Big Keys BBQ has some serious flavor potential. Their BBQ sauce is incredible — a perfect mix of traditional and Carolina-style. It looks like a classic tomato-based sauce, but you can really taste the mustard and vinegar that give it a tangy, flavorful kick. Easily the best part of the meal.
Unfortunately, the chicken was dry, which was disappointing. It lacked the tenderness and juiciness that you expect from well-done BBQ.
There are picnic tables outside, which work great on a nice day, but it would be helpful to have indoor seating— especially in bad weather. Right now, there's a side-by-side UTV being used for storage inside, and while it adds to the rustic vibe, replacing that space with functional tables would be more useful for guests.
Overall, the staff was friendly, and there’s definitely something special in the sauce. With a few improvements, Big Keys could really stand out on the local BBQ scene.
