Hard to find if you use Google maps. Its right at the corner of 20 and 42. Not on the Dunkin side.... large black metal building. Nice upgrade. Great staff.

Like my brisket to be less lean - fat is where the flavor’s at! - but that personal preference I guess.
I had 2 meat plate, brisket was just ok, ribs were better.

I don't think this Bodacious location gets the love it deserves. The bbq is always very good! The restaurant is clean and tidy. The staff is always super friendly and engaging. This location also has very tasty gumbo! From a quick meal, to a catered meeting or training class for your employees Kilgore Bodacious is always on point!!

The food tasted good, but they were out of pulled pork and root beer. The buns were a bit dry and hard. The employees were kind and helpful, but not necessarily in a hurry (one was on the phone).

One of the things I really look forward to when I come into town is Bodacious, and usually get a good bit to take back to TN with me. However, this time I did not. We got an assortment of meats and everything but the sausage was too dry and didn't have its usual flavor. Very disappointing, especially for the prices they charge. I usually don't mind the cost because of the quality but this time I did.

I bought 3 plates of sliced brisket and asked for moist not fatty. What we got were slices of brisket with a large fat pad on the top, but they were tough and dry. For the money it's not worth it... p0

Nice big clean place good prices. Service was “I have a job but I don’t really like my job” attitude. Brisket was flavorless. Sausage was bland and had a weird texture. Mac n cheese I could’ve made better from a box. Sauce and green beans were really good.

Very good pulled pork and sides. The gumbo is delicious. And you can fit a 18 wheeler in there.

Cool place, has a really down home backwoods feel to it. I wanted chicken, but they were out. I ended up getting a chopped Brisket sandwich and it was great, with a side of fresh tangy coleslaw. Staff was friendly.
