My husband and I had the chicken, turkey and brisket! Everything was so good! I liked the red sauce better than the white, but he liked the white better. The greens and Mac and cheese were amazing! Next time we go through Decatur, we'll be back and be sure to ask for Debbie!!!

Perfect white sauce. The pulled pork is to die for. Highly recommend eating this every day, if you can. I live in Illinois so I can’t.

I work all over the country for a small railroad company out of Kentucky, and have sampled bbq pretty much everywhere, as well as take pride in my Que. Today I finally got to try some of Big Bob's, and it's definitely what the definition is for BBQ, I got the ribs pork and chicken with sides of potato salad, coleslaw, green beans and mac and cheese, with a side of 10 smoked wings, and EVERYTHING was phenomenal, and Don came out when he saw me asking about the trophies, great man � My 1st time trying the white bbq sauce, I'll... read more

Big Bob Gibson's is going home for us. It's been in Decatur longer than I have. It is the food everyone strives for.

After driving all day we looked online and found this “award winner”...out of brisket. Out of ribs...all they had was chicken and pulled pork so we order each one. Chicken was dry (even dark meat...didn’t know that was possible) and the pulled pork was left on the plate with the cold beans. Did I mention the seat yourself means find a dirty table w dishes on it. The plus was once we ordered we had our food in 2 minutes? I think I know why...all cold. Highly disappointing and this is the first negative food review I’ve ever w... read more
