9/10 After waiting for so long and getting excited to try your food, it was delicious, but it would have been nice if I got what I actually ordered. Pulled pork, baked beans and macaroni salad but instead got coleslaw with it. I even confirmed twice with the lady over the phone and the lady at the cash register. I understand mistakes happen just a little bummed out as I was very excited to try your food.

So glad I finally got to try here. Originally spotted it while taking a bus between Rochester and the Big Apple. Was road tripping and had left Rochester around 9 so we hit Binghamton & Big Zues at noon. As we walked in no customers were there so I wondered if they even had food yet prepared. Then just as we sat to start looking at the menu a whole crowd of people came in and before we knew it every booth was taken and people were chatting about BBQ and other good things. I got the spare ribs plate. Probably the Best BBQ deal I have ever gotten and it totally hit the spot and the BBQ craving I’ve been having for a couple of months. It was hard to decide what sides to get but I settled on the onion rings and fried okra. Both were very good and along with the cornbread all three were tasty as leftovers. Which is credit to how well they were made because such things are often not good as left overs or after being in a fridge. (Of course the ribs were good as left overs). And the okra came with what I describe as some kind of sour cream & Dorito ranch like dip that was quite good) My friend who doesn’t eat meat got the Mac and cheese and vegetarian baked beans and shared my side. And he enjoyed the food and experience as well. …I tasted his Mac and cheese and it was very homemade yummy tasting to me. We sadly were too full for the banana pudding and didn’t want to get food coma while driving. But I hope to come back again soon to try it and more of the menu. Great menu. Plenty to choose from but not be overwhelmed. Just wished they had mashed potatoes :). And I love the motto that bbq might not end world hate but it can at least bring people to the table :) Also really love the paper towel set up at each table (so smart & charmingly done) and nice how there’s three big sauce bottles at each table. Great customer service too. Very friendly, cheerful and helpful. And super clean establishment. .A place you can take your mom, grandma and aunt to :).

Burnt ends are amazing. The brisket sandwich is huge. The greens and Mac salad has so much flavor. Staff is very friendly and fast.

I loved everything about this place. My family enjoyed delicious food, the awesome staff, and authentic old school BBQ vibe. There was great blues music playing as well in the background. The pulled hog, sliced brisket, onion rings, corn bread, fried chicken, and braised chicken were all fantastic. Oh yeah, the banana pudding was pretty fantastic as well. If you are in Binghamton, do yourself a favor and swing by....you won't be disappointed. I promise!

Amazing BBQ!!! We were passing through town and looking for a nice meal. Boy did we luck out!! Everything looked great and the service was incredibly friendly! I had the brisket and it blew me away! I definitely recommend going and going early! I'll be going again next time I pass through town. Keep up the good work.

This place is TOP TIER. Walk in and the atmosphere is so chill but still has a little energy with the classic rock/oldies playing. Food is incredible. Brisket with the house sauce *chefs kiss* The sweet miss running the register and front of house was super kind and greeted us with a big smile. We talked to the owner and he is so nice; he is very passionate and serious about what he does and you can taste the love in all the food. Worth every penny. The other gentleman who brought our food was also very nice. Wish I caught all their names; my memory is terrible, but I’ll never forget that brisket! Will be back soon!

This place knows how to do real good BBQ! The meat fell off the bone and tasted amazing. Even the sides were delicious. We had the Mac and cheese, Cole slaw, and collard greens, and were all fantastic. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, they made us feel welcome and provided great service, and Zeus the owner even came and personally thanked us for visiting which was really the icing on the cake. 10/10, great place!

Yooooo I thought no one can top Dallas in terms of my Barbecue experience but thank goodness I was wrong. The barbecue here was just simply amazing. Juicy, tender. The big boss wakes up at 1am everyday to start smoking. I ordered the brisket and pulled pork and I couldn’t be anymore satisfied. It was relatively cheap. Highly recommended !

Rebecca Quilty

Every bite of every item we ordered was incredible. We had the burnt ends, smoked turkey, mac and cheese, potato salad, collard greens, French fries and cornbread. Even all of the house sauces were delicious. By far, the best barbecue I’ve had in a very long time. We’ll definitely be back. We’ll be bringing friends and family back. And we’ll absolutely be using Big Zue’s for our next catered event.

It looked new, clean, and bright inside with lots of fun decorations. The food was good. The people who worked there were wonderful.

I've never run so fast to write a review. So, this is my second time visiting this place. The first time I ordered a general meat platter that had a mix of ribs, pulled pork, brisket, etc. The meat was a little dry, but better than most Binghamton area 'BBQ' we've had. But, the second time, I ordered the fried catfish meal plate. My full order was fried catfish, salt potatoes, and macaroni salad with cornbread. So, before I even opened the bag, I could smell the fishy odor coming from the catfish which immediately turned me off to the food, but when I opened the container, I was baffled? confused? at what I saw. The catfish resembled a chicken cutlet? Veal? The pieces were small and red. In short, they looked nothing like the pictures provided on the restaurant website but more so, they looked nothing like a piece of catfish I've ever eaten. Fried catfish is a very straightforward meal to make, my meal resembled nothing I've ever seen. To be honest, the fish tasted and resembled bad tilapia, but I can't confirm so let's just assume it was catfish. I took a bite and winced, at how nasty the fish was. It is certainly not of good quality, and also likely is a bit spoiled. It was lightly fried? Burnt? I don't know what I ate, but I had a visceral reaction to the taste and texture, so I said, okay, let me try the sides. I took a bite of the salt potatoes and nearly chipped a tooth. The potatoes were not cooked through so they were still raw/hard, there goes that side! Next was the mac salad. It was also a bit dry. Not terrible, but certainly not creamy and good. The cornbread. A classic...was sadly ruined by the fishy order that took over the entire container the takeout was in. Lastly, aside from this specific order, I just wanted to point out how 'exclusive' this restaurant is. Over the past year I've tried to get food several times and have only been successful twice because every other time they're closed with little to no notice. That should've been a sign. Advice to MGMT/Chefs: Consistency breeds quality. Currently there is none in the hours, food, or service. I've also added photos of what the 'fried catfish' is advertised as on their site versus what I got.
