The Big Empty Beer & BBQ

Our go to place on the way to and from Ransom Canyon/Lubbock for Tech fun and we are never disappointed, great seasoning in the ribs and sweettea and unsweetened Tea

Service was really great! Lots of attention was given to me, but I am pretty dadgum charming. Beer was cold. Burger was tasty and made to order. Everything a weary biker in need of a break and some gasoline could ask for.

I expected better! The service was not polite & didn't check on me. Food took forever! The brisket was meh. Didn't have much flavor. The sausage was just ok. The Mac & chz was bland and green beans were not seasoned. I kinda knew it wasn't going to be great because there was barely anyone there during dinner time. Also I had to guard my food against the flies.

We loved it here! Amazing pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. Yummy fries and delicious cherry cobbler with ice cream. We will definitely be back when passing through! The service was also wonderful.

Friendly and welcoming as soon as I stepped in. Great atmosphere for a nice lunchtime family bbq place. Not empty but not overly crowded. Servers were very attentive and efficient with everything coming out hot and freshly made. We'll definitely come back. Brisket was tender juicy and delicious. Pork sandwich was delicious and fully well served not dry or bland. Seasoned with some great spices perfectly balanced.

Delicious food and great service! The menu offers a nice variety of choices for everyone. The cream corn is ! We will stop here again.

Firstly the decor and feel is rustic. I think that fits the areas feeling very well. A beautiful smile and excellent service is what I'd describe what I got! Very welcoming and friendly. Now the sweet tea I got was a tad sweet but I'm more of a lesser sweat and more tea kind of guy so no fault there! My appetizer... fried pickles...I didn't enjoy them.. to salty for me and no pickle just dried out bites so I'll pass on that one! My main course was delicious! The turkey tender and flavorful!! I always order the sliced turkey breast because it's delicious! The brisket had a good amount of fatty bites and was flavorful! Is it the best I've had... no but it's definitely worth the try! Bbq sauce is a bit sweet but compliments the food well. The potato salad was very good and the Mac and cheese a tad dry but very nice flavors! Overall I'd come back and I do every other day because the food is good and the prices are decent!

Best bbq in Texas HANDS DOWN. Service was excellent and the owner stopped at our table for a personal touch. Would recommend for anyone passing through Seymour.

Do not stop in if you're in a hurry! We waited an hour after we ordered to get our brisket and sausage! After 45 minutes we asked the waitress when we would get our food- she said well another table had been waiting an hour- not a helpful response. She said they had been slammed- umm it's BBQ it's already cooked and they had 2 large tables of 10 people that were served before we ordered. ITS BBQ- I have never waited much time at all after ordering.
Brisket and sausage were good but definitely not worth the wait.

The Big Empty is the best BBQ place in Seymour, TX. They took over another restaurant which was OK and really made it great. The building is remodeled and fixed up nicely. It has a rustic Texas feel and excellent BBQ. I have been here before and will certainly go again when in the area. Seymour is a small town, and there's not a lot of choices. But if you are anywhere in the area and are hungry The Big Empty is a no brainer. You certainly won't leave empty!

There is a covered and screened porch dining area as well as indoor dining. Both are pleasant, and it's obvious it's a hit with the locals. The service is friendly and efficient.

I had the BBQ turkey sandwich and it was both tender and tasty. The BBQ sauce was great, not overly spicy. Be sure to taste their famous BBQ beans.

The salad bar is not very extensive, but who goes to a BBQ place for salad? Just sayin'! You can get the salad with some meat or chicken on it and it would be more of a meal.

The restrooms were clean.

The owners are still expanding and anticipate fixing the place up even more. They even plan to include a dog walk park for those traveling with pets. It's worth the short drive off the main highway to stop here. I look forward to returning.
