Culley’s BBQ

"Reminded me of overpriced state fair food. Formerly Culley’s, under new management and now listed on Door Dash as Big Mike’s BBQ. As an out of towner searching for a bbq joint online, I was surprised that the BBQ wasn’t more flavorful. I ordered the brisket nachos(can cheese) and the brisket plate. The brisket didn’t taste smoked but more like a precooked entree from the big box store. The same goes for the potato salad and the baked beans. It wasn’t bad just not what I had in mind when I spent $12 & $17. The brisket also came with only one slice and dressed on a bun which would’ve been great if I had ordered a brisket poboy. I was not incentivized at all to return. Thankfully the owner and staff was pleasant, the bathroom and restaurant itself was spotless. The restaurant needs a real grill master on deck to make this place a winner because it’s in such a great location."

"BEWARE! The positive reviews MUST BE from the business itself. Because! This is the WORST food on the planet! Horrible tasteless food! My ribs were old, dry and jerky two hours after opening. My chicken was extremely dry, burnt, bland and tasteless with feathers still on. My fries were oil logged and dirty looking. My salad was wet and not fresh. My toast was dry and hard. Eat here at your own risk. I just fed mine to the outside stray cats and they sniffed it and walked away from it. Something is wrong with the cook and the food."

"The girls are so nice & ready to answer any questions you have. They even gave me some good suggestions on what to try my first time there. The ribs are FALL OFF THE BONE & JUICY ! The pulled pork is NOT dry. The BBQ sauce is perfect. ALL the sides are delicious. Oh & you MUST try the salads; they are LOADED! Only thing I would say is the BBQ plate(s) portions are small for the prices & they are expensive however I don’t mind paying for it."

"Stopped in on an epic buddy road trip of a lifetime and a year later, me and my buddy still talk about how good Culley's was. By far our favorite place after 11 days and 2738 miles of drive across the south. Please stop here and try everything. You will not be disappointed!!"

"Being from KC I have high expectation when it comes to barbecue. We stopped here because of the ratings. I ordered the chili cheese fries with brisket. Kinda bland but was ok. Brisket was tender. I could have done without the bbq sauce. Hubby also thought his sausage sandwich and fish lacked flavor. I’ll give an extra star for the friendly staff."
