Big Stuff Barbecue - Cottage Grove

Had last night; the ribs, chicken, and cornbread were amazing! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Delicious BBQ and good prices. Has the spicy chicken dinner. My partner shared his brisket and smoked sausage. We will be back! Yum!!!

I'm torn as they are between a 3 and 4. The restaurant is large with plenty of room for large groups. Clean with reprints of various native Americans and western art on the walls. You order at the desk in the back and then take your tray of food to sit down. At 4PM on a Thursday, no problem. Several takeout orders were observed. I had the meat combo (your choice) that consisted of a spare rib, a baby back rib, two slices of brisket and a hot link. Two sides with potato salad and beans. By the way, the owner offered me a small sample of the pulled pork. So here is the verdict: Overall I sensed the meat had been smoked earlier in the week. Both (large sized) ribs looked dry but turned out meaty and flavorful. Used two sauces to moisten the meats. The brisket was a lithe fatty and dry. The worse if the bunch was a very, very dry sausage. I couldn't finish it. The beans had the right amount of brown sugar and molasses. The potato salad was very good with yellow mustard and dill. So all said, I'm torn. Service was friendly and good. Some of the food was just right while parts were not. Will I come back, probably not. I have too many highly-rated and favorite BBQ places in my collections. But, if you're local, you may want to give Big Stuff a try.

The barbecue was decent but nothing earth shattering. I had higher expectations based on other reviews I had seen online. Service was good and food arrived quickly.

Pleasantly surprised!! To start, the service is first class, very attentive and friendly hostess/wait staff/owners. Best BBQ and* sides in the surrounding area! Primo Brisket and pulled pork were juicy and flavorful. The meat was not drenched in sauce and mixed with fat. They were stand alone, high quality pieces with original tasty sauces on the side. The seasoned fries were cooked to perfection and the homemade potato salad and coleslaw were the best I've ever tasted!They're are not afraid of flavor and spice, yum!! The fresh brewed ice tea was also very refreshing. The dining area was a little confusing at first, but big and spread out, making our experience even more enjoyable. They also had a lot of older local patrons, which makes it great for this small town. We'll be back! Thank you.
