“ Bodacious is the best! I drive to Marshall from Shreveport to get my ribs because they're the best! There's other Bodacious locations but none like Marshall! Go we were in drive through we were headed back to Shreveport from Tyler and Longview and headed to visit my friend's Church in Greenwood Louisiana I had to make sure I stopped by Bodacious on my way! I was about 30 minutes late but right on time because they had some power outage issue, at my friend's church but God is an on time God ”
“ First time here. Everything is great. The food tastes delicious I’m not very big on beans, but oh, man these are delicious. The sliced beef is very tender and just melts in my mouth. Definitely will be coming back. ”
“ I would show you pictures, but I ate it before I could take a good shot. The chopped beef sandwich was so jam-packed with meat I had to eat it with a fork. Play make their own barbecue sauce. It is sweet, a little tangy, flavorful, and doesn't have much pepper- good for kids. The cakes are locally made from a bakery in town. They are incredible. My only negative is that I didn't like the side options they had, but they did have chips. ”
“ The food was more than worth it!! Best brisket I've ever had! The decorations were nice, and their chocolate cream pie was wonderful. There's not much seating, but we got ours to go anyway. ”
“ The food is very good, especially the sausage. The chopped beef is good and the pulled pork is very good. And they do not skimp on the portions, the chopped beef sandwich is loaded. ”
“ I’m actually impressed. Most of the time a barbecue restaurant has really good barbecue meat, but their sides are terrible. Not with this barbecue joint. I ordered a combination plate with chopped beef and smoked turkey. Both were seasoned and juicy. I ordered the barbecue or baked beans I don’t think they’re barbecued, but they do have meat in them Very unique and really good. The potato salad is homemade it’s different but I actually like it. ”
“ Are you serious??? Why can't all the Bodacious locations be like this one? When I'm in Marshall, I have to stop at Bodacious Bar-B-Q and get their rib plate. Sometimes, I'll even get one to go so I can enjoy it later when I get home. Unlike other Bodacious locations that weigh the food and give you only a little, here you get 5 to 7 ribs, depending on their size, plus two sides. You will not be disappointed when you go here. Everyone is friendly and provides excellent customer service. I tell everyone the best Bodacious is located in East Texas, Marshall, Texas. ”
