Bodacious Bar-B-Q

I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember. Always the most friendly group of people working. Food come fast and taste amazing. I recommend the sloppy Joe’s with potato salad and a large sweet tea!

I had the Porkfecto Sandwich with fries and it was great. We also had the stuffed jalapeños for an app. They were just right and wrapped in amazing bacon. Great all around!

I think 3 stars is generous… For a place that specializes in BBQ its not that great. My friends from Missouri liked it and said is was better than anything they had near home.
If your from Texas I would not recommend this place… its not bad but it’s by no means special

I’ve been at this Bodacious several times and another one in Longview as well. They have good BBQ, yes, but I don’t consider it exceptional. Long waits to get your food every time I’ve gone in there.

Pulled Pork sandwich the best anywhere. The turkey sandwich was tasty & moist. If you like Que you really need to try this place.

Ribs! Ribs! Ribs!!! My absolute favorite Ribs!!! They are always perfectly cooked and just spicy enough. Get the rib plate with the beans (super delicious) and potato salad (also crazy yummy) it also comes with sliced white bread and of course great BBQ sauce but you really don’t need it but it’s so good you eat it anyway (that’s what the breads for/​dipping it in the sauce) there’s enough food for me to have lunch and then dinner in just 1 rib plate. Dine in or to go the service is always fast and food quality is great.

Love this little place. When I say little I mean it (wish they were bigger) but the food makes up for it! The chopped beef sandwich is SO good. I love their sauce too. You definitely get enough food for your money. It’s really an all around amazing place!

I don’t know where to start. Oh wait, yes I do. Ribs, Ribs, Ribs. I started my Bodacious adventure in January when I was in town on business. My temps told me time and time again to get the ribs, but all I focused on was the brisket. After my third round of brisket, I finally heeded the words of my workers and other locals. I’ve been kicking myself in the rear ever since for not starting with ribs.
It’s not often that I encounter tender ribs that need no sauce, but that is exactly what you get at Bodacious. I have to take things back to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to get anything on par with my Bodacious ribs experience.
As for sides, they don’t have many choices, but the potato salad and pintos was perfect for me. I don’t know what else to say… Just try the ribs. They speak for themselves!!!

Got the smoked sausage plate which came with 2 sides. Sausage was delicious! And the BBQ sauce was very tasty. Got the potato salad and beans. Highly recommend the beans. Potato salad was average.

Delicious huge chopped beef sandwich. Ribs very tender and flavorful. We do have to mention that the pinto beans were the star of the show. Texas BBQ is alive and well in Marshall. Great meal.

Good Q.
Not pretentious. Not fancy. Served quick.
It’s not Pecan Lodge, or Lockhart, but it’s pretty decent in my opinion.
The sliced beef and sausage plate is what I normally go for, because their ribs are a little too fatty for my tastes.
Good beans, good potato salad.
I’ll keep coming back.

A place that I was at a lot when I was still living there. Its some of the best bbq in the area!

I was in town for a few months & my Grandparents recommended this joint. Cool laid back and totally worth the trip. This place is as Marshall TX does. I enjoyed my time down south and most of all here @ Bodacious Bar-​B-​Q.
Try the rib plate [sandwich], pulled chicken or smoked turkey sandwiches. DELICIOUS… Order extra bread & sauce you’ll need it

Delicious! Driving home to Houston from Illinois, we were hungry for some bbq. Found this little gem on Unilocal and couldn’t be more pleased. Staff was SUPER friendly and pleasant. Food came out fast and piping hot. We got chopped beef and sliced beef sandwiches with slaw and potato salad. The sandwiches alone are enough food. Huge portions! The hubby had to finish my chopped beef plate because I was so full !! Price was good, under $ 20 for two of us. We will definitely be returning. :)

The best BBQ around even better then in Memphis!!! Great beans, potato salad, and coleslaw! The best sauce ever! Must try it !!!

When people talk about Texas BBQ… They’re probably talking about Bodacious! This place is hands down the best BBQ I’ve ever had! However, don’t take my word for it because I’m from California and bodacious is my first and only real experience of Texas BBQ… Sadly. When I did eat from here, I kept asking myself «what in thee hell do these people put in their food? CRACK???» Because I just kept wanting more! Everything they served was amazing! The beans for example. I hate beans but I just couldn’t put it down! That makes no sense to me! Any who, eat here for some bomb ass BBQ! It’s addictingly delicious!

This is just great, straight-​forward BBQ at a decent price. Don’t walk in looking for gimmicks or anything crazy. Brisket has good flavor, but is not overly salty. Sausage was flavorful, with just a slight hint of spiciness. Best part of the experience was the sauce. Just made the meat come alive. Looking forward to the next time I’m in Marshall, so I can try this place again!

Every trip back to Texas, has to have Bodacious BBQ on the itinerary! Hands down, the best. I grew up on Bodacious while living in Longview and Marshall. The chop beef sandwich is like no other I have come across anywhere. The slice beef is right behind it. And the sauce is so special.

The food was very good and the service was very quick.

We were going to Caddo Lake and wanted to stop for BBQ on the way. We checked Unilocal and found two options; this was actually our second choice as the first was closed for renovation. It turned out well, however, as the portions were HUGE, the brisket was tender and smoky, and the prices are cheap! I loved the spicy beans. Cole slaw was good but not spectacular. We overheard another table complain that the potato salad «had no taste.» But in our book this place is a winner and I would return in a heart beat.
