We always get great bbq here-we’ve had their brisket, both sliced and chopped-always good and so tender. Their chicken sandwiches are delicious too-other bodacious bbq locations that we’ve been to don’t have this sandwich. We drive from Nac to get their bbq.

Had the baby back ribs. Kinda pricey at 14.99 but worth it. Also had the meat sandwich and that’s all It was. The meat was good but was hoping for some veggies at that price. Will get those ribs again.

My review is for the spare ribs only. Very tender and flavorful. The rub has a little sweetness and turns into a bit of a glaze. East Texas barbecue is very different from Central Texas so don’t expect to find it here. Instead enjoy the hickory smoked sweetness and don’t be afraid to use a little sauce although I didn’t think these ribs needed it.

The food was OK. I had the ribs, and they were definitely the best meal item. I also tried the pulled pork and the sausage. Both decent, no harm no foul there. Beans were way too salty, and the potato salad was too egg-y. Overall, though, not bad. Supposedly the sloppy joes are good, I’ll have to come back to try those. Décor is boring. No substance. Could be any type of restaurant anywhere, serving who-knows-what. But it was clean, so there’s that. Overall, it’s not a place I’d tell someone to avoid, but I’d be hard pressed to recommend it over the nearby Lufkin BBQ.

The ribs were recommended and didn’t disappoint. I can’t comment on the other menu items. The ribs have a dry rub and a spicy taste. As for the atmosphere, it’s a typical Texas BBQ joint. Nothing fancy and seems clean and we’ll kept.

Great place for ribs! No need for BBQ sauce. They even sell the rub there. I can’t wait to try it at home and see if it works. So delicious. The beans and potato salad are great too. I would highly recommend this place if you are in Lufkin. The staff is nice, there is a drive through and take out…

Awesome ribs! Always friendly! My mother has been in the hospital I can pu baked potatoes and ribs to feed everyone they have lots of meat not just bones with great flavor!

I’m floored by the bad reviews. I was told this place is really good. So, I went to see for myself. I had the ribs, brisket, sausage and potato salad. It was really good.

Lufkin could really use a good BBQ joint. Bodacious is pretty good considering the competition, but coming in on top of a heap of mediocre to really bad smoke houses doesn’t make it alright. Bodacious has days that are really good, but they also have days that are equally not so good and consistency is important to retaining customers. The thing that’s most irritating about Bodacious is that they know how to get it right but some days they just don’t and the why of it doesn’t really matter.

DONTGOHERE I hate making obnoxious statements in all caps, but I thought this was similar to other Bodacious BBQ that I saw good reviews. For 14 dollars, I had four pieces of brisket and two ribs. You do the math. It equals to ripoff. And the meat was dry and too lean. The only thing that was enjoyable was the outside bark. They did a great job on that. I feel bad giving this place such a low rating, but bad food, high prices, and questionable sanitation gives me a big frown.

First time eating here. The beef was tough and tasteless(as one other person said, maybe they have stopped using the smoker.) The pork looked like and had the texture of processed or canned meat. And the piece of stale white bread tossed on the side of the plastic plate is rather unappealing. Portions are very small for your money. I saw some rather unhygienic things going on behind the counter, and the tables are unclean and sticky. We were so disappointed in this meal we went to another restaurant afterward to have a proper meal.

Good prices and good food. Liked the chopped beef sandwich, the chopped chicken sandwich is also good. Have heard that pulled pork sandwich is excellent.

Some of the worst ribs or excuse for ribs I have ever eaten. Dry, tough, no smoke flavor at all. I drowned them in sauce to eat them. Not sure what they were suppose to be, I did not have one rib bone. Just pieces of bone and cartilage. My wife had sliced brisket, tasted like a roast. Maybe they quit using the smoker here. One more barbeque restaurant to cross off my list in Lufkin. I feel sorry for anyone that eats this and thinks it is good barbeque.

This place made me pretty sick once and I haven’t been back. Before that it wasn’t bad and at a cheap price.
