I don't say this often about chain restaurants....but this place is becoming one of my favorites. The steak fingers and wonderful. The burgers are delightful. And The service is top of the list....someone took a page from the Chick-fil-A drive thru!!!! Have not been inside yet. But the drive thru is FAST. read more

Cheesecake NEVER disappoints, I had the baked potato it was good and fresh. I went close to closing and everything was still fresh

Pleasantly surprised at the food. We got a variety of sausage, brisket, pulled pork, and sides. Everything was good! Outside the traditional BBQ menu, I recommend the steak and chicken fingers. Comes with gravy and fries. The fried batter was delicious. Although the meat tasted under very seasoned, the gravy sort of made up for it. I appreciate how they allow you to grab your own pickles, onions, pico, jalapeño, etc. I usually like to add a lot! The interior is clean and well decorated. Very western style. If I was hungry after visiting the nearby strawberry picking farm, I would stop by! Not bad for a restaurant connected to a gas station! read more

Big Horn BBQ - Steak fingers are so good - Barbeque Near Me - Manvel, Texas

Solid bbq spot that is good for large groups. Stopped by after an activity filled morning and ordered a little bit of everything. The meats were solid. The pulled pork was juicy, the sausage snappy, and the brisket had a good flavor and was quite tender. For the sides: mac and cheese was extremly creamy and cheesy, kids loved it. The potato salad was average, I think it was a bit sweet for my tastes. Green beans were a good consistency between crisp and soft while the corn casserole was comforting. The chicken tenders and steak fingers come with classic white gravy. It's hard to go wrong when fried food is dunked in gravy. Surprisingly, the stand out were the fries. They are crinkle fries that were soft in the middle and incredibly crunchy on the outside. Will be back next time we are in the area. read more

Big Horn BBQ - Chicken tenders and steak fingers - Barbeque Near Me - Manvel, Texas

Hungry after visiting Froberg's, we decided to stop by Big Horn to check out their barbecue. For 5 adults and 4 kids, we order: - Large Platter of brisket: tender and not the juiciest but definitely not dry! It has good flavor even without sauce. - Large platter of pulled pork: nothing special, but good nonetheless - Large platter of sausage: solid sausage! - Steak Fingers basket: very nostalgic, reminded me like a more refined version of DQ's! - Kid's chicken tenders: the chicken were a bit dry but the portion was huge for a kid's platter! Each of the larger platters came with two sides. My favorites were the corn casserole and the broccoli salad. Overall, the barbecue here was good! It doesn't compare to the Truths and Pinkertons out there, but it was a good value for the price. read more

It was a tasty burger. The bun fell apart a bit though. I mostly ate it with a fork and knife cuz I didn't want to deal with messy hands. It is a cafeteria place so I got my food in line and took it to the table. They have a roamer wait person helping around the restaurant who got me stuff I forgot in line like napkins. There is a jalepeno, lettuce, onion and pickle bar for your burger. I had the unsweet tea. It is a nice pace for a burger and fries. There is bbq too. I will do that next time. read more

I just tried Big Horn for the first time for a late lunch. Affixed with a gas station, what a nice Texas treat for locals and travelers passing through the area. Drive thru I ordered my food through the drive thru. There was only one car ahead of me and things moved fairly quickly but yet slow enough for me to know my food wasn't gonna be thrown together. The young man that helped me was very polite, efficient and respectful. Food There's plenty of options for all palates so it's easy to indulge or eat more sensibly. All reasonably priced. There's even a good variety of kids' menu option. My single side of Okra was larger. The Okra itself was crispy and well but not overly seasoned. Brisket - tender, tasty, no frills, not overly seasoned and well cooked. I had forgotten to tell them if I wanted moist or lean so I was pleased to find they had gotten it just right. The turkey was juicy and like the brisket not overly seasoned. Everything tasted as if it was cooked at just the right temperature for just the right amount of time. Drink The unsweet tea was perfect and made with filtered water. It had no icky tap water taste. Cons The only cons are that I didnt receive any complimentary pickles, onions or peppers. Next time I'll have to remember to ask for them as I wasn't asked if I wanted to add them. Also I was expecting the jalapeno cheese bread to be a little cheesier and a little more jalapeno-y. It was nice and soft but kinda bland. read more

