However, the brisket on top was enjoyable; it had a nice flavor, great texture, and a generous portion. Unfortunately, there wasn't much in terms of toppings like sour cream and cheese. I had a hard time scooping out the potato from the skin. The BBQ sauce was quite vinegary and thin, which is just a matter of personal preference (and it's not mine). I couldn't eat the potato, but the brisket was the highlight of the meal. Perhaps the brisket and other meats could be worth trying, but I can't speak to the rest of the menu since that was all I ordered.

I'm definitely planning to order it for Thanksgiving. The brisket was tender and full of flavor, and you simply must try their okra. I could go on and on about how great the food is, but it's starting to cool down! You should definitely stop by—you won’t regret it!

My husband had the burnt ends and sausage, along with mac and cheese and potato salad. We both found the food to be just average; we’ve had better elsewhere. However, if you enjoy spicy flavors, their spicy barbecue is definitely worth trying—it was really tasty!

From the outside, it looks pretty ordinary, but as soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by the delicious smell of BBQ, whisking you away to a place where amazing service and tasty food meet! I ordered a two-meat platter with pulled pork and brisket (sliced right in front of me), along with burnt ends, a jalapeño stuffed with brisket and wrapped in bacon (which they call a firecracker), fried okra, and green beans. The owners clearly take great pride in their food and treat you like family, checking in multiple times to make sure we were happy with everything. The food was fantastic, and their spicy BBQ sauce definitely has a good kick! The brisket was so flavorful that it didn’t even need any sauce, the pulled pork was incredible, and the burnt ends were delicious. I will definitely be returning!

This place feels like home sweet home and the food definitely hit the spot. The menu has slimmed down but I prefer it this way, straight to point and guides you to Big D’s favorites. Hubs had the brisket and I ordered a cheese steak brisket. Yum! Plates come with 2 hefty sides of your choice. I chose max n cheese potato salad which was more than enough to share. We left happy and stuffed! Service was hands down the best part. Indeed, a rare gem in Mansfield. Planning to return with our friends and family for more awesome BBQ, beer and next time board games. Thanks y'all!
