If you are a huge fan of deer heads I can pretty much guarantee you will love this place. I'm not particularly but I still very much appreciated Big Wood BBQ and Grill. Service and food were equally great on both of my visits.

Consistently good food and service. Wildlife Adorned walls line the dining area creating a warm and bucolic experience. The bar area is tastefully appointed and well stocked with several TVs for those who wish to view sports or conservative news. Highly recommend this restaurant.
