Description

Nestled in Ferriday, this restaurant offers a mixed bag of dining experiences. While many patrons rave about the delicious smoked meats, including half chicken, ribs, and fried catfish, others have been disappointed by inconsistent food quality and limited options. The cash-only policy has also frustrated some customers, particularly work crews seeking to dine together. Service and cleanliness seem to fluctuate, with some guests noting friendly staff, while others report disorganization and unsatisfactory conditions. Overall, while there are standout dishes worth trying, potential diners should be aware of the challenges that accompany a visit.

Incredible barbecue experience at Big John's BBQ! I enjoyed the brisket and ribs platter, which was fantastic. The barbecue beans were absolutely delicious too. I appreciate the wonderful atmosphere and great food. The staff behind the counter were awesome and extremely friendly. Thank you!

The half chicken was outstanding, and the coleslaw was quite tasty, as were the baked beans. The staff were friendly, and the venue was clean. Just a heads up: make sure to bring cash since they don’t accept cards, which cost them a star. This restaurant is definitely on my list to revisit!
