Big N's BBQ and Crawfish

"It was our first time trying BIG Ns, and we were disappointed on the food. We ordered the brisket sandwich, the meat plate, alligator balls, and shrimp. Brisket was unfortunately super dry. We ordered potatoes and shrimp with the shrimp, they forgot to give us that. Lastly the food didn’t sit well in our stomachs and we had really bad diarrhea :(."

"The location is outside with a playground for children. The parking is adequate but it is not fully paved. It's gravel, dirt, and grass, keep that in mind for footwear options. I went with friends and ordered crawfish, fries, alligator balls, and empanadas. I asked if they had Brisk ice tea and they said no, just lemon. I bought it and received the Brisk ice tea, I guess they think the lemon on the can meant it wasn't iced tea, but it is. Regardless, it's a great place to go with young kids. The food is good but the crawfish wasn't purged, so it was filled with poo and dirt. The crawfish has one spice level and the seasoning is decent. I'd say it's medium heat level with a similar saltiness to what you'd get at the Asian crawfish places on Bellaire, just not as flavorful. There's a snow cone place in the same area that has amazing snow cones. Definitely check out that place. If I go back, it would be for the side dishes and the sno cone at the other place. The crawfish isn't good enough or clean enough. Purging the crawfish improves the flavor, so not sure why they didn't do it."

"Some of the most flavorful, perfectly cooked, and biggest crawfish my wife and I have found after dozens and dozens of places throughout the years. The open seating and open lawn makes it a great place to let the kids run around and wear themselves out while the adults eat. The crawfish are delicious. It seems wild to be in love with the olives almost more than anything else in the boil, but here I am! The sausage, boudin, empanadas, and everything on the menu is delicious. We’ve gone more than half a dozen times. BYOB means there will be a few folks that have too much, but I’ve never seen anything get stupid. Just people talking loudly and looking messy. This place is the best."

"We ordered crawfish and catfish. It is an outside, very casual atmosphere. Family friendly. The crawfish was a bit underwhelming in overall flavor as was the catfish. The corn tasted like it was cooked from frozen. I had 4 small pieces of fish - certainly, not 1 pound. Not sure if I would recommend it, but it certainly would not be a first choice to return to."
