Big B's Smokin BBQ

Six people in our group and everyone's meal was fabulous! Ribs fell off the bone, pork bar-b-que was delicious, perfectly done potato! We will definitely be back on our next vacation!

I'll help others out by noting the location is actually in The Tiki Bar/Mart parking lot at 2181 New River Inlet Rd, Sneads Ferry. Not sure if the address noted on Google is maybe an old location. The shop is a portable style large food cart so maybe they change locations regularly? Nice rig!

Just finished a meal from this Big B’s Smokin’ bbq and everything was delicious.

Located at the corner next to the tiki bar. You can smell the Smokey goodness coming from the huge smoker/grill as you drive by. We had to eat there before we left Top Sail because we love a good bbq and we love food trucks.

The pit master/owner/operator is the nicest and friendliest guy you will ever meet. He will have die hard introverts chatting up a storm with him in no time. He was a genuine, nice guy.

The food...
Let me start by saying I’m not a bbq expert. I don’t know much about cooking ribs or how the ribs and sauces are made. Frankly, I don’t have the time, know how or the patience to cook great bbq so I let the experts do that. But I do know what tastes good and what’s not so good and everything we bought from Big Bs tasted good.

Baby Back Ribs
We got home and started unpacking our bounty. The ribs were wrapped in foil and upon opening the package, we were presented with a beautiful rack of ribs. This is not a dry rub bbq, which I’m not a huge fan. This rack of ribs was nestled in bbq sauce. The sauce itself was just right, it wasn’t too sweet which a lot of places seem to overdo. The sauce should compliment the meat not overpower it. The meat was fall-off-the bone good. It was tender all around. Forget about using a knife to cut ribs off, you’ll need a fork because heaps of meat just falls off. The nice thing about these ribs was that there were no tough spots. Usually on the top of the ribs, the meat will be a little tough. These ribs didn’t have that. Let’s just say, this hit the spot and has staved off my bbq craving for a little while. We had leftover ribs and let me tell you, I’m looking forward to putting the rib meat on a roll and eating it that way. That’s gonna be good!

Potato Boats
This fascinated all the members of my family. My wife and kids are huge potato lovers and this intrigued us. We’ve never had smoked potato before so we were all looking forward to this. This is a meal on its own so don’t think it’s an appetizer (it could be if you’re really hungry). It’s a big smoked potato that’s been covered in butter, cheese, sour cream and bbq pulled pork. The potato itself was done to perfection. It was tender and not mushy and had a nice consistency to it. It wasn’t like a traditional baked potato that can easily be mashed by your fork. It was more solid than that but fully cooked. All the other ingredients on top, was gravy, so to speak. This was a big hit with everyone. I love ribs and I can usually put away a rack of baby back ribs all by myself. After eating the potato and ONE rib I was done. I was too full to eat any more. Now I’m not as crazy about potatos like the rest of my family but this was good and I would get this again.

Mac and cheese
My daughter loves Mac and cheese and she loved this. I’m not a big fan of Mac and cheese but I sampled some and it was good.

All in all. It was a great meal. One of the best we’ve had during our stay. If you have a craving for bbq, Big Bs will not disappoint. When we come back to top sail, this will be on the top of our list of places to eat.

Absolutely the best smoked food I've ever had! Ribs, Mac and cheese, corn on the cob, turkey legs, etc.. Their home made sauces (not really needed since everything is seasoned/ dry rubbed to perfection) adds the perfect addition to the flavor. I'm ashamed to admit that our vacation home is located 1/2 mile from the tiki bar (their location) and we've never tried it till now. It's worth your while to give it a shot, pretty sure you won't be disappointed, we definitely weren't! It's now a staple in our future getaways 100%. Great job guys. See you soon!

Hands down the best BBQ around! Glad to have Big B back in Sneads Ferry this year. If you haven't tried this place you don't know what you're missing.
