Big John's Texas BBQ

A lot of gluten free options for people with celiac. The meats were cooked to perfection and the sides were few but delicious. The sauces were also gluten free. The staff were very friendly and professional. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside. Very nice!

- The place has become quite famous and popular especially in recent years, but in my opinion it has been a little overrated. - Certainly fame and popularity have contributed to making the place a little too touristy and less "typical" and "unique" than one would expect. In my opinion you can find similar places much better, both in terms of food and service, not too far from here (for example in Moab). But let's get to the details. 🌄 Location: - We were here in August, in the middle of the tourist season, and given the high turnout we decided to arrive immediately at the opening around 11.30 in the morning. At that time there were very few people and they made us sit outside immediately. If you arrive later or for dinner, you risk a long wait. - The location is the strong point of the place, with the gigantic barbecues positioned directly on the street and visible even from afar. It certainly attracts a lot of attention. There are some free parking spaces around the venue. 🍽 Food: - Unfortunately, even though the place had just opened, they didn't have ribs, which we definitely wanted to try. We had to settle for just the pulled pork. - The food itself isn't bad, but it isn't anything that special or inimitable either. The meat was good and quite soft, and you can season it to your liking with the sauces provided at the table. - The potato salad with boiled potatoes and mayonnaise is nothing special and is served cold. 💰 Price: - The prices in my opinion are a little high, but still within the average for the period and the area. - Average quality/price ratio, nothing exceptional. - At least they won't make you pay for water. 👨‍🍳 Service: - The service in my opinion was the poorest point of our visit. The girl who took our order was quite hasty, even though we were the first customers, and always served us with a somewhat superficial, listless and almost "annoyed" attitude at our presence. It felt like he was doing us who were there a favor! - Every time we tried to ask for information, even about the sauces or the menu, we always received answers with an annoyed tone. - For example, I tried to ask if the potato salad and sauces were gluten-free (I'm celicao), and I only received a quick and ironic response: "let's hope"! But what is the answer? Alright! - The only moment of understanding and a hint of a smile was when he handed us the bill with the indication for his tip. ℹ️ Conclusion: - I've been to Page several times, but have never stopped here before. Driven by the fame and enthusiastic reviews, I decided to try it, but honestly I would have expected more from both the food and the service, given the fame that precedes the place. Unfortunately I think it is slowly turning into a sort of "fast food". - In my opinion it is not worth stopping here if you have to wait a long time before sitting down and eating, given the high turnout. However, if you find few people, I would say you can try at least once. - If it is your first time at an American BBQ, you might almost be satisfied, but if you are looking for something truly unique, unmissable and special, I advise you to look carefully and try something else. - Despite this, I still feel like giving 4 out of 5 stars.

I dreamed of coming to us and eat Texas bbq, and thanks to big John's the dream became true! Plus,as a coeliac, safe item in the menu is marked gluten free! Greetings from Italy!
