Mixed experience at Big D's. Which is to say it's a mixed gas station, convenience store, and Southern restaurant. I like cheap gas but I really came for the restaurant part of things. The low-down on this local: * It feels more like the first two. There is seating, but you're seated in a convenience store with gas pumps, kind of like the exits out in the New Mexico desert or Texas prairie that have a single store. Then again, I had amazing Indian food in the New Mexico desert, which is why I didn't count out Big D's. * It's hard to tell what goes on in the kitchen. I heard the beep at one point that suggests some food is microwaved. But I also heard a deep fryer going at another point. My friend got chicken fingers and I got "fat boy sausage" (sausage meat wrapped around cream cheese and jalapeno), so I can't really say how much Big D's is actually BBQ, but we both liked our foods. * Portion size was small for my sandwich, but my friend got a lot of chicken. Neither of our dishes had anything on them - his came with fries, my sausages came on bread with some BBQ sauce, and that was it. But they were tasty. But I would say the bread was rather low-quality. Not that they make in-house bread at this gas station. * Friendly, if a bit quiet, service. I got mine as a meal and the guy behind the counter said I took a large. I thought he meant I took the wrong bag off the display and I had to pay more. No, he meant I took too small of a cup of tea and he handed me a larger cup. Initially I was thinking 3 stars, but the sausage just refused to leave my mind. So I came back and got a sausage and a salad to go (needed some veggies in my diet). Good size salad, cheese sprinkled on top, even though they were quiet and didn't ask about dressing (fortunately I overhead and changed from ranch, but they didn't give me the vinagrette I ended up settling on). And I think they were very generous with the sausage they gave me for my 1/2 pound order. Do I recommend it to others? Definite maybe. Especially if you want the fat boy sausage. read more

We stopped here for some breakfast and it was pretty good. They had made to order breakfast. The only thing we wish they had was half and half cream. All they had was pump flavor or powder creamer read more

My friend and I went the other day for the first time. The staff were very friendly. The food was great. They know how to cook everything well. The onion rings and fries were perfect,,,crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got the turkey melt on rye and my friend got the patty melt and we both were happy with the food. read more

Old gas station convenience store turned into an eatery. Haven't gotten anything I wouldn't order again. He makes the best reuben ever. His Friday night special is a ribeye with baked potato (huge), side salad and roll. I recommend ordering one and splitting it or order two and enjoy leftovers on Saturday. He also makes great breakfast dishes as well as grab and go items in a heated case. I would never have dreamed such good food in a gas station! read more
