Big E’s Barbeque

Maybe it is good for drunk people. I had the brisket burrito with pico de gallo. The brisket was tough, like a well done steak, 50% of it was fat, and even had a big chunk that couldn’t be chewed at all. Seems like it is not smoked long enough, if at all. You get a decent amount but with all that fat it is not worth the $ 6. It comes wrapped in a paper towel and aluminum foil, so you will have to pick out the paper towel out of the burrito.
Had better brisket burritos at UMC hospital.
Maybe I got a bad batch or the chicken might be a better route.

This has got to be one of the best stops in Lubbock. They may not have hours posted, anywhere that I’ve found, but generally thursday friday and saturday night they can be found open. The staff is always very social and helpful when trying new things, I really loved the pico and chicken as well as the brisket with bbq sauce and hot sauce. The only detractor I think is worth posting, is that the brisket is pretty chewy sometimes. If it was moist I would have given it a higher rating.

One of the first places I ate at after I moved to lubbock from California. and man… I wish I was born here just to keep coming back to this place! BBQ on a tortilla kinda freaked me out a bit and I was hesitant to try it, but it was one of the best experiences of my life. I tell everyone about this place and I wish I could eat it every single day. Yes, it is THAT good.

Still just as good as it gets, it’s open late night, and the nostalgia factor for alumni is great. New since my last review is that they FINALLY take cards!!!

There may not be anywhere to sit and there may only be three options on the «menu» but wow this is some delicious barbecue. No frills meat on bread place. Perfect spot if your out late craving some good food.

If I could give less than a star I would. Customer service at this place sucks! Stood there for 15 minutes waiting for my order to be taken. The whole time the fat ass taking the orders is serving people that just walked up. Completely ignoring those of us who’ve been waiting their turn patiently, and for what? Some dried up, tough, tasteless bits of meat on a tortilla bread. No thanks! I’ll pass and take my business elsewhere to someplace that serves decent BBQ at least and appreciates their customers. Don’t waste your time or money on this place.

3 words: THREE MEAT COMBO
Doesn’t matter if your wasted or sober. If you’re are looking for a fast BBQ joint, you have found heaven.
Steak grilled to perfection, chicken moist and juicy, sausage brings the burrito all together. Term: Three meat combo. Don’t forget to have them add BBQ sauce and salsa. Food porn hands down.

So good make you wanna slap you mamas mama

You will never eat anything better after a Tech game!

Man, this is some authenticity, here. You’ve basically got your choice of Texas style BBQ’d meat wrapped in a fire-​warmed tortilla and your choice of condiments.
See Wendy T’s historically accurate bio…
This is a MUST if you’re pulling a late night in the Depot. Those days being behind me, I’ll often drop down there for some late night snack-​ige on Saturday nights.
Why Saturday night, specifically, you ask? Because that’s the only day they’ll grill shrimp. I’ve even asked them to carry it every night, but Ferlis won’t have it. He said he wants to keep it special. So, Saturday it is.
I get the chicken/​shrimp combo with bbq sauce and mustard. Divine. I’ve found their pico (w/​fresh jalepeño) & hot sauces too spicy. I can generally handle my heat, but it’s just too overwhelming in these wraps. Especially since I get shrimp. I want to be able to taste, enjoy and savor these babies. I’m telling you, these shrimp are grilled and seasoned to perfection and compliment the chicken beautifully.
Trust me on this one. Chicken & Shrimp combo, with bbq & mustard. Simple, delicious, authentic TX BBQ!
Cons: I’d stay away from the brisket. Last time I tried it (2 – 3 weeks ago) it was really tough. It comes in fajita-​sized strips and you can’t cut through them. You end up pulling the whole strip out when you bite and have to chew the hell out of it. (I was going to give 5 stars until I remembered that.) This was why I hadn’t tried it in so long. Sausage: I’m sure they’re pretty good, but unless you have a death wish, I’d stay away from eating a footlong piece of sausage.
p. s. — When you walk up, be prepared to smell like BBQ for the rest of the time you wear those close and have not have washed your hair. The guys are cooking over a huge, wood-​fired grill that emanates smokey goodness. Which reminds me, the guys are cool and really nice. Most of them have been working there for years. Tip them well.
Now serving lunch! (I haven’t tried it yet)

Love it! Friendly staff, great food and quick service. Doesn’t get better than that! Oh and if you love hot stuff, try the pico. You will not be sorry.

SOOOO good! I go here sometimes after leaving the depot. The owner is a very nice, appreciative gentleman who serves up some MEAN meat. I usually order the sausage in a tortilla with spicy sauce. Superb!
Only reason I took off a star is because I paid roughly $ 9 for two orders of sausage wraps. A tad ridiculous for not very much food, but delicious none the less.

You haven’t really lived in Lubbock until you’ve had Ferlis BBQ, now known as Big E’s.
Ferlis Ellis has been around the LBK for as long as I know, serving up the simplest, most delicious barbeque around. He started with just a mobile BBQ grill that you could smell and seek out after leaving any club in the Depot District. He would be on any number of street corners, and you would follow your nose and then devour either sausage or brisket wrapped in a tortilla with whatever goodness you request — pico de gallo, extra bbq sauce (spicy or not), and/​or hot sauce.
Now he has a permanent location, so you know exactly where to walk /​weave after your night out on the town. Still the same basic menu, although I think he’s added a few variations. Ferlis has the best late night cuisine in the south plains. Don’t miss it if you’re in town.
