Excellent food for fair prices. Convenient location for if you're already in the depot district (although if you're not already in this area and aren't familiar with it, be careful of the neighborhood it can certainly get real shady real quick). They also have trucks and they will go out to various busy and fun places and I run into them frequently. I've always enjoyed the food and the service in my experience has always been excellent. If you're in Lubbock, Big E's has worked it's way into part of the culture of Lubbock now, and is absolutely a must try if you're in the area!

These days the best barbecue isn't at a restaurant, it's from a truck. Stopped by to say hi yesterday and got a Large Plate. Owner is the nicest guy you'll meet. The rib meat fell off the bone, brisket melts in your mouth. The sides were great. Will definitely be going back.

Okay for 1 this place isn't great or remotely good AT ALL. Anyone who put 4 or 5 stars HAD to be too drunk to even notice anything. The food is flavorless the staff is horrible especially the intoxicated women serving the food and taking orders. (There was one guy that worked there that was decent and nice) The staff is usually rude regardless (been there 4 times now) im just fed up with the service and quality honestly. I don't even know how this place has as many stars as it does or why I ever went back . Maybe because it was just convenient at the time but honestly it's mostly drunk people who review this place because it's smacked right in the middle of all the down town bars so no one ever notices a difference. Either way it's garbage. Food quality 1 star, customer service half a star, oh and did I mention the price? Zero stars ! For the 5-6 bucks you are paying for 1 burrito that taste like nothing is horrible if I could I would negative 1 star. Let's not even talk about the sanitary levels. You might as well be dipping your burrito in toilet bowl water. The place is gross honestly and not even remotely clean. Please just fix your attitudes, clean up A LOT , and add some more seasoning to your food. Maybe try actually marinating your meat and I'll consider changing my review. I feel like I'm missing something though. Hopefully people get the idea already.
