    Filling! There are no small dishes. At least what we ordered. Everything was really good. The wings were moist and had a great smoked flavour. The burger, Huge! The full rack of ribs needed a bigger plate! The service was great, albeit was a super quiet evening. Overall I would say you get your money's worth and everything is actually cooked and seasoned perfectly.

    Decimated. Half chicken and bronto rib!

    Big T's stands for Tasty! Super tasty BBQ food. We've been back several times for birthdays and family gatherings in the past 4 months. Lots of gluten free items on the menu, except the lunch menu. MmmmmmmmMeat. Meat Meat Meat and more Meat! Last time I visited, I actually ordered too much food so I would have leftovers to take home to my other half. The ribs & half smoked chicken dinner did just the thing. We ate TWO more meals from that portion. I'm not a fan of the coleslaw, but my sister is. They also like the cornbread, but it's not glutenfree. (It's CORNbread... but no, not glutenfree) Burgoo soup is glutenfree & super tasty. You want to feed an army? Order the Elvis platter. No, this isn't a love boat for two - you better bring a horde to help you, or containers to shlep it home. No, it's not "cheap". You *do* get what you pay for. Bring the moolah, but bring an appetite too. *urp* I'm a fan.

    I was beyond disappointed never had such terrible ribs! I was craving ribs so badly and when I ordered on skip the dishes it did come fast which was great but had I known it would be this tasteless and sauce less I would have never ordered. My St. Louis ribs with Original bbq sauce had barely any sauce so it was tasteless and the coleslaw was terrible I also ordered the spicy ribs but were WAY TOO spicy but still with barely any sauce. I would never order from here again. This place will NOT satisfy your rib craving. To be honest i ate one rib but I was so dissatisfied and couldn't eat any more bland sauceless ribs that I went to sobeys to buy groceries to cook instead.

    I was impressed but not as blown away as I expected from all the hype. First impression was this place (on a Saturday night) was short support staff. The waitresses were also acting as hostess and busboy, do seating wasn't very smooth. We all ordered different things so we could share - between 3 of us there was every meat on the menu except for the pulled pork - then we added Mac N Cheese, and deep fried pickles. Deep fried pickles were amazing as were the fried green tomato side dish, fries were also good. Other sides were lacking - the spicy coleslaw was way TOO spicy to be edible. Sweet potato fries really need a chipotle dip, I didn't like it with the horseradish dip served. All of our meats were excellent except I wish I had passed on the ribs and chosen pulled pork. They were dry and not very good. Pretty sure I had big Ts ribs at Stampede last year that were good, not sure what happened here! The brisket was amazing though. Mac N Cheese was pretty bland, vastly improved by a lot of salt. Skip this too. We shared the smoked maple cheese cake, this is definitely a cant miss item and gained them an extra star on the review! It's a cheesecake with a smoky hint of BBQ flavor, and it's amazing. We saw several of the family platters go by and these looked amazing as well! SO MUCH FOOD!

    Probably one of the most disappointing dine-in experiences I have ever had. We have heard so much from friends and have seen the "You Gotta Eat Here" episode about Big Ts that we thought we had to give it a try. The place was quite busy, but the service was very quick and our servers weren't all too bad. We ordered the Big Ts platter so we can try a bit of everything from their bbq menu. The platter definitely can feed at least 5 people in my opinion which is a plus, but most of the meats except the ribs were just mediocre(most were very dry) at best. The ribs were good, but they only gave you 4 pieces. The plate is filled with tons of fries that were just meh. And the coleslaw was bland. The buns and cornbread that come with the order were dry. For $74 for the platter I really didn't think it was worth it. Good thing we didn't order the Elvis platter as that would be more disappointment for more money.

    I've only had BBQ in Calgary once but it exceeded my expectations. The beef brisket and pull pork was so tender and flavourful. You can taste and smell the smokiness of the meat. The sauce and the coleslaw was justices flavorful as the rest. The sauce was smokey and delicious. The coleslaw could use a little more sauce that asside it was fresh and went really well with the pull pork sandwich.

