big lou's burgers & bbq

best bbq i've had in sa!!!. i have to say, i live right around the corner from this place, went over a year without noticing it and one day just decided to try it.....well....that was history...i am addicted to big lous burgers and bbq! my family and i have visited this place over 6 times in the last month....from the burgers to the chopped beef to sliced brisket, from the pulled pork (my favorite) to the seasoned sogreatchicken strips....i absolutely love this place. we have yet to try everything on the menu yet, but hope to soon! now, onto the sides...i love the pinto beans, seasoned to perfection...green beans are too good to ever pass up....potato salad....mannnn....i dont ever eat anyones potato salad, but my own, and this is about as close as it gets....absolutely wonderful! i cant say enough good about big lous burgers and bbq. i work on the entire other side of town and have referred all of my coworkers to come visit this place...most people know of the pizza place, but fail to realize there is a burgers and bbq spot right up the street! i even carry the to go menu in my purse, to pull out and brag about how good this place is....like i sd, im addicted and so is my family....let me just go on by saying, i have a very big, greedy husband, that loves to eat just as much as i do....and he never leaves this place anything other than fat full and completely satisfied! long story short....i love big lous burgers and bbq!!! defiantely worth the $ and drive!

great food. despite the bad reviews. i am a real customer. the food isgreatmy favorite is the mac and cheese great. yes it is a little costly than other places but it is worth it. big lou's have a verity of food on their menue, the people that work their are great! i have been a customer their for a year and several months and have no complaints.greatjob big lou!

bad customer service. we were there for dinner and the cashier must of been new cause she was not sure. once she gave me the total and recite for credit card i had to go back and ask for my receipt cause i felt like i got overcharged. when i asked for receipt some other guy came out i think he might of been a spvsr or mngr, he showed me the receipt which had a already added on gratuity that the cashier did not made us aware of. when i asked why he said cause we were a party of six, when i explained to him that the six person was a baby who is on formula who doesn't eat that kind of food yet. he became arrogant and tried to argue so his arrogance became even worst when he just open his wallet and said "it's just $5 here". my main thing is that i was not even made aware that a a gratuity had been added on the bill.
our waitress wasgreatand food was average nothing special about their burgers, you can get same quality at whataburger for half the price!

really good burger and bbq place to complement its sister pizza place. the brisket burger was really good and the bbq sauce has a smoked pecan taste. the place has a biker bar/rustic look which i personally like for a burger joint.greatplace to watch football with all the tvs

good food andgreatservice.. we dropped by because i had been wanting to try their bbq joint. i have been going to big lou`s for years and i have never had any problems at the pizza joint. the bbq joint was ok, the service was great. the brisket was tasty and the sides were nice and hot. i will defintely be coming back for more!

owner excuses. came here to express my opinion of the place which pretty much mirrors any/all of the negative press you read here. owner blames competition down the street. owner needs to wake up and face reality. your food is marginal - cold - and your staff is as cold as the food you serve.

this is typically what happens to a restaurant that's managed by relatives who own another restaurant and that is the case here. big lou's pizza isgreat- big lou's burgers - a big thumbs down. house cleaning is in order for big lou's burgers.

don't go here with a large group. first off - i agree with all of the comments about lousy tasting burgers, rude employees and surprisingly - a mgr who was more rude than the employees.

as the title says - do not show up with a group of people. they botched the orders and took forever - over an hr. before we got our food. this happened on 2 occasions - so i'm pretty much convinced this is a norm for this place.

why did i go back a 2nd time? - family gathering - not my choice. after the 2nd visit - it was decided our crew would never visit big lou's again.

google big lou's burgers - you' ll find a lot of negative posts on other sites as well.

thank you cleto!!!!! so glad we took the drive..... bbq was fantastic, ambiance wasgreatand gooood service, couldn't ask for more!!! we will be back!!!

best burgers and bbq this side of the mississippi! tops in my list of burger joints!

thank you big lou's burgers and bbq!!. had such agreattime with family and friends! we tried a couple spots closer to our side of town before we landed here. no one could really seat us, we had to many people. which is ok.. because there where 25 of us and it was a last min thing. i will definitely be driving to this side of town more often! food was amazing!!! also love all the work they put into the restaurant, looksgreatguys, keep up the good work! thanks big lou's burgers for not turning us away!!

great place!. my husband took me here for the first time about a month ago and it has become a favorite for us! the burgers are just wonderful and the chili cheese fries are really good!!
love the atmostphere and their prices aregreatfor anyone's budget.
they have a giant burger, just like the giant pizza at the other place (big lou's pizza) for groups. we saw this burger on one of our visits and looked just as wonderful as their regular size burger. the group was very pleased with the taste and presentation of this huge burger.
be sure to try this place, you will not regret it!

our new spot!. what agreattime we had. the atmosphere was very nice and really, the whole experience was awesome. from the food right down to the friendly staff. loved the fact that the manager came by and made us all feel right at home. not sure what the other's were thinking when they put this place down. go in and check it out for yourself. that's what we did and i am so glad we did! i will be telling all my friends and family about this place!

everything i expected (and more). the staff was friendly from the beginning! the cashier didn't hesitate to service us and was informative of the beer selection. i'm a lonestar/lonestar light type of guy but a coor's light did the trick. it was a party of 2 and our total bill came out to $30. we ordered 1/3lb cheeseburger combo, 1/2 bacon cheeseburger combo, a beer, 1/2 order of onion rings & 1/2 order of wings (i love to eat).

both burgers had a lot of flavor in them. they were cooked perfectly and i had to do guy's "the hunch" because the juice was running down my hand!

onion rings are a must however if you're a full batter type of guy/girl then these rings will not do justice. you can tell these rings are passed through the batter once or twice however their flavor makes up for the batter being flaky.

the wings had a unique flavor, you can tell the they had a special 'oriental' blend. as we ordered the wings a young lady mentioned that their sweet chili sauce was going to put the restaurant on the map........it was a miss. it tasted like bottled oriental sweet/sour sauce with chili peppers mixed in it.

the place was filled with several families, a handful of couple's and a few groups of elderly men having some good food with their beer. the atmosphere was relaxed and upbeat. our waitress (ruth or beth) was friendly and checked on us 2-3 times while we were enjoying our meal.

drinks consistently stayed filled, food was great, beer was cold, bartender was local, staff made the place and big lou's is going to turn this side of town into a hot spot!

cons: get lonestar/lonestar light on draft or bottle, staff needs t-shirts to identify who works there (they appear as customers).

pros:greatburgers, cold beer, friendly staff, awesome atmosphere
