Big Woody's BBQ — Restaurant in Saint Charles

Absolutely 1 of the best BBQ joints period!!! Big Woody's has perfected their technique of Smoking their meats. The Ribs are fall-off the bone, fork tender & the 2lb. Pork Steak does not get neglected either. The bone pulls right out of the middle of the Steak cleanly. The Potato Salad is creamy & tasty & the Baked Beans have a nice smokiness to them with a hint of a bite. For a person who is not really crazy about Hush Puppies, because most that I have had or either flavorless, overfried, or gummy. Big Woody's Hush Puppies are light w/ a crispy outershell, but tender & sweet on the inside w/ golden nuggets of corn nestled inside. Probably the best that I have had. Now, the Hog Balls were alright. I don't think they were what I expected after reading the ingredients from the menu. They are basically an upgraded Hush Puppy, but honestly I preferred the original Hush Puppies much better. I didn't really care for the Mac N' Cheese, but it was just a personal preference. I prefer traditional w/ lots of cheese. I almost felt like I was eating a version of Pasta Alfredo w/ Bacon added to it. Big Woody's Sauce compliments their smoked meats & anything else that U desire to put it on perfectly. Big Woody's has become my new BBQ establishment, it's just a hole in the wall place that let's the smoked meats do alllll the talking!! They say big things come in small pkgs. Big Woody's is a case of dynamite that brings & hits U with a "BANG"!! Excellent Customer Service w/ a nice cozy, homey feel. Big Woody's is true BBQ done right just the way it's supposed to be. Don't make the mistake of passing this establishment by, U will regret it deeply.... Prices are reasonable for what they serve & if U don't get filled up, it's...

The bbq sauce is not good, and the rib tips barely qualify as rib tips. The brisket sandwich was decent and well seasoned. But I can't say I'd ever go back. There's just too many better options first. A rib tip is something special. Well seasoned, juicy, tender, large chunks of meat. What I got was a handful of pieces smaller than my fingertips swimming in a pool of salty sauce and grease that drained out of the container and into the bag. Places like Bobaque, Smokehouse on page in St. Louis, Romero's BBQ, etc., hell even dierbergs. These places give 7-9 nice sized tips about the size of two to three knuckles. That's my definition of rib tips, and yes, we do have different tastes and definitions. My one-star review is valid because it was my experience, and in that experience, I was unsatisfied by the main thing you sell, which is bbq. I didn't go there for anything else but that and when I got it, it was not good. Especially for the price I paid for it. I didn't eat in your establishment, which is why I was generous in giving 4 stars for service. Plus, I liked that you told me it's cheaper to order over the phone than online. I understand it's your business and way of life, so I expect you to take every review seriously, and I appreciate you responding to my review. What I don't expect nor appreciate is for you to take it personally and be so easily dismissive of my opinion just because it was negative. You have a whole host of people who seem to like your brand of bbq. The very same people, whose reviews were responsible for me, trying your food out. Unfortunately, I won't be one of them. No...

The food is good!!!! The fried pickles came off in one piece when I took a bite…the whole pickle. There was too much breading. There were passive aggressive signs EVERYWHERE! One said “if you wanna talk about politics, go to a bar - Thanks, Woody” woody had obviously never been to a bar! And the sign that said if you don’t like the music here, don’t sit here! - Thanks, Woody There were too many passive aggressive things! Another was “Jesus knows if you are tipping” at the register. All they do is take your order and walk to you and expect you to put your garbage away. Why am I tipping?

Needlessly to say I will never go here again. I like to bring my husband to new places, but this was below par on the “ambience” people talk about.

I felt like I could not be human, being censored in so many ways because of their passive aggressive signage. It needs to be taken down. If you really have that “cat calling “ customer that is written on another bag to the left of the register, do not give them service until they they are through with their phone call! Or just out and tell people you don’t tolerate different personalities! It’s easy!!!

Passive aggressive behavior is narcissistic, as well. Run your business as you want.

Btw, the lady at the register looked at me like I had 5 heads when I asked if they had anything other than soda to drink. She said “Iced Tea”. I was like no beer??? And then the look. Beer and bbq go together hand in hand,...
