Big John’s Huntsville (Food Truck, & Catering) — Restaurant in Huntsville

Big John's was a pleasant surprise. When I go to barbq place s for the first time,I usually pick something safe for everyone claims to be good but not. Just being honest. Upon entering I was greeted by to young gentleman that was full of life. We engaged in the convo about barbq after I ordered my safe bet wings. I told them that I was going to get the ribs but had some bad experience at other places serving what I call pork jerky. One of the guys said you cheated yourself and asked for a sample rib from the kitchen. To some things up the rib was good!It was a baby back that was very tender and seasoned right. There was no sauce masking the barbq and wouldn't recommend using. I received my order in less than 5 and was ready to get home to sample what I purchased. I wasn't a mile away before my hand was in the box pulling out a wing lol. When I tell you that these wings were so good that I could have finished them before making it home to finish the sides.I avoided that temptation and finished the complete meal at home.My choice of sides were baked beans and Mac and cheese. Both of these sides were made with love meaning homemade. To sum up my visit this place gets the thump up and a must visit.The wings are some of the best I've had. The rib was good,the sides were good,and the sticky buns cinnamon bun was good. Cant wait for the next visit to pick up some of...

8/17 Update: Big John's is now located on 72 in The Open Bottle (I requested an hours and location change through Google.) Was glad to finally get to try them again! The Philly Cheesesteak was so delicious. So messy and delicious. It was definitely worth the wait! Definitely stop by the Open Bottle and give them another try. Can't beat the location. They have a great selection of beer and drinks to go with your delicious BBQ!

If you ever find yourself if harvest and wanting some BBQ, Big John's should be your stop. It's connected to an Exxon gas station. It's on the right side and The Event Bar is on the left. (Another great place to eat, btw.) I got the rib combo plate. It comes with two sides. I got the Mac and cheese and coleslaw. I appreciate that the coleslaw states on the menu that it's vinager based. You never know what kind of slaw you are going to get at a bbq place and it stops the questioning by having it clearly stated.

The ribs had a lot of flavor. They weren't exactly fall off the bone but the flavor was amazing. The Mac and cheese has super cheesy and creamy and the coleslaw was a classic vinegar based slaw. This was a delicious meal and I can't wait to come back and have more when I'm back in the area.

This was my first time visiting Big John's and I was upset with the wait I experienced for what a BBQ place would keep on hand normally. I ordered a pulled pork combo & sandwich but several customers came after me & left before me. I had to go back in to check on my order & after the young man went thru receipts it seemed they were just starting to prepare my order. When the young man brought out my order I didn't get an apology or thank you instead I told him thank you. Customer service is everything believe me I've worked with customers for years. The food was pretty decent but my first impression wasn't which is why...
