This BBQ spot is just up the street and we have never gone before until today. We regret taking so long to go to Big Bib BBQ! The food is delish, the service is amazing, especially from Miss K, and the restaurant is clean and nothing like you would expect from the restaurant's exterior.We enjoyed the pulled pork, the ribs, the brisket, the chicken, the jalapeno sausage, along with the potato casserole, sweet potato casserole ? and mac & cheese! I must also add that they serve Kool-Aid, 2 flavors!We will definitely be back and we highly recommend that y'all pay 'em a visit!

This was a great decision. The bbq here is top notch. From the moment you step out of your car till the moment you get back in your car you are permeated with a wonderful aroma of pure deliciousness. We had the Big Bib platter which consisted of 1 lb of each: brisket, rib tips, jalapeno sausage, chicken, and pulled pork, all smoked, 2 x-large sides, and a loaf of bread. The leaded baked potato casserole and the green beans for the side were insanely good. We ordered an additional side of cheese macaroni and collard greens. Everyone raved about the food with one lone exception, the chicken. The chicken, although juicy and smoked to perfection, lacked flavor besides the smoke. A little bbq sauce fixed that but it shouldn't have too, the meat should be the star of the show. Everything else was extremely good, including the sliced onions with pickles. On top of all that, the prices are extremely affordable. Hands down a must try if you haven't already. 2 thumbs up. A repeat customer next time I'm in the area. Only wish they had the turkey legs which were temporarily on hiatus.

The brisket was acceptable. The sandwich bun was average at best. The sweet BBQ sauce was acceptable -- about the taste of a basic Great Value bun from Walmart. The jalapenos were mushy and quite bitter. I would say that the best solution would be to just buy the meat there and take it home to put on a decent bun and with some fresh pickled jalapenos instead of their canned ones.Parking: Interestingly, the handicap parking is NOT the closest parking to the entrance.

Friendly staff, the food was absolutely out of this world. We would definitely stop again next time in the area.
Katha was very courteous and interested in our comments about the experience there. The Sweet Potato side was really an awesome dessert! Best I have had at any establishment!
Service was dicey. Ordered catfish combo with potato salad and 1/2 chicken. Catfish is cooked when ordered. Girl who took my order was very pleasant. She yelled out catfish order but wasn’t sure who was listening. It seemed the cook was sitting in a booth with his friend and didn’t move. She completed taking my order and then processed another order. Then went over and told him about the cat fish order where he asked her if she knew how to do it. um? In the mean time, I’m standing there wondering how long this is going to take. I asked her how long for the catfish and was told 10 minutes. There was a lot of back and forth conversation to process the order. Took 25 minutes for 3 items. Seriously it was like watching Moe, Larry and Shimp in action. Both chicken and catfish were over cooked and lacked seasoning. I did like that the catfish was a full filet not catfish pieces which most places serve now these days. In the end though, I felt nauseated after I ate. So did my friend who I split the catfish with. Not exactly an endorsement.

Been here a few times now. Impressed a little more each time. The BBQ is very flavorful. Ribs are great. The Sweet Potato Casserole is the best I’ve ever had. It’s the magnet that keeps dragging me back in there. I can’t get enough of it. The brisket sandwich looks small, but when you get it you better be hungry. LOTS of meat in there. The crew is very pleasant and friendly.

The bbq chicken was delicious, seasoned just right and juicy. Had the fatty brisket my last visit and that was just as good. Definitely recommend this

As far as I’m concerned, all the big name bbq joints locally are not bad, BUT if you want a true texas welcome, amazing food made with care and purpose, all without breaking the bank - go see Mrs. K at the New Braunfels location. When the meat doesn’t even need sauce to be delicious, you know it’s good.Dietary restrictions: Meat is protein.. you need protein, go eat as much as you can.Parking: Ample parking for the size of the building.Kid-friendliness: Took a 3 year old and Mrs. K personally brought him candy.

First time here this weekend and it was just overall a subpar experience. The brisket was pretty dry. The sides weren't particularly flavorful. The macaroni was ok. The staff (especially the ?manager) were not very friendly either. Super disappointing for one of our local spots!
I like Big Bibs in NB. I use to visit their old location at the Stetson Airport in SA. I started going to Big Bibs in NB a few weeks ago and I have been back many times since. Sometimes multiple times a week. Miss W and staff are great they greet you with a smile and warm welcomes. I can’t say enough about the food. The meats are smoked well and has a great flavor. The moist brisket is top notch. “Can’t have enough fat on a piece of brisket”. And the best of all, there is no need for sauce on any of their meats. Even though they have 4 great choices of sauce. They put lots of meat on their sliced sandwiches, unlike some of the other BBQ places in NB. Their sweet potato casserole is amazing. Their rib let’s and chicken are great too. Love this place!

I really thought I was going to like this place cause I loved the previous bbq place by previous owner. As I entered the place smelled of fresh varnish on wood of entrance way. Too strong for me! As I began to order, I asked questions on what I wanted to order. The tall African American lady was extremely rude. As if I was bothering her for my order. I felt very uncomfortable n felt disrespected and annoyed! So I decided this place was not for me. My friend n I will not b returning. Food looked like leftovers n beef brisket looked old n brown. I saved myself from eating nasty looking food n bad public relations. Treat your customers kindly n respectfully n u will gain more business like that. Sour puss lady! Doesn’t deserve 2⭐️⭐️ I’m being kind. Go to other bbq places, much better service.

I visited Big Bibs for lunch and dinner. This is an outstanding barbecue restaurant. All the side items are tasty and wonderful compliments to any one of their proteins. The sauces are amazing and the prices are competitive if not slightly better. I hope you enjoy you visit as much as I did. I’m actually on my way there now.

Ugh...where do I begin. First off, the atmosphere is dreadful. Seating is uncomfortable. Brisket is gross...we ordered lean and it was anything but. Our order was wrong and had to be corrected. Service was slow and inadequate. Last but certainly not least...horrible, awful, terrible BBQ sauce. Just stick with all the other better BBQ places in town.
