Bigun’s Bar-B-Que Brooksville, FL — Restaurant in Florida

Tell 'em John and Beth sent ya!

Very simple. Read my lips, uh, my review! You want good food? You want great and friendly service? You want to walk away full and happy? Then look no further! Period.

Whether you visit for breakfast! Or lunch! Or dinner on the weekend, you'll be wooed with food! Yes, I just said that! Most locals know about Biguns breakfast. They have a whole lot of regulars, and there is a darn good reason. Excellent food, lots of choices and the staff totally treats you like family! Fab one and I eat breakfast here quite often, and it's a treat every single time.

Today, I ventured out on my own. Without my fine foodie female at my side. Imagine that? I had worked like crazy all morning, so I was a hungry man. As I was driving, thinking about where to go for lunch, I spotted that familiar little red stretched Monopoly house affectionately called Biguns. Great Southern name, eh? As I was passing by, I swear the woodsmoke from the Bar B Q pit wafted up and over two lanes of highway, entered through the a/c vents, grabbed me by the nose and devilishly beckoned me hither and yon..?? Well, something like that. Heck, I was already putting on my turn signal.

Enter into the most wonderful aroma filled eating arena you can imagine. That smoke sure does things to your mind and taste buds. The next best part is being greeted by Tammy & Dave, the owners, and Theresa, Deb, Danielle, Mark, Jack and the rest of the gang. Like a home away from home. Truly.

I, or we, when my beautiful Barbie Q babe is with me, love to sit at the little counter overlooking the kitchen. It's like being in the flight control tower on an aircraft carrier. A whole lot of arriving ticketed orders on the hook and departing food flights catapulting to the diners! Fun to watch! Tons of activity on the flat top!

I opted for a man-sized meal on this visit. I'd been chopping down an old oak tree, using a chainsaw and a tractor, so I was feeling pretty 'macho'(Love that old word!).

Back to the food. Danielle set before me a plate of ribs that even Fred Flintstone would envy! They were quite large, with a whole lot of juicy-looking meat and a trickle of juice running down off of them. I could see the unmistakable signature of a talented Pit Boss, in what's known as the Smoke Ring. It's that wonderful reddish-pink layer just under the crunchy crusty outer bark. A sure sign of awesome tastes to come! These ribs were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Fall off the bone tender, so full of flavor and oh so good.

Oh yeah. I seem to remember along with the ribs, I had a choice of two sides. I got a salad and some collard greens. They played very well together in this fork and fingers fiesta!

Bottom line. Whether you're an early bird, or like to sleep in late, Biguns will set you up with some mighty fine dining. Breakfast, lunch or weekend dinner. Right about now I figure it's time for you to quit reading and surfing the web, cause you've built up quite a hunger.

Pick up your phone. Lock Biguns into you GPS. But beware, cause I'll bet Siri will want to come out of hiding and join you!!!! (or whomever your...

Welp hum. If your in a wheelchair not the place to go. The tables are packed tight. When Yvonne "greeted" me and my friend she said sit where ever. Yes the place was busy. The only place I could wheel my friend it did block part of another table. There was no where else. Yvonne keep looking at me and looking upset. I was polite to the customer that wanted to blocked seat. And let her by. Yvonne gave me nasty look. I told her this was the only place I could park my friend. No response from her. Just walked away. Our waitress finally came up. I understand. Hey they were busy. She asked us what we wanted. I asked if we could order drinks first. She was surprised Yvonne didn't do that. I wanted to walk out. But my friend was more important. Thank you Delores for being kind and understanding. My friend has some disabilities. And Dolores was super about it. So shout out to her. Yvonne maybe the next time you have someone in a wheelchair, you should seat them where you think is the best place to sit. That was a special day for my friend. And you were not going to ruin it. I suggest also making it more handicapped accessable. And the door is very difficult/ heavy . Food was alright. The inside...

I called this barbecue place today to order dinner for my family. They close at 2:00 p.m., so I thought I’d pick up some food and avoid cooking tonight. When I called, I asked for a family dinner and mentioned that there were three of us. They assured me that this would be plenty. However, as you can see in the picture, the food was hardly enough for one person. I added six chicken wings to the “family meal” just to make it look like I was getting my money’s worth.

The barbecue itself was disappointing. The brisket was extremely dry, the chicken was overcooked, and the ribs were okay, but that’s all I can say about them. The chicken wings were probably the best thing I had, but they were still just okay.

My family and I will not be returning to this place. It was their second chance, and they stopped by for breakfast. The food was bland, but the waitress suggested that we try the lunch or dinner, which was supposedly better.

On another note, how can you advertise a “family meal” and serve food that barely...
