Big Oaks BBQ: Incredible Food, Just Wish They Were Open 24/7! My wife and I are serious food lovers (okay, foodies), so finding Big Oaks BBQ right after moving to Indian River was both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because the food is phenomenal—truly homemade and top-tier—and a curse because we are now addicted, and their hours are just too darn limited! We wish they were open every day. Everything on the menu is excellent, but we’ve had to make a sacred pact with the staff to reserve our Wednesday half-chicken and smoked potato. That chicken is massive, delicious, and the perfect meal for two (if you're willing to share). The ribs? Top-notch. But let's be honest, the true masterpiece here is the ice cream. I don't care where in Wisconsin that dairy comes from; it's the creamiest, best ice cream we've ever had. My wife is on a mission to conquer every sundae, and I’m a dedicated follower of the "Cookie Dough Whiteout" cult. If you're a foodie, run, don't walk. Just try not to cry when they tell you they're closed.

Great place, convenient location - mediocre food. The pulled pork is to die for but for the prices to recieve a hockey puck that cut my gums when biting down? Not pleased for the price. Took the burger patty off and ate the rest just fine, but that's half of the meal and cost wasted. There was no seasonings on the burger either, or if there was the char got to it before I could. None the less disappointed. Appreciate the thought and care put into the food, like I said pork is to die for, but anything else is a big 50/50 leap of faith

We got the piggy burger and pulled pork Mac and cheese. Both were delicious! We appreciate that the portions were a good size and the price was just right! The owners were so sweet to our little girls and very friendly to talk with! Definitely will be coming again when we’re in town.
