Big Bib BBQ — Restaurant in New Braunfels

Finally made it back since the remodel and name change. Went in and ordered a family meal for 4 for take out. Pricing was $69 for brisket, sausage, rib tips (Which I’ve never heard of) pulled pork and Chicken, bread snd 2 sides. Mac n cheese and potato salad. I really had high hopes that this place was going to be super good, so went in right when they opened to get “Fresh cooked food”. So I thought. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. The brisket was cut thick and chewy w/not much flavor. The sausage had good flavor, but to dry and tuff to chew. The Rib Tips were just not my thing. They looked like they were left overs meant for doggies. The pulled pork was dry and just didn’t have a good taste overall. The only thing I liked was the Chicken and Mac n cheese. The potato salad tasted more gourmet than traditional BBQ Potato salad. However, the Chicken was good, but is Chicken really BBQ? My husband liked the Chicken and rib tips, but agreed that the sausage, brisket and pulled pork were just an overall bomb. I will say the pricing for all the food was reasonable. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is very well done. I just really wished the food was better in texture. I will go again and dine in to know if it was just an “Off” day...

I went here today because I wanted some BBQ and I have been here before and the food was pretty good. Well I walked in and started to order. I asked about the sausage and asked them if I could see it so I could see if it was what I thought it was. The people behind the counter were too incompetent to figure that out. I asked almost 10 times to explain it another way because they just kept telling me it was 5 inches long and I am like, that is not what I asked. I finally said forget it and just ordered the brisket. The black lady behind the counter (which I assume is an owner or manager or some sort because I have seen her before there and she screams authority figure to me) showed me the sausage with a snotty attitude like I wanted in the first place. I was being completely nice about it and did not make a scene or anything and was going to let it go. My fiancé and I decided to just leave and we won’t be back due to her actions. Get better and nicer staff or teach the ones you have to be respectful when a simply question is asked. (I didn’t even want the sausage handed to me. I simply wanted to see if it was the typical smoked sausage I am used to before I purchased it. I also didn’t even want to try it. I just wanted to see what it...

This was a great decision. The bbq here is top notch. From the moment you step out of your car till the moment you get back in your car you are permeated with a wonderful aroma of pure deliciousness. We had the Big Bib platter which consisted of 1 lb of each: brisket, rib tips, jalapeno sausage, chicken, and pulled pork, all smoked, 2 x-large sides, and a loaf of bread. The leaded baked potato casserole and the green beans for the side were insanely good. We ordered an additional side of cheese macaroni and collard greens. Everyone raved about the food with one lone exception, the chicken. The chicken, although juicy and smoked to perfection, lacked flavor besides the smoke. A little bbq sauce fixed that but it shouldn't have too, the meat should be the star of the show. Everything else was extremely good, including the sliced onions with pickles. On top of all that, the prices are extremely affordable. Hands down a must try if you haven't already. 2 thumbs up. A repeat customer next time I'm in the area. Only wish they had the turkey legs which were...
