Nestled in the heart of Texas, nestled between the Brazos River and Lake Jackson, lies a delightful gem: Big Back Kitchen. This family-owned, homegrown restaurant has been serving up comfort food classics with a twist since 2009. With its warm ambiance, attentive service, and mouthwatering dishes, it's no surprise that Big Back Kitchen has become a cherished local favorite and a must-visit destination for foodies across the Lone Star State.

Situated just off Highway 288 in Lake Jackson, Big Back Kitchen's location makes it an ideal pit stop for both locals and travelers. The restaurant's name nods to its historic roots, deeply entwined with the small-town charm of Lake Jackson. But it's the kitchen's ability to dish up tantalizing culinary creations that keep patrons lining up for more.

But the real stars of the show are the house specialties. The Big Back Burger, a half-pound juicy patty stacked with mouthwatering toppings, is a customer favorite. The Drunken Mac, a rich and decadent take on mac 'n' cheese loaded with chicken, bacon, jalapeños, and white truffle oil, is another standout. The menu also features a delightful selection of salads, sides, and desserts that complete the dining experience.

BBQ Bliss

Big Back Kitchen takes its barbecue seriously. The pitmasters slow-cook meats over mesquite wood, infusing smoky depth in every tender, fall-off-the-bone bite. The result is a treasure trove of Texan barbecue classics, from succulent brisket and flavorful pulled pork to tender ribs and juicy sausage.

The perk? You can enjoy these meats solo or combine them in satisfying platters paired with classic sides like creamy coleslaw, potato salad, and baked beans. Wash it all down with a selection from their well-curated beer menu, and you're in for a genuine Texas food fest.

From the Garden to the Table

Big Back Kitchen's commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients is evident in their garden-fresh salads. Dive into the spinach salad, crawled with crispy chicken and candied pecans, or indulge in the specialty salad, boasting a symphony of flavors like strawberries, pineapple, blue cheese, and candied pecans.

Their commitment to freshness doesn't stop at salads. Many of the sides, like the flash-fried okra andBBQ spiced sweet potatoes, are made from scratch. Even the house-made dressing, chock-full of herbs and spices, elevates each bite.
