I have always heard about Bodacious BBQ, and this last weekend we finally got to try it out…read more The restaurant was cute clean, it looked like an old house that had been converted We were happily greeted immediately upon entering and the young man who took our order was patient, helpful and kind. What could you ask for? The overall staff was quick efficient and they made our order exactly as we asked. While the BBQ wasn't the best I have ever had. It was extremely good! The sides (I got barbecue beans and green beans) were delicious. I will say the barbecue beans were some of the better ones. I've had I thoroughly enjoyed them. The spareribs were nicely charred, pretty tender and very, very good. The brisket was very tasty but a little bit dry. My biggest complaint was their barbecue sauce. It has a strong mustard base and I am just not a fan of mustard. I know that's on me, not on them. We were on a four day, two state road trip, and I think this was the best meal we had on the trip. It was by far away the best value that we got. Overall, the amount of food that we got for the price we paid at bodacious was extremely good. If I ever get back to East Texas, we will be sure and stop.

Such flavorful and heavy bbq in the best way that makes you want to take a fat nap afterwards. From what I was told the people are kind and just care about serving good hearty food to the community, it's almost as if you can feel the love and care in the food as you're eating it!

It was Tuesday afternoon and there was no line but they were sold out of turkey. Very interesting...... The decor was great with really cool bbq themed posters and guitars. The restrooms were very clean. They do not brew their own tea and have waters, bottled teas and sodas in a cooler. We ordered a pound of brisket and 16 oz container each of the brisket mexican street corn and the charro beans. Please do not employ the salt shaker and in fact, keep any salt granules WAY FAR AWAY from your food items. It is perfectly seasoned and does not need it, OK? Maybe a little ice water to have with your cue would be a good idea! I thought the brisket and the sides we tried were some of the finest I have ever had and I was admittedly a little sad to see it dwindle away over the next day or two in the refrigerator. I think I need some more of that perfect elote, charro bean, brisket goodness, dog gonnit!!!!! That nagging feeling I get about the turkey selling out so quickly......should I have that on our next visit? I think so.

The sausage was Good I did eat all of that. I got a macaroni and cheese bowl with brisket I ate a few bites but decided to just throw it away. The staff were decent not really friendly but they're fast. Overall I would say this place is overpriced and not terrible but nothing special either. The place was full over older well to do folks that probably love the bland food and money to buy it.

I dont know about you but that's an expensive dinner when it's cold, chewy and mostly fat... tried to get something different and they said they had nothing else they were going to close.. I was like it's only 7pm you advertise you close at 830.. they said nope we are closing early... ok I see I am a big imposition for you. Never again Bodacious!! Your BbQ is terrible and your customer service is even worse... maybe try getting some adults in the place that know what's going on and how to treat your customers spending big dollars on sub par BBQ!

The friend chicken was so crispy and flavorful and the sides were AMAZING! The mac and cheese was definitely made with a roux, the potato casserole was heavenly, the candied yams were not overly sweet, and the cabbage was my favorite! I was pleasantly surprised to learn that all plates come with cornbread and dressing, which were divine! The restaurant was very clean. It's set up cafeteria style. There was a long line, but the staff runs an assembly line like a well oiled machine. You will not be waiting long and you'll absolutely understand why there is a line when you taste the food. The staff were very friendly. We'll be back every time we pass through!
