We had catering this weekend on both Friday and Saturday for 16 people while golfing nearby and the pulled pork, corn bread, brisket and ribs were amazing. Can't wait for next year to expand to the burnt ends. Thanks Big Kevs

we got the sampler for my husband with corn bread, me the BBQ brisket nachos, and both a lemonade, food was amazing my husband devoured the sampler and I wished I had gotten the large nachos over a small nachos, lemonade not too sweet and not too sour, the perfect balance.
Big Keys BBQ has some serious flavor potential. Their BBQ sauce is incredible — a perfect mix of traditional and Carolina-style. It looks like a classic tomato-based sauce, but you can really taste the mustard and vinegar that give it a tangy, flavorful kick. Easily the best part of the meal.
Unfortunately, the chicken was dry, which was disappointing. It lacked the tenderness and juiciness that you expect from well-done BBQ.
There are picnic tables outside, which work great on a nice day, but it would be helpful to have indoor seating— especially in bad weather. Right now, there's a side-by-side UTV being used for storage inside, and while it adds to the rustic vibe, replacing that space with functional tables would be more useful for guests.
Overall, the staff was friendly, and there’s definitely something special in the sauce. With a few improvements, Big Keys could really stand out on the local BBQ scene.

Will absolutely be back if in the area
Came here with my wife and few friends after the 10k spartan race. What a treat it was, especially after the race.
I would HIGHLY recommend their ribs and pulled pork. My mouth is watering just thinking about this.
Oh yeah - had the pleasure to meet the Big Kev's son. Really cool guy 😎
So we had ordered the sausage, burnt ends, and 2 samplers(pulled pork/brisket/2 ribs). The burnt ends surprising not bad felt had a chicharon texture that was just placed into a soup. So still a crunch but soft enough where the crunch doesn't hurt the mouth. A little sweet from the BBQ glaze bit overall rank 4 out of the things we had. The pulled pork was a little dry and a little on the sweet end needing the supplement of BBQ sauce that had to be requested so 5th. The ribs were on the lean end light but also needing the extra BBQ sauce to support it so 6th. We had two distinct pieces of brisket, one where it only had lean meat and we really needed to stab with our fork to pick it up, very dry and very chewy ranked 7th. The brisket with some face rendered on it was pretty good the bark gave it a nice flavor with it being fall apart to the touch of our plastic forks, will say BBQ elevated the taste rather than needing it ranked 3rd. And by golly the sausage was fantastic, the skin was bouncy and crisp on the bite, the cheese inside spurted and oozed from every bite, very well seasoned with a bit of heat from the jalapeño. Bite was so good, I found myself closing my eyes immersing in the harmony of flavors. Will say though when we ordered it was nice and hot, if it was cooler it may have come off too creamy and greasy. So it deserves rank 1. Sausage so good we had to get a second one after finishing our plates to reconfirm. It deserves praise
Excellent bbq spot