Don't hate me cause I'm about to racial profile this place....I'm a black guy from Dallas and I thought ain't no way this "white" country store had good ribs been to a lot like this and was let down. WRONG Big Horn BBQ is pretty dam good,the burgers,breakfast tacos are all on point . We don't even smoke meat anymore we go to Big Horn read more

Are there any Barbecue places that the brisket is tender without a bunch of fat?!! Once again I thought I would try this establishment; and once again I was so disappointed! I had to wait 45 minutes in the drive through line. I thought boy this must be a good place because even at11:30 am it was packed with customers! I ordered the chopped beef sandwich and sweet potato fries! Cost was $17.00. Once again the brisket was tough and dry as anything! I didn't receive any sweet potato fries only sweet potatoes that looked like mush! I would have taken it back but I wasn't going to wait another hr to go through the drive through line; as I have cancer and can't wait in line inside the establishment. I don't mind paying the price; but I do expect the product to be eatable! No, I won't be going back to this place again! read more

We stopped here on our way back from goat yoga on one of the farms. We were skeptical since connected to a gas station and it had mixed reviews, but it was really good. I had the bbq potato and the potato was very large and cooked well so it was soft all the way through. The brisket was good and not too fatty (which I prefer). My husband had the 2 meat plate and enjoyed it. The star of the show, however, was the fried okra. It was cooked perfectly, crispy but not burnt. Okra was well done and not slimy, and it was seasoned well. I'm picky about fried okra, but this was honestly some of the best I've had. It's definitely worth the stop if you're in this area. read more

We enjoy the food but- Every time we come to this Longhorn bbq the music blares us out. We come to eat - not to endure a loud concert type atmosphere. We have a hard time talking to each other over the loud unwanted music. If it doesn't change they will lose our business as there are a lot of bbq places around. read more

3/5/2025 - Our first time there, went with 5 persons. Overall it was 5 stars and went down to 2 stars due to a male person in our group was locked in the mens bathroom and only my comped $25 for 30 minutes of suffering in there. Ordered 3 fully loaded baked potatoes with brisket and 1 rib meal to be shared with 2 persons. Food was excellent. Brought out in 10 minutes. They changed the locks this morning we were told. Locked inside was an only man in his 50s and they never said sorry. Food was 5 stars and the care for patrons a total of 3 stars taken off For every 10 minutes locked in the bathroom. Imagine if a small child. We were about to call the fire department. Guy said our friend did it and then he got locked in when he repeated what my friend did. Oh my this place. See photos of the locked men's bathroom and food. Given just $25 gift certificate we gave to someone local who lives here since we are just passing through. read more

I always enjoyed coming to this Big Horn. I like the inside vibe. The employees have always been helpful and polite. Also love the food. The pork ribs are awesome and love their loaded mashed potatoes. Their turkey is also really good and moist and goes perfect with a side of their yams read more

The food is always tasty. Wait time in drive thru is never long. The bbq baked potato is always delicious.

Always has great food! I'm a regular and have had several things on the menu. Great burgers and onion rings.

Located right next to a gas station and parking was not a problem. Got there for a late dinner- it was quiet and clean. Food was delicious and staffs were helpful/friendly. Beer battered onion rings (Iextra charge) was deliishhhhhhh....We will return to dine again. read more

I've been going here a really long time. Over 2 years. I will not be returning here, the last two times the food was cold, the counter ppl have no clue what service means. Might be their age and IDGAF attitude when it comes to the customer. read more

Wow... I've been getting vegetable sides here for a while. I already thought that $4.59 was a bit steep for them. But went today and they are using new containers that look even smaller! Still $4.59. They are always tasty, but that's not worth it for such a small amount. Darn. read more

WOW Big Horn BBQ is now serving the food on an aluminum tray with paper to put your food on. Your sides are served in little paper tubs. No dishes like a real restaurant. We will check the next time before we drive over to see if they have changed back to actual plates and small bowls. You have to wonder what the paper has been exposed to that has soaked into it. Their BBQ now comes with a side of cardboard!!!!! read more

