Great business model... sell garbage to your customers so they never come back!! Pulled chicken sandwich was ground to oblivion ...it was mush with no flavor. Bun was smashed and wet. Mac and cheese way overcooked awful flavor. Sad, Big Al tries to profit by selling this terrible mess passing it on as food. Threw mine in the garbage after one bite. Wasted $15.00 on these clowns and they lost a customer that would have purchased regularly if the food was decent. 1st time in ...NEVER again.

Big Al’s bbq. Wake Forest. A meat lovers paradise. You name it, they’ve got it. Barbecue chicken, beef, pork. And such a wonderful selection of sides. We enjoyed the Cajun shrimp, fried okra and beef burgers. And the pork ribs of course. Good and quick service.

Overall Score: 6.0/10 - Unique BBQ experience with a laid-back atmosphere, diverse sauces, and knowledgeable service.
Atmosphere: 6.2/10 - The relaxed vibe of this BBQ spot is perfect for diners looking to enjoy a meal in a comfortable setting. With an array of sauces to choose from, the restaurant provides a truly customizable BBQ experience. The tableclothed tables add a touch of class to the otherwise casual atmosphere.
Service: 6.4/10 - The service here is both attentive and friendly, highlighted by a server who is well-versed in the menu’s offerings. The ability to customize orders, like choosing between lean or fatty brisket, significantly enhances the dining experience. The staff’s efficiency in managing orders and providing assistance is commendable.
Nachos: 5.3/10 - These nachos are basic but come at a fair price, making them a decent option for those seeking a simple appetizer. The pulled pork is well-cooked, and the generous addition of jalapeños adds a nice spicy kick. While not amazing, they deliver on what you would expect from a standard plate of nachos.
Sloppy Joe: 7.1/10 - The Sloppy Joe shines at this establishment, with meat sauce that is both tasty and perfectly seasoned. The spicy kick is just right, enhancing the overall flavor without overwhelming it. The bun holds up well, maintaining its integrity throughout the meal, which is often a pitfall for similar dishes.
Meat Baked Potato: 4.4/10 - The Meat Baked Potato falls a bit short of expectations, mainly due to the disproportionate size of the brisket compared to the potato. It’s challenging to get a balanced bite, which detracts from the enjoyment of the dish. The concept is interesting, but the execution needs refinement to improve the dish’s flow and coherence.

We had the ribs and the pulled pork. Pulled.pork very fatty and tasteless, ribs dry and over cooked. There was nothing good about the meal. Sorry I tried it. Never again
Food was great, not so salty. Atmosphere was good. It is worth the 20 minutes one way for us to go eat there. The menu has many options. Service was great.

Absolutely one of the TOP GRADE BBQ restairants in our area !!! Food is smoked to perfection, always hot, and portions are great !!!
Of all the BBQ restaurants around, this one is our favorite !!!
Leftist clowns slammed their ratings years ago for NOT toeing the ridiculous social distancing and masking line. Ignore the clown reviews !
This place is BOSS !!!
I try to dine here every month. Try it. You'll become an instant fan !!!

Everything but the brisket was good/great: sauces, hush puppies (both jalepeno and regular), onion rings, mac and cheese. Unfortunately I have to agree with other reviewers about the brisket being dry and flavorless (we got the family brisket pack for $35, half lean, half normal). I would’ve given it 4 stars, but chose 3 because the brisket/pork combo was $37, while brisket alone is $35 and pork alone is $32. Makes no sense given you dont get more with the 2 meat combo.
Parking: Shared parking with other stores in the strip. Tons of spots.

Ordered cheesy fries with brisket, came with pulled pork cheese Sauce and fries were like out of a ballpark. Ordered brisket, tender decent crust, no flavor. Ordered brisket sandwhich, with lean brisket, came out fatty. Slaw is 5/10 and little amount very runny Hush puppies and corn bread were amazing Total was 58$ which is expensive for 2 meals 2 sides one entree.
