It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, but once your inside you feel transported to a Western saloon of barbecue. The BBQ is very good and the prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend that you not wear your finest shirt.
November 2025
This was our second trip, the food was ok, not great. All you can eat bbq ribs, if you can find your server, she never came back, took 10mins to get our check. 18 percent gratuity added to check, didn't bother to debate that. There's better BBQ places to eat at.

Our great grand children will sing songs about the amount of ribs eaten today. I stole a copy of the secret recipe for the sauce and main ingredient is the tears of angels. Our server Carmine is truly doing gods work. He was extremely attentive and friendly. There are no words in the English language to describe how truly elite big Ed’s is. I have re-written my will to state I would like to be cremated with a full rack of big Ed’s ribs so that I may be one with the Smokey...