Good food at a reasonable price. Dime in or out it's up to you. Kids meals are very plentiful

8 months later and the same, identical experience as previous review. Same whining And denying of containers for sides, more whining when I ask for tie wraps so pickle / jalapeño juice does not coat other containers in bag or truck upholstery. Luckily this time I remembered to check bag before leaving and found the quart of pintos and 1/2 pint bbq sauce laying sideways in bottom of bag. At least I didn't have the mess to clean up when I got home. Does your management in Manvel train the staff in this manner, or do they just not care? read more

Big Horn BBQ - Sloppy packing of counter help. - Barbeque Near Me - Manvel, Texas

Service was friendly and efficient as you go through a buffet style line but my ribs were very dry and almost no meat.

Hello , I had a SOUTHWEST SALAD with brisket the other day and the salad was big but they only give you 1 little bitty cup of dressing that do not do anything to the salad. They need to include 2 or 3 cups of dressing because that 1 little cup is not enough. Then they want to charge you 75 cent more for another cup after they were told that the salad is too huge for the 1 little cup of dressing. Hopefully they have improvements after this because I would have enjoyed it more if I had more dressing. read more

I will start with my statement taste is subjective. This place does everything good, not extraordinary or amazing. They are just a solid restaurant that whatever you order you won't leave upset. I recommend their bake potatoes with brisket. Once again everything is good but don't expected to blow you away. read more

I like to get their salad with brisket, It's pretty good! And their baked potatoes are pretty tasty as well! read more

Ordered a child cheeseburger meal today. The meat was not fresh, it was dry, and hard and tasteless. The cheeseburger was not good; in fact, it tasted bad. Sadly, I would have been better off buying a fast food cheeseburger. They have changed the meat here. At least for the kids meal. How disappointing! read more

The brisket has been ruined by an awful lot of pepper on the top. What happened to just smoking a good brisket. The flavor of whatever it is ruins the entire piece of meat. Sausage is good and ribs are good, but the brisket has definitely gone so far downhill that you have to cut the tops off to eat it. The tops of brisket are usually the best part. read more

Was in the area to take the kids strawberry picking but ended up at Big Horn BBQ for lunch instead. The wife got her a loaded potato and I ordered a 1/2 lb of brisket, pork ribs and sausages with sides. Wife had no complaints about her potato, the meats for me were good but a bit dry, but a little bbq sauce did make a difference. There was a charge for bread FYI. Order and pick up was an ease and staff was super friendly. Come check them out if you're in the area! read more

Big Horn BBQ - a table full of food - Barbeque Near Me - Manvel, Texas

This review is based only upon the ready-made breakfast tacos that are available in the mornings - I haven't yet had the chance to enjoy the rest of the food, but will update the review when I do. I stopped in this morning on my way past Big Horn to see about their breakfast tacos. We LOVE breakfast tacos in my house and there can be some really tasty ready-made ones, so I gave these a try. I got the brisket breakfast burrito ($4.5) and a potato and egg taco ($2.5). I was super enticed by the ingredients listed on the burrito, but unfortunately either there wasn't much of each ingredient or it wasn't spread out well because I felt like I only got a couple bites that had beans and brisket and the overall size wasn't much bigger than the taco. Also, beware of the lighter/greenish salsa - this is sweet not spicy and really threw me. If you want a mildly spicy salsa, choose the red. The potato and egg taco was more satisfying IMO - it was filled all the way up w/ both ingredients in good proportions. If I return for their breakfast again, I'll probably just stick w/ the tacos! read more

This is a pretty good bbq place for dinner. We came on a Sunday night and it wasn't too busy or too noisy for eat-in. Take out was doing a booming business as well. The atmosphere is relaxed and the restaurant is large. We had pulled pork and ribs but the nachos looked mighty tasty. Green beans, sweet potatoes, loaded mashed potatoes and the broccoli salad were very good and I will be hard pressed to decide on sides next time we come. read more

Damn good nachos For $18 I expected a good plate but I was surprised to see how much they loaded the nachos. I swear they weighed 5 pounds I do think they're a bit overpriced but it was still worth trying. The nachos get soggy pretty quickly so eat fast! read more
