken.
Waited 10 minutes to be seated. Seated ourselves and waited another 10 minutes and no one came to our table. We left.
Sorry... 1.5 years after my first awesome review.... This place has bombed. Sat at the bar .... Food was sub par. Food was served and had to wait 5 mins to get cutlery.... Food and service has bombed. No longer worth it
Best BBQ in town! I tried the new Hogg Homage sandwich and it is my new favorite sandwich. Plus the homemade root beer is delicious and the service is very good.
Food is descent but not fantastic. Nice big portions but quality is just slightly above average. I think the burnt ends are the best of their meats. Fries are homemade and good. Sauces are good. Bottom line... If you are really hungry and want a good value, Biggs is a good choice.
Great service food was good the ribs were awesome. Cheap beer prices too!
Great food very nice atmosphere!
Best BBQ in Lawrence!! Pleasant quick servers & good hot food. Great baked beans, meat& a little spice
Great food and service!
Bigg's barbecue if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Doug and his wife give extremely excellent customer service and the food so good!!!!!! All the way from Raytown Missouri. There barbecue is alot better than almost all of Kansas City's barbecue spots. Keep up the good work. William.
Wonderful ,and our waitress was just wonderful!!!!! Keep up the good work !!! Took my girls there for the first time for them !!!! Hard to leave ,we enjoyed our time so much
They had burt ends well into the Friday evening(my favorite)! The portions are large so bring your appetite. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I'll be back.
Awesome food. BBQ is top notch but other items are delicious too. Service is fast and personable. Great food good atmosphere and good people. Gotta go try it.
I order the same thing every time. The veggie burger on gluten free bun with fries. The sandwich is huge! You definitely get your money's worth.
Fantastic service. It's good barbecue, maybe not the best; but the service that it comes with us second to none.
i eat there alot good. bbq
Excellent service and food. Portions are generous. And the homemade root beer is tops!
Bigg's is really, really good. We had the smoked bacon meatballs for an appetizer. They arrived blazing hot and swimming in a wonderful dark gravy. You get a small amount of French fries to test the sauces. The sauces were good. The best results were achieved by blending the regular with the spicy sauce. This was some of the best BBQ meat I've ever had at retail. The smoked chicken was perfect! Perfect! The spare ribs were ok. The membrane was not removed from the back side of the rack. It's a ten second maneuver to remove it and allows seasonings to better penetrate the meat. But still, they tasted pretty good. The ribs were the perfect doneness for KCBS competition ribs. The sides were good, but the portions of BBQ meat were enough on their own. All of the sides were tasty. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It's really expensive to do BBQ right. However, I felt like we got a good value for the money here. Excellent! (But not quite perfect.)
Good BBQ. The best.
Savory meats. Their pulled pork is consistently moist and delicious ... Fresh. Only have been for lunch - staff is extremely friendly and courteous. The owner will check on check each guest and plate of food served!
Good! We will go back.
Wow! I'm left completely speechless after my experience. We ordered through EatStreet and both of our meals were incorrect. It was already 8 PM but we called Biggs anyway and the manager answered and was very understanding. Before my fiance hung up she could hear him already giving out instructions. When we got a knock on our door 30 minutes later it was the manager himself bringing us our food at 9:45 PM (they close at 10 btw) I cannot express how amazing this service was. Thank you!! Also the food was steaming hot
Good BBQ and chicken.
You can't ever go wrong with Bigg's. Food is always great, service is excellent. Portion size are huge and prices are good. The best in Lawrence, best in Kansas.
The service is as always excellent. We've never had a bad experience. Great American bar food. Fried chicken! 'Nuf said.
Waited to be seated no one showed up. I got my menu myself got my own seat flagged at one of the staff no service for 15 minutes so I left. There was only 4 customers
Definitely the best barbecue in Lawrence. The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, and the portions were HUGE! They have a really big menu in my opinion, and the prices are not bad at all for the quality of the food and how much food you get. The workers were also extremely friendly and helpful, and the food was served very quickly! I would highly recommend this place.
Not really sure what I think of this bar. It's weird ... Food was just ok.
Huge portions and great food!
Best bbq in larryville
Recommended by our hotel FD staff for good bbq. Comfortable atmosphere and excellent bbq. The combo pulled pork and baby back ribs was delicious. Multiple options for sides. Coleslaw and baked beans were right on :) I would recommend this spot for bbq to anyone traveling through Lawrence. Prices very reasonable also!
