The 17 Best Restaurants in Columbia, Home of the University of Missouri | Eater

"Missouri boasts some top-tier barbeque, and Big Daddy’s is a solid local choice. Founders Lloyd and Fontella Henry have years of experience smoking tender meats, at Big Daddy’s and at a downtown restaurant called Lloyd’s Barbecue before that. The menu covers a number of classic barbecue items, but try the brisket sandwich or baby back ribs, and don’t miss the zingy, ketchup-based house sauce. The family-owned business now has two locations, on Garth Avenue and Paris Road, along with a food truck that helps the restaurant cater events across town. Big Daddy’s has consistently grown over the years, mostly thanks to word of mouth, a good sign of the quality." - Chloe Konrad

This was our first time here and we were really impressed! The service was great and the food was delicious! One of the ladies that worked there even mixed up a special hot sauce for my husband. We both had the pulled pork and fries. Everything tasted fresh and yummy. We will definitely be going back!

I’ve had a lot of BBQ in my day, from Tennessee to Texas and nothing compares to Big Daddy’s BBQ!! Wife and I wanted some bbq, got the pork steak and rib tips. This is single handed the best bbq I have ever had. Easily in top 5 in nation. This is a must have if you can!

I got the pulled pork nachos today and they were so bomb. The portion is big and I wasn't able to finish it, but if you tend to eat larger portions at a time, it will fill you up. The cornbread is great too! I also don't usually drink sweet tea because I like it unsweetened but it was really good. No complaints from me on any of it.

OMG... This place is so good. The BBQ, the collard greens, the baked beans, the potato salad were all amazing, and I am picky with baked beans. The quiet Blues music just sets the atmosphere! We WILL BE BACK!!

The people serving were very nice and the atmosphere was cool which got my hopes up. The BBQ (brisket) did not have much flavor, servings were too small for the price. Disappointing.

This is THE SPOT. The brisket, the ribs, the baked beans, corn bread… everything was way too good for this spot to be this low key. The meat was tender and the barbecue sauce was awesome. Great serving size for the value. The owner is awesome and very friendly former NFL player too. The staff is awesome too, very energetic and kind demeanor. The place has good vibes overall, some Marvin Gaye and Eryka Badu playing in the back while you’re eating. I will be coming back, real soul in this place and you definitely taste it.

Good food. Definitely authentic. Brisket had nice smoke ring. Pork belly bites were crisp and hot. Definitely recommend.
