I'm from Kansas City so I am kind of a BBQ snob. I know good BBQ. Unfortunately I have been living in Washington State for the last few years do I also know bad BBQ. Big Johns had some decent food, especially considering the last of quality food establishments in Page. The brisket and pulled pork were probably there best... More

If you like real Texas BBQ without the fuss, try this place! We stopped here for lunch and really enjoyed the experience. This is not a fancy place but the food was simply delicious. We enjoyed both the beef & pork choices and the coleslaw was excellent.

Good Food, friendly service and like the location (previous gas station). BBQ and beans were great! Mom/Pop type location nothing fancy just good food.

Food is good, price seems high. BUT, it is BBQ and if you like BBQ it is the place to go. I would have liked more sauce with my pulled pork sandwich but didn't check before leaving. Employees were very nice and service was fast and efficient.

We were looking for somewhere quick and local for lunch, and since I love BBQ we gave Big John's a try. Both my pulled pork sandwich and my wife's salad with pork were great.

The baby ribs we had were completely tasteless - soft and tender enough but no taste! We had to smother them in BBQ sauce so we can eat them. The smoked chicken breast was dry but it's chicken breast, hard to get it done right least of all at takeout like this. But the food costs more than you would... More

We ordered the brisket and the combination plate...brisket was very tender, but a bit too much on the smokey side for me. The ribs were much better as well as... More

This is the friendliest staff you'll ever meet. This is not a fancy place. Go the counter order your meal, sit down and they'll bring it over. Nothing pretensions, real "Down Home" I had the brisket, and found it was OK, and I hate to say it but I have had better Texas Brisket in New York City (Check out... More

My daughter and I had dinner here. She had the kids pulled pork sandwich and I had the plate with beans and slaw. We both cleaned our plates. Very good meal for about $15. Would certainly go back.