    Made my first visit to Big T's in Queensland / Deer Run since taking over from Woody's BBQ. I have been to the location near McMahon Stadium where I was soundly defeated by the Gut Buster (which was featured on "You Gotta Eat Here"). The new location is bright and open with a nice bar in the centre of the room. There is a good selection of seating from booths to hightops to regular tables. We were greeted by a friendly hostess / server. We took our time reviewing the menu and selected deep fried pickles for an appie to accompany the Wild Rose Wraspberry and Velvet Fog beverage selection. The menu offers a lot of choices, so making a decision took some time! Our foursome ordered as follows : salad with a smoked and sauced chicken breast, a pair of two meat plates and a chili dog which was actually an andouille sausage. The orders came out - there was easily enough food to feed 6 to 8! The ribs and brisket and ribs and pulled pork plates were excellent! Dirty rice was very tasty while the hush puppies were nearest to Heaven I have been in awhile! The massive salad was nicely trimmed with flavourful bits including cheese, tortilla chips and veggies along with a delicious blackberry vinegarette. Lastly, the Chili Cheese Dog was served on a toasted hoagie bun with all the trimmings. The spicy flavour and chili combined to make an excellent meal! Now, you may wonder how do I know how all this great food tasted? Let's just say there was more sampling going on than at a David Guetta concert! (If he does concerts) If you enjoy bbq, then you need to try out Big T's! This is a great spot in the south of Calgary!! I should add that the owner stopped by our table for a chat - a nice touch always!

    Kids meal - two sliders with pulled pork and a side coleslaw, plus drink & ice cream for $7.50.  Excellent deal.

    A large group of us came here for dinner on a Friday night. We ordered a couple of appetizers: fried green tomatoes was nothing special. Poutine with smoked meat was good though the portion was slightly on the small side. For dinner we ordered the Elvis Platter ($130). It's an impressive display of all the meats along with a few sides. The beef brisket, chicken, and pulled pork were all very good. Ribs were on the dry side. Sausage was good and spicy. One complaint is the size of the sides - the platter is meant for 6-8 people but the side was quite small- one small bowl of coleslaw, rice, and baked beans. Both coleslaws and baked beans were very good but since we are sharing, each person only had a tiny portion. If the sides were larger or if they were replenished upon request that would've made the meal even better.

    A VERY special and LOUD shout out to hostess Phoebe for making my birthday EXTRA happy this past…read moreSaturday. Kind, well-spoken, gentle, efficient, always a smile on her face and she went above and beyond. I had a 12:15 pm reservation. Unfortunately a group was taking much longer than expected. I waited over 30+ mins to be seated and so yes, I could've made a scene, but that wouldn't be me. Phoebe could've just let things be ... you know? Because "it is what it is". But she didn't. Once she seated me and my friend, she offered to take photos for me and of me. SO thoughtful! She also brought me a beautiful ice cream with a sparkling candle in it. SO sweet! She smiled at me every time she walked by almost as a way to make sure I was doing OK and feeling good. She was WAY more attentive than our female server who looked, sounded and acted like she couldn't leave work soon enough. Wasn't going to let her dampen my birthday though... Food tasted good. Presentation was beautiful. The male server who took over was SUPERB. Genuinely happy to "close out" our transaction with him. He was super attentive and willing to make everything go well. Thank you, Phoebe and male server for making my birthday memorable. XO

You only have about 5 or 6 spaces since it seems like the rest of the spaces have a "no parking" sign in front of each space... wtf... The place was nicely decorated and quaint. Loved the vibe. We walked in at 8am, opening time, and there were two parties sitting already. We got seated and looked at the menu. Our waitress was very friendly and mentioned that the Queens Breakfast, and the Montreal Smoked Brisket were the popular dishes. I decided on the Omelette Al Tartufo and my wife decided on the Montreal Smoked Brisket with Poached Egg. The Omelette Al Tartufo was good. Had a good earthy taste of the truffle. They had truffle paste so a hint of real truffle was there. There was a bit of melted cheese in there but there was a good balance. My wife had the Montreal Smoked meat with poached egg, which was also good. Pastrami-like protein with a poached egg, presented in a croissant. Very good, but very filling. Eat this, and you won't be having lunch! All in all, good food, and good service.

We were shocked to find another couple sitting at our reserved table--frankly, I hadn't anticipated it would be a shared table for eight in the first place. To make matters worse, we were rushed to order and pay the bill. After that couple left, another pair were seated at our six-person table without any explanation. Our dishes arrived in two separate waves with a 10-minute gap. They also automatically added an 18% tip for parties of more than five people, which I expect at least we should have a private table. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the server, the owner came out and became confrontational and aggressive. He raised his voice, saying I could "tell him what I am not satisfied with." Then he offered a refund, which I immediately declined, and afterward snatched a package of coffee from the counter and offered it as compensation. I refused again--it felt more like an insult than a genuine apology. After we posted our reviews, the owner privately messaged my friend, asking us to remove them and citing the "small Chinese community" as a reason we should support each other. That's incredibly manipulative. Using community guilt to pressure customers into deleting honest feedback is inappropriate and only reinforces our negative experience. I will not be returning.

By the time it arrived, everything was stone cold. The cheese was literally hard from melting and then going cold, the potatoes were undercooked and raw, and the entire meal was completely inedible.
