Simple traditional BBQ menu at an affordable price. The brisket burnt ends were fantastic! Cole slaw is a vinegar based slaw with peppers and no mayo, 2 thumbs up. Sauces are flavorful and the spicy has some kick but not to hot to hide the flavor of the food. Beans were just baked beans, nothing fancy, would be much better if they were a mixture of different types of beans with some of that famous pulled pork mixed in and smoked. $13.50 for a dinner platter and a beer is pretty reasonable.

Nothing impressive about this "BBQ joint" The people raving about the food may need a legit BBQ experience. Stopped for lunch and ordered a combo pork/brisket plate (coleslaw and mac'n'cheese sides and supposed texas toast) for take out. Price was incorrect on the menu and was charged from more than the menu price. Pork and brisket portions are tiny and come wrapped in tinfoil probably to hide the unappetizing brownish-gray color. Unwrapping the meat reveals protein that is hardly "BBQ". Pork is mushy with minimal amounts of smoke and no bark what so ever, brisket is uniform color with little to no smoke ring and dry grainy texture. Both meats resembled something that was cooked in a crock pot or pressure cooker rather than a BBQ pit. Sides? Coleslaw is surprisingly good, but won't resemble what a vast majority of people will recognize as "coleslaw", it's a livelier version with peppers in a vinegar base. Mac'n'cheese wouldn't be horrible if it had been warm anytime in the recent past. Served at room temperature or slightly below its more noodles with coagulated cheese. Take a hard pass on this one! The complete swing and miss comes when the staff forgets to finish the meal with texas toast and/or let you know they don't include any sauce with the meal. And you will want sauce to make the brownish-gray meat more edible!!! Don't confuse this branch with the West Salem location which serves excellent fresh BBQ. If you're stuck in the downtown area there are much better choices for lunch or dinner. The experience was bad enough that no 2nd chance will be given.

Excellent pulled pork baked potato. My husband had the ribs and potato salad. Both of those were awesome ; salad not too heavy in mayo and great flavor, ribs slid off the bone with nice Smokey flavor. Heard the corn muffin was "too live for "! We'll come back.

First let me say that the food was good. Lots of people rave about it and I don't have anything bad to say about it. What I don't like though, is paying full service restaurant prices for a burger stand experience. Also, since I neither live or work downtown I drive to get there. Parking is very inconvenient downtown relative to most any other destination. If it was the only option around for tasty barbecue I would recommend it for that. But it isn't. I think Famous Dave's BBQ is about 90% as good, costs similar, you get real silverware and dishes, and are actually waited on! Plus parking is convenient there. I guess if Bigboar either increased their level of service or reduced their cost to what is appropriate, I would be willing to put up with the parking on occasion. But no, I'm not going to eat and drink from plastic & paper for $20 and up.

My girlfriend and I ate here several weeks ago and we will never return, for the food. The brisket could not get any dryer and the sides were bland. It tasted like everything was put in a microwave just before it had gotten to our table. For what you get and typical BBQ difficulty I'd say this place is average on price. The only reason why I gave it two stars is because the staff was awesome and super friendly. The environment is also perfect for the area you're in.