I’m going to start this review with the service was awesome the waiter went up and above for us, our appetizer was extremely good we had the nacho fries, my wife ate the 2 meat platter, the meat was flavorless and dry, she had the sausage and brisket, following sides were potato salad and cheesy corn. EVERYTHING WAS BLAN! As for myself I had the meatloaf sandwich, I feel as though whomever seasoned it dumped a full bottle of seasoning in with the meatloaf, the Mac and cheese both smoked and deep fried was very blan as well, however the manager was nice, we didn’t have to pay for my wife’s food, I’ve had better BBQ.
Excellent Barbeque! We had a 10 person group so we tried several "for 2" meals with different meats. Burnt ends, brisket, ribs were as good as I have ever found. The service was great and the atmosphere was perfect. Plenty of TV's to watch games. I didn't expect this when we pulled up but don't let the small "bar" looking outside fool you! Top notch for family!
I have never had great barbecue here, just good barbecue. I love the fries, but if I order burnt ends they should at least be tender.
Large portion sizes. Homey atmosphere. Country style food options and barbeque pork, beef, and chicken. Home made sides. favorites: sweet potatoes fries and broccoli salad.
This place has really good bbq food, service is always fast too. Draft beer here is also cold.
The food was tasty and plentiful. Amazing smoky flavor. Starters were large enough to split among 7 people. Ribs and smoked pork belly was awesome. SF
It was almost a 4-Star experience. I had the chicken breast, warm potato salad, cheesy corn casserole and peach cobbler. Good: The chicken breast was great! Moist and very tasty. The corn casserole was also good. Delivery was quick. Bad: The warm potato salad was runny. The peach cobbler left a lot to be desired. For the $5.00 price, it was maybe 1/2 cup serving. There was little to no “cobbler” to be found. Overall, I would dine in next time and choose a different side. Would pass on the cobbler. For the $28.00 price tag, I was very disappointed! Definitely not worth the delivery.
1st visit, found by reading reviews on another website. Food was very goid. I got a 2 meat sandwich and had enough meat to make another dandwich with leftovers at home. Love this place. Friendly staff and talked with owner. Very nice.
Dude. The food here is absolutely amazing.
Some of the best in Lawrence. I really like their ribs.
In Lawrence, this is one of the best BBQ Restaurants. Great, helpful staff.
This place was awesome!
Fantastic service. Excellent food. Great value for the buck. Dare you to find a better atmosphere.
Good food, great service. Highly recommend.
So good. We got the sampler for 4 and it was amazing! The service was great! We'll be back!
We love most everything here. The only thing is that the chicken can tend to be on the dry side.
I have a hard time getting my boyfriend to try BBQ because he is a picky eater and will not eat anything with a bone attached to it. However, I ordered the Sampler for 2 from Biggs one night and he could not stop RAVING about their ribs! I was pleasantly surprised to see him eating meat off the bone! Their smoked mac and cheese is another favorite of ours. Biggs is definitely our favorite BBQ in Lawrence.
Great food. Waitress was very nice. Excellent service. Atmosphere was very acceptable.
They were very busy but we were seated quickly. We received great service and the food was wonderful. I always enjoy Bigg's.
Best burger I've ever had!! Will definitely order again! Can hardly wait to try the brisket!
Nice sports bar type BBQ. Should have known when we walked into an empty BBQ during peak hours that it wasn't going to bode well. There is BBQ that you eat well past the point of pain because they have nailed it and you can't stop eating. There is BBQ that is so good that it brings everyone to the lunch room microwave when you heat it up, and tastes every bit as yummy when first served. Then there is BBQ that you don't finish and won't let waste space in your refrigerator. I left hungry and what remained was left behind. Hopefully this was an off-day for the place (does that happen in the BBQ world) and a return visit will rate higher.
Burnt ends were amazing!
Try the burnt ends, you won't regret it
Great food and awesome place to catch a game. Very good barbecue, brisket was perfect.
Great place, great food, great people, great price! Love going here with my family! Only place we go out to eat. Food is awesome! They have awesome burgers, fries, and barbecue sauce! The service is always awesome, they take care of us very well. Food comes in a timely manner. It also is very clean. I love that the price is very affordable even for my family of 9! I would recommend this place to everyone!
Aweome food , great service and beutiful restaurant !
The food was alright but my waitress was horrible. I Never saw her after she brought my food. I went the whole time with out a drink, it wasn't even like they were busy either.
Very polite service, probably the best bbq in Lawrence in my opinion. Not terribly priced, especially when you see your portions!
