Big J's Roadhouse And Grill - Humboldt

Maybe 2.5 stars today? Has potential I didn 't partake in, re smoked meat dishes, but, for me, it fell short of three stars for the price point. Not a lot of interesting options along the way nearby. Pass through here several times a month. Pictures posted here G weren 't accurate? Bacon cheese burger came with two, not four strips of bacon. They were pedestrian at best, nothing special. Saw a picture of 6 boneless wings in three flavors. I was told they are only available as one flavor per six. Ok. They were the daily special. Water had some funky sweetened flavor to it, possibly residual from the bar gun? I don 't know, but, it soured my appetite right off. The flavor of the burger patty was good, and the boneless wings were solid white meat. I 'd bet the smoked meat dishes would satisfy moreso. I know a couple sure things in Mitchell and likely to stick to them. I only ordered the bacon as it seemed hyped up as something special. That shortage and the funky ice water left me with regrets. I MAY roll the dice and try a steak or ribs someday. Service was friendly and straight-forward and I appreciate that.

Really disappointed with this place. The only reason I give them two stars was the BBQ sauce was good but tasted store bought. We went today for the Father's Day Brunch Buffet. The server was awful. Did not mention anything about the tea being unsweet tho we ordered sweet tea. They apparently don't have sweet tea yet he didn't have sugar or anything for us to sweeten it. Then the buffet was such a disappointment for the price. Nothing was really very good. Ok the marshmallows on the chocolate fondue bar were wonderful...typical store-bought but delicious, same ones we buy at home. Also the ribs were alright. So there's the two stars. That server tho! Maybe it was his first day? The server charged us for what should have been a free under 5 yr old meal. Then he was dazed and confused whenever we asked him for anything let alone fixing our bill. Not coming back.

This far exceeded my expectations!! Ordered the pulled pork meal, with waffle fries, baked beans and corn muffin. The pork was a heaping quantity, super smoked to perfection and served on delicious buttery bread! Wife ordered the hot beef, with mashed potatoes and lots of gravy. She ranted and raved about how great it was! Service was excellent and drinks are cheap. I got the beer of the month (Budweiser) for 2 bucks! Mixed drink was only 4 50, what a deal! I noticed quite a few beers on tap as well. Definitely check this place out!!

I absolutely love this place!! It never disappoints! The food is always served hot and fresh and tastes amazing! The service is great and the staff is always smiling and ready to serve you! I highly recommend!

Our family likes this little hideout, we try to stop on our way to Sioux Falls. Wings and daily specials are great.
