Our Story

Big O's Texas BBQ is the culmination of a lifelong passion for authentic Texas barbecue, served with a side of Southern hospitality. Located in Waterford, WI, our family-owned restaurant has been bringing the rich flavors and traditions of Texas barbecue to the heart of the Midwest since 2021. At Big O's, we pride ourselves on offering an unforgettable dining experience with smoked meats and savory sides that are seasoned and cooked to perfection. From tender brisket to flavorful pulled pork, chicken, and ribs, we create each dish with the same dedication and love that started in our owner Otis's childhood.

Otis, the heart and soul behind Big O's, discovered his passion for barbecue as a young boy growing up in Dallas, Texas. Every time the family gathered for a barbecue, his mom would let him handle the grill, sparking a love for grilling and smoking meats that would follow him throughout his life. His commitment to creating the finest barbecue came from years of perfecting the craft, learning the art of slow-smoking meats, and mastering the balance of flavors. This passion has become the foundation of Big O's Texas BBQ, where every dish is a reflection of Otis’s dedication to excellence.

We specialize in authentic Texas barbecue, focusing on quality, flavor, and technique. Our menu includes a variety of smoked meats, including brisket, pulled pork, chicken, ribs, and sausage, all cooked low and slow to lock in the deep, smoky flavors that make Texas barbecue so special. Each item is expertly seasoned and smoked to perfection, ensuring that every bite is juicy, tender, and packed with bold flavors. Whether you're in the mood for a savory meal or a quick snack, our menu offers something for every craving.

In addition to our smoked meats, we also offer delicious sides that complement the main dishes. From creamy mac and cheese to tangy coleslaw, every side is made with fresh ingredients and prepared with the same attention to detail as our barbecue. And don’t forget to treat yourself to a slice of our homemade peach cobbler—a sweet, comforting end to your meal that has quickly become a customer favorite.

Big O's Texas BBQ isn't just about great food—it's about bringing people together to experience the culture and tradition of Texas barbecue. We’re proud to serve Waterford and the surrounding communities, including Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties, and we’re excited to continue growing our presence in the area. Our restaurant is now open for both dine-in and carry-out, so whether you prefer to enjoy your meal with us in our welcoming atmosphere or take it home, we’ve got you covered.

We invite you to come and experience the true taste of Texas at Big O's Texas BBQ. From our smoked meats to our Southern-inspired sides, each meal is crafted with love and dedication. Stop by today and sample our sausage, try our famous peach cobbler, and taste what true Texas barbecue is all about.

I ordered the brisket sandwich, the pork sandwich, and the peach cobbler, and I’ve never had better BBQ anywhere. Everything was incredibly moist, tender, and packed with flavor. The peach cobbler was a great finish. On top of that, the service was amazing. Highly recommend this place! --- Want it shorter, longer, funnier, or more formal? Just tell me the vibe you want.
