First, we are from the central coast of California where "Santa Maria style" tri-tip barbecue was born at Jocko's in Nipomo. Until today, I thought the only place for excellent barbecued tri-tip.
We had the great pleasure to enjoy an outrageously good lunch with our daughter and her family at Big B's in Henderson! We were first greeted with a very pleasant young lady who asked if we'd ever been there before. With our indication that we were new to the establishment, she asked if we wanted to sample three of the meats they serve -- turkey, brisket and tri-tip. What? Who does that???
Anyway, each of the samples were exquisite! I stuck with ordering the tri-tip in my smugness that only the good tri-tip is prepared and served on the central coast.
Regardless of the meats we all had ordered, it melted in our mouths! Yum!
The sides were equally delicious, with more than you can eat in one sitting.
In closing, about a quarter of the way through the meal, one of the staff members came to the table with freshly prepared macaroni and cheese for those who had ordered it as a side. She said that she wasn't thoroughly happy with the quality of what was initially served, so she had prepared four piping hot servings! Who does that???
If you want excellent BBQ, exceptional customer service, big boy servings, and all at a fair price, go to Big B's Texas BBQ on St. Rose in Henderson!!!
