First time here and was craving BBQ. Brisket didn’t have any flavor, Mac & cheese had no flavor, the potato salad was not to our preference as it was mayo with no mustard and I don’t believe there was any relish in it, the sausage wasn’t bad but it didn’t stand out, the ribs were great, and the beans were really good however it was more like Brisket chili. The chopped beef and pulled pork are dry so if you prefer your sandwich with sauce, I recommend using theirs on it. They’ve got regular and spicy bbq sauce and both were really good! We were going to get chicken but they only have breasts, we prefer dark. The place itself is really nice and the customer service was excellent! There is also a self serve bar of jalapeños, onion, dill pickles, and their made in restaurant sweet and spicy pickles.
I really really love the smoked turkey sandwich..so so good. Great portions! Great ratio of meat to bun. They have some of the best BBQ sauce, not too sweet , not too vinegary. I love all of their meats but the sides are not my favorite.
We spent in total $60
I had Brisket sandwich With sides and my partner had the pulled pork sandwich With sides. My Son had the macaroni and beans. My Brisket sandwich Was good but greasy. It tasted better with the sauce that they provide. I give that a 6 out of 10.
My partner had the pulled pork and described it as eating jail food. 1 out of 10.
For my sides my partner and I both had potato salad and the beans. And on the first bite, it was not good at all. The beans weren’t fully cooked, and the potato salad lacked flavor. I tried giving my son the beans and he spit them out, and that’s saying a lot, because he eats everything. I could barely take one bite. 1 Out of 10.
My partner ordered banana pudding for him and my son, and enjoyed it quite well. And they would rate it 6 out of 10.
And lastly, my son ate his macaroni and he enjoyed it quite well. He is one years old and can’t speak yet, but I would say he would rate it as an 6.5 out of 10. Because he didn’t finish it all.
The customer service was awesome and the atmosphere, well there wasn’t really too many people there so 10 out of 10.
And in the words of Keith Lee, this is my opinion you might find the food different to your taste, so please do go by And support them. God bless.
Loved the real bbq flavors of Bodacious. No fake liquid smoke, but super delicious pit flavors. Family ordered early for pickup, 10 people all ages raved about our meal including ribs, sliced brisket, pulled pork and beans. The meat was tender and juicy. Beans were exceptional, cooked with bits of port for flavor and texture. We returned the next day for more ribs and beans. The servings were very generous! Will definitely return!
We had the pulled pork and the pork & sausage sandwiches. The bbq taste was excellent and sandwiches were above average size. The bbq sauce was served warm and was mild & tasty. The baked beans with brisket had a nice smoky flavor. The baked potato was a side that had an up charge – it very big and also very good. You order at the counter and can eat inside or outside. Staff was courteous & helpful. There are some daily specials.