Awesome BBQ! Staff and decor great also.
Supremely accommodating on Mother's Day no less. Food was delicious, though the Mac and cheese was a bit runny.
Great food. Fun place.
Always friendly staff and great food
Very nice place. Atmosphere was very nice. The waitress was very accommodating and carried a intelligent conversation and was on top of checking if we were ok. Our food came out cooked just right. The tastes was great the mix of BBQ sauces that were available to choose from was good. The potions were huge and the price was very good especially with the amount of food you received. We definitely had leftovers to take with us. If you are looking for a good BBQ place we would recommend to give this place a try.
Best bbq I have had in a long time!!
Excellent food...good service
Best barbecue around. The meats have great flavor, the sauces are good, and the sides are commendable. Watch sports while sipping on one of a generous offering of beverage options. Clean and well-staffed. A must try in Lawrence!
Great food!! Awesome service!!
I'd say this place is ok, but far too expensive for just being ok. Our server, Waverly, was very attentive, the restaurant was clean, and the portions were "Bigg". There were a few issues. The first complaint was the temperature of the food. We waited for our food for quite some time and were really surprised when it reached our table at room temperature. Second was the food itself. The "free fries" to try the bbq sauces came out stale. My husband said his brisket and ribs were awful. He didn't touch his meal after the first few bites. My sliced chicken was good as were the edible pieces of sausage I received, however there were quite a few overcooked/impossible to eat pieces. Third was the dessert. We ordered banana pudding and while the pudding itself was good, the wafer was essentially a rock. You literally could not bite through it. For management's reference, we ate here on 1•16•19 around 7 p.m. It was our first visit and likely our last. We felt the $68 price tag was far too expensive for the quality of food recieved.
Service was very good. Food was great. Good atmosphere.
Great BBQ and good portions. St. Louis ribs, brisket, and hot link sausage. Oh, and fried Okra.
The double cut pork chop is the way to go!
The server melissa brought my salad out with her thumb planted on top of the lettuce..and a side of complimentary cold fries..yuck decided to leave and not order anything...
This wad a great hidden place in Lawrence. Food was great.
Great portions and options. Wonderful staff and hometown, welcoming type of atmosphere. You just might see some KU coaches or alumni there and the menu has some items you dont find at many other places in town if any. Best chicken fried chicken I've ever tasted and all of the cuts of meat are well seasoned and very tender.
Great food and great service!
Great food and service
Had a awesome brisket and a couple of cold beers I will definitely be back.
If this is best in Lawrence I feel sorrty for you. Drive out of town and get great bbq.
While the fries were crisp and the barbeque sauce trio fairly good. The burgers were nothing to brag about, if maybe even a bit of a let down. Their chicken fried steak was only good in the sense that I'm a salt lover, I'd still prefer Texas Roadhouse but enjoyed it. I can't say anything about their ribs yet but I'm sure they're pretty fair. The prices were pretty steep but service pretty snappy.
Staff is friendly. Food portions a amazing for the price. Great place,and great bbq.
I whole heartedly believe this is the best $12 I’ve ever spent on food in Lawrence. I’m sad it took me 2 years here to find this place.
I love bbq! This place has a nice atmosphere, super friendly staff and the prices are about what you'd expect for bbq BUT you also get huge portions. My husband & I have always left with containers of food we didnt finish... usually enough for another meal! Also, we have never had to wait for a table which is nice. Highly reccommend this restaurant!
Service was great, we had a party of 20. Food was out pretty fast and was fantastic. Looking forward to dinner there again in the near future.
Barbeque done right. Clean and welcoming restaurant, outstanding service, and the prices are nice. Best of all the bbq, sauces amd sides are really tasty
BBQ is delicious. Burnt ends are fantastic.
Great food and service would return prices are decent
What a great experience. Our server was so helpful. She brought out a burnt ends sample for me because I had never had it before and I loved it! I was also happy with the steamed broccoli and the garlic spinach. So nice to have some light green sides with the meat. So refreshing! My husband loved his Western burger. He said the bacon was thick and delicious and the Patty tasted fresh. My 20 month old daughter loved the fried okra as well as the other bits of our dinner. Recommend!
Good food! Great Service.
The kind of restaurant you'd see on Kitchen Nightmares.
BBQ
Great food and great service. We will be back again.
Friendly service and the food is good and you get large portions with endless fries
Great pulled pork sandwich and fries. Wait staff was swamped but handled it nicely. Will be back to try brisket and chicken.
